This tutorial demonstrates how to build and debug a simple Cubieboard<\/a> application using Visual Studio. Cubieboard devices are shipped with an Android image in the internal FLASH memory. Alternatively, you can download a Linux image from cubieboard.org<\/a> and program either the internal memory or an SD card.<\/p>\n

For steps on creating a basic Android app, follow the Android tutorial<\/a>. 
\n\t\t\t\tHere we will show how to make a basic app for the Linux image.
\n\t\t\t\tWe will use the Cubieboard2 in this tutorial, however the steps
\n\t\t\t\tbelow are valid for all boards of the same family given that a
\n\t\t\t\tcorrect SD card image is used.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download a Cubieboard Linux image for SD cards (don’t confuse it with images for the internal memory), download WinFLASHTool<\/a> and use it to write the image to the SD card:\"01-flashtool\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Insert the SD card into the board, connect the network cable and the power cable:\"02-cubie\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Start Visual Studio. Create a new Linux project with VisualGDB Project Wizard:\"03-newprj\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Proceed with the default settings on the first page of the wizard:\"04-app\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. On the second page select “Create a new SSH connection”, then enter the host name, user name and the password for your Cubieboard. The default settings are listed below:
    \n\n\n\n\n
    Host name<\/td>\ncubieboard2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    User name<\/td>\nlinaro<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Password<\/td>\nlinaro<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

    \"05-conn\"<\/a><\/li>\n

  6. The simplest way to proceed would be to build the code directly on Cubieboard. This is slower than using a cross-toolchain, but requires fewer setup. Proceed with the default toolchain:\"06-toolchain\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. When you press “Next”, VisualGDB will detect that the image is missing the gdb debugger and will install it automatically:\"07-getgdb\"<\/a>If you encounter 404 errors during the package downloading, ensure that your \/etc\/apt\/sources.list contains the following lines:\n
    deb http:\/\/old-releases.ubuntu.com\/ubuntu\/ quantal main universe\r\ndeb-src http:\/\/old-releases.ubuntu.com\/ubuntu\/ quantal main universe<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  8. By default VisualGDB will keep the source files on your Windows machine and will transfer them to Cubieboard for building. Keep this setting for now:\"08-copycode\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Once you press Finish, your project will be generated. Press Ctrl-Shift-B to build it:\"09-build\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. Press F10 to step into your program. You can now use the normal Visual Studio debugging techniques to debug your program. \"10-debug\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Once you get direct building\/debugging to work, you can switch to using a cross-compiler<\/a> for better performance.<\/p>\n
