ShieldBuddy TC275 Arduino add-in v1.16 now released!

Hello,

I'm trying to start using the aurduino shieldbuddy.
Following the Hitex shieldbuddy getting started guide I've installed (in this order) :

1) the hightec free entry toolchain. (version in about section : 1.6.1.2015117 , version in download mentioned as 4.6.6.0)
2) the 1.6.11 Arduino IDE
3) the ShieldBuddy multicore IDE. version 1.16

Must admit that I'm usually not very lucky when it comes to using Eclipse in general.

After that I'm running into several problems :

1) Although the compiler does succesfully compiles the AurduinoMultiCoreUser - BoardEOLtest ,

It first comes up with a message that the Validation Service Check action was unsuccessful.
Details : Check HTC_DEVELOPMENT system environment variable.
and
Check HTC_LICENCES system environment variable.

2) Starting the PLS , UDE desktop after that , starts ok but after a short while always comes up with a licensing problem : UDELicenseServer check aborted.
With the license manager I can see severalStarterkit licenses entry's.

3) When using the Arduino IDE , the compiler comes up with :

Arduino: 1.6.11 (Windows 7), Board: "ShieldBuddyTC275"

WARNING: Category '' in library SPI is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'
WARNING: Category '' in library Wire is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'

This report would have more information with

option enabled in File -> Preferences.


Can you pleasy give me some hints at where to look for a solution ?

In the past I've learned using microcontrollers with the C167 in combination with the keil IDE.
Later that went on to the XE167 which I still use in one of my products.

Seeing this Aurix microcontroller now made me very interested in it.
Bit frustrating that I cannot get the tools working now.

Thanks ,

Started working on it by reinstaling on another PC (now W10 PC , was W7 laptop).
Comparing the Environment variables ,
now ok : HTC_DEVELOPMENT c:\Hightec was %HTC_DEVELOPMENT% on w7 laptop.
same HTC_LICENSES c:\Hightec\Licences was %HTC_LICENSES% on w7 laptop.

Did manually edit these two Environment variables on the laptop and now the initial
error is gone on both machines. Why this went wrong on the laptop ? i don't know.

Compiling now ok on both machines but still a problem when starting the UDE desktop.
When loading the? delivered target configuration : UDEDefEclipseWorkspace an error :

Target configuration file C:\Users\mbeach.HITEXUK\Documents\pls\UDE4.4\Targets\AppKit_TC275C_mcd.cgf
cannot be loaded! - Please select onather location!

How can I 'work around' this location dependency ?

I'm not very familiar with the tools yet.
Is it all right that I start the UDE debugger from outside Eclipse ? or should I do that an other way ?
Was just following the getting started tutorial.

Don't know yet or the Arduino IDE problem is still there.

Hello,

The Arduino IDE is working fine now but with still licensing problems when the UDE is started.
Same error's when starting from within or from outside the Eclipse IDE.



And on both machines , I followed registration and license files seperately with according MAC adresses.
ShieldBuddy is visible with both serial ports with W10 device manager.

No clue how to get any further with this.

Hi everyone,

I just recieve the ShieldBuddy board, and already I have a problem as ptqfp144, but my system variables are obviously correct:

Variable name: HTC_DEVELOPMENT
Variable value: %HTC_DEVELOPMENT%

Variable name: HTC_LICENSES
Variable value: %HTC_LICENSES%

When I start the compilation in Arduino (1.6.13) iI still get the error:

WARNING: Category '' in library SPI is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'
WARNING: Category '' in library Wire is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'
C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\arduino-builder returned 1,073,741,855
Error compiling for board ShieldBuddyTC275.

Any one any clue why is that?

Hi,

We have now tested the ShieldBuddy add-in with Arduino IDE v1.6.13 under Windows7 and it works OK. It looks like the compiler is not running as there is probably still an environment variable problem. Do you have administrator rights to install programs?

Hi everyone,
I just installed in this order (with admin rights): Arduino IDE v1.6.13 on Windows 10, with the Toolchain v4.6.6.0 and ShieldBuddyMulticoreIDE, and still not working. Variables are set lke this:
Variable name: HTC_DEVELOPMENT
Variable value: C:\HighTec

Variable name: HTC_LICENSES
Variable value: C:\HighTec\licenses
I still have the same error when compiling.
