Errors met wile using RT-Druid for a Tricode Demo!

[findfrienda]

Dear all, I met a problem that I try find the reason, but without result. So, list here and ask for help!

When I create a demo based on Tricore.

1.Problem description:
I wrote a demo with RT-Druid, everything is ok, and I set the Cygwn path and other Environment Variables. The code generation step is ok but when I compile the generated codes, errors occured. Also, I read the wiki page Nicola and Paolo provided, but I still fix the problem. So ,list here,maybe it's useful for other friends.

2.My Environment:
1). PC Environment: Windows XP;
2). Cygwin Path: C:\Cygwin
3). Erika Codes Path: C:\ERIKA\ee_base
4). RT-Druid Path: C:\ERIKA\EE_RT-Druid-2.0.0-juno-win32
5). Tricore's toolchains:C:\TriCoreTools\HIGHTEC\TRICORE\bin

3.Steps to create the demo with RT-Druid:
1).Create a new Project: File|New|RT-Druid Oil and C/C++ Project
2).Name and choose toolchain: Toolchains choose "-- Other Toolchain --"
3).Using templates: -tricore|base|Isr

4.Set Project Properities:
1).Set "Erika Files Location":
Windows|Preferences|Erika Files Location;
Enable project specific settings|Manual: C:\ERIKA\ee_base
2).Set "Cygwin paths":
Windows|Preferences|RT-Druid|Cygwin paths: C:\Cygwin

5.Compiling:
When I compile, the code can be generated successfuly; But, the compiling occured a error as the following info displayed in the console:

Code: Select all

Can someone give some help?

If a step-by-step example to build a app, my god, it'll be very,very... exciting!!!!!

Thanks!

Hi,

please, can you post the code of the generated makefile related to the definition of EEEBASE?
You should have, at least, something like:

Code: Select all

EEBASE := $(shell cygpath `cygpath -ms 'C:\RT-Druid\plugins\com.eu.evidence.ee_2.0.0.20121116_2002\ee_files'`)

Please note that the code generated by latest versions of RT-Druid should check against empty values of ERIKA_FILES.

You can check the version of your plugins through eclipse interface (help->info) or directly looking at the name of plugins inside eclipse/plugin folder.
The last stable version is 2.0.0.20121108.
This wiki page http://erika.tuxfamily.org/wiki/index.p ... d_RT-Druid provides few hints about how update RT-Druid/Erika plugins.

Regards,
Nicola

Thans Nicola,
Just now I update the RT-Druid with the link you provided. The current version is :2.0.0.20121108_2010

Here is the contents of the makefile:

Thanks for your help!!!!!

It seems you are calling the make.exe provided by highTec, and not the Cygwin makefile.

The makefile produced by RT-Druid is meant to be used under cygwin. Plea<se check your environment variables...

While, in the Project Property 's window, I changd the toochain and Current builder in the Tool Chain Editor as below:
Current toolchain : Cywin GCC
Current builder: Gnu Make Builder

When I build the project, the console output is:

Code: Select all

19:23:46 **** Incremental Build of configuration Default for project TestNew ****
Info: Configuration "Default" uses tool-chain "Cygwin GCC" that is unsupported on this system, attempting to build anyway.

So, I was doubted: We can't compile Tricore project under RT-Druid on windows PC?

....

[findfrienda]

Is our Erika and RT-Druid still in developing and improving?

If yes, I wantta join this team. Last week I tried the IRC, but it faild: can't connect to server.

Is there mail list or some other communication tool? :)

Maybe our RT-Druid needs improvement. When I use the FreeRTOS, there is little difficuly to port the os on Tricode and its demo are ok! :)

[paolo.gai]

Hi!

ERIKA is in continuous development, just look at the SVN logs... We also just obtained the OSEK/VDX certification... You are welcome to join the development effort, and if you want you can send patches... (over time you can also get the SVNaccess...)

The community gets free support on the Forum, where we try to answer the questions which arrive as best as we can (like we did with you...). On the other hand, many companies directly buy the supports from companies (it happened with Evidence, but also with other companies such as Pebble Bay).

The Tricore port has been contributed by Univ. of Dortmund some time ago, and it stayed there. As long as I know everything should compile fine, but we'll be able to check it again in 1-2 days. The regression tests we currently perform in Evidence does not include yet the Tricore platform.

Ciao,

PJ

[findfrienda]

Thanaks!

I asked some other developers who have experience on Erika about the RT-Druid, they said, they didn't use it because it's not easy to use.
Now, Erika is the only OSEK certified free rtos.

So, I wish Erika becomes more and more stronger and RT-Druid becomes more easier to use!!! :)

[paolo.gai]

Hi!

Yes, It's true we are currently the only open-source OSEK/VDX kernel available

About the difficulty to use it. I agree that in some situations it's not easy to use, but we always thought it was due to the OIL file, which is not common in other open-source systems.

IOn any case we are trying to improve as much as we can...

PJ

[paolo.gai]

Hi,

I can confirm that the Tricore porting is no more compiling. The Tricore porting was donated by university of Dortmund, but due to the lack of the compiler license in Evidence we have never been able to prepare the regression tests described in the Wiki.

For that reason, as the code evolved a lot during the last months, it is likely that the compilation broke (but noone reported it so far). We are likely going to fix everything likely just after the Christmas break.

PJ

[findfrienda]

Thanks!

Now, I have abandon the RT-Druid, and try to running the demo manually! :)

I spend 3 days on how to use the RT-Druid, but not successfully...

[paolo.gai]

Hi,

We fixed back teh compilation of the basic examples for Tricore. You can find them in the latest plugins (the ones you install using the automatic Eclipse updates).

Cheers,

PJ
