I've been writing software for various embedded platforms for a long time, MSP430, Echelon, PIC's. In the case of MSP430, the development suite was based on Eclipse. When writing software for PC104 platforms using QNX, the IDE was Momentics, which is eclipse.
The assumption always seems to be that you are talking to someone who hasn't coded much before, I'm 44. I've been coding professionally since 1985. I can follow instructions as well as the next person, unfortunatley a lot of the information online is incomplete or the guides are lacking.
