I installed the c++ version of Eclipse, Eclipse c++ IDE for Arduino 3.0 and the Arduino AVR board platform. When I start a new Arduino project, enter a name and use the default location, the Finish button enables, but when I press it, nothing happens. The same setup on Windows works fine. Is the Mac version still a work in progress?
I have installed Eclipse Oxgen and plugin and it's not work.Bug for arduino.h ; why? I installed and it is not functional; why do not many people say that it does not work? can you get your job done? Thank you
I would love if someone would contribute to this open source project and add Arduino Library support. If you're interested raise a bug and we can start the discussions there.
Hi! I'm using Eclipse Oxygene on Ubuntu with the Eclipse C++ IDE for Arduino plugin. In order to program an Arduino Nano clone I have to set the baudrate to 57600. But I did not find any option to alter the baudrate neither in Eclipse nor in the system configuration. It always uses 115200. I guess this is hard coded?!
I have used the ArduinoCDT plugin for about a year on my Mac. Using it on Uno boards or Uno like boards without any problems. Also using it on a DFRobot board (Romeo4Edison), which includes an Intel Edison. I was able to hack the upload scripts "cluploadEdison_osx.sh" to enable upload using the wifi ability of the Edison.
I started using the Plugin on the Arduino Robot-Control board but wasn't able to upload to the board.
This board serial port needs to be set in accept upload mode by opening the port at 1200bps. That works fine from the Arduino-IDE. There is an option to use the use the reset button on the board twice within a vew seconds to set boards serial port to accept upload mode. But that isn't very robust and sometimes put the board in a non responsive state which is only resolved by burning the boot loader again.
This to show you I have tried to work arround it using stuff available.
So I downloaded the Java source code of the Arduino IDE and reversed engineerd what they did to get the board in accept upload mode.
I then scripted that functionality in a bash script.
So my mode is now:
1) compile the code.
2) have an command console open, run my script.
3) Successfull execution allows me to upload the code to the board.
Would it be posible to get this functionlity fixed or included in a next release?
Best regards,
Jacob
And here the script:
#!/bin/sh
#
ME=`basename "$0"`
echo "$ME: starting script"
#
echo "$ME: find the Arduino port"
ARDUINO_UPLOAD_PORT="$(find /dev/cu.usbmodem* 2>/dev/null | head -n 1)"
if [ ! -e "$ARDUINO_UPLOAD_PORT" ]
then
echo "$ME: No port available"
exit
fi
echo "$ME: port "$ARDUINO_UPLOAD_PORT""
# reset the Arduino
echo "$ME: reset the Arduino"
stty -f "${ARDUINO_UPLOAD_PORT}" 1200
echo "$ME: wait to give the board time to reboot"
sleep 0.4
echo "wait for it..."
while :; do
sleep 0.25
[ -c "${ARDUINO_UPLOAD_PORT}" ] && break
echo "$ME: going"
done
echo "$ME: Press Upload now !"
I'm using Eclipse Oxygen on Windows 7. Problem is, whenever I want to reflash the Arduino (Uno) while serial console is open, it gives an error stating "avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM13": Access is denied."
I've figured it out that I have to first click on the disconnect button (in command shell) then hit the flash button. But in the youtube video tutorial you provided, it seems the plugin automatically closes the serial port before upload and the reopens it.
for some reasons I'm not able to download any package from the download manager. It says ( I have removed the "http's" ):
Error loading arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
When I open the link in a browser everything looks good ( it's not a proxy or firewall issue ).
I have successfully installed this plugin and built some of the earlier Arduino codes smoothly. I do have question about code suggestion for all the Arduino functions like pinMode, digitalWrite etc. That is one of the major reason why I turned away from original Arduino IDE. So, is it possible to get code suggestions for all the arduino functions?
I have the Eclipse C++ IDE for Arduino installed in Neon. My Arduino is an Arduino M0 pro (and thus my platform package the Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+). Originally, (with version 1.6.6 of the package) everything was fine. But after an update of the platform, suddenly the IDE cannot find the include files (especially Arduino.h) anymore. The compiler on the other hand still finds the includes.
The current version of the package is 1.6.14, but this is not the first version, where I noticed this problem for the first time. I noticed the problem with the previous update that I performed, but I don't know anymore, which version that was.
My Eclipse version is:
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3)
Build id: 20170314-1500
Yes, it seems to be the same problem. My System is an x86_64 Debian testing and the project is within the eclipse workspace. Otherwise, the descriptions match my problem.
I have installed this plugin and successfully programmed several types of Arduino board. However, I am having trouble programming a Sparkfun Pro Micro board (ATmega32U4 8 Mhz 3.3V). Sparkfun boards didn't show up in the platform list of the Arduino Downloads Manager, so I added the Sparkfun json file to the arduinoct directory, restarted Eclipse and was able to add them. When I try to program the Pro Micro board, I get the error listed below. I am able to program an Arduino Micro on /dev/ttyACMx, so it doesn't seem to be the (now fixed) connection bug. I can program the Pro Micro using the Arduino IDE, so the board is OK.

