Zephyr Project using Eclipse


Nicholas Yameen <Nicholas.Yameen@...>
 

Hello,

 

I want to develop applications using the FRDM-K64F board from NXP using Eclipse.  Is there any way to use Eclipse as an IDE and create a program, then flash it onto the board? I want to do my development all from Eclipse.  Or do is Eclipse only used as a debugger? Thank you.

 

Regards,

Nick

Hi Nick,

Once you’ve generated your project with CMake and imported it into Eclipse, you can edit source files in Eclipse and click the “Make” button to recompile your application.

 

Just be careful if you need to edit Kconfig variables, add new .c files to your project, or update the device tree, because these changes require regenerating your project with CMake. You’ll need to run ‘ninja pristine’ on the command line first, reinvoke CMake, then refresh your project in Eclipse.

Morning,

A bit tricky because Eclipse CDT integration of cmake is only available at the latest release and imho not very good.

1.) build from eclipse

Simplest way:
Use std. C Project. Under "C/C++ build" options >> "Builder Type: external" & "Build command: make"

before:
activate build enviroment & go to your zephyr project. create build dir, run cmake

2.) debug from eclipse

the open ocd debuger from the gnu mcu pulgin works best (https://gnu-mcu-eclipse.github.io/debug/openocd/)

create a new run config & and reset the paths:
openocd binary form the /opt/... dir

openocd.cfg from the board config

run west debugserver and start the eclipse debug config


Good luck

Stefan

Hi


You can let cmake generate a Eclipse project. No cmake integration in eclipse needed: See the documentation https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/application/application.html?highlight=eclipse#eclipse-debugging

TLDR:

cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Ninja" -DBOARD=frdm_k64f %ZEPHYR_BASE%\samples\synchronization
ninja
