Setting Up Eclipse for avr_bridge
Description: How To set up Eclipse IDE for compiling and programming the avr_bridge avr codeTutorial Level:
Contents
This tutorial is based off of the Arduino Eclipse guide : http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/Eclipse
Install Dependencies
These are the tools necessary to compile and program your avr.
sudo apt-get install avrdude binutils-avr gcc-avr avr-libc gdb-avr
Install Eclipse
Next, go to http://www.eclipse.org/downloads and download Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers.
Install the AVR plugin for Eclipse
Inside Eclipse, Go to the Software update dialog (Help > Software Updates...)
Then select the Available Software tab. Click on the 'Add Site... button to the right hand side and enter the URL of the update site: http://avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net/updatesite/
Then click on OK. The AVR Eclipse update site is now shown in the list of update sites. Select the "AVR Eclipse Plugin" and press the Install... button in the top right corner.
Generate Eclipse Project
After your avr_bridge CMakeList.txt is correctly set up, you can use
make eclipse-project
To generate the eclipse project files. These files can be imported into Eclipse.
Compiling and Programming
Once you make your own main.cpp and load your own avrRos directory, you should be able to compile your program using eclipse's build system. You can then download the program using avrdude through eclipse by hitting the AVR-> button in the eclipse tool bar.
