Any updates on this? Would be great to use platformIO to develop on the Intel Edison/Galileo with C/C++

@ivankravets How can we help?

[ivankravets]

@D3f0 the interesting question... The best "helper" in this situation is Intel. We will try to contact with them.

P.S: Do you have any contacts with Intel Corp.?

[D3f0]

Unfortunately I don't have any contacts. They have their own solution for IoT, which I personally don't like very much. I don't know if they would be interested, though we can try contacting them anyway.

I've found in their forums that sketches can be compiled with:

[bin]/i586-poky-linux-uclibc-g++ -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=[tools]/i586-poky-linux-uclibc -Os -Wl,--gc-sections -march=i586 -o [tmp]/sketch_feb23a.cpp.elf [tmp]\sketch_feb23a.cpp.o [tmp]/core.a -L[tmp] -lm -lpthread

This compilations should not be hard to Scon-ify. Previously we should be able to download the compilers, .h files and stuff, I'll take a look at what URL Arduino IDE is calling to get the support files.

[w4ilun]

What would be needed to get the ball rolling? I can reach out to see what can be supported

[ivankravets]

Dear @w4ilun,

We have 2 issues related to Intel hardware. In the other words, we don't have support for the Intel hardware :(

Please ask someone from @intel to contact [email protected] and I'm ready to discuss implementation process.

I've taken a look at what the Arduino IDE downloads from:
http://downloads.arduino.cc/packages/package_index.json

Apparently the Intel related parts come from this part of the file

Most contributors at 01org work at Intel. Actually @w4ilun is one of them :) Maybe they're interested in helping out here.
@ivankravets maybe we can start downloading the tools and then figure out how to build stuff with them using SCons.
I'll take a look at Creating a Platform guide to start downloading the tools.

[ivankravets]

Guys, you are right. You can implement this within own development platform using http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/creating_platform.html. I propose to make separate repo for that and develop within it. I'm and @valeros will look on it and help you if need.

As for packages. For the beginning, just copy them to ~/.platformio/packages with the valid structure (take a look at the existing packages) and add them manually to ~/.platformio/appstate.json. For examle:

{
   ....
    "installed_packages": {
        "toochain-arcelf32": {
            "version": 1, 
            "time": 1451151351
        }, 
       ...
   }
}

If you need any help don't hesitate to contact us.

Also, I want to notice that process with adding new development platform will be significantly simplified in PlatformIO 3.0. See #479

If this issue is not critical, I propose to wait when I'll implement #479

[D3f0]

@ivankravets @valeros Should I fork platformIO and put some subfolder in platformio/boards/intel.json?

[ivankravets]

@D3f0 please develop into the home directory as described in http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/creating_platform.html

Then share here 3 files:

• intel.json
• platform-builder.py
• platform.py

We are going to start working on PlatformIO 3.0 where will not be this info like, boards, platform scripts, etc inside PlatformIO Core. See #479

Please add support for Intel Galileo and Edison, I tried to create a custom board with the tutorial but I didn't understand it and I have no idea. Thanks.

[ngmacha]

+1 for adding support for Intel Galileo and Edison boards!

[JelleRoets]

Recently I created a tutorial to build, compile and debug c/cpp projects for the Intel Edison platform, using VSCode instead of Intel's System Studio (since the latter is not working for me)

Actually I created a generic makefile that compiles the c/cpp project in a docker container, so this approach is completely platform and IDE independent, this means you can use any editor you like: Sublime, Vim, Atom, VScode, etc...

You can find this makefile, including an example Hello World project here: https://github.com/JelleRoets/cross-compile-edison

Hopefully this can help. Someone familiar with creating Platformio board definitions can maybe use this tutorial to integrate Intel Edison and Galileo into Platformio.

[Cabalist]

These were discontinued about a year ago. see here: https://hackaday.com/2017/06/19/intel-discontinues-joule-galileo-and-edison-product-lines/

I think this issue should be closed. :/

[ivankravets]

It makes sense
