ARC GNU IDE documentation has been moved to https://embarc.org/toolchain/ide/how-to-run-embarc-project.html

Generating IDE projects and documentation

In embARC releases both IDE projects and documentation are already generated, so these steps should be done only if you want to test the latest version of embARC.

  1. Checkout arc_open_project repository. Create ide_projects folder in root directory, then run tools/scripts/ide_gen/ide_projects_gen.sh. This script calls python scripts, and for them to run correctly you need to use Python version 2.7.9.

  2. To compile projects that use Wi-Fi, submodules middleware/lwip and middleware/lwip-contrib are needed. These repositories are private, but contents of these directories can be copied from the latest release of embARC. Although using not the latest versions of them might lead to errors.

  3. In doc/ directory there is a makefile that can be used for generating a documentation. To generate it doxygen is used, and it might be necessary to use doxygen from depot/ since old version of doxygen could lead to errors. In this documentation there is an Examples page with an overview of IDE projects and Examples Usage Guide where you can find how to prepare for running projects, for example, how to connect Pmod Wifi and Pmod TMP2 to your board.

Running IDE projects

  1. To import them in IDE you should select your workspace to <embARC_root>/ide_projects/emsk_xx/gnu.

  2. Import projects using 'General/Existing Projects into Workspace'.

  3. WiFi hotspot used for running examples that use WiFi should be named 'embARC' with password 'qazwsxedc'.

When testing embARC projects, should be checked:

  • Pmod TMP2 and Pmod WiFi
  • baremetal, contiki and freertos projects

All this can be checked if running, for example, projects baremetal_arc_feature_interrupt, contiki_sensor and freertos_net_httpserver.
