Learning Embedded Linux Using the Yocto Project

Eclipse ADT plug-ins

The Application Development Toolkit, also called ADT, provides a cross-development platform suitable for custom build and user-targeted applications. It is comprised of the following elements:

• A cross-toolchain: It is associated with the sysroot, both of them being automatically generated using Bitbake, and the target-specific metadata is made available by the target hardware supplier.
• The Quick Emulator environment (Qemu): It is used to simulate the target hardware.
