    Tool Suite Usage

    The Intel(R) Embedded Software Development Tool Suite supports a wide variety of Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor based devices. This means that there is not one single use case or usage model that will fit the needs of every developer. Development for Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor based devices tends to have one aspect in common however. In most cases you will want to take advantage of the performance and the high screen resolution of your regular development environment and deploy your build to the real hardware for validation and analysis only. In short, most commonly the usage model will be one of cross development.

    The Intel(R) Embedded Software Development Tool Suite for Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor addresses this in multiple ways.

    Please follow the instructions in the Installation Guide Install_All.htm for the installation of all the development host system tool suite components. Have a close look at the Moblin* Integration Guide Moblin_Integration.htm to pick your best customized solution for the target components and for cross-development.
