Pioneering Concepts

After nearly five years of working with Yocto and my love/hate relationship with Eclipse, I've decided to create an Eclipse distribution that is basically Eclipse Mars with a modified version of Linux Tools to fix all the remote profiling/Valgrind, a modified Yocto Eclipse Plugin, the awesome LTTng tracing plugins and a few extra plugins that I find useful for Embedded Linux development using a Yocto based SDK installation. Write up clear and consise Tutorials on how to use Eclipse for Embedded Linux Development specifically targetted at Yocto based Embedded systems.

The idea is to create a Yocto distribution and SDK for the Raspberry Pi and showcase how to do application based development using Eclipse. Tutorials on how to setup a terminal, use SSH/SCP for remote connections, use the Valgrind suite of tools remotely, perform remote debugging using gdb and gdb server, use LTTng from Eclipse, use the Yocto Eclipse plugin or use the Eclipse CDT with a Yocto SDK.

The first project Meme, short for Memory Map Editor, is a Java based application for creating Memory Mapped IO regions definitions saved as XML and transformed using XSLT to create HTML documentation, io read/write software routines, Lauterbach Peripheral files and more besides.

Finally after 8 years and 2 failed attempts I've decided it's time that Pioneering Concepts has a website that will include a variety of Embedded Software resources.
