Table 1.2: Add-on custom packages
After finishing the installation, plug in the ICEbear to complete the driver installation. You can
safely ignore the Windows Certification warnings. Now you can start the programs from the
ICEbear program menu.
Note that your personal firewall (which might be active on your machine) must allow the port
2000 to be accessed locally. If you get a warning when starting gdbproxy, you can safely
unblock it.
For development of standalone or uClinux programs, you may also want to install the Blackfin
cross compiler toolchain for Windows. This can be found as a self installing executable in the
download area of the Blackfin GNU toolchain at http://blackfin.uclinux.org. For compiling the
uClinux kernel, a Linux development PC is required.
