48 An Anjuta IDE plugin exists to make developing software within the Poky framework
49 easier for the application developer. It presents a graphical IDE from which the
50 developer can cross compile an application then deploy and execute the output in a QEMU
51 emulation session. It also supports cross debugging and profiling.
