@ -6,8 +6,11 @@ Arduino IO Interface Board for EIVE
This is the software for an Arduino board to set it up as an interface board.
The interface board will be used to relay commands from a host computer serial
interface to connected I2C or SPI sensors. This allows device handler testing
on a host machine. The software can either be compiled and programmed on the Arduino withmake and avrdude, provided the AVR GCC toolchain is installed, or built and flashed using
Eclipse with the Sloeber plugin. It is recommended to use Sloeber for enhanced convenience, as it takes care of the building process. It is also integrated into Eclipse, which has a powerful indexer and several other tools to ease development.
on a host machine. There are 2 options to build and flash an Arduino with this repository:
1. The software is compiled and programmed on the Arduino with make and avrdude, provided the AVR GCC toolchain is installed
2. Eclipse with the Sloeber plugin is used. The plugin and Eclipse take care of the build management, and an Arduino IDE like interface is provided in Eclipse
It is recommended to use Sloeber for enhanced convenience, as it takes care of the building process. Furthermore, the interface is similar to the Arduino IDE, which lowers the entry barrier for new developers. It is also integrated into Eclipse, which has a powerful indexer and several other tools to ease development.
