2. Configure Digi Application Development Environment
After the installation, Eclipse is automatically executed. You can also double-click the shortcut on your Desktop. When Eclipse launches, follow these steps to configure it:
- Eclipse prompts for a workspace directory. The workspace is the directory for storing projects and configurations. Use the default or browse for a new one, and click Launch.
- The first time Eclipse with the Digi plug-ins is executed, a popup dialog appears asking to configure DEY toolchan settings. Click Yes to open the DEY Toolchains preference page.
-
Click Browse and select the directory where you want to install the new toolchains, which must have write permissions. The default directory is /opt/dey.
-
Click Download new toolchains. The Install new DEY toolchains dialog opens listing all the available Digi-provided toolchains to install:
- Select your device in the Platform drop-down menu to only list the available toolchains for your device.
- Select the newest toolchain version, the first toolchain in the list.
- Click Install selected. The download and installation process starts and the dialog displays its status. This process can take a while to complete depending on the size of the toolchain.
- Once finished, click Close.
- The newly installed toolchain is listed in the table. Select it to set as default.
- Click Apply and Close to save the changes and close the dialog.
