Whilst I don't code for the TS-7260 specifically, I do work TS-7800.

Originally I had purchased the Eclipse Development Pack from EmbeddedARM.com 
but IMHO it is a waste of good $, as it was a Windoze Package and not what I 
thought it would be - a.k.a. for Linux.

I'll assume your running Linux of some distribution favour. Note I am a Java 
non believer or user hence understanding Eclipse packaging was all mumbo-jumbo 
to me initially.

Running Ubuntu 8.10 on a quad core 64bit X86 host; I simply downloaded 
http://www.eclipse.org/ganymede/ and installed. Using the C/C++ development 
tools (release 5.0.2.2009).  I had issues getting the cross compiling/debug 
working correctly (I also have Atmel-AVR 8 & 32 Eclipse development tools 
included in my configuration which may have caused my problems), hence I simply 
use Eclipse in the standard X86 host configuration to develop, build and debug 
C & C++ based linux programs off my X86 host, then having a NFS shared source 
to TS-7800, I simply rebuild using ARM-gcc and gdb debug what I can't do under 
Eclipse because of ARM specific issues.  I run all final developments on the 
TS-7800 which is my target of choose.

Please realise this is not the way of getting Eclipse to do all the required 
work. But as the learning curve was rather steep for my old brain (I got 20++ 
years of CLI Unix work), it is what I stayed with.

Once Eclipse and the ARM port is more mature I will convert 100% over.  If your 
a GUI / Windoze orientated user Eclipse will certainly suit you very well - for 
us CLI geeks it a little too much :)

Hope this assists you.
Cheers. Grahame
