This guide illustrates how to build and run a first ERIKA Enterprise v3 application for AWR1642BOOST

• Using the Eclipse environment (this wiki page)
  • OIL File editing integrated in Eclipse
  • No integrated debugger support (you will need CCS v8 or Lauterbach Trace32 (for lauterbach no specific instruction are provided))

Prerequisites

Please remember to install CCS v8 and MMWAVE-SDK 02_01_00_04 to obtain the full functionality described in this tutorial.

Additional information on prerequisites is available at the Quick Start Guide - Prerequisites.

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:

• Type the name of the project in the Project name text-box (e.g., TI_AWR1642_example).

• 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:

ERIKA distribution clean

• Right-Click on TI_AWR1642_example project into Eclipse Project Explorer panel and click on Clean Erika context-menu entry as shown in the following figure:

Figure 16: Erika Clean.

• The Clean up Erika Files dialog window will appear as shown in the following figure:

Figure 17: 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 18: 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 TI_AWR1642_example project into Eclipse Project Explorer panel and click on Build Project context-menu entry as shown in the following figure:

Figure 19: Erika project build.

• The build process starts as shown in the following figure:

• Change the binary parse frpom the default COFF to elf (the highlighted combo box in the following pictures)

• Search the erikaapp.out file inside the RT-Druid project/out folder

• Select Next

• Important check the checkbox Create a Launch Configuration
• Important in the corresponding combo box select Code Compose Studio - Device Debugging
