Starting Linaro Forge

To start Linaro Forge, type one of the following commands into a terminal window:

forge
forge program_name [arguments]

To start Linaro Forge on Mac OS X, click the Linaro Forge icon or type this command in the terminal window:

open /Applications/Linaro\ Forge/Linaro Forge.app [--args program_name [arguments]]

To launch additional instances of the Linaro Forge application, right-click the Dock icon of a running instance of Linaro Forge, and select Launch a new instance of Linaro Forge.

Alternatively, you can use the following command in a terminal:

open -n /Applications/Linaro\ Forge/Linaro Forge.app [--args program_name [arguments]]

When Linaro Forge starts, the Welcome Page displays, in which you can select the tool you would like to use (Linaro DDT or Linaro MAP). Linaro Performance Reports can be run using the command line. Use the icons on the left-hand side to switch between Linaro MAP and Linaro DDT.

Select the tool you want to use, and click the buttons in the menu to select a debugging or profiling activity.

Note

To pipe input directly to the program, you must operate Linaro Forge in Express Launch mode. For information about how to send input to your program, see Program input and output or Run MAP from the command line.

Note

In Express Launch mode (see Linaro DDT or Linaro MAP), the Welcome Page does not display. Instead, Linaro Forge directly displays the Run dialog. If no valid license is found, the program exits and the appropriate message displays in the console output.
