This guide illustrates how to build and run a first ERIKA Enterprise v3 application for Arduino UNO boards.

RT-Druid Eclipse IDE

  • Double-click the eclipse.exe application located in the eclipse folder extracted from the RT-Druid Package. Then, the workspace selection window will appear as shown in the following figure:
Figure 1: RT-Druid Eclipse IDE workspace selection.
  • Browse the file-system to select Workspace folder and then click on the OK button to let the RT-Druid Eclipse IDE start as shown in the following figure:
Figure 2: RT-Druid Eclipse IDE welcome.
  • Click on the Welcome tab-sheet close button to show the default RT-Druid Eclipse IDE C/C++ perspective as shown in the following figure:
Figure 3: RT-Druid Eclipse IDE C/C++ perspective.

RT-Druid Template Project

  • Click on File->New->RT-Druid v3 Oil and C/C++ Project menu entry as shown in the following figure:
Figure 4: RT-Druid v3 Oil and C/C++ Project.
  • The RT-Druid C/C++ Project Wizard will open as shown in the following figure:
Figure 5: RT-Druid C/C++ Project Wizard.
  • Type the name of the project in the Project name text-box (e.g., ArduinoEE3).
  • Make sure the Cygwin GCC toolchain is selected and then click on the Next button.
  • The wizard will show the window to select a project template as shown in the following figure:
Figure 6: RT-Druid Project Template Wizard.
  • Click on Create a project using one of these templates check-box to let the Template Wizard to show the available templates as shown in the following figure:
Figure 7: RT-Druid Available Templates Wizard.
  • Expand the AVR8 and Arduino Uno entries and choose the desired template to instantiate: Full Demo 1 for example.
  • Finally, click on the Finish button to instantiate an RT-Druid Eclipse project from a chosen template as shown in the following figure:
Figure 8: RT-Druid Eclipse Project.

Arduino UNO Serial Port

  • Connect the Arduino UNO board to the PC via a USB cable.
  • Open the Device Management of Windows executing (by Double-Click) the devmgmt.msc command located in C:\WINDOWS\System32 as shown in the following figure:
Figure 9: Device Management.
  • The Device Management window will open.
  • Expand the Port (COM and LTP) entry to find the Arduino Uno COM port (COM3 for example) as shown in the following figure:
Figure 10: Arduino Uno COM port.

RT-Druid Configuration

  • Click on the Window->Preferences menu entry as shown in the following figure:
Figure 11: RT-Druid Eclipse Preferences.
  • The RT-Druid Eclipse Preferences window will open as shown in the following figure:
Figure 12: RT-Druid Eclipse Preferences OIL.
  • Click the Generator Properties entry in the OIL section of the left panel to show the RT-Druid Generator Properties to configure.
  • Double-click on the Arduino SDK property to configure the Arduino SDK installation path as shown in the following figure:
Figure 13: RT-Druid Arduino SDK Path Property.
  • Browse the file-system to select the Arduino SDK path (E.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino) and then click the OK button.
  • Double-click on the Arduino Serial Port property to configure the Arduino Serial Port as shown in the following figure:
Figure 14: RT-Druid Arduino Serial Port Property.
  • Type the COM Port where the Arduino UNO Board is connected (E.g. COM3) and then click OK button.
  • Double-click on the Arduino Serial Baudrate Property to configure the Arduino Serial Baudrate as shown in the following figure:
Figure 15: RT-Druid Arduino Serial Baudrate Property.
  • Type 115200 (the Arduino UNO Bootloader Baudrate) and then click the OK button.
  • Finally, click the OK button to confirm the configuration properties as shown in the following figure:
Figure 16: RT-Druid Configured Properties.

ERIKA distribution clean

  • Right-Click on ArduinoEE3 project into Eclipse Project Explorer panel and click on Clean Erika context-menu entry as shown in the following figure:
Figure 17: Erika Clean.
  • The Clean up Erika Files dialog window will appear as shown in the following figure:
Figure 18: Clean up Erika Files.
  • Click on the Yes button to clean the whole ERIKA distribution.

NOTE: the distribution folder will be automatically regenerated if the flag Build Automatically is enabled.

Figure 19: Build automatically flag.

NOTE: this operation may be necessary every time an ERIKA or RT-Druid configuration property is modified.

ERIKA project build

  • Right-click on ArduinoEE3 project into Eclipse Project Explorer panel and click on Build Project context-menu entry as shown in the following figure:
Figure 20: Erika project build.
  • The build process starts as shown in the following figure:
Figure 21: Erika build process.
  • The build process ends successfully as shown in the following figure:
Figure 22: Erika build successfully.

Add Upload Build Target

  • Right-Click on ArduinoEE3 project into Eclipse Project Explorer panel and click on Create... item of the Build Target context-menu entry, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 23: Add Upload Build Target.
  • The Create Build Target dialog window will appear as shown in the following figure:
Figure 24: Create Build Target.
  • Type upload into Target name text-box, uncheck the Run all project builders check-box and then click on OK button.
  • The upload target will be created as shown in the following figure:
Figure 25: Upload Target.

'NOTE: this operation should be done once for every ERIKA project.

Application Upload on Arduino Board

  • Double-Click on upload build target created in the previous section to start the upload process as shown in the following figure:
Figure 26: Upload Process.
  • The upload process ends successfully as shown in the following figure:
Figure 27: Upload Process.
  • Check the application running on Arduino UNO board connecting a serial terminal as shown in the following figure:
Figure 28: Erika application.
