Mbed CE Hello World using Batch/bash files with Eclipse tutorial

This project implements a basic hello world using Mbed OS Community Edition. Use it as an example or a starting place for your own projects! Use the batch or bash file to compile. You need to change the project name inside the CMakeList.txt file. Under /src you can put your project files.

To set up this project, follow these steps:

1. Clone it to your machine. Don't forget to use --recursive to clone the submodules: git clone --recursive https://github.com/MariwanJ/mbed-ce-hello-world
2. You may want to update the mbed-os submodule to the latest version, with cd mbed-os && git pull origin master
3. Set up the GNU ARM toolchain (and other programs) on your machine using the toolchain setup guide.
4. Set up the CMake project for editing. We have three ways to do this:
   • On the command line
   • Using the CLion IDE
   • Using the VS Code IDE
5. Build the flash-HelloWorld target to upload the code to a connected device.
6. Batch or Bash files uses 20 threads for compiling source code. Increase or decrease that as you wish (-j 20)

This Version:

I have made some changes to the file structure. Now, your project files should be placed inside the '/src' folder instead of the root directory. In my opinion, project files shouldn't be located directly in the root.

Additionally, I have included a PDF document that provides instructions for configuring Eclipse to compile and debug your project. By using OpenOCD, the binary file will be automatically uploaded when you start debugging. Alternatively, you can manually copy the bin file into the virtual Nucleo flash memory, which will install the binary inside the Nucleo module. Another option is to use the stm32 utility to upload the project.

Please note that I don't have access to other boards or modules. Feel free to update this readme and contribute to this version in order to make it more general.

Mbed studio, or Visual studio code, IMHO, is not a proper IDE for debugging mbed projects. Feel free to contribute to this copy or the original.

Notes:

• Inside your cpp file under /src do not use #include <balbla.h> , you should write the include with quotation marks .i.e. #include "balbla.h".
• You must include the libraries you use in the cmake file. I updated the cmake file and put place and note how to do so. Look at the documentations also here https://github.com/mbed-ce/mbed-os/wiki/MbedOS-configuration#configuration-via-cmake-files
• The PDF provides instructions on configuring Eclipse for debugging and compiling. Please note that the images inside the PDF are based on a project using the NUCLEO-F207ZG hardware. You should customize the names, script files, etc. to match your own hardware. If you cannot find an OpenOCD script, you can either write one yourself or search for it online. I have personally created a script for the F2X board, as OpenOCD does not include it by default.
