Mar.23-26 Notes from Alex on eCos/LegoHW set-up

note: lms= Lego Mindstorms

when openocd_flash doesn't work.

   under programs Atmel /Sam-ba flash

In C++ Eclipse:
·       setup_lms  creates the makefiles
·       all (see  makefile.am for list of files ) (just normal make all)
        ·       compiles and links to ecos
        ·       the output file is forte. (no ext)

From Desktop:

openocd_flash.bat

·        first creates the forte.bin
·        It outputs size of forte.bin
·        It flashes forte.bin to lms via jtag. (with the available FBs)
 
After flashing, the program does not run, it’s halted.
openocd.bat resets the lms and starts running.

In java Eclipse - run

open 4diac-ide deployment: 
·       check system with application
·       download (FB instantiations that make up the application)
·       application should run


Optional debugging with  gdb
·       start arm-elf-insight from cygwin
in gdb

·       Open forte using default
·       connect via Ethernet – localhost/3333

(where? details notes lost)
        ·        monitor reset
        ·        monitor halt
        ·       (usually did a 2nd reset?)
        ·       see GDB table for more commands
        ·       can only use 1 breakpoint at a time

        ·       openocd.bat (should already be running)

First Tasks:
Check Sensor HW outputs like:
GetButtonState() - buttons are 1,2,4,8 but which button is which
SetOutputPower(…) - from motor
etc.
