Getting Started with Linux Application Debugging
The ARM DS-5 Altera Edition provides very powerful Linux application debugging capabilities.
This section presents running the ARM DS-5 Altera Edition for the first time, importing, compiling and
running the Hello World Linux example application provided as part of SoC EDS.
Note: This section uses a Linux host computer, as can be seen from the screen shots and the issued
commands. However, the scenario can also be run on a Windows machine, although it is not usual
for Linux development to be done on Windows.

Configuring Linux
For this getting started scenario we need Linux to be running on the target board and be connected to the
local network. The local network has to have a DHCP server that will allocate an IP address to the board.
Eclipse needs an account with a password to be able to connect to the target board. The root account does
not have a password by default, so one needs to be set up.
