For New Projects, a Modernized Toolchain Is Advised Instead
This article explains how to use Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools for NI Linux Real-Time to achieve cross-compiling tasks. This toolset is not actively maintained anymore. It was last updated in 2018 and is currently not advised to be used for new projects.
Instead, NI created extensive documentation for a modernized toolchain, which is easier to learn and utilize. That documentation also provides information on typical steps, like building, deploying, and debugging a shared library. If you are planning to do C/C++ development and are searching for the right toolchain, then visit Getting Started with C/C++ Development for NI Linux Real-Time.
Overview of the Following Eclipse-Based Content
NI myRIO is an embedded hardware device designed specifically to help students design real, complex engineering systems more quickly and affordably than ever before. NI myRIO is based on NI reconfigurable I/O (RIO) technology, which gives you the ability to program both a processor running a real-time OS and a customizable FPGA. In addition to NI LabVIEW software, the NI myRIO processor is fully programmable in C or C++
using the default shipping personality placed on the FPGA . You can only customize the FPGA using the LabVIEW FPGA Module. Follow the steps below to start programming the NI myRIO processor in C.
