Prerequisites

The following is the list of software that should be already be installed in your system before installing ERIKA v3:

• Java
  • for running Eclipse
• Cygwin
  • for the GNU make tool (and optionally Doxygen)
• Doxygen
  • for the automatic documentation
• target compiler (depending on the architecture)
  • Arduino SDK

Downloading ERIKA v3 and RT-Druid

• RT-Druid can be downloaded using the download web page
• To download RT-Druid, you have to accept the RT-Druid and the ERIKA v3 licenses
  • The ERIKA v3 license is a GPL v2, whereas the RT-druid license is a proprietary license that allows you to use the provided version of RT-Druid at no cost
• Here is possible to find more details about the release scheduling and build numbers of RT-Druid packaging.

Installing RT-Druid

RT-Druid is provided as a compressed archive, which can be unpacked in your user directories. On Windows machines, we typically unpack the tool under C:\Evidence\versionnumber, where 'versionnumber' is the build number.

Starting RT-Druid

• Double-Click on eclipse.exe application located into eclipse folder extracted from the RT-Druid Package and than the workspace selection window will appear as shown the following figure:

RT-Druid Preferences

The RT-Druid code generator and makefiles need to make reference to external directories (e.g., for specifying the compiler path), or other configurations (such as serial port numbers, baud rates, ...).

• Click on Window->Preferences menu entry as shown in the following figure:

Figure 11: RT-Druid Eclipse Preferences.

• ERIKA PREFERENCES

For more details about RT-Druid Configuation, see the RT-Druid configuraiton wiki page.

RT-Druid Project

• Click on File->New->RT-Druid v3 Oil and C/C++ Project menu entry as shown in the following figure:

• Type the name of the the project in the Project name text-box: ArduinoEE3 for example.

• If you are using Windows OS, you should select the Cygwin GCC toolchain, and then click on the Next button.

• The wizard will show the window to select a project template as shown in the following figure:

• As example, expand AVR8 and Arduino Uno entries and choose a desired template to instantiate: Full Demo 2 for example.

• Finally, click on Finish button to instantiate an RT-Druid Eclipse project from a chosen template as shown in the following figure:
