I'm using a beaglebone black board running "Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone47", which is a Debian distribution. I using "tightvncserver" on BBB and realVNC on windows, to have view a remote desktop of BBB.
I want to install eclipse for developing C/C++ applications on the BBB. So i downloaded the Eclipse for C/C++ developers for linux 32-bit. See image in link: http://i.imgur.com/CV7wYXB.png
When I click the eclipse-"executable" nothing happends.
when I navigate directory and try
Code:
./eclipse
it returns:
Code:
-bash: ./eclipse: cannot execute binary file
I'm new to this whole environment, so please have my excused if my question is too trivial, or not related to his forum..
I am not sure whether a JAVE runtime exists for the ARM platform but would strongly expect there is one.
First thing to do:
- check whether Java runtime is installed:
"java -version"
- if not - get it - make sure you choose the right one. BBB has an ARM processor NOT Intel x86 or AMD64
Dont know if you figured this out yet or not. Thought this would be a good wiki for you to check out. At least help you get the IDE set up properly in case it wasn't
This link should be the download link to: Java SE Development Kit 8 Downloads -> Linux ARM v6/v7 Hard Float ABI
The Linux ARM v8 file is for ARM64 pocessors?
The file I've downloaded is only about 5kB, and i see on my desktop computer, that it is suppose to be somewhenre around 70 MB.
So, just that i have understood this right, when i have downloaded til java DK or RE, i should be able to install eclipse natively on the BeagleBone Black.. Am i doing it wrong?
I took a look at the wiki as well, but i work figure out how i related to my problem?
Thanks again guys!
Okay, I apparently downloaded the file the wrong way. Now I did it with a VNC server and viewer from my desktop. But when I ex extract the tar.gz file, a cannot find an executable file. Did I download the right package?
.. Then click ""Accept License Agreement"".
Now click the link on that page : jdk-8u60-linux-arm32-vfp-hflt.tar.gz
.. And the 77.7 MB package will appear in your "Downloads".
( Attempting to use wget, you just get "nothing".)
So I got java installed, I get this when I run 'java -version':
Quote:
java version "1.8.0_60"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)
When I try to install eclipse, I run './eclipse' in the directory containing eclipse, but the system returns:
Quote:
bash: ./eclipse: cannot execute binary file
I have tried running 'chmod +x eclipse' but his still doesn't allow me to run './eclipse' Do you guys know if it is even possible for me install eclipse natively on a beaglebone, is eclipse made for the ARM architechture?
Thank you very much for your help, it has been very helpfull, even the cheeky link from maba001
