Development tools

Download the arm-none-eabi-gcc-4.9 toolchain from the GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain project (currently tested with the 14.07 release https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+milestone/4.9-2014-q4-major ).

Extract the archive (e.g. to ~/toolchains ).

Update your PATH to find the newly installed toolchain. In your ~/.profile (for bash) or your ~/.zshrc (for zsh) , add

PATH="$HOME/toolchains/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9-2014q4/bin:$PATH"

Restart your session so that is sourced again, and verify that you are running the correct arm-none-eabi-gcc version:

$ arm-none-eabi-gcc --version

If you want to use an IDE like Code::Blocks, you can configure it to use the newly installed toolchain.

• Settings > Compiler
• Copy “GNU GCC Compiler”, call the new compiler “Quimesis ARM Linux Compiler”
• Toolchain executables:
  • Compiler's installation directory: $HOME/toolchain/usr/bin
  • C compiler: arm-linux-gcc
  • C++ compiler: arm-linux-g++
  • Linker for dynamic libs: arm-linux-g++
  • Linker for static libs: arm-linux-ar

When you create your project in Code::Blocks, be sure to select the “Quimesis ARM Linux Compiler”.

To use the CANUSB module :

1. Connect CAN_L (pin2), CAN_H (pin7) and CAN_GND (pin3) (see http://www.can232.com/?page_id=16)
2. Follow this step-by-step guide to install the Lawicel CANUSB adapter on Linux (mainly step 1 to 6) : http://pascal-walter.blogspot.com/2015/08/installing-lawicel-canusb-on-linux.html

In brief :

• Install can-utils package :

sudo apt-get install can-utils

• Check if the kernel modules “can”, “can_raw” and “slcan” are already loaded using lsmod. If not

sudo modprobe can
sudo modprobe can_raw
sudo modprobe slcan

Make them load automatically :

sudo nano /etc/modules

Add the three modules “can”, “can_raw” and “slcan” to the list (each goes in one line).

• Bind the CANUSB device (on port /dev/ttyUSB0) to the slcan interface (slcan0) and set up baud rate to 1Mbit/s (-s8) :

sudo slcand -o -c -f -s8 /dev/ttyUSB0 slcan0

• Bring the slcan interface up :

sudo ifconfig slcan0 up

• To intercept CAN messages (sended and received) :

candump slcan0

• To send a CAN message (for CAN 2.0 frames, max 8 bytes separated by '.' and given in hex format) :

cansend slcan0 <ID>#<byte1>.<byte2>.<...>.<byte8>

To be used with i2c-devantech-iss kernel module, to access a dedicated /dev/i2c-x device on one's Linux desktop.

Then you can use the /dev/i2c-x device directly, or request another kernel module to use it:

echo <your_module> <device_address> > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-<x>/new_device

When using zsh, the latest command may result into failure zsh: file exists: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-<x>/new_device; in that case, just switch to bash, and the same command will succeed.

On Ubuntu, can be used with the GetThermal interface.

Normally foressen to work with Android.

But can be used on Linux using flir-gtk¹⁾.
