Oct.25 LMS 4DIAC-IDE and FORTE on a stick

Creating a version of 4DIAC-IDE and FORTE already set-up with LMS Palette.

It should be  a zip that can be used as soon as its extracted even on an USB stick.

4DIAC-IDE 

• clone from hg (synchronize, test, export)
• copy into 4DIAC-IDE directory:
• template directory from hg 
• typelibrary with default configuration FBs
• working on lms palette to be included with:
• OFF- turns the LMS off (=shutdown)
• OFF is a shorter name than shutdown
• LED- light sensor led
• TOUCH
• LT (reads light sensor value)

• set preferences 
• looking into using system variable for current path in 4diac-ide code: 
• org.fordiac.ide.fbrtLauncher\src\org\fordiac\ide\fbrtlauncher\preferences\PreferenceInitializer.java
• FORTE
• FBDK 
• export all lms /lms FB types

FORTE

Stage 1: (compile hg version)

• clone from hg
• copy in ecos include and lib directories under bin/lms directory
• run setup_lms.sh
• run bin/lms/make all 2-3 times until only get a compile error
• change src/makefile.am to include the whole lms pallete and only FBs needed 
• see if easy to add lms conditional variable to configure.in

• E_SWITCH
• E_CYCLE
• E_RS
• E_SR
• E_CTU?
• E_DELAY?

• run bin/lms/make all 
• Note: This executable will do nothing yet because  lmsmain.cpp still has the empty default code.

Currently HERE

Stage 2: (compile to run on lms) 

• copy in the src/arch/ecos/lms the minimum files needed:
• lmsmain.cpp
• arv_ctl.c / .h
• i2c_at91sam7sxxx.c / .h
• Buttons.c/ .h
• Port reservation files (sensor INIT service)
• run run bin/lms/distclean
• run bin/lms/make all until no errors
• Flash LMS NXT with forte.bin

Stage 3: Ready for lms HW FBs and user exported FBs and FB downloads via deployment 

•  start USB ethernet bat
• would be nice if bat file could be connected into deployment directly
• deploy application to LMS NXT
