AVR8 - Arduino application build on Windows

Synopsys

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

RT-Druid Eclipse IDE

• 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:

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 Welcome tab-sheet close button to show the default RT-Druid Eclipe 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 the project in the Project name text-box: ArduinoEE3 for example.

• Make sure the Cygwin GCC toolchain is selected and the 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 AVR8 and Arduino Uno entries and choose a desired template to instatiate: Full Demo 2 for example.

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

Figure 10: Arduino Uno COM port.

RT-Druid Configuration

• Click on 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 th File-System to select the Arduino SDK path (E.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino) and then click 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 OK button.

• Finally, click the OK button to confirm the configuration properties as shown in the followin 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 Yes button to clean the entire Erika distribution.

NOTE: the distribution will be automatically regenerated.

NOTE: this operation may be necessary every time an Erika or RT-Druid configuration property will be modfied.

Erika project build

• Right-Click on ArduinoEE3 project into Eclipse Project Explorer panel and click on Build Progect context-menu entry as shown in the following figure:

Figure 19: Erika project build.

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

Figure 20: Erika build process.

• The bluild process ends successfully as shown in the following figure:
