Trouble importing Atmel ASF project [message #1715316]

Hi All,

I am new to Eclipse and am trying to use in a Linux environment to develop for an Atmel SAM D21 Explained Pro development board. The Atmel Software Framework has a led toggle demo project which I am trying to import into Eclipse so that I can build and run. However, Eclipse does not seem to recognize the demo project gcc files which are:

config.mk
Makefile
asf.h

Can anyone offer me some clues on how I can get Eclipse to recognize these files and make a project?

I am running Eclipse for C/C++ Developers, Mars.1 Release 4.5.1

Thanks,

Dallas

What kind of project is this? Autotools?
What exactly are you doing?

I don't let Eclipse run config files. It sometimes doesn't think they need to be run during a build probably because Eclipse isn't aware of some of the dependencies.

Instead, I import the code into a CDT makefile project
File ==> Import ==> C/C++==> Existing Code as Makefile Project.
(If it's an autotools project you could use the Autotools Project instead)
then use the makefile by selecting targets with the Target View.
Window ==> Show View ==> Make ==> Make Target
although all and clean are already available under Project as Build Project and Clean ...

Since it's usually rare to execute the config.mk more than once or twice I do that manually in a command window.

Don't know offhand why you have a problem with asf.h. Perhaps you could show why you think it's unrecognized.

Hi David,

Thank you for your reply and sorry for taking so long to answer your questions.

This is an Atmel embedded micro-controller project. Pardon my ignorance, because I have never used Atmel products or Eclipse before. I'm an old-fashioned Linux command-line tools guy, gnu make, gnu gcc etc.

Atmel has a demo project for the microcontroller board I am trying to use. I simply want to build this project and run it on my eval board. Atmel provides a Windows IDE which I believe is based on Eclipse. I am allergic to Windows, and just wanting to import this project into Linux / Eclipse, build, and run.

I'm not sure what kind of format this config.mk file is. I have attached for you to take a look at.

Thanks for your help!

Hi again David. Sorry to reply to my own post. I got things to work eventually. I was able to import the config.mk and Makefile into Eclipse in the manner you prescribed. Was able to build it successfully after updating the toolchain path. It's a miracle! Thanks for the tips.

Hi,

I am having the same issue but I can't seem to import the project to the workspace. Iam using eclipse CDT Mars on ubuntu 14.04.

Particularly, I have tried both importing existing projects into workspace and new project from makefile but still I can't get my project to be imported properly. Can someone please advise. (3rd day trying to install the toolchain for linux )
