Compiling/Building PanelDue Firmware

[jay_s_uk]

@R006 I know the QOI stuff is a submodule of the git repo and needs to be initialized correctly

You must run two commands: git submodule init to initialize your local configuration file, and git submodule update to fetch all the data from that project and check out the appropriate commit listed in your superproject:

@jay_s_uk it's not working.

[jay_s_uk]

@R006 in what way isn't it working?

[R006]

@jay_s_uk giving same error
nd plzz explain me how to build it in simple terms.

[dc42]

@R006 it build for me, using the master branch of PanelDueFirmware and Eclipse. Tol fix the errors relating to including file "qoi.h" you need to pull in the qoi library source files like this:

• Open a command prompt
• cd to the lib/qoi folder within the project
• Run the two git commands that @jay_s_uk listed in his reply

To fix the errors relating to <General/FreelistManager.h> you need to add the RRFLibraries project to your workspace.

[R006]

@dc42 thank you for reply.
but it give the fatal error: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
and already add in workspace. but giving errors:

Any Suggestions? @jay_s_uk

@R006 check the readme file in the repo.

https://github.com/Duet3D/PanelDueFirmware/blob/master/Readme.md#setup-repository

[R006]

@dc42 qoi.h error resolved by adding that file into that particular folder.
but now freelistManagment.h file giving error.
I am building RRF 3.4.4.

so any suggestions? i am waiting your reply.

@R006 which version of RRFLibraries do you have in your workspace?

[R006]

@dc42 RRFLibraries 3.4.4 version

[dc42]

@R006 I have PanelDueFirmware master and RRFLibraries master in my PanelDue build workspace, and it builds for me. It sounds to me that you may be using RRFLibraries 3.4-dev branch.

[R006]

@dc42 hi, sorry for late reply.
i am build panel FM as per you mentioned but when i am flashing it's paneldue screen was blank.

and getting this error:Generating binary
"/arm-none-eabi-objcopy" -O binary "C:\Users\rishita.butala\eclipse-workspace\Firmware\PanelDueFirmware\Release-7.0/PanelDueFirmware-v2-7.0.elf" "C:\Users\rishita.butala\eclipse-workspace\Firmware\PanelDueFirmware\Release-7.0/PanelDueFirmware-v2-7.0.bin" && cat "C:/Users/rishita.butala/eclipse-workspace/Firmware/PanelDueFirmware/Release-7.0/PanelDueFirmware-v2-7.0.bin" "C:/Users/rishita.butala/eclipse-workspace/Firmware/PanelDueFirmware/SplashScreens/SplashScreen-Duet3D-800x480.bin" >"C:/Users/rishita.butala/eclipse-workspace/Firmware/PanelDueFirmware/Release-7.0/PanelDueFirmware-v2-7.0-logo.bin"

but i am go through this topic:https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/22876/solved-paneldue-firmware-compile-error/10
and try to generating .bin file so .bin file was generated. but it's blank.

i am waiting for your reply @dc42
Any Suggestions? @jay_s_uk

@dc42 i am waiting for your reply

@R006 looks like you haven't defined variable ArmGccPath in Window->Preferences->C/C++->Build->Build Variables. It need to be defined as the path to the folder where the C++ compiler and related tools (including arm-none-eabi-objcopy) live. This is what mine is set to, although a more recent version of the compiler than that should also work.

[R006]

@dc42 it's already defined.

[dc42]

@R006

If you look at the Command box in the above image, you can see that it tries to invoke "${ArmGccPath}/arm-none-eabi-objcopy". As it's trying to invoke"/arm-none-eabi-objcopy" according to the error message you posted, there must be something wrong with your definition of that build variable, or else the post build step command line in your system doesn't match mine.

[R006]

@dc42
Post-build steps in my eclipse.
"${ArmGccPath}/arm-none-eabi-objcopy" -O binary "${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/${ConfigName}}/${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.elf" "${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/${ConfigName}}/${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin" && cat "${ProjDirPath}/${ConfigName}/${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin" "${ProjDirPath}/SplashScreens/SplashScreen-Duet3D-800x480.bin" >"${ProjDirPath}/${ConfigName}/${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}-logo.bin"

[dc42]

@R006 and how have you set ArmGccPath ?

[R006]

@dc42 ArmGccPath is C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain\10 2020-q4-major\bin

[dc42]

@R006 and is file arm-none-eabi-objcopy.exe in that folder?
