Introduction

In this document we shall provide a basic overview of how to develop C# .NET applications for ATM on a Windows development machine. The following areas will be covered:

• Configuring the development environment

• Writing a demo console application

• Deploying to ATM

• Debugging

Prerequisites

You will need to download and install the following applications:

...

Xamarin Studio for Windows. This is called MonoDevelop on Linux and to alleviate any incompatibility issues, please download the Windows version from:

• http://www.npackd.org/p/monodevelop/5.10.1.6

• At the time of writing the latest version of Xamarin Studio was incompatible with the pdb2mdb tool required later on so do not allow the IDE to upgrade

We will need the Putty SSH tools for automating some remote tasks such as copying files and running the remote debugger

This documentation provides step-by-step instructions on getting setup for Linux development on Opal-6.  

A strength of Linux is its flexibility.  This can also create confusion for new developers, as it's hard to know exactly where to start and how to achieve something!  

Our goal is to provide a starting point for application development and building a kernel.  There are many, many other tools and options which we have not covered here.

The Opal-6 Linux support is provided via the Yocto framework.  This is based on the software provided by NXP.

The current version of the kernel supported is 4.1.15.

If you are an experienced developer there is no need to follow along with everything - just pick and choose the bits you need, and use the tools you already know.  

Our release page has links to all the latest source and pre-built software you need to work with Opal-6.
