Overview Most development solutions used today in the ARM® world are commercial packages. This document shows a toolchain based on a GNU open-source solution. It is an adaptation of the YAGARTO GNU-Based Software Development for the TTI9XE board. 1.1 Scope The goal of the present document is to provide a step-by-step guide for setting up a GNU software design environment targeted at the TTI9XE board using the Atmel AT91SAM9XE microcontroller. The EABI design environment includes the following features: o Compilation and building of projects using the GNU compiler toolchain o Debugging using the Atmel SAM-ICE™ emulator and SEGGER GDB-server o Memory programming using SAM-BA™, Atmel In-Situ Programming (ISP) tool o Integration of those tasks in an Eclipse™-based development environment 1.2 References [01],Atmel.
