Upon the successful installation of the
eCosPro Developer's Kit, a new menu group should
appear in your desktop menu. The exact menu layout will vary according to
your host operating system and distribution. The example menu layout of
various operating systems is illustrated in the figures below.
The menu items are:
Configuration Tool
Start up the eCos Configuration Tool, using the default target,
preferred toolchain and host tools specified for this release.
Eclipse
Start up the Eclipse Development Environment, using the default target,
preferred toolchain and host tools specified for this release.
Shell Environment
Open a new window giving a command line shell environment that has been
set up to use the eCosPro repository specific to this release, as well as the
preferred toolchain and host tools placed at the head of the command
search PATH. On Linux, this is achieved through a
shell script that opens the user's default shell in one of the following
terminal windows, in order of preference:
gnome-terminal, konsole,
xterm. On Windows, the default shell
CMD is opened.
Readme Notes
Any release-specific notes or issues are listed in this simple text document.
These notes will have been displayed by the installer immediately after
installation, but are also preserved here for future reference.
eCosPro Documentation
This provides a link to the main index page for all the documentation
included with the release. The documentation is provided primarily in
HTML format so may be read by any modern web browser, but in most cases
is also available in PDF format, so may also be read using a
PDF viewer such as AcroRead, Acrobat, Document Viewer, etc.
Request Support
This item will open a browser at the eCosCentric bugzilla
website to enable you to file a new advice or support request. You can also
search the bugzilla database for existing issue reports as well as track your
support submission.
eCosCentric on the Web
This is a link to eCosCentric's main web site to allow you easy access to
updated information regarding eCosPro products, the most up-to-date
public documentation, eCosCentric support pages, and so on.
Note: If you have a custom or confidential platform eCosPro port,
documentation specific to your hardware is not publicly available and will
only be found within your installation. In addition, the online documentation
may also describe features (API's, libraries, packages etc) that are not part
of your release.
Uninstall eCosPro (Linux only)
This option allows you to remove eCosPro components from your system.
