Please find the new release of embedXcode

Sep 01, 2012 • Support for Arduino Leonardo

As the Arduino Leonardo requires a specific reset procedure due to its ATmega32U4, I had to develop a reset script in Python. 

Also included in this release, support for Xcode 4.4.1 and for newly released Energia 0101E0008 and a fix for GraphWiz 2.28 crashing on Mountain Lion.

As always, find documentation and download at http://embedXcode.weebly.com

That's got to be the first scripted Leonardo programmer. 

It was easier to do in Visual Studio so well done. Great job!

New! Installation Package

embedXcode is now installed with a standard installation package. Installation is faster and easier.



The Installation Guide and User Manual has changed for User Manual.

The package includes the templates, the code snippets, and the User Manual.



Find it at the download page!

As Arduino 1.0 is now stabilised and wide-spread, should embedXcode continue to support Arduino 23?

Answer the poll Smiley

Please note this is not going to affect other platforms, like chipKIT MPIDE which is still based on Arduino 23 and continues to be supported as it. 

Thank you for your input. The poll opens for one week.

New release 16 of embedXcode supports the FraunchPad MSP430FR5739.

embedXcode • Sep 25, 2012 release 16 • Support for FraunchPad

The Document target now builds a PDF file along with HTML and docset files.

Documentation is here and download there.

Obsolescence Notice
The following features are planned to become obsolete in a future release:
  • Support for Arduino 0023 is planned to be be discontinued.
  • The code for multiple platforms is managed in two ways: the MCU variables like __AVR_ATmega328P__ and the IDE variables like ARDUINO=101. The MCU variables are going to be suspended in favour the IDE variables. This enables a more compact code and an easier maintenance.

Updated User Manual and Support for Xcode 4.5.1

I updated the user manual based on the feed-back I've received about the following two sections: installation and target selection.

embedXcode now supports Xcode 4.5.1.

The package includes the templates, the code snippets, and the User Manual.

As always, documentation is here and download  there!

Please find the new release of embedXcode

Oct 21, 2012 • Selection of pde, ino or cpp extension for the sketch

When creating a new project, select the extension on the drop-down list:
• Choose pde for Arduino 0023, chipKIT MPIDE, Wiring and Leaflabs Maple,
• Choose ino for Arduino 1.0 and Energia,
• Choose cpp optionally for a standard C++ file.

Using a pde or ino extension allows to edit the sketch with the standard IDEs of the boards.

I'm implementing support for Due on embedXcode. 

Building and linking work fine.

Unfortunately, I can't proceed with the uploading tests as I don't own an Arduino Due board.

Learn more  Smiley

Thanks to the previous implementations for ARM Cortex M3-based Leaflabs Maple and the SAM-based Arduino Due, embedXcode now supports the StellarPad featuring a ARM Cortex-M4F Stellaris LM4F120H5QR.

I've tested successfully building, linking and uploading. 

I'm waiting for the official Energia update with Stellaris support before releasing embedXcode version 18.

Stay tuned  Smiley

Most of the manufacturers have sent me boards so I could proceed with the tests and add support on embedXcode. 

Sometimes, building and linking go well but the resulting executable (HEX or BIN) doesn't run. Also, uploading always carries surprises!

On my wish-list: Arduino Due, Teensy 3.0, chipKIT uC32.

Please find the new release of embedXcode

     Nov 17, 2012 release 22 • New Make and Fast optimised targets

embedXcode release 22 includes two new targets: Make and Fast. 



The Make and Fast targets feature an optimisation for the build of the foundation libraries.
 
The new targets are much faster than the corresponding Build and All targets. This is especially important for the ARM-based boards.

The maintenance of the embedXcode template is really difficult due to Apple secrecy around and lack of documentation on Xcode.

So I'm considering switching from Xcode to another IDE.

Here's an open letter to Apple Xcode team. Feel free to send it to members of the Apple Xcode team you know.

Thank you for your help Smiley


Quote:
Dear Xcode Team,

Xcode offers superior features and ergonomics compared with other IDEs running on OS X. 
Unfortunately, its restricted documentation prevents from using many of its features.

I'm using Xcode as a development tool for embedded computing platforms. 
As at today, the embedXcode template supports Arduino, Diligent chipKIT with MPIDE, Texas Instruments' Launchpad with Energia, Leaflab Maple, Teensy, Wiring, and has received a warm welcome from the embedded computing community. 

The issues I'm currently facing are mostly linked to the lack of available documentation.
The books available on Xcode focus on how to use the tool, not on how to customise it. Similarly, Apple doesn't provide any clues about its inner structure. 
For example, keywords used by the templates are not documented. Neither is using other tool-chains, albeit the specific Toolchains folder.

Is Xcode solely limited OS X and iOS development?
By just releasing some documentation on Xcode inner organisation and customisation, Apple can easily make Xcode the best choice for developers.

Otherwise, I'd have no option but to switch to another IDE and to abandon OS X.

Looking forward to hearing from you, 
Best regards, 

--- Rei Vilo

User Manual • Nov 24, 2012 release 17 • New section Dealing with Issues

embedXcode release 23 includes the additional optional parameter EXCLUDE_LIBS in the main makefile to black-list libraries.

Issues have been reported for the WiFi library on Arduino 1.0.2 and the Firmata library with Teensy 3.0.

Edit the makefile on you project and add the names of the libraries to exclude:

Code
Select All
# List the libraries to be excluded
# For example, WiFi may crash on Arduino 1.0.2
# For example, Firmata may crash on Teensy 3.0
#
EXCLUDE_LIBS = Firmata WiFi WiFi/utility
