mDot EVB and Attolic TrueStudio

[Adrian Mitevski]

Could anyone of you tell me how i can program the mDot EVB inside Attolic using the libmDot. Btw. I’m using Windows. I would really appreciate if anyone could give some instructions what I have to do.

I tried to export the LoRaConnect Example from mBed Compiler as a zip file and added the files manually to a Project inside Attolic. But it doesn’t seem to work as the compiler can’t find a reference to mbed::mDot::getInstance().

Hi Adrian,

What toolchain are you using? I’d guess GCC with Attolic.

If that’s the case, the reason your build is probably failing because the mbed exporter gave you the ARMCC build of the mDot library. Try replacing it with the GCC build, which can be found here

Version 1.0.8-1 of the mDot library is currently the latest release.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Mike

Thanks for your answer.

Are there any instructions for Windows User I don’t have any Linux. I only got a .tar3 file if I extract the download file of the libmdot. What do I have to do with it?

Adrian,

Try 7-Zip:

Hi Mike,

Thanks, I was able to extract and added the files to my project containing the other mbed related files. But I still get the same message undefined reference to mDot::getInstance(). I’m sure I added all the necessary include paths to the project properties. I’ve also chosen the GCC (ARM Embedded) Option when I exported the other mbed code from the mbed compiler.

Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Do you have any template projects for attolic that works?

[Mike Fiore]

We don’t have any templates, unfortunately.

Have you added the mDot library itself to your project in addition to the headers and other source files?

[Adrian Mitevski]

Yes excactly. I’ve created a new source folder named libmDot and copied the extracted files into this folder. Then I added the necessary include paths for the newly added libmDot files.

I also did the same for the other files exported from mbed compiler before i added the libmDot.

You said you exported for GCC, but you never said what toolchain Attolic is using to compile. Is Attolic using GCC or something else?

[Adrian Mitevski]

Properties>>C/C++ Build>>Tool Chain Editor>>

Current toolchain: Attolic ARM Tools

This means I’m not using GCC?

[Mike Fiore]

Adrian,

Based on the website, it sounds like they use GCC by default:

That being said, we don’t support Atollic for the MTDOT-EVB. You might be able to get it to work, but we don’t have any guides or instructions.

A compromise might be to use Atollic to browse and edit your source code and then use the mbed SDK tools to build your application. We have a wiki page on mbed that explains how to use the mbed SDK tools:

Cheers,

Mike
