Hello 4DIAC Team,
I am using virtual machine with Ubuntu 16.04 version to install and cross compile forte for Wago PFC 200 by following the tutorial "Installation/Forte for WagoPFCs".
I am having some errors during installation of WAGO-PFC-BSP-2018.2.1.
According to tutorial step this;

2.4) Let the package manager list available toolchains for the cortexa8 (just to see if repository is working correctly).

>apt-cache search cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf

I am supposed to see the repository working but it doesn´t show anything after the command entered "apt-cache search cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf" and after step 2.5,

2.5) Install "oselas.toolchain-2012.12.1-arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf-...

>sudo apt-get install oselas.toolchain-2012.12.1-arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.7.3-glibc-2.16.0-binutils-2.22-kernel-3.6-sanitized
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repository will install the cross toolchain into folder:
/opt/OSELAS.Toolchain-2012.12.1/arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-4.7.3-glibc-2.16.0-binutils-2.22-kernel-3.6-sanitized/bin/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am facing some errors which are shown in screenshot I shared. Please have a look and help me out.
Thanks a lot for your support

Best Regards
Obaid Khan

if the apt-cache search does not show a list of supported toolchains it means that the step in 2.1 or 2.3 didn't work as it should. Could you recheck if apt-get update checks for updates at http://debian.pengutronix.de/debian/?

Hi,

it looks like that somehow you created a directory '/ect/apt/soruces.list.d/pengutronix.list'
How I would proceed is to delete this directory and recrating this file. I personally prefere to use the editor nano which I think is installed per default in ubuntu.
nano /etc/apt/soruces.ist.d/pengutronix.list
and place there the line
deb http://debian.pengutronix.de/debian/ sid main contrib non-free

save it and close it.
you can afterwards checkt with the less command (less /etc/apt/soruces.ist.d/pengutronix.list) if you have the correct content in your file.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Alois

Hello,

The directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pengutronix.list' is unable to delete from my system as it is saved in Computer (Please check the attachments). From nano editor when i tried to save the file it gives 'Permission denied'.

Hi,

you can only perform changes there with super user rights. So you have to do the following in a console:

sudo su
cd /etc/apt/source.list.d
rm -rf pengutronix.list
nano pegnutronix.list

I hope this helps,
Alois

Hello Mr. Alois,
Thanks a lot for the help and support. It is solved and now I am at step "(7.1) Compile all packages of PFC firmware" from the same tutorial "How to install WAGO-PFC-BSP". During compilation I was having some errors. Please have a look at an attachment file.
Is this step 7.1 is also the last step for installing WAGO-PFC-BSP? and then I should proceed to Building FORTE for WAGO tutorial?

Best Regards
Obaid Khan

hi, as I understood the documentation (I haven't build forte on wago myself yet) this is the last step. However you have to find out the root-cause of your issue. For that normally you need to find the first error in your console output. Which I don't see on your screenshot.

Hello Mr. Alois,
I tried this command "sudo apt-get install libtool" but it shows that I already had the newest version installed. Please have a look at screen shot as an attachment. After this when I tried again "ptxdist go -q". The result is still the same.

Hi ,

I have not yet tried the latest wago build by myself. From the last build I tried, I remember the dependency of Ubunutu 14.01 LTS 32 bit for a flawless build.
Could you please check this with the latest build system?

cheers
Milan

Hi,

I could not check the latest BSP because of my limited internet connectivity. The dependency I mentioned is based on my last experience with BSP released in 2017. Eventhough I am not sure about Ubuntu version 14/16, I would say 32 bit version is a must. Please verify this from the installation guide coming along with the BSP WAGO-PFC-BSP-2018.2.1\HowTo_Install_WAGO-PFC-BSP-2018.2.1.txt". Hope this helps.

