Linux Tool Chain Introduction

Linux Tool-Chain contains the necessary libraries and compilers for developing your programs. The UC-8410A

series computers support both native and cross-compiling of code. Native compiling is more straightforward

since all the coding and compilation can be done directly on the UC-8410A-LX, but since you will be constrained

by the UC-8410A’s ARM CPU resources, the compilation speed is slower. On the other hand, cross compiling can

be done on any Linux machine with the correct tool-chain, and the compilation speed is much faster.

Native Compilation

Follow these steps to update the package menu.

1. Make sure network connection is available.

2. Use apt-get update to update the Debian package list.

moxa@Moxa:~$ sudo apt-get update

3. Install the native compiler and necessary packages

moxa@Moxa:~$ sudo apt-get install gcc build-essential flex bison automake
