Set Up Intel® IoT Dev Kit Eclipse - Run a Sample Project

This document will guide you through creating and running a Hello Word project (blinking the onboard LED) on the Intel® Edison.

1. Select IoT DevKit > Create C/C++ IoT Project.

   

2. Type a name for your project in the Project name field.

   

3. From the Project list, select On board LED blink C++. Click Next. The SSH Connection page displays.

4. To search for connections and select your board from a list, click Search Target. The Create Target Connection page opens.

   

5. By default, Eclipse searches for boards available via the Bonjour service and displays them in a list. If your board is not displayed in the list, select the Enable broadcast target search check box to widen your search to all devices on your network.

6. From the list, select your board and click OK.

   

   Note: If you already know your board’s connection information, you can type it manually. Do the following:
   * In the Connection Name field, type a name to use for the connection to your board.
   * In the Target Name field, type the IP address or host name of your board.

7. Click Finish. Your project is created.

8. From the Run drop-down list in the toolbar, select the name of your project.

   

9. In the User ID field, type the user name to log in to your board.

10. In the Password field, type the password for your board.

    

11. If a warning message about host authenticity displays, click Yes to upload and run your project.

    

12. Once your project runs, you’ll see an LED blinking on your board, as shown below.

13. Check your Intel® Edison for a blinking light. The LED is located near the center of the board.

    

Congratulations, you just ran your first C++ application!
