Windows/Linux/Mac Eclipse plugin to compile and upload arduino sketches

[boubil]

You're right, I moved the arduino folder to c:\ and now it works !

Thanks a lot for helping me and thanks a lot for your plugin !

I just tried to user arduino 1.5.2 with kepler (installed on d:\arduino) and the plugin don"t recognize the arduino folder.

good to hear it works.
If you want to work with Arduino 1.5.2 beta you need to install plugin version 2 beta.

Thank you Jantje

For now I don't need 1.5.2 beta.

I'm so happy it's all builing now.

Hi!
I have just started with arduino and using the eclipse plugin. So far I have tested the blink and serial example and it works fine.
Though now I'm trying to use a MPU 6050 sensor which means I need to include the Wire library and it does not build. I have tested the code with the Arduino IDE and it works fine.

OS: Win8
Eclipse Version: Kepler Release
Plugin: 1.2.4
Arduino: 1.0.5
Board: Arduino UNO

Imported libraries are: Wire, I2Cdev and MPU6050

Console output:

It was many years since I coded so its probably a noob mistake.

[Jantje]

please upgrade to the latest version.

[vizual54]

please upgrade to the latest version.

I just noticed that I actually have the latest version 1.2.5.5.
Dont know where I got 1.2.4 from.

Edit:
Made a new project and imported wire, i2c and mpu6050 and now it compiles fine.

[Jantje]

Great
Thanks for the update.

I'm just coming back to some Arduino development, but since last I time I've moved from using an old ubuntu linux  to a new mint 15.

I've installed Juno from the eclipse web site as Mint15 ships with "eclipse 3.8" and I wasn't sure it that was an "I" or "J" version.

Anyway I've installed the 1.5.2 beta aduino tools, and the latest version of your plug-in.

Some of my existing project have some assembly code functions in ".S" files.  These used to be automatically assembled and linked, but with the new tools they don't get built.

Is this the expected behavior and if so can it be changed to include them in the build ?   BTW they do show up correctly in the project explorer.

Nice to hear it works on Mint;-)
As you probably noticed V2 beta of my plugin is a complete rewrite. And I indeed removed the assembly thinking who needs that (I assumed that inline assembly would be used).
If you want V2 Beta to compile assembly you could try to add a assembly instruction to the toolchain for your project.
If your assembly is in the project (in other: "not a library") it may turn out to be easy (I have never done it)
Keep us posted on progress.

Thanks for quick reply !

I'm not sure which of the tools I should be adding to the tool chain.  There doesn't seem to be an "Arduino assembler" option equivalent to the "Arduino C Compiler" option.

I've tried adding the "Cross GCC Assembler" but that results in lots of java "NULL pointer exceptions" .....

Sounds like it won't work.
Is inline assembly an option for you?

It may work as it's most likely I've not set it up correctly.  Can you give any hints as to what setting would need to be made ?

Maybe, but it seems a shame the previous functionality (that just worked) has been removed.

[PeterO]

Hmmmm.....

Making some progress, but it seems like the ".S" file isn't being looked at atall.  What should link a ".S" file to using the tool specified as the assembler ?

The link is in the "tool" as such the "Cross GCC Assembler". The tool is linked to a file type and in the preferences you can add filename wild cards to file types. The tool decides where to look for files where to put the compilation output.
This is why I made "Arduino C compiler" "Arduino C++ compiler" ....
This is a area I completely rewrote to get everything in 1 eclipse project. The sequence of processing the files is at least "mysterious" so I would not spend to much time trying to plug in assembly only using the gui.

I agree it is removed functionality. Getting it to work in one project was a big pain. I had a real hard time and I was sometimes next to hopeless. So now 'm pleased it works. Not including the assembler was a small "cost". I see no reason why I could not add the assembler back in. Apart from
1) I have no test code.
2) I have no need.
Both are things you could help out with

I'm happy to help, but I should say I haven't written any Java for about 15 years!
