Arduino IO Interface Board for EIVE

General Information

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.

Instructions to build with make

Prerequisites

  1. When compiling on a Windows system, make sure the Windows Development Tools are installed and added to the system path.This is required for make to work.

  2. Install the AVR toolchain for your OS

  3. If building the binary with make, initiate the contained arduino_core submodule and the required core contained within that submodule by running

git submodule update --init --recursively

Build Instructions

  1. Run following command to build the software
make all -j
  1. Run following command to clean up the directories
make clean -j
