FINALGROM99 Building the card but sofware related questions


repetto74

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I am in the process of building the FINALGROM99 card as I do feel confident now with smd soldering after some successfull trials. Despite the fact that I am ok with the hardware part I do have a weak side which is sofware related. 

As explained by Ralph on his GitHub, a compile action is needed to build the files to be used to program both the Atmega328 and the CPLD. I do have installed Python 2.7 and downloaded the xdt99 suite but I am stuck as I do not know exactly where to insert the first command line :

$ cd ti/

$ ./make.py

 

Is that from the python console or the Windows 10 console??

Is there a more detailed guide on how to compile the files??

 

Thanks 

Rick

Those commands are written for either Linux or Mac. On Windows, use the Windows Command Prompt and use backslashes instead of forward slashes. You need to be in the root of the repository (wherever you cloned or unzipped the download) before running the commands.

Thanks a lot for your explanation InfiniteTape this looks more clear to me now. 

I do have a mac so I tried to compile (I have installed Python 2.7.17 OSX) using the Terminal. I do get this error.

You need to have xdt99 installed and in your path. Add a line like this to the file ~/.bash_profile

export PATH=/Users/brian/Documents/endlos99/xdt99:$PATH

Be sure to load a fresh terminal after you make that change.

 

Then you'll need to update the make.py file to point to the xdt99 lib files. Near the top of the file, you'll see a line like this:

xas = ["xas99.py", "-b", "-R", "-I", "/Users/brian/Documents/endlos99/xdt99/lib/"]

Change that path to the path to your xdt99/lib folder.

Hi InfiniteTape,

 

Ok the second part where I have to update the make.py Python executable is fine. I can use Pycharm installed on OSX and update the path to the lib folder of the xdt99 main folder.

The first part I do not catch exactly how I am supposed to install the xdt99? I have downloaded a folder as per attached screenshot. Where can I find the ~/.bash_profile file in order to add the PATH to xdt99 folder?

 

Sorry for asking my knowledge on unix command lines is somehow limited.

Rick

.bash_profile or .profile are hidden files in your home directory. (All Unix files starting with a period are hidden; show them with ls -a.) It depends on the Unix flavor and used shell which of the files actually set the PATH. You can use any text editor to change them.

Thanks mizapf. 

ls -a will list hidden files then I had to set the option to show hidden files on Mac OS High Sierra and I do have this file visible now :-). Ok I will try with the guide of InfiniteTape and cross my fingers ?

I went a step further but getting a different error when compiling....

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./make.py", line 11, in <module>

    if call(xas + ["menu.a99"], shell=False):

  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 172, in call

    return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait()

  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 394, in __init__

    errread, errwrite)

  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1047, in _execute_child

    raise child_exception

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

 

Here is below the batch profile file :

 

 

# Setting PATH for Python 3.7
# The original version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

# Setting PATH for Python 2.7
# The original version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

export PATH="/Users/Desktop/finalgrom99/xdt99:${PATH}"
 

maybe a syntax mistake on the added line ?

Can you do the following command and post the output? I'm wondering if there's a file executable bit problem.

 


ls -l /Users/Desktop/finalgrom99/xdt99

For some reason, your py files aren't marked as executable. Run this command in that folder.

 


chmod +x *.py

 

That did the trick apparently ?

Now I tried step 2 with the compile of the microcontroller and bootloader code in avr/

 

Getting again an error message. I suppose that the bash_profile file needs to be updated also?

You'll need the AVR toolchain installed. You can get it through Homebrew.


brew install avr-gcc

But if you look a little further down in the FinalGROM, you'll need Windows or Linux to program the CPLD. Hopefully you have one available.

Thanks InfiniteTape :-). Yes I do have a WIndows 10 running through bootcamp on the Mac so it should be ok.

I will install this Homebrew package installer with this command /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

 

Then, brew install avr-gcc.

 

Sounds good ?

Well... Homebrew install went well but this is the result when I try to install avr-gcc ?. Could be the name of the avr package has changed?

Nope I tried to follow this the above installation guide but keep gettings errors.... ? I cannot install the avr-libc.

UPDATE: the command to run has changed, I need to run brew tap osx-cross/avr && brew install avr-gcc

 

That installed the avr-gcc succesfully apparently. Will test the compile now ?

@mizapf If you're using RPI linux how would you edit your path? This is the current hang up. I made sure I had 2.7 python installed but am getting the same error as above Errno 25c3b824c0efa8dcdf58a65db3b1c4d36.jpg

Assuming by "RPI linux" you mean Raspbian and that you haven't changed the defaults, you're likely running the bash shell. Try putting this in /home/pi/.bash_profile:

 

export PATH="/Users/pi/finalgrom99/xdt99-master:${PATH}"

I checked the for the file in the directory listed

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /home/pi/
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls -a
.              .claws-mail  .gnupg    .pp_backup   .Xauthority
..             .config      .local    .profile     .xsession-errors
.bash_history  Desktop      MagPi     Public       .xsession-errors.old
.bash_logout   Documents    Music     Templates
.bashrc        Downloads    Pictures  .thumbnails
.cache         finalgrom    .pki      Videos
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ 

Couldn't find the file. Is there a way to create it?

 

oh damn my work buddy reformatted this to Buster... ok lemme put Raspbian on here.

The config files are ".profile", ".bashrc", or ".bash_profile". To clarify: The ".profile" file is executed when you log into your machine, and it applies to various shells (including the bash, which you seem to use). The ".bash_profile" is a specific bash configuration file which overrides the ".profile". So if you have a ".profile", you do not need a .bash_profile. The .bashrc file is executed whenever you open a shell; this may happen many times after you log into your machine.

 

So you have to add the "PATH" setting to the end of your .profile. Either you open the file with an editor of your choice (I suppose it is not vi ? ), write

 

export PATH=$PATH:/home/pi/finalgrom99/xdt99-master

 

as the last line, save it. Or you do the following outside of the editor, in the shell:

 

echo "export PATH=$PATH:/home/pi/finalgrom99/xdt99-master" >> .profile

 

The ">>" adds the echoed text to the end of the file specified behind. Then log out and log in again.