I'va just installed this plugin from Eclipse Marketplace on a fresh downloaded Eclipse Neon.2 CDT IDE. When I try to add a new "Connection" for my mega2560 board, I can't select a serial port (/dev/ttyACM0 in my case.) Also typing the port manually into the textfield and hitting the "OK" button doesn't work. The field stays empty when I open the connection from the "connection"-View with [RightClick]->Properties on the created connection. The board is recognised correctly by the vanilla Arduino-IDE. I'm running Kubuntu 16.04
Today I tried it with a NodeMCU (ESP8266) which is on /dev/ttyUSB0 and it works. It seems that simply /dev/ttyACM* is not configured in the plugin like other posters here mentioned. It would be great, to be able to manually fill out the "Serial Port" field. I could also use the "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB2.0-Serial-if00-port0" ports which are created on Ubuntu for each device.
Hi, I just installed this plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace on a freshly downloaded Eclipse Neon CDT IDE. When adding a connection for my Arduino Mega2560 board I can't select it (in my case it would be /dev/ttyACM0 ). When I try to type it manually and click the "OK" button it simply doesn't save my setting.
Great Plugin. Takes working with Arduino to a new level.
I have created some code that I would like to reuse in several variants for a number of mcu's. I would like to make some compile time configurations. I know that this has been addressed before but I am looking for a very simple solution. If I were able to add a define symbol as in a normal cdt project I could have the project build by selecting a specific include file. The plugin quite correctly removes these definitions.
My problem could easily be solved if the target connection were defined I.E. -DLAUNCH_TARGET. Then using #if's I could configure my variants at compile time.
Hello, I am having an issue with the plugin and windows, it apparently loses the libraries and platforms list in the " Arduino Download Manager". If I hit in updates, I get an error saying " No protocol:" clicking Details does not show anything more, only the same erro " No protocol:".
It does happens after building the project and almost all the references withing my project are highlighted in red; however, if I start a new project and include my code the references work fine, but as soon as I build it, they are gone again...
Great tool, I followed this video and have created and compiled my Arduino test project. But in the 3rd column my run target "Uno" is unavailable, I see only "Local" there. Of course I have created a lot of different connections and got "connected" message in terminal output. I am on Windows 10 x64 and had no problems with standard Arduino IDE and PlatformIO.
Yes, there was a version mismatch in the MarketPlace and what we shipped with CDT Neon.2. Doing a Check for Updates will give you the correct version. And the MarketPlace page has been updated properly.

I went through all of this. I eventually found a part of the setup that required running manually and after this and a restart of eclipse, lo and behold, my targets appeared. I was then able to compile and download a demo app but not run it. I gave up at this point and installed VisualMicro onto Visual Studio 2015. Worked straight out of the box and I was up and running in about 20 minutes.
This is my second attempt with Eclipse. First time was to do cross development on a Raspberry Pi and could never get that tool chain to work. That time I went to Netbeans and again was up and running in under an hour after weeks of faffing with eclipse. It's just too complicated and not in the least bit intuitive. Sorry chaps, needs a serious rethink.

I've followed the YouTube video to install Neon C++ for Arduino, have successfully built a "Hello world" sketch and all appears fine. Now to the real task...
May target board will be an Arduino Due. I have loaded the arm-none-eabi-gcc tool chain with the Arduino Download Manager but I can't find any way of selecting it as the active tool chain for my project. Project/Properties/Libraries/Platform Libraries are set to "Arduino SAM Boards" but the build insists on using the avr-gcc tools.
What am I missing?
This is probably similar to what I do to switch between targets...
To switch between Arduino (AVR) and ESP8266 (Expressif), I need to select the correct launch target in the launch bar (3rd dropdown box).
Do you have a launch target configured for the Due board?
Submitted by John Walters on Mon, 2017-01-23 11:40
Hi Paul,
My problem appears to be the same as Al Shiskin; the targets are simply not appearing in the launch Bar. All I have is Local and the option to create new targets. In similar vein, I can create targets that show up in the Connections tab and I can connect to them but that's about it.
Hello John,
One of the things I noticed in the beginning, was a problem in being able to select Arduino Project launch targets in the Launch Bar. I filed a CDT bug for this https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=500251.
I'm not sure if this is what you're experiencing, but if so I found that after opening a project in the project explorer, I had to 'restart' Eclipse. After the restart, the correct launch target showed up in the launch bar.
Hope this helps.
Paul.

