[Avr-eclipse-user] Help setting up Eclipse AVR for C++ Programming

[bobby <arc...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am following these instructions: http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/Eclipse

When I get to this:
GNU make "C:\path-to-arduino\hardware\tools\avr\utils\bin"

I am unable to locate the "utils" directory.  I cannot proceed until I
define this last path.

How do I resolve this?

Re: [Avr-eclipse-user] Working version ("beta")

[Jon E. <li...@dr...>]

A bit late, but just wanted to say thanks for this.

Have taken advantage of an eclipse upgrade to install your plugin fork 
as well. The original was mostly working well enough for my uses, but is 
nice to know there is still some ongoing development for avr-eclipse!

Regards,
Jon

[Avr-eclipse-user] Working version ("beta")

[Michael L. <mn...@mn...>]

Hi,

there is a working (at least for my use cases) fork at
https://github.com/mnlipp/avr-eclipse-fork. See the README there for
details. For an unknown time, an update site is available at
http://lipp.eit.h-da.de/de.innot.avreclipse-updatesite/. I update this
site only for distributing the plugins to my test machines, so don't
consider it properly maintained.

You could call the current status a "beta". Everything seems to work,
but I'm still playing around. My focus is to get things working for a
student's lab in the upcoming semester, but as my time allows I'm also
willing to do some fixes that affect only others, provided that they are
reported in such a way that I can reproduce them (please use
https://github.com/mnlipp/avr-eclipse-fork/issues for reporting issues).

[Avr-eclipse-user] OpenSuse 13.2 with eclipse Luna (4.4.1) with AVR eclipse plugin 2.4.1

[Marcel R. <mr...@ma...>]

Hi,

some features seem broken, others seem to work for eclipse Luna (4.4.1) with AVR eclipse plugin 2.4.1

Is there a chance for an update of this plugin?

I would put a donation of 100€ as a start for crowd funding if this
convinces the maintainer (who is it?) to update the plugin.

eg opening the Target editor gives this stack trace:

[Avr-eclipse-user] Status of avr-eclipse

[Adam D. <ad...@tl...>]

Hello,

I would like to ask what is the status of avr-eclipse plugin. Is the 
development ceased? I really like the plugin, but I have some stability 
problems with Eclipse 4.2 (some NPEs) and wondering if there is any new 
release on the way...

Regards,
Adam

[Avr-eclipse-user] Debugging Atmega1284P Linux Indigo fails

[Marcel R. <mr...@ma...>]

Hi,

I have on a OpenSuse 12.3 and eclipse  Juno Service Release 2.
The eclipse AVR plugin is running fine:
I can compile and deploy via eclipse (via avrdude).

I can also debug on command line with:
  /usr/local/bin/avarice -2 --ignore-intr -d -B 500000 -j usb :4242
  ddd --debugger "avr-gdb -x gdb.conf"

I have now several hours tried to get the eclipse based debugging to run
with all variants from http://avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Debugging

-> I had started above avarice command on xterm
-> And tried the variants

None variant ever connected to tcp/ip 4242 of avarice.

What could be the reason?

Thanks
Marcel

[Avr-eclipse-user] Header files not found in referenced project

[Art K. <art...@gm...>]

(Originally posted on the SF forum, but that's not very active.)

I'm not clear whether this is an avr-eclipse issue or a CDT issue.

I'm running avr-eclipse 2.4.0.201203041437 in the Helios CDT (build 
20100617-1415) on Win 7 64-bit. I have WinAVR-20100110 installed.

Two projects, call them A and B. A has a set of header files that I want 
to reference in B. I've tried several combinations of specifying A as a 
project and as a directory in B->Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and 
Symbols->Includes and I've also tried both as a path and as a project 
reference in B->Preferences->C/C++ Build->Settings->AVR C 
Compiler->Directories and B->Preferences->C/C++ Build->Settings->AVR C++ 
Compiler->Directories.

No matter what I do, project B is not seeing the header files. In the 
Project Explorer->B->Includes twistie, A shows up (with a project icon) 
but has no contents (the WinAVR include directory shows up just fine.) 
Building B fails with missing header files.

So, how do I get it to recognize these header files?

[Avr-eclipse-user] c++ and linker option "m"

[Elmar F. <el...@cl...>]

Hello,

I try to compile a library who use the math library.
I create a new c++ project and include the math library.
Now I get some error and I include the option "m" to the
linker library dialog. The errors are the same. Now I
include the path "C:\WinAVR\avr\lib" to the linker options
and I get no errors but the program hangs on the part who
I call the function witch uses the math library.

