## Chapter 1. Quick Start

This chapter includes a brief checklist to follow when installing and using Sourcery G++ Lite for the first time. You may use this chapter as an abbreviated guide to the rest of this manual.

Sourcery G++ Lite for C6000 uClinux is intended for developers working on embedded uClinux applications. It may also be used for uClinux kernel development and debugging, or to build a uClinux distribution.

Follow the steps given in this chapter to install Sourcery G++ Lite and build and run your first application program. The checklist given here is not a tutorial and does not include detailed instructions for each step; however, it will help guide you to find the instructions and reference information you need to accomplish each step. Note that this checklist is also oriented towards application debugging rather than kernel debugging.

You can find additional details about the components, libraries, and other features included in this version of Sourcery G++ Lite in Chapter 3, “Sourcery G++ Lite for C6000 uClinux”.
