Using the SDK

With the SDK from Century Embedded Technologies, you have all the tools you need to develop applications and graphical interfaces for embedded Linux hardware platforms. After you install the SDK on any RedHat 6.2 machine, you can develop applications for your target platform on your desktop machine. Instead of having to take the time to upload your application to your target device after each compile, you develop your application on your desktop and upload your application when you complete develpment.

When you purchase the Development Environment SDK for a particular target platform, you receive the the following:

Precompiled Binaries

A set of ready-to-install binaries for your target platform, including boot loader, kernel, Nano-X, and demonstration applications.

Linux Kernel Source Code
