AddRobots MCU¶
Build Instructions¶
The project is a Kinetis Design Studio 3.x project (KDS 3.2.0) https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-330211
It takes advantage of the following projects:
- GNUARM Eclipse OpenOCD https://gnuarmeclipse.github.io/
- MCU on Eclipse Processor Expert beans https://mcuoneclipse.com/category/processor-expert/
Install the tools from these projects into KDS, and then open the project. Then select Generate Processor Expert Code
and that will generate code from the Process Expoert Beans. The project is likely in Build Automatically
mode which means the project will build all the code. If it's not, then select Build Project
. There will be a debug/run configuration called addrobots_mcu (OpenOCD KL22F) (release)
that should run the code. It's a CMSIS/DAP program/run setup, so if there's compatible device on the USB bus, the IDE will program it and then run/debug the code.
Project Improvements & Goals¶
NXP bought Freescale in 2016, and they soon deprecated KDS. They replaced it with a new IDE, MCU Xpresso that's not quite ready for a port of this project. It may be possible to bring Processor Expert into an Eclipse Neon version of MCU Xpresso: https://mcuoneclipse.com/2017/04/09/mcuxpresso-ide-installing-processor-expert-into-eclipse-neon/
