The first step in getting the the bootloader up-and-running, is the creation of the Eclipse workspace in TrueStudio.

This user program is configured such that it can be programmed, into the internal flash memory of the microcontroller, during a firmware update with the bootloader. One for the bootloader itself and one for the demo user program. As one thing atollic truestudio does compared to other eclipse/gcc toolchains is manage its very own private GCC toolchain for use by the projects.Two demo projects are included in the OpenBLT bootloader package. Having no real insight into the parameters of the mbed linker is a massive part of this, I suspect.Īnyway - getting back to the topic, apart from exporting/importing a makefile project the big bit of getting simple projects into atollic, is actually to go through and update the toolchain info to use the corresponding arm-atollic. HOWEVER while this works great for small simple projects, with a large complex project (the microsoft azure Iothub client mbed k64f projects) the projects exhibited some pretty huge weirdness on local compiler, to the point where I think the online mbecd compiler is just not compatible with GCC. that was close enough to Atollic for my purposes. I ended up having some success with exporting to KDE, which is the manufacturer supplied IDE for the Kinetis family of arm processors. So using the generic instructions I got my mbed project importing into atollic trustudio as a makefile project, and basic compilation of project files, however seem to be having a problem with the linker phase?Īs a side note - now that truestudio lite is free to use indefinitely and size unlimited, may be worth the mbed people looking a bit more seriously at it as a dedicated export target? Especially if you're not about to get web-ide in circuit debugging happening anytime soon (like TI have managed with their cloud version of Code Composer Studio.)

I'm relatively new to mbed (have used mbed as a c++ library before, but just the library in CooCox*bleargh* IDE) and while I love the things the whole mbed system lets you do as a web ide, I am at a point with my current project where I would REALLY love to use the built in debugger hw in my FRDM-K64F board to trace a long convoluted set of imported library code.Ītollic is basically a commercial packaging of gnu tools and eclipse, but setup to just work when installed without stuffing about. Has anyone here already figured out export to atollic truestudio? I'm sure it's do-able and am in the process of bumbling through, but would rather not have to bump through it if someone alredy knows exactly what to do.
