Processor Macro For Embedded Development Tools

[scarphin]

Hi,
First of all I want to thank all of u for that very nice IDE called Code::Blocks! My experience is in the embedded field mostly with a couple of MCUs so I'm very inexperienced on the PC side. At the moment I am mainly concerned with AVR wizard discussed here:

http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=6962.0;prev_next=prev

The wizard passes the Processor information to the linker with a "Processor" variable to adjust the linker. Is there a way to assign this variable to a macro like "${PROCESSOR}" to be used elsewhere i.e. script programming the target AVR type or adjusting debug target type automatically? If something like this could be implemented it would be useful in every embedded target like 'ARM, MSP430 etc...'. Need help with this, thnx...

Please look at Custom variables; they might do what you want.

Under "Project" -> "Build Options" Tab "Custom variables"

I found a way to do it. When I add the line:

Code

project.SetVar(_T("MCU"), Processor, false);

to the avr wizard script, I see the "MCU" variable paired with the avr type (processor var in the script) on the "Custom Variables" tab. Is there a more convenient way to do this or shall I deal with this no longer? And is there also a compiler specific menu? Like when the AVR compiler is chosen a user tools menu including only the tools chosen about AVR.

Regards...
