1.0. Introduction
1.1. Purpose
The purpose of this documentation is to explain how to setup a software development environment to
develop application programs for the eH880 / ACR880 system.
The eH880 / ACR880 device is equipped with a 32-bit CPU running the embedded Linux 2.6.12 OS.
For detailed hardware / software capability of the eH880 / ACR880, refer to their respective manuals.
The software development environment consists of a suite of software tools that are typically run on a
PC Linux system. Application software can be developed on the PC Linux and then downloaded to
the eH880 / ACR880 for testing and running.
This document describes the installation of the software tools on the PC Linux system and also the
networking configuration between the PC Linux and the eH880 / ACR880 device.
1.2. Scope and Limitations
This document covers the procedures that interact with the device using the TCP/IP protocol. While
there are virtually thousands of Linux kernels available on open source programming, the
EH880/ACR880 package includes compressed files that are to be integrated to the device.
Hardware restrictions and Linux OS versions are also detailed and while the device firmware itself is
upgradeable, there are limitations on where files should be copied. Folder restrictions as well as some
Linux commands are listed on the succeeding chapters. For this setup the Linux OS that the demo will
be using is Debian with a Gnome desktop, version 2.14.3.

2.0. Overview
• It is assumed that the user has basic knowledge in using computers and operating Linux OS.
• Section 3.0 discusses the Linux OS limitations and requirements as well as the compiler
instructions upon installation.
• Section 4.0 lists the device’s connectivity in both the hardware and software aspects.
• Section 5.0 details the folder restrictions when customizing the files inside the device.
• Appendix A shows the processes in connecting the eH880 to the Ethernet network.