Hello Milan,

Thanks a lot for your time and support.
I am already following the tutorial (How to install WAGO-PFC-BSP-latest) but I was using Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit LTS. As you mentioned that 32 bit version is must so I tried in Ubuntu 14.05 32 bit LTS and I think it works. I am still not sure that either all packages were installed or not. So I took some of the screen shots during compilation in step "7.1" (Compile all packages of PFC firmware) of the tutorial (How to install WAGO-PFC-BSP-latest).

Please have a look at the screen shots as an attachment for verification of warnings, errors and successful compilation.
How would we know that all the necessary packages are installed?

Best Regards
Obaid

Hello Obaid,

Good to know that it worked for you. Your last screen shot shows that your BSP installation is complete and is ready to use. As far as I understood, the BSP checks for all the necessary packages, so you can ignore the warnings. You can try with some sample projects or directly forte installation at this stage. Hopefully it should work.

Cheers
Milan

Hello Milan,
Now I am trying to do installation for Building FORTE as following the tutorial. Step 1 says;

1. Create forte_wago project in PTXDist: From FORTE/buildsupport/wago_pfc200/, copy the rule files forte_wago.in and forte_wago.make to wago/ptxproj-2.2.20/rules (creates a new package). Within the copied rule file .../ptxproj-2.2.20/forte_wago.make edit the line FORTE_WAGO_URL: file:///<path to FORTE main directory> to the absolute path of your FORTE main directory. To (de)activate specific modules (library parts) of FORTE edit .../ptxproj-2.2.20/wago.make line FORTE_WAGO_CONF_OPT := ...

I have question from line "Within the copied rule file .../ptxproj-2.2.20/forte_wago.make edit the line FORTE_WAGO_URL: file:///<path to FORTE main directory> to the absolute path of your FORTE main directory."Which path I have to give here?

Also when I tried to open the dialogue it shows that "ptxdist: error: refusing to run PTXdist as root"

I have attached screen shot as an attachment. Please have a look at it.
Thanks a lot
BR

Hello Obaid,

1) The path FORTE_WAGO_URL: file:///<path to FORTE main directory> , should point to the directory where you placed(downloaded) the forte source

2) The command ptxdist will work only from the specific directory where you installed the BSP, for exmaple Wago2018/ptxdist-xxx. And make sure you execute this as a normal user and not as root.

Hope this will help.

Hi Milan,

Thanks a lot for your support.

As you said in step " (1) The path FORTE_WAGO_URL: file:///<path to FORTE main directory> " I have to point the directory where FORTE source is downloaded. But I am now building FORTE for WAGO PLC, so how would I will know that which path to mention here?

Ptxdist command line had worked. I was executing it with the root user not with normal user. Thanks once again...

In step 3,
> cd wago/ptxproj-2.8.26
> ptxdist targetinstall forte_wago
I am facing following errors and it is hard for me to identify it. Please have a look on screen shot as attachment for identification of an error.

Hi Obaid,

FORTE_WAGO is just a random name we used for the project, and FORTE_WAGO_URL refers to the source of the project. You are cross compiling wago BSP along with forte from your ubuntu virtual machine. So in your case the source is the forte source you downloaded in your virtual machine. In my machine it looks something like this, FORTE_WAGO_URL:= file:///home/org.eclipse.4diac.forte.

Unfortunately I cannot see your attachment and thus the rest of the description

As the message in your screenshot above says. You should not run ptxdist as user root. Does it change when you run it as normal user?

Hi Milan,

I don´t have the FORTE source in my ubuntu virtual machine or any URL with this name "org.eclipse.4diac.forte". Does it comes along with 4DIAC-IDE when we download it or we have to build separately ?

I have one more information to add that in future I will going to use 4diac OPC UA communication features as a communication protocol between RPI and WAGO PLC. I had already build FORTE with Open62541 source code in my Ubuntu virtual machine. In past, I also asked the question in group about that possibility and I got the answer YES it is possible as we have to cross compile both FORTE.