Could anybody help me?

kind regards

[Avr-eclipse-user] Individual build settings with AVR plugin

[Volker K. <lis...@pa...>]

I installed eclipse 4.2 (juno) and the latest avr plugin (version 4?)
for testing. The AVR project seems to have been correctly initialised,
however when I turned on "enable individual settings for build
configurations" things turned to custard. Setting the programmer for the
current build configuration was possible, but clicking on OK didn't save
anything. Trying to build anything resulted in an error about illegal
settings. Going back into the AVR settings and to the pogrammer tab
showed a blank field for the programmer selection. Selecting a
programmer again and clicking OK still didn't save the setting. I had to
change something drastically different (but don't remember what) before
the new settings were actually saved.

There were similar problems with eclipse 3.7 and the avr plugin from
around August 2011.

Is this a problem with the avr plugin, or perhaps with CDT?

Thanks,

Volker

Re: [Avr-eclipse-user] Updated AVR plug-in causing major problems

[Jim G <jgg...@ya...>]

I see now that this list is pretty inactive.  But for the record, I was 
never able to get the 2.4 version of the plug-in to work correctly with 
Helios.  Downgraded to the 2.3.4 AVR plug in and everything works again.

Subject: [Avr-eclipse-user] Updated AVR plug-in causing major problems
 

Hello, all.

I have done a few searches before posting here but was unable to find a solution to my problem.

After a few years of successfully using the AVR plug-in with Helios, I performed an update and installed the current AVR plug-in.  Nothing has worked since then.

When trying to build a project that I created prior to the update, I get this message:
make: *** No rule to make target `HTShield', needed by `all'.  Stop.

I also see this error message under Tool Chain Editor in the C/C++ Build options tab (Release configuration is set active)

Orphaned configuration. No base extension cfg exists for de.innot.avreclipse.configuration.app.release.962934954

When I create a new project and try and build it, I get this message:
make all 
Building file: C:/Documents and Settings/Jim/My Documents/AVRcode/AVR-source/HTShield/main.c
Invoking: AVR Compiler
make: write error


Lastly, the avr include directory is not being automatically created as it used to be.  I can manually add the appropriate WinAVR directory, but new projects automatically had this set up prior to the update.

I'm not sure where I went wrong because the plug-in was working wonderfully before I did the update!


Windows XP, WinAVR-20100110, Helios.

Thanks in advance.

Jim

Re: [Avr-eclipse-user] No source code when debugging using JTAG

[Lukáš Z. <luk...@gm...>]

Hi,
I gave it a look and few minutes of stepping into it and found out that
Registry view is created in the very strange fashion which practically
disallow any add-ons while it is hardcoded and not loaded from
contributions as one would expect from Eclipse Plugin. (My humble
opinion after very short examination).
But I checked how the register data and memory view data are gathered
from the gdb interface and it shouldn't be too hard to use. I will
probably hack the AVR Device Explorer view to reflect selected project
MCU and add once column with value. It seems to be the easiest place to
plug into because there already is a list of registers, its addresses.
Special view can be created later which could cover general purpose
register as well and it would be replacement of the current Registers view.

If anyone has some idea please share. I am happy to create something
what could be useful for the community but I don't have many
opportunities to do so. I will enjoy this one :)

Best Regards

LZ

Hi Lukas,

I think an IO / register view would be a great feature to add. I looked 
into it myself once, but found the Eclipse plugin learning curve too steep!

Re: [Avr-eclipse-user] No source code when debugging using JTAG

[Lukáš Z. <luk...@gm...>]

Hi Thomas,
thank you for your reply. It was more than helpful.
I had "Load image" checked but not "Load symbols" in the latest
configuration saved when I went strictly by procedures recommended in
the tutorial here
http://avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Debugging#GDB_Hardware_Debugging
. I would swear that I tried this settings you sent before with no luck.

I suspect one more problem although I am not able to reproduce it and
prove. On the main page in the default (of Indigo Eclipse) in the
section "Build (if required) ... " Select configuration using C/C++
Application is checked together with use workspace settings.

