[SOLVED!] Compiling without makefiles.

Post by enhering »

Hi.

I'm trying to write a script that compiles a simple code (see below) and uploads it to a BBB ModernDevice Arduino 328P based board. I want to use avr-gcc to compile and an USBtinyISP to upload the code.

The sample program is called test main.cpp and follows below:

Code: Select all

#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay.h>
 
int main(void) {

  DDRB = 0xff;
  DDRD = 0xff;
 
  while(1) {
    _delay_ms(1000);
    PORTB = 0xff;
    PORTD = 0xff;
    _delay_ms(1000);
    PORTB = 0x00;
    PORTD = 0x00;
  }

  return 0;
}
To build and link it I have written the following bash script adapted from pieces of makefiles:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

MCU=atmega328p
PROGRAMMER_MCU=m328p
AVRDUDE_PROGRAMMERID=usbtiny
AVRDUDE_PORT=""
AVRDUDE_BAUD="-b 57600"

HEXFORMAT=ihex

FLAGS="-fpack-struct -fshort-enums -funsigned-bitfields -funsigned-char -Wall -fno-exceptions"
DEFINES="-DF_CPU=16000000UL"
LINKS="-lm"
INCLUDES=""

#compiles the code
avr-gcc -c -mmcu=$MCU -O1 $FLAGS $DEFINES $LINKS $INCLUDES \
                testmain.cpp --output testmain.elf

#transforms it into hex format
avr-objcopy -j .text  -j .data -O $HEXFORMAT testmain.elf testmain.hex

#uploads it to Arduino board
avrdude -c $AVRDUDE_PROGRAMMERID -v  \
             -p $PROGRAMMER_MCU $AVRDUDE_PORT \
             -e $AVRDUDE_BAUD -U flash:w:testmain.hex

The result I get from AVRDUDE is:

which shows that the code has been uploaded successfully.

But the LEDs do not blink. Am I missing something?

SOLVED!

This code works and you do not need to use mystic makefiles:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

MCU=atmega328p
PROGRAMMER_MCU=m328p
AVRDUDE_PROGRAMMERID=usbtiny
AVRDUDE_PORT=""
AVRDUDE_BAUD="-b 57600"

HEXFORMAT=ihex

FLAGS="-fpack-struct -fshort-enums -funsigned-bitfields -funsigned-char -Wall -fno-exceptions"
DEFINES="-DF_CPU=16000000UL"
LINKS="-lm"
INCLUDES=""

#compiles the code
avr-gcc -mmcu=$MCU -O1 $FLAGS $DEFINES $LINKS $INCLUDES \
            testmain.cpp -o testmain.out

#transforms it into hex format
avr-objcopy -j .text -O $HEXFORMAT testmain.out testmain.hex

#uploads it to Arduino board
avrdude -c $AVRDUDE_PROGRAMMERID -v  \
             -p $PROGRAMMER_MCU $AVRDUDE_PORT \
             -e $AVRDUDE_BAUD -U flash:w:testmain.hex

avr-gcc -c -mmcu=$MCU -O1 $FLAGS $DEFINES $LINKS $INCLUDES \
testmain.cpp --output testmain.elf
The "-c" switch given to the compiler means "compile only, do not link." So it won't produce a properly relocated and executable binary (although the .o format for intermediate compiled code is the same as the .elf file for final binaries, as far as objcopy is concerned, so you won't get errors in the subsequent steps.)
