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

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.
