Wind River has taken a thorough approach in providing a complete development environment for Linux. For a developer familiar with Wind River's VxWorks on Windows, there's a familiarisation exercise to go through, and hopefully this blog can reduce the gradient along that curve. It’s not designed to be a replacement for the documentation that comes with Wind River Linux (WRL), instead offers words of advice, and a guide to getting WRL running on a target.

When developing for an Embedded Linux target it is always desirable to shorten your development cycle. The following article explains about how to use an x86 machine (AMD Duron) as a diskless embedded target and use a virtual machine running Linux to setup this development environment. The virtual machine running Linux listens on TFTP and NFS servers to provide a bootable kernel image and a mounted root file system respectively for the diskless client. The development time is reduced as we need not reinstall the kernel and/or root file system every time on the target. We develop device drivers and kernel code on the host and simply reboot the target to load and test.
