Hi,

Is anybody developing for the LPC2xxx family using:
- Eclipse
- openOCD JTAG from Olimex
- MAC OS X

If so, how do you setup your environment?

Thanks,
Jean

First....create a Windoze partition.

Or, fire up Google:

An alternative would be contacting Paul Curtis about the presumed
release of Crossworks for ARM 2.0 - which then would be also available
on Mac OS X.

This is a presumption, but since all other products made by Paul's
company now have been ported to the mac, the ARM's the last one left to do.

Paul, should you be reading this, do I assume right?

CrossWorks for ARM is currently working on Mac OS X, yes. Some customers
have access to the daily builds of V2. However, as the ARM version of our
software is significantly more intricate (in certain respects) than the
other products, it's not possible to introduce V2 ARM at the same time as
other products.

V2 for ARM will support FTDI JTAG devices just like the Linux V1 compilers
do.

Ahahaha...

My Olimex JTAG is already setup as described in the link you
specified, thanks though. This link does not explain how to install
the debugger and generate the executable. This is exactly what I am
after.

Thanks,
Jean

Thanks for the heads up, crossworks is a commercial solution though. I
understand it is relatively cheap, though I am really looking for
something free to use for any type of applications. Eclipse, openOCD
are perfect for this.

I'm sure there would be members interested in the solution, should you find
one.

Installing the debugger:

Normally Eclipse is just setup to use GDB, so if you have the GNU tools
already working then the debugger will be installed, its just a matter of
hooking it into Eclipse (and making sure its in you path). To do this you
need the "remote debugging" capability added to your Eclipse installation.
There are instructions here http://www.freertos.org/Eclipse.html to do this
for older Eclipse versions, the latest versions have this as part of the
standard CDT installation so you may find its there already.

Next you need to be able to launch the debugger which involves setting up a
Debug Configuration. If you can find the menu item (in the debug
perspective) then its just a matter of filling in the blanks, provided you
know how to setup OpenOCD scripts.

Here is a really old article that discusses (at its end) CrossWorks and
Eclipse.
http://www.elektronikpraxis.vogel.de/fileserver/vogelonline/files/419.pdf
(http://www.elektronikpraxis.vogel.de/themen/embeddedsoftwareengineering/imp
lementierung/articles/89587/ for the German version). Things have moved on
a long way since then though.
Generating the Executable:

If you can build your project using a makefile then you can build it in
Eclipse. Just create a "standard makefile" project and point it at the
right makefile. You can also use managed make, but personally I stick to
makefiles as managed make requires your source code to be organised in a
non-productive/non-optimal way.
The easiest thing to do is start with a preconfigured project (like the ones
in the FreeRTOS.org download), then just modify it to tailor it to your
needs. Eclipse has a bit of a learning curve.

I've been using managed make for quite a while now (using the internal
builder), without noticing any real restrictions on code organisation --
care to elaborate?

Thanks for the detailed answer Richard.

It;s interesting you have a instructions available on the FreeRTOS
website on how to setup Eclipse... I've been considering at using
FreeRTOS on LPC uC for a long time now, and this may be the perfect
occasion to get into it.
