Transfer Your Project from Arduino Create to Intel® System Studio 2018 Beta

This article is for our sponsors at CodeProject. These articles are intended to provide you with information on products and services that we consider useful and of value to developers

Details

  • Tested with l_cembd_p_2018.0.050
  • Linux* host build
  • Requires CMake on the host

Purpose

Build a project from Arduino Create* in Intel® System Studio (with CMake Makefile generation).

  1. Export a project from Arduino Create*
  2. Extract the provided zip file
  3. Generate the Eclipse* Makefile/.cproject/.project files
  4. Import the build directory into Intel® System Studio
  5. Build/debug

Note: For libraries that are dynamically linked in Arduino Create, these libraries must be installed in the docker container in Intel System Studio for this to work.

Exporting a Project from Arduino Create*

The following sample was used: https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/up-squared-grove-IoTdev-kit-arduino-create/tree/master/examples/Blink using the provided Export flow, save off a CMake-based project archived to a zip file (in this case: arduino_create-cmake.zip).

Generate the Eclipse* CDT Project for Intel® System Studio

  1. First, extract the CMake zip
    unzip arduino_create-cmake.zip -d iss_example_Blink
  2. Run CMake to generate the CDT Project
    cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -Biss_example_Blink/build -Hiss_example_Blink/_cmake

Import the project into Intel® System Studio

Build and Debug

  1. Set a breakpoint in the sketch.

  2. Build the project. Make sure to save prior to building! A successful build will place a debug binary in the Project Explorer (below as examples_Blink -[x86_64]).

  3. Debug the project - examples_Blink (1)

  4. Hit Resume (F8) one time to continue from main.cpp to the sketch breakpoint.