Because I was always building Release builds I suspect Eclipse to create
the Release build automatically when needed and release wouldn't contain
debugging options. I came to this idea because after I checked load
symbols first time it didn't help. I saw in the console something like
"Cannot load symbols, no symbols found in xxxxx.elf" if I remember
right. After that I tried to change settings on the main page to
automatic build of Debug and it started working as a charm. But now when
I turn the main page to the original state it keeps working just fine.
This is just the feeling with no real proof and I may be totally off ;)

Anyway I would like to thank you again for the help. No I am able to
debug in C and I am finally free from the AVR Studio :)

There is one more thing in my head:
In the registers view in the debug perspective there is only one section
"General Registers". I wonder if it is possible to show there
(optionally perhaps) other important registers (not really registers but
IO memory) as shown in AVR studio or VMLAB. It would be more than useful
I guess.
While I am much better in developing plugins for Eclipse than in AVR C
development ;) I would like to offer my help creating this feature if
possible. (Off the top of my head -> reuse backend of Memory window, use
definitions for specific MCUs to search for addresses to read and to
translate the loaded data into some human readable output possibly even
with "translations" of applied values like "UART - 9,6k no parity,
....."). I like this feature in the VMLAB but there are obsolete
definitions and it is simulation only.

If you think this is something worth exploring, just let me know and I
will try look into it.

Thanks again

Best regards

Lukas Zaruba

Re: [Avr-eclipse-user] No source code when debugging using JTAG

[Thomas H. <th...@in...>]

Hello Lukás(,

sorry for the late reply, but I was busy the last few days.

With regard to your problem: Do you have the "Load symbols" flag set on 
the "Startup" Tab in the debug lauch configuration?



If you do not have a "Startup" tab, then you need to install the "C/C++ 
GDB Hardware Debugging" plugin. It is an optional part of CDT and it 
seems that with Eclipse Indigo you must have this installed to do JTAG 
debugging.

[Avr-eclipse-user] No source code when debugging using JTAG

[Lukáš Z. <luk...@gm...>]

Hi,

first I would like to thank all the people who are involved in the
development and community around the avr-eclipse. You have done a great
job porting AVR development to Linux world and this is very important to
me. :)

And here comes my question:

I set up avr-eclipse plugin 2.3.4.20100807PRD into Eclipse Indigo
release  20110615-0604 on Linux Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit
Everything seems to be working fine except JTAG debugging. I manually
start avarice server through the JTAG connection to the device
(ATmega32) using JTAG mk I cable clone - works perfectly on windows
using AVR Studio 4. Connection seems to be ok, signature loaded and
waiting for connections.

I prepared debugging configuration using avr-gdb settings from the wiki
page (slightly changed due to different wizards in indigo but
semantically should be the same). Set breakpoint at is set to "main".

When I start debugging, eclipse is properly connected to the avarice,
which communicates with AVR. Code doesn't break at main but runs. When I
break it, I can read registers, explore the memory and see the break
point in the disassembler window.

The problem:

I cannot see any code in the code window, just address into the program
memory. It corresponds correctly with the content of the disassembler
window. When I switch the debugging into the instruction mode, stepping
works fine. But in the disassembler window, code is not included, just
instructions. (in the screenshot on the wiki there are lines of code
included).

I suspected wrong settings of the source tab of the debug wizard, but my
simple testing program is located in the root folder of the project and
this folder cannot be added to the source lookup paths.

Code is compiled with -g3 switch set in the tool chain.

Do please anybody have an idea why this happens?
Can it be related to the version of the Eclipse?
Some bad settings?
Can it be related to the location of the source file being in the root
of project?

I just don't know and I spent few days testing variety of different
settings. I still suspect some wrong connection between the code and the
runtime position in the program memory because of wrong settings of the
project (or compiler).
I don't know if it is of any significance but debugging of the C code
for PC machine in the same Eclipse and workspace works fine.

Thank you for reading this long thing and also thanks for any answer.

Best

Initial Comment:
on eclipse install i got java, however needed atmel avr. The install wizard has no entries for eclipse supported providers. I tried to create one but could not make it work. Attempts to install a downloaded version from disk weren't acepted either, instead the menus only left me to enter an internet address which i could not get right.

The plugin should work just fine with Ubuntu 11.10 (which I tested).

Currently the AVR Eclipse plugin does not support the AT32UC3L064 or the AT32UC3A3256 or other UC3 processors even though the latest avr-gcc compiler from AVR does.

Nathan,

while I agree that AVR32 support would be nice, especially since Atmel
discontinued their Eclipse based AVR32 IDE, it is not something of a
priority for me.

