Update the ARM project template

[tridentsx]

I started looking at codeblocks recently, for arm embedded development. The template for ARM development is not suitable for me.
It doesn't have arm-none-eabi tool chain option. I allredy know I can add it by reconfiguring in the compiler options, however I would
like it to be avialable as a drop down in the project wizard.

What do you think ?

Right click on the template -> edit script -> modify the code as you wish and submit a patch

[scarphin]

Regarding the AVR template I modified, do I have to submit it as a patch? If so, I know nothing about creating a patch, how can I get help about this?

[oBFusCATed]

svn diff > my.patch in the top level dir of C::B
If you need to know more about it svn help diff or read the manual.

I tried right click and edit script, however it doesnt work. The script opens up in the editor but its read only. I can't edit anything in
the editor pane it doesn't accept keyboard input.

This was with the latest build as of yesterday on an ubuntu 10.10 machine. For fun I tried the same build on a windows box at work,
and on windows the pane does accept editing.  Dont' know whats going on here.

I also think that the new arm-none-eabi toolchain needs to be added to the compiler plugins?

One more thing how can i debug those scripts ? Is there someway to follow the exection flow ?

Thanks /// Carl

You can use the Log function, also see the view -> script console

On linux you're running as simple user, but the scripts are inside /usr/something where only root can write.
Move the file to .codeblocks/share/scritps (or something like that).
Probably you'll have to rename the file...

I am trying to use the log function but I am not successful.  I am adding this to the script

Log(_T("Running STM32 setup script"));

Where should I see the output? I don't get it in the codeblocks-debug.log and I cant see it in the Log & Others ?

Thanks for your help.

Where should I see the output? I don't get it in the codeblocks-debug.log and I cant see it in the Log & Others ?

To enable the debug log you must pass it as an option to C::B like on start-up like:
./codeblocks --debug-log

[tridentsx]

Thanks for your kind help.  I tried your suggestion however it didnt seem to work.

Below is the content of the log file. It doesn't contain the debug Log entry that I have added to the ARM
script before starting codeblocks.

I did execute the right script I know that because I could see other changes in the welcome screen that I
did at same time as I added the  Log(_T("Running STM32 setup script")).

Is that the right syntax to add something to a wizard script?

Execute "Log(_T("Running STM32 setup script"))" in the script console and you'll see that it goes to the "Log & Others".
Probably your script is not executed.

p.s. please use code tags for long pastes.

Thanks for the help, I dont know what I did wrong but its working now.
When I am done I will submitt a patch for review.

Thanks // Carl

I have successfully added the new compiler, but when I create a new project the template .c .h and .ld files are not added.
 
I get the following in the debug log.

The tempate files under usr/localshare/codeblocks/templates/arm has the right permissions.
 Is it the codeblocks default search paths that are pointing somewhere else ?

[tridentsx]

 :?
I don't understand how codeblocks knows where to pickup the script wizard files.

I got two terminals with the same path settings, the same shell, same user and same environment that starts codeblocks.

The code blocks started from one of the shells can successfully complete the ARM wizard including copying files every single time.

This has to be something silly. Any ideas please? :?: :?: :?:

Ok I figured out whats happening, I just don't understand why if the paths, and environments in the shells are the same.
