7. Build a Linux OS and Simple Application for the Altera SoC
| Name |
How to build Linux for Macnica Helio SoC evaluation kit |
| Summary |
In this vWorkshop you will learn how to setup and build from scratch a Linux system using the Yocto Project to cold-boot the kernel on the Mpression Helio board. You will also learn how to compile, execute and debug a simple user application in the Linux environment running on the board. This vWorkshop assumes a basic understanding of Linux development and is taught with the software designer in mind.
