            The Eclipse IDE is a popular development environment and it
            fully supports development using the Yocto Project.

        <para>
            When you install and configure the Eclipse Yocto Project
            Plug-in into the Eclipse IDE, you maximize your Yocto
            Project experience.
            Installing and configuring the Plug-in results in an
            environment that has extensions specifically designed to let
            you more easily develop software.
            These extensions allow for cross-compilation, deployment, and
            execution of your output into a QEMU emulation session as well
            as actual target hardware.
            You can also perform cross-debugging and profiling.
            The environment also supports performance enhancing
            <ulink url='http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/'>tools</ulink>
            that allow you to perform remote profiling, tracing,
            collection of power data, collection of latency data, and
            collection of performance data.

                    Configuring the Neon Eclipse Yocto Plug-in involves
                    setting the Cross Compiler options and the Target
                    options.
                    The configurations you choose become the default

                    You do have opportunities to change them later when

                        Cross Compiler options enable Eclipse to use your
                        specific cross compiler toolchain.
                        To configure these options, you must select
                        the type of toolchain, point to the toolchain,
                        specify the sysroot location, and select the target
                        architecture.

                                        For example, suppose you are an

                                        need to build a target image.
                                        Instead, you just want to use an
                                        architecture-specific toolchain on
                                        an existing kernel and target root

                                        In other words, you have downloaded
                                        and installed a pre-built toolchain
                                        for an existing image.

                You can create two types of projects:  Autotools-based, or
                Makefile-based.
                This section describes how to create Autotools-based
                projects from within the Eclipse IDE.
                For information on creating Makefile-based projects in a
                terminal window, see the
                "<link linkend='makefile-based-projects'>Makefile-Based Projects</link>"
                section.
                <note>
                    Do not use special characters in project names
                    (e.g. spaces, underscores, etc.).  Doing so can
                    cause configuration to fail.

                    When building "Yocto Project SDK Autotools" projects,

                    build.
                    For these cases only, it is recommended to add a new
                    linked folder to the appropriate sysroot.

                            The host on which you are running QEMU must

                            running to be able to make RPC calls on a
                            server on that machine.
                            If QEMU does not invoke and you receive error

                            As an example, on a new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
                            installation, you must do the following in
                            order to get QEMU to launch:
                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>

                            After installing <filename>rpcbind</filename>,
                            you need to edit the
                            <filename>/etc/init.d/rpcbind</filename> file
                            to include the following line:

                            After modifying the file, you need to start the

                        One useful task at this point would be to determine

                        The IP address of the QEMU machine appears in the

                        You can use this address to help you see which

                the emulator to perform debugging.
                Follow these steps to deploy the application.
                <note>
                    Currently, Eclipse does not support SSH port
                    forwarding.
                    Consequently, if you need to run or debug a remote
                    application using the host display, you must create a
                    tunneling connection from outside Eclipse and keep
                    that connection alive during your work.
                    For example, in a new terminal, run the following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ ssh -XY <replaceable>user_name</replaceable>@<replaceable>remote_host_ip</replaceable>
                    </literallayout>
                    Using the above form, here is an example:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ ssh -XY root@192.168.7.2
                    </literallayout>
                    After running the command, add the command to be
                    executed in Eclipse's run configuration before the
                    application as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     export DISPLAY=:10.0
                    </literallayout>
                    Be sure to not destroy the connection during your QEMU
                    session (i.e. do not
                    exit out of or close that shell).

                        However, if a previous QEMU session did not exit

                        You could also browse to any other path you have
                        write access to on the target such as
                        <filename>/usr/bin</filename>.
                        This location is where your application will be
                        located on the QEMU system.
                        If you fail to browse to and specify an appropriate
                        location, QEMU will not understand what to remotely
                        launch.
                        Eclipse is helpful in that it auto fills your
                        application name for you assuming you browsed to a
                        directory.

                As mentioned earlier in the manual, performance tools exist
                (Linuxtools) that enhance your development experience.
                These tools are aids in developing and debugging
                applications and images.
                You can run these tools from within the Eclipse IDE through
                the "Linuxtools" menu.
            </para>
