EclipseArmebs4/FirstSteps

If you're here, you should have already followed the setup (for windows/for linux). Please have a look at the troubleshooting page before asking for help.

Before the first project

Eclipse is somewhat complicated to configure, so there is a preconfigured workspace in your setup, probably in C:\Programs\ARMEBS4\___VERSION___\tools\default_workspace_to_be_copied.

• Copy the default_workspace_to_be_copied to a convenient place, for instance your desktop.
• Run Eclipse (C:\Programs\ARMEBS4\___VERSION___\start.bat)
• Import the libheivs_stm32 library
  • Right-click in the "Project explorer" -> import... > Project from SVN >
    • URL : https://repos.hevs.ch/svn/armebs4
    • Use a custom label : armebs4
    • user : hevslabs
    • password : hevslabs
  • > Next
    • Browse... > select armebs4/trunk/libheivs_stm32 > OK
    • Finish > Finish

The leds project

• Import the leds project
  • Right-click in the "Project explorer" -> import... > Project from SVN >
  • Use existing repository (armebs4) > Next
    • Browse... > select armebs4/trunk/demos/leds > OK
    • Finish > Finish
• Build the code (ctrl-B)
• Run it
  • Run > Debug configuration ... select "GDB OpenOCD Debugging"/leds > Debug
  • The program will be programmed in flash, this can take some time
  • If eclipse ask for switching to the debug perspective > OK
• The program is now stopped at the beginning of main, start it with "run > resume" or the corresponding button.
  • The 4 red leds should blink
• Add a breakpoint by double-clicking in the left (blue) margin, at the "counter++" line.
  • The program is stopped.

Debugger buttons

Optimisation and debugging

The variable window will show you some unexpected result :

This is caused by the optimization. To disable optimization, go to the project manager (perhaps in the c/c++ view), right-click on the project > properties > c/c++ build > settings > optimisation and set optimization to 0.

Re-debug the software, now the variables should be shown :