 I will continue to add hooks in the plugin for integrating toolchains
other than the AVR8 series, but unless someone sponsors me I am afraid that
I won't be able to add any AVR32 support myself as I do not use these
MCUs.

Re: [Avr-eclipse-user] AVR eclipse nighlty

[Thomas H. <th...@in...>]

Volker,

I've added a new feature to the plugin for you to disable the path 
management. It seems to work, but I would appreciate if you'd give it a 
try as well before I release it.
The button to disable the path management can be found on the AVR -> 
Paths preference page.

I have attached it to this mail, but I think sourceforge lists do not 
allow attachments, so if it is not there then send me (th...@in...) 
your email address and I will forward it to you.

BTW, I am working on a much improved path management, where the plugin 
will support any number of toolchains concurrently and where they can be 
selected on a project or even on a build configuration basis. The GUI is 
basically done, but rewriting the internal management code will take 
some more effort.

Cheers,

Thomas

Yes just now, and it's not good.

It is possible to beat eclipse mostly into submission by starting with a
very limited $PATH (env .../4.6.2/bin:/bin:/usr/bin eclipse). Those
avr-gcc preferences are then changed to (in my case)
/opt/cross/avr/lib64/gcc/avr/4.6.2/bin, still with path source "system".
Ok so far.

Starting eclipse normally again with the usual $PATH does not however
change that setting back, otherwise the feature would be of no use. That
4.6.2/bin is not in the normal $PATH.

And eclipse is being smart-arse here too, one can't set a path here of
/nowhere, or something that's already in, like /bin.

Ok, that explains what I've been seeing.

Yes, but I have a script for that, run-avr-gcc-462 which prepends the
versioned bin directory to $PATH before doing an exec. That script is
needed for running the Arduino IDE, with which neither the compiler name
nor the PATH can be adjusted. Adjusting the compiler name would be a
nightmare anyway (too many executables), and I sure don't want to
remember or type "/opt/cross/avr/lib64/gcc/avr/4.6.2/bin" all the time.

Sorry, from my point of view I give this feature a pain-for-no-gain
rating... :-(

Perhaps it's possible to set up a toolchain for each gcc version here.

Thanks, will do.

Have you tried to change the path to "avr-gcc" in the Eclipse 
Preferences? (Preferences -> AVR -> Paths)

The Plugin prepends the path to "avr-gcc" and the path to "make", in 
that order, to the system path.
This is mainly for Windows, as both executables are not necessarily on 
the System path and especially with 'make' there might be non-gnu 
versions of make in the path, causing confusion for newbies.

But this is also useful on Linux for changing to a different Toolchain 
not located in the system path, something I think you are trying to do.

Haven't seen that effect before. Could you please copy and paste the 
content of the console window? Maybe I can decipher whats happening on 
your system.

I forgot to say that when running make with the same PATH directly from
the command line, in the eclipse project directory, everything works
fine. It's eclipse messing it up, not a faulty environment.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks muchly for this plugin. I updated this beta over top of the
previous one, and compiling avr programs still works. Well on openSUSE
11.4 64bit anyway.

What I am having trouble with is something in eclipse messing with $PATH
and with build output if the paths are not exactly standard. That is
starting eclipse with 
  env /some/bin:$PATH eclipse

/some/bin contains only a different version of avr-gcc.
Two things happen here:

1) eclipse tends to prep-end other paths, like /usr/bin, in the very
front again. I haven't yet found how to kick it in the shins to not do
that, or to get any idea about the rules it employs there.

2) The output of the eclipse console window (with the build output) is
extremely messed up. When the final program size is output, screenfuls
of more lines show up, interspersed with the last expected output (from
avr-size) and the continuing for several screenfuls more. Wild guess,
eclipse is capturing two different output streams and mixing them badly
out of order.

I'd be glad for any more suggestions.

Volker

Re: [Avr-eclipse-user] AVR eclipse nighlty

[Thomas H. <th...@in...>]

Christopher,

while it took me quite a bit longer than expected, I finally have a 
version of the AVR Eclipse Plugin with the discovery path fixes online: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/avr-eclipse/files/avr-eclipse%20beta%20versions/

I've declared it as a beta as I just finished it yesterday and didn't 
spend much time on testing it in depth.  I just made a short test run 
with Eclipse Indigo (3.7) under Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10, both running 
in 64bit mode.
The most basic features all seem to work, including the improved 
discovery mechanism which now reloads all paths & symbols whenever the 
MCU of a project is changed.

Your feedback is welcome!

brgds,

Thomas
