Is this cross development environment possible?

Hi, All,
I'm trying to configure my cross development environment as the
following combination. But I'm not sure that is it possible?

Eclipse + CDT runs on Windows platform, the cross tool chain run on
Virtual PC (or VMware), and Samba is used to share files between
Windows and Linux. The chip on target board is MIPS, and target system
can mount file system that provided by NFS on the Virtual PC.
Can I compile and debug on the Eclipse? If it is possible, could you
give me some suggestion to configure the eclipse?

Best regards,

Tony

VPC is horrible, and offers no real support for USB. VMWare can
support most, but not all, USB emulators and IDEs.

I can't advise you on the other items, but USB support for your
particular emulator (JTAG/debug interface) needs to be an early
consideration. It can save you hours of lost time to discover up front
if it can work.

Samba is fine, but I often use FTP for copying a couple small files.
That saves me the hassle of setting up Samba.
