Download
- Download this virtual hard disk file from Sourceforge
- Unzip the virtual hard disk to somewhere safe and permanent, such as C:/Documents/sjsu_vm/
Setup VM on VirtualBox
- Download and install VirtualBox for your operating system (Windows, MacOS etc.)
- Install and run VirtualBox
- Click on NEW
- Give your VM (virtual machine) a name
- Select the Type as Linux
- Select Version as Ubuntu (64-bit) and click Continue
- Choose 2560 or more MB of RAM and click Continue
- Choose Use an existing virtual hard disk file and browse to the VM disk you downloaded, and then click Create
Configure VM
- Click on the VM you created in VirtualBox, then click Settings
- Go to Advanced and under Shared Clipboard, select Bidirectional
- Click on System and ensure 2560 Mbytes (2.5 GBytes) or greater RAM (assuming your laptop has at least 8 Gbytes or so
- If your system allows, use 2 CPUs under Processor
- Under Display use 128Mbytes of RAM
- Under Audio, de-select to disable Audio
Setup COM port on VM
- Start your Ubuntu OS
- Plugin your USB cable to the board and ensure your board has power
- After the system boots, go to Devices on VirtualBox menu, then USB and select the USB board to virtually plug into the VM
Use Development Environment
- Open the SJSU_dev folder when the Ubuntu VM boots
- Double click on run_eclipse to start Eclipse IDE
- Develop your code and hit Ctrl + B to compile in Eclipse
- Ensure the program has compiled successfully
- Right click anywhere (but not on a file) in SJSU_dev folder and then click on Open terminal
- Type sudo ./run_flash to program the compiled HEX file to the board
- Note that this assumes you have a file built at projects/lpc1758_freertos/_build/lpc1758_freertos.hex
- Note that this assumes your serial port is at /dev/ttyUSB0
- If the assumptions above are not true, you can edit the run_flash file
Be an Engineer
- Figure out how to use Minicom on your own
- This will let you open up the serial port and interact with your board and see the Board's output data from printf()
