Version 2.02 source codes???

GeorgeP

i am setting up to start developing on the firmware... so have a few queries,

Which is the most stable firmware as of now?? is it version 2.02??
Is there any video or walk through in using Eclipse IDE???
for version 2.02 which branches do i find the source code??

For compiling from source, see separate file BuildInstructions.md.

Firmware 2.02 is built with the master branches of the projects. There have been some changes to the master branch of CoreNG since the release of 2.02, but they should not affect the output.

Is it possible to develop the firmware using atmel studio instead of eclipse??? If yes is there any steps to build???

I have always worked with the arduino IDE so this is a major leap for me. I have used atmel studio a bit, not a pro though.

Both Atmel Studio and Eclipse are infinitely better than Arduino IDE for medium to large projects, such as RepRapFirmware. We use Atmel Studio for our projects based on ATTiny processors (Smart Effector, filament monitors, IR sensor). The main issues with using Atmel Studio for building RepRapFirmware are that it runs under Windows only (whereas many open source developers prefer to use Linux), and that all configurations of a project have to use the same processor. Whereas we build RepRapFirmware for SAM3X8E, SAM4E8E, SAM4S8A and SAME70Q21B processors.

If you do try to build RRF under Atmel Studio, you may find that the version of gcc that it includes is too old to compile the code.

@dc42
ok thank you... will keep this in mind for sure.

Trying to make a walk through with all the hurdles in a small doc to help noobs like me around.
