Olmec Workbench
Unlike other embedded SDKs which require you to build a configuration from source, Olmec
allows you to build your configuration from prebuilt binaries. The configuration process
is guided by the Olmec Workbench.
The Olmec Workbench provides a GUI that guides you through the configuration and
constructions steps of building your system. The workbench allows you to easily create
multiple configurations for different needs such as debug vs production, and even
support of multiple hardware platforms.
Configuration Process
The first step allows you to choose the smallest possible set of packages that provides
you with the functionality you need. This step produces a working System Image. Except
for the smallest of target systems, this image can be downloaded to your target, and
your task is complete. Incremental updates can be made to the system image, even when
it has been installed on your device.
The second step is optional, but allows for the creation of even smaller images. These
images are more static and must be rebuilt and reloaded instead of being updated.
