In case it is wanted to have the development environment in a virtual machine (which is optional), here are the steps:

1. install Virtualbox (4.1.8) (tested on Host-OS Windows 7, 64bit)
2. install Fedora 16 netinst (32 or 64bit, depending on your Host-OS)
3. install Virtualbox Guest Additions

1. install Eclipse Classic (3.7.1, Indigo) (Linux, 32bit) 64bit version of Eclipse didn't work)
2. add the CDT Plugin (C/C++ IDE) into Eclipse (http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/indigo)
3. add the CDT GNU ARM Toolchain into Eclipse (http://gnuarmeclipse.sourceforge.net/updates)
4. install CodeSourcery into Fedora (arm-2010.09-51-arm-none-eabi.bin ⇒ the latest version didn't work, this one does) (https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/package7815/public/arm-none-eabi/arm-2010.09-51-arm-none-eabi.bin)
5. import the OOBD-Repository (oobd/trunk/interfaces/D2/Firmware_FreeRTOS) into Eclipse (File ⇒ Import ⇒ General ⇒ Existing Projects into Workspace)

Use “Project/Build all” to compile and build. After that a new folder “debug” or “release” (depending on your build settings) should contain the binaries.

What Eclipse files to check in with a new project By Michael Portuesi | Published: November 17, 2010

This info is available elsewhere on the net, but I am including it here because I have to look it up every time and I’m tired of it. Check in

• .project
• .classpath
• .settings Check in these files if you wish to share with the rest of the team:
  • .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs – it contains the settings for the import ordering
  • .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs – it contains the settings for the compiler version

Do not check in

• .metadata It contains a bunch of state information for your Eclipse workspace, which is changing all the time.

When setting up the project on the new machine use File > Import … > General > Existing Project Into Workspace.
