Developer studio is an integrated development environment built on Eclipse™ with tools for coding, debugging, target download, and target monitoring.

It’s recommended that you read the Developer Studio help. Open Developer Studio, go to Help-> Help Contents-> Developer Studio User Guide.

Complete the procedures in this section to install, configure, and run Developer Studio on a dev host.

Run from Bootable USB

If you’re running the bootable USB stick, you'll find a desktop icon that starts Dev Studio. It comes installed and configured ready to use.

A Developer Studio cheat sheet is available from Dev Studio's online help. Choose the Help menu->Cheat Sheets to display guidance for some tasks.

Install on Dev Host

See Developer Studio installation: https://developer.sierrawireless.com/developerstudio

Note: You’ll need to install the IDE for Legato Application Framework feature to develop Legato applications and connect to Legato devices.

Configure Dev Studio toolchain

Legato Linux GCC path has to be configured in Developer Studio so it can build Legato applications. Dev Studio needs to find the arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc compiler. It's done in the Window > Preferences dialog, at Developer Studio > Tools preferences > GCC/GDB paths preferences location.

Here's the path:

/opt/swi/y14-ext/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/armv7a-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

See Install Packages for toolchain installation info.

Configure Legato package

Developer Studio needs the location of the Legato Framework package build directory so it can use it. In the Package Manager perspective, click on the Add Repository button of the Available Packages view. You’ll need to point on the Legato Package directory. Click on Folder and browse to where you copied Legato Application Framework (e.g., /home/mylogin/legato-af-master).

Note: Build the Legato Framework before installing Developer Studio.

As soon as the path is set, Developer Studio will detect the Legato package. Then, you can select it, and click the Install action in order to configure the package.

Use Developer Studio

You can use Developer Studio features like these with Legato applications and devices:

In the Applications perspective, create, develop and build applications.
In the Remote System Explorer perspective, connect and interact with Legato devices.
In the Debug perspective, perform step-by-step debugging sessions in a running Legato application.
