Setting Up Eclipse For the new Firmware

jml

I'm trying to set up eclipse so I can edit the most recent firmware. I got to a point where there were no errors/problems (prior to building).

Then I wanted to build CoreNG. The first error is:
arm-none-eabi-g++: error: unrecognized command line option '-std=gnu++14'

I can't find what the problem is exactly. Any suggestions?

I suspect that the version of arm-none-eabi-g++ you are using is too old. See the BuildInstructions file for the correct version.

jml

Oops, I skipped the "brew cask install gcc-arm-embedded" instruction because i thought I had done that in the previous buildinstructions months ago. doing it now

jml

@dc42 Maybe this is a stupid question: Do i need to do "brew cask install eclipse-cpp" if I have already installed eclipse a different way?

jml

When I right click the CoreNG, then Build Configurations, Set Active should be set to SAM4E8E, right? And for right-clicking RepRapFirmware-2.01 folder ... Set Active should be Duet2_RTOS ?

jml

The brew cask install gcc-arm-embedded fixed the error. The new error is:
/Users/John/eclipse-workspace4/RepRapFirmware-2.01/src/RTOSIface.h:19:11: fatal error: FreeRTOS.h: No such file or directory

I searched my computer for that FreeRTOS.h file. Its nowhere to be found.

@jml I think you are missing https://github.com/dc42/FreeRTOS
I think this is not yet part of the build instructions, @dc42?

jml

The brew cask install eclipse-cpp fixed the error... maybe FreeRTOS.h is included with Eclipse CPP.

CoreNG builds correctly like before, and RepRapFirmware gets this new error when building:

/Users/John/eclipse-workspace5/RepRapFirmware-2.01/src/ReprapFirmware.h:129:2: error: 'coreDelay' was not declared in this scope

and it repeats several times. Other errors:
make: *** [src/Tools/Filament.o] Error 1
make: *** [src/Storage/FileStore.o] Error 1
make: *** [src/Storage/FileInfoParser.o] Error 1
make: *** [src/Tools/Tool.o] Error 1
In file included from ../src/StepperDrivers/TMC22xx/TMC22xx.cpp:8:0:

jml

Oops nevermind, the FreeRTOS problem is still there.

I've downloaded the zip file in the FreeRTOS link you gave. What do I do with it?

Your help is much appreciated!

jml

And in addition to FreeRTOS missing from BuildInstructions, are any of these also required?

DuetIAP
LwipESP8266
CoreESP8266
CoreDuet

@jml Hi, in the FreeRTOS github is a .cproject file, so the files are complete project files for Eclipse. Unpack the zip and import them in Eclipse.

In the comment for .cproject stands that is compiled for 2018-q2-update, so you should use the gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2-... release.

(coreDelay comment delected, see below)

@jml
I think you should follow
https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/BuildInstructions.md
This should be sufficient to make a basic build.

JoergS5

@jml

you asked for DuetIAP
LwipESP8266
CoreESP8266
CoreDuet

Most of them are old or have 1.21 version as a comment. I suspect that they are not needed.

When you build the projects, eclipse tells you which libraries or links are missing,

Good luck and please tell me where you get stuck.

I think the reason is;
You did not rename the project to RepRapFirmware, so some hardcoded links will not work:

Step 4: Then rename folder ReprapFirmware-dev in that folder to RepRapFirmware.

Error 1 in make is that the tool cannot find the file, this makes sense.

I confirm that, the up to date build instructions are the ones in the dev branch, not v2-dev.

jml

I was looking at the BuildInstructions.md within the RepRapFirmware-2.01 folder, but I will follow the ones at the link sent in the above comments and will report back.

The BuildInstructions say to keep the folder names as-is. The folder name as-is is RepRapFirmware-2.01, but I feel like I should change it to just RepRapFirmware... is that right?

jml

Making progress. Using the proper Build Instructions this time. But now the first error that comes up (when building RepRapFirmware) is:

In file included from ../src/Networking/ESP8266WiFi/WiFiInterface.cpp:9:0:
../src/Networking/ESP8266WiFi/WiFiInterface.h:16:10: fatal error: MessageFormats.h: No such file or directory
#include "MessageFormats.h"
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

But MessageFormats.h exists in the /Users/John/eclipse-workspace7/DuetWiFiSocketServer/src/include

So I feel like it just can't see the socketserver folder. How do I link it or include it? CoreNG and FreeRTOS built fine by the way.

JoergS5

@jml
WifiInterface.cpp I would try setting the reference by rclick on the project, properties, project references:
But your project workspace is in another one than in the other message (workspace7, workspace5), I would put all Duet related projects into one workspace.
This is not needed.

jml

@joergs5 When I go to Project References for RepRapFirmware, I see only CoreNG, and FreeRTOS. DuetWiFiSocketServer is not there. Do I need to import DuetWiFiSocketServer into Eclipse?

The reason I have different workspaces is because each time I try something new, I just start a new workspace and put in the original CoreNG, FreeRTOS, RRF, and socketserver folders into it. Reason for that is because I don't know if the things that I try mess up anything, so I like to start from scratch with a new workspace.

JoergS5

@jml I understand, this is totally ok, I do it the same way.

JoergS5

@jml your question for DuetWiFi..: you should copy the DuetWiFi... files into the newest workspace you use, import it without the option to move the files (they are already in your new workspace), then it will show up in the build properties list and you can click it. Maybe you have to restart/rebuild all Eclipse, if it is not in the list.
this is not needed, and from DuetWifi you only need one .h file. See below

jml

That is exactly what I think I have been doing. Perhaps my importing is not right.

Option#1: This is what I would normally do. I would right click in the Navigator and select Import. Then I would select General > Existing Projects, and I'd select CoreNG and it would import. Then I would repeat for FreeRTOS and RepRapFirmware.

Option#2: File > Open Projects From File System. Select only CoreNG, FreeRTOS, and RepRapFirmware (and not selecting the socketserver one).

Using both options above, I still only get CoreNG and FreeRTOS in the project references for RepRapFirmware. The only way I can get the socket server one there is if I import it as a project, but then that causes a bunch of other errors.

I right click CoreNG to set active to SAM4E. For RRF I set active to Duet2_RTOS. This part should be fine I think.

JoergS5

@joergs5 I had problems updating the list of dependencies. Fastest way to resolve it, copy all necessary projects into a new workspace, then after setting the new workspace import them in one step (without file move), then it will all show up in the list.
this is not needed, see below

JoergS5

@jml my importing procedure is:

copy files unzipped into the workspace
open eclipse, say file - import - general/existing projects into workspace - next
select root directory: select the workspace
select all project - finish

jml

I will do it that way next time i create a new workspace. For now, I will just import DuetWiFiSocketServer. Here is how it went.

When I import DuetWiFiSocketServer, and right click it, and go to Properties, C/C++ Build, Settings, the path there is:
C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\tools\xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc\1.20.0-26-gb404fb9-2\bin

I assume this should be changed (I'm on a Mac), but not sure to what. I put it as /usr/local/bin/ not sure if thats correct. I was able to select the checkbox for DuetWiFiSocketServer in the settings for RepRapFirmware by the way.

I checked /Users/John/Library/Arduino15/packages , but the only folder in there is a folder called "arduino"

The error I get when building RRF (after building coreng and freertos) is:

In file included from ../src/Networking/ESP8266WiFi/WiFiInterface.cpp:9:0:
../src/Networking/ESP8266WiFi/WiFiInterface.h:128:22: error: 'NumWiFiTcpSockets' was not declared in this scope
WiFiSocket *sockets[NumWiFiTcpSockets];

Not sure if I am making progress now. Time to go to sleep.
