Problem building Duet firmware

I'm waiting for a brave soul to test if the binary is valid / non-lethal

• Extract and move to /usr/local/arduino-1.5.4

• Create Eclipse workspace folder: /home/user/workspace
• Create RepRapFirmware project folder: /home/user/workspace/RepRapFirmware
• Create Arduino library folder: /home/user/workspace/RepRapFirmware/Libraries

• Extract and move to /usr/local/eclipse
• Start Eclipse: /usr/local/eclipse/eclipse
• Check "Use this as the default" to use this workspace by default
• Click "OK" to accept workspace location /home/user/workspace

• Click "Help" menu -> Install New Software...
• Enter "Work with" URL:

  http://www.baeyens.it/eclipse/V2

• Press enter to refresh the software source
• Uncheck "Group items by category" checkbox
• Select "Arduino eclipse extensions" item
• Click "Next", "Next", accept the agreement
• Click "Finish" to install the Arduino plugin
• Click "OK" when warned for unsigned content
• Click "Yes" to restart Eclipse

• Click "Window" menu -> "Preferences"
• Unfold "General"
• Click "Workspace"
• Check "Save automatically before build"
• Click "Arduino"
• Enter "Arduino IDE path" /usr/local/arduino-1.5.4
• Enter "Arduino Library path" /home/user/workspace/RepRapFirmware/Libraries
• Click "OK" to apply the changes

• Close the "Welcome to Eclipse" screen
• Click "Arduino" menu -> "New Sketch"
• Enter "Project name" RepRapFirmware
• Click "Next"
• Select "/usr/local/arduino-1.5.4/hardware/arduino/sam/boards.txt"
• Select "Board" Arduino Due (Native USB Port)
• Enter "Port" /dev/ttyACM0 (Your port name can be different!)
• Click "Finish"
• Exit Eclipse

• Visit RepRapFirmware @ [github.com]
• Click "Download ZIP" button on the right side of the page
• Copy contents of "RepRapFirmware-master.zip" to /home/user/workspace/RepRapFirmware
• Click "Replace all" when other files with the same name already exist.

• Visit Arduino libraries @ [github.com]
• Click "Download ZIP" button on the right side of the page
• Extract "Arduino-libraries-master.zip" to /home/user/workspace/RepRapFirmware/Libraries
• Copy /usr/local/arduino-1.5.4/hardware/arduino/sam/libraries/Wire to /home/user/workspace/RepRapFirmware/Libraries
• The Libraries folder should contain: EMAC, Lwip, MCP4461, SamNonDuePin, SD_HSMCI and Wire

• Start Eclipse: /usr/local/eclipse/eclipse
• Click "Project" menu -> "Build all"
• Console shows the compiler output

• Press Duet "MCU Erase" button
• Press Duet "Reset" button
• Wait while the board restarts
• This can take up to 40 seconds
• Click "Upload Sketch" button
• Console shows the upload progress

Compiling from Source

RepRap Frimware was developed using the Eclipse IDE, which is much more powerful for big software projects than the Arduino IDE.

We use Eclipse Juno, which is available here:

[www.eclipse.org]

You will also need the Eclipse Arduino support:

[www.baeyens.it]

And the Arduino IDE itself (make sure you get the one for the Due/Duet - version 1.5.5 at the time of writing):

[arduino.cc]

Finally you will need our libraries for driving the periphearls:

[github.com]

Start by getting the Arduino IDE programming your Duet with a simple Hello World program that prints to the USB (SerialUSB.print("Hello World"); on the Due/Duet, not Serial.print("Hello World");... )

Then install Eclipse and the Arduino plugin.

Make temporary copise of RepRapFirmware.cpp and RepRapFirmware.h from your download in another folder (you will only need to do this once).

Finally use Eclipse to open the Arduino project called RepRapFirmware in the folder where you have downloaded the RepRap Firmware code. Tell Eclipse to use the Arduino-libraries files you downloaded as the local libraries. Eclipse will complain that the project already exists (which it does - it is your download). Ignore this and it will open the project anyway.

Annoyingly the first time it may also overwrite RepRapFirmware.cpp and RepRapFirmware.h. So close the project, overwrite its overwrites with the two files you saved, open the project again and refresh it. Everything should now be ship-shape. Add the libraries

Wire
EMAC
Lwip
MCP4461
SamNonDuePin
SD_HSMCI

to your project. Under no circumstances be tempted to add standard Arduino libraries for devices like Ethernet - these are for the Due, and will not work on the Duet.

You should now be able to compile the code and upload the result to the Duet.

• Change A.RUNTIME.IDE.VERSION/value=155 to 154
• Change A.VERSION/value=1.5.5 to 1.5.4

Out of interest I have tried to compile the firmware with the 1.5.5 libraries. I just get a problem with network/ethernet.sam. Eclipse is reporting

Unresolved inclusion:
- fatal error: lwip/src/include/lwip/netif.h: No such file or directory

But it is there so anyone any idea what is going wrong?

Thanks
Alan

If you get disconnects on the USB, it is often due to interference on the USB, this is a commonly reported problem with many RepRap type setups. I find it happens when my fridge switches. Using better quality USB cables, shorter cables, a USB hub, or attaching ferrites to the cable all may help.

My firmware seems to be running stable now, even if the binary contents is different!
