Build the strongest eclipse, develop the AVR project

Objective

Because I am an embedded MCU development siege Lion, I use the IDE on their own to spend some effort to optimize the upgrade of it, in order to solve the problem of higher efficiency.

"If you want to be good at work, you must first sharpen it", from the entry to now also used a lot of editor/ide, from notepad++ in school to Uestudio to vs 2013 and so on,

Every time I find a useful feature, I can program faster.

Search the Internet for a long time, found that the information about the eclipse is too little incomplete, so we have this blog post, each of our share will eventually converge

Into ocean. For easy retrieval, please specify the source of the reprint.

Uestudio probably spent more than 2 years, I go through every corner of it to optimize for my needs, but after all, it is a paid-closed editor, and gradually can not

Meet my needs, while now idle, in the online rushed a long time after the spray, after several comparisons, finally chose Eclipse. There are several reasons for this:

1. Open source

This is very important, so that I can better optimize it, in case there is a function I would like to use, even if the changes have code can be changed, right!

2. Special rich third-party plugins

And it's all open source. Although many of these plugins have not been updated for many years, these are still very useful.

3. Conditional compilation Difference Display

The code snippet that can be compiled on the condition shows that the feature segment is not configured at a glance.

4. Custom formatting of code

Because of the frequent receiving, browsing the code of others, using this function as a key format of their usual format, extremely convenient.

5. Reference Location Search

Easy to check the use of functions

6. Easy to compile

can refer to other compilers to handle compilation results.

7. To summarize, it is easy to use!

Software Installation List

Eclips http://www.eclipse.org/Select the eclipse IDE for C + + developers version, I downloaded the Luna version because the latest version has not yet updated the Chinese language pack

WINWVR http://winavr.sourceforge.net/index.html using the GCC compiler

MinGW http://www.mingw.org/is used to test the local C code and is not installed. Since Microsoft has always rejected the full support of C, so the current MinGW is the best choice, of course, you can choose Codeblocks, C-free and so on

The above installation is relatively simple, on-line search related blog can, need to note is to add the necessary system environment variables. For this I made a plugin using a batch script, so please look forward to my other posts.

Other related blog posts are recommended:

Eclipse Environment Construction _ Baidu Experience

I installed it separately in the D:\CODE\MinGW D:\CODE\eclipse-Luna directory, which makes it easy to manage

List of my Eclipse Essentials plugins:

AVR-ECLIPSE Auxiliary Configuration AVR Project Http://avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net/updatesite
Luna Language Pack (currently not supported in Mars version) Http://download.eclipse.org/technology/babel/update-site/R0.12.1/luna
ColorCode Code Coloring Plugin http://colorer.sf.net/eclipsecolorer/
Easy Explorer Opens the project file location http://sourceforge.net/projects/easystruts/
Regex Util Regular expression aided design tool http://regex-util.sourceforge.net/update/
Subversive Site version Control SVN plugin http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/3.0/update-site/
Git version control GitHub plugin http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates/

Note: The above-mentioned URLs are currently the latest available version (2015-07-11), many of which are not updated for a long time, so use this can be.

Alternatively, you can automatically find the latest version by using the following method: Help->eclipse Marketplace, search for plugins inside.

Also, check the source list in Help->install new software to find some new gadgets.

tips for using a cheat

1. After installing the Eclips plugin, restart the software to apply.

Restarting eclipse is a good choice when you occasionally encounter problems that are confusing.

2. Auto-Save before compiling

To activate Autosave open the Eclipse Preferences (Window > Preferences ...) and select General, Workspace. Here the Save automatically before build option can is enabled.

3. Modify the labeling resolution settings

Windows-> Preferences, C + +, Indexer revoke the index source files not includeed in the build option.

When you press F3 to jump to an exception (skip to the part of the code that is not compiled), most also for this reason, when you revoke this option, the definition of invalid code snippet is not referenced, and it is more convenient to search for a full-project search.

4. Because the Remotesystemstempfiles project is always generated automatically, how to delete it?

A. Open Windows-->preferences-->general-->startup and shutdown remove the selected state of the RSE UI and turn off eclipse;
B. Open the Eclipse workspace to remove the "Remotesystemstempfiles" project and then start the Eclipse program, no longer automatically generated.

This thing is used to do remote file local cache use, it is recommended not to delete. Eclipse has a "remote System exexplorer" perspective, which has a variety of remote terminal functions such as FTP, SSH, Linux, Unix, Windows, Telnet, etc., which depend on the " Remotesystemstempfiles ".

5. Delete line trailing spaces when saving

Window > Preferences > Editor check Remove trailing whitespace

6. Display the print page margin

Window > Preferences > Editor tick Show print page margin

7. Above settings and other settings please look forward to my next blog post, "Create your own dedicated eclipse personalization."

Some memo items for AVR related projects:

1. Create the AVR Project

Select the first, General mode (AVR cross target applications) and the second Common Library template (AVR cross target Static library)

2. Project Properties

Since the makefile file configured with the Avr-eclipse plug-in has been compiled with some unresolved issues, I recommend the following settings for the created project, which we use to create the project manually or makefile created by AVR Studio.

Open the project properties,

C + + Build revocation gernerate makefiles automatically option

C + + build-"Bulider Settings in the Build location to the default folder

Add a project reference under the Include tab in the C + + general-Path and Symbols (if your project is also managed in folders)

3. Pre-compilation Instructions

Open the project properties, go to C + + Build > Settings > Build Steps and set the following as the Pre-build Steps Command

-avr-size--format=avr ==mcu=${avrtargetmcu} ${buildartifactfilename}

4. Post-compilation instructions

Open the project properties, go to C + + Build > Settings > Build Steps and set the following as the Pre-build Steps Command

Avr-objcopy-r. Eeprom-o binary ${buildartifactfilename} ${buildartifactfilebasename}.bin

5. Create the makefile file using Avr-eclipse, which differs from as as follows:

1, the project properties page to set the optimization option to -0s

2, after compiling, found that the file is slightly larger than the makefile of the as settings, the comparison of settings found the following different

Asmflags +=-wa,-gdwarf2

CFLAGS + =-g2-ffunction-sections

Lack

CFLAGS + =-MD-MP-MT $ (*f). O-MF dep/$ (@F). D

Works created using the Avr-eclipse plugin, large after compilation, cannot be run

It was a lot quicker to switch.