For step 3 error (ptxdist targetinstall forte_wago), I am attaching screen shots again. Please have a look at them. I hope it will be visible this time.

Alois = Yes it changed when I executed it with normal user. It was showing error when I was running it with root user.

Thanks a lot
Obaid

Hi Obaid,

You have to download the 4diac rte(forte) source from the following link https://www.eclipse.org/4diac/en_dow.php. Please get it and place it somewhere in your virtual machine and point FORTE_WAGO_URL to this directory.

From the screenshot, I did not understand how you were able to compile without specifying any source. Could you please make a try with the latest source as shown above?
Building open62541 is also possible following the same procedure for cross compiling. You can also check it in Wago howtos.

Hello Milan,

I have downloaded forte rte source code and tried it, but the result is still same. I am still having the same error which I was facing before during compilation of command (> ptxdist targetinstall forte_wago).

Please have a look at the screen shots that either the forte source and its URL is correct?

With the 4DIAC-ide download from website (https://www.eclipse.org/4diac/en_dow.php.) we don´t have the build-In RTE in it. So I download it from clone source as (git clone -b develop git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/4diac/org.eclipse.4diac.forte.git).

Thanks a lot

The compiler error you had before was a bug in the forte code. It was fixed in branch 1.9.x. please, go into your org.eclipse.4diac.forte folder in the terminal and execute 
git checkout 1.9.x
. If you then compile, you shouldn't get the error

Hello Jose Maria,

Thanks for your time and support.
I have tried to execute the command "git checkout 1.9.x" from the desired terminal "org.eclipse.4diac.forte" and then execute the command for compilation,
> cd wago/ptxproj-2.8.26
> ptxdist targetinstall forte_wago
but I still have the errors. I have attached the screenshots of both the commands output after execution and compilation. Please find it as an attachment.

Hello Obaid,

After making any changes in your source, you have to rebuild the project. You can do this as follows, 
#Remove all previously created time stamps from your project.
ptxdist clean forte_wago
#Rebuild as normal 
ptxdist targetinstall forte_wago

Hope this solve your problem.

Hello Milan and Jose,

I have a question to ask. I am now following the tutorial as mentioned above "Build and Debug FORTE remotely on Wago PFC with Eclipse" and I am on step:
"Within the Remote System Explorer perspective create a New Connection by clicking on New Connection button. Choose Linux and press Next. Enter the IP of our Wago PFC as Host name and type any Connection Name e.g. wagoPFC200 and press finish".

My question is what is the IP of our Wago PFC? How I could find the IP address.

Thanks a lot
Sincerely,
Obaid

Hello 4DIAC Team,
I still have the same question to ask which was my last message. Please help me out if someone knows about it.
Does for the step "Enter the IP of our Wago PFC as Host name", I have to connect PLC for that also?
I have one more question to ask as I am new to PLC communicating, so I have a lack of knowledge.
If in case we don´t need to connect the PLC for step "Enter the IP of our Wago PFC as Host name", then when or which step I have to connect the controller to my PC?

I will be very thankful for your support.

Best Regards
Obaid

Hello Obaid,

Please refer to your Wago PFC manual, to learn how to set a custom IP/ use the fixed IP from Wago. Once you set the IP of your PFC make sure you can ping your PFC from your PC. You do not need to connect your Wago PFC when you enter the static parameters in Eclipse remote system explorer. Once you set up everything, you can connect to your PFC remotely using remote system explorer "connect" button.

Also please note that "building using Eclipse CDT is only an alternative to directly building and running forte from terminals using PTXDist. Eclipse based build is recommended when you need remote debugging of forte from your PC using Eclipse or when you feel more comfortable with Eclipse based build (using again PTXdist as build environment) than a PTXdist build from terminal.

If you have already built forte using PTXDist, after setting IP of your PFC, you can use tools like "Putty" for communicating with your PFC and and also for transferring forte executables you built using PTXDist.

Hope this helps.
Milan