I've followed the YouTube video to the letter and now have a fully functioning IDE that will build a demo project for an ATMega based board. Now for the real work....
The target board will be an Arduino Due with the Cortex M3 CPU. I've downloaded the SAM platform and now have the arm-none-eabi-gcc tool chain installed but I can't work out how to set up the project to use it. I've created a new Launch Target for the Due board but because I don't actually have a target processor connected at this time, it simply uses what appears to be the default tool chain.
How do I configure Eclipse / my project to use the correct tool set?
I am having trouble adding a new library, I know you don't have the option of creating your own library yet, but if the library is already written and on github, Is it possible to add it to the library index json file and download it with the Arduino Download manager? Adding the library in the arduinocdt folder does not work and if I modify the json file, It downloads automatically the old one when I try to search for libraries. The attempted methods in the forum does not work.
Do you allow the community to modify the json file to add new libraries? this could be a temporary fix until the private library option is added.
I responded to your forum posting with the details, but essentially check that you have a 'library.properties' file in the root folder of your library.
When one creates an Arduino project, there are a number of differences from what the IDE does for a standard C++ project:
The project Properties, C/C++ General group lacks the "Paths and Symbols" property group. Among the more useful missing properties are:
a. "Preprocessor Include Paths" settings not to mention that an "includes" folder is not created within the project tree (Next to "src" folder)
b. The "Libraries" and "Library Paths" property tabs are not supported, apparently.
Rather than simply explaining that these settings may be added in a future release, perhaps the author could explain his philosophy for omitting these settings. Was it an intentional design decision or simply omitted in these early releases?
Or possibly the "user defined library support" feature you eluded to in an earlier post.
I'm guessing that a user-defined-bootloader may also be required in such scenarios but I have no idea (yet) how compatible the boards may be or how universal a bootloader could be made...
Is a universal SAMD bootloader feasible? How different would it be from, say, an AVR?

Thanks for the great work and the rapid fix of my problem! Keep up the great work!

Good to hear. The bug report is here https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=509118. The fix was in the CDT's serial port plug-in. A link to the code review is in the bug.
Re: Can't set "Serial Port" on a Connection

Today I tried it with a NodeMCU (ESP8266) which is on /dev/ttyUSB0 and it works. It seems that simply /dev/ttyACM* is not configured in the plugin like other posters here mentioned. It would be great, to be able to manually fill out the "Serial Port" field. I could also use the "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB2.0-Serial-if00-port0" ports which are created on Ubuntu for each device.
Can't select a serial port for a connection.

Hi, I just installed this plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace on a freshly downloaded Eclipse Neon CDT IDE. When adding a connection for my Arduino Mega2560 board I can't select it (in my case it would be /dev/ttyACM0 ). When I try to type it manually and click the "OK" button it simply doesn't save my setting.
I'm running Kubuntu 16.04
Configuration/Variants
Submitted by Ken Clough on Wed, 2017-02-15 17:39
Great Plugin. Takes working with Arduino to a new level.
I have created some code that I would like to reuse in several variants for a number of mcu's. I would like to make some compile time configurations. I know that this has been addressed before but I am looking for a very simple solution. If I were able to add a define symbol as in a normal cdt project I could have the project build by selecting a specific include file. The plugin quite correctly removes these definitions.
My problem could easily be solved if the target connection were defined I.E. -DLAUNCH_TARGET. Then using #if's I could configure my variants at compile time.
Cheers,
Ken
Libraries and platform list got lost in Windows
Submitted by J C on Thu, 2017-02-02 04:05
Hello, I am having an issue with the plugin and windows, it apparently loses the libraries and platforms list in the " Arduino Download Manager". If I hit in updates, I get an error saying " No protocol:" clicking Details does not show anything more, only the same erro " No protocol:".
It does happens after building the project and almost all the references withing my project are highlighted in red; however, if I start a new project and include my code the references work fine, but as soon as I build it, they are gone again...
Have someone experienced this?
Thanks
Target is unavailable
Submitted by Al Shishkin on Sat, 2017-01-21 00:07
Great tool, I followed this video and have created and compiled my Arduino test project. But in the 3rd column my run target "Uno" is unavailable, I see only "Local" there. Of course I have created a lot of different connections and got "connected" message in terminal output. I am on Windows 10 x64 and had no problems with standard Arduino IDE and PlatformIO.

Yes, there was a version mismatch in the MarketPlace and what we shipped with CDT Neon.2. Doing a Check for Updates will give you the correct version. And the MarketPlace page has been updated properly.

I went through all of this. I eventually found a part of the setup that required running manually and after this and a restart of eclipse, lo and behold, my targets appeared. I was then able to compile and download a demo app but not run it. I gave up at this point and installed VisualMicro onto Visual Studio 2015. Worked straight out of the box and I was up and running in about 20 minutes.
This is my second attempt with Eclipse. First time was to do cross development on a Raspberry Pi and could never get that tool chain to work. That time I went to Netbeans and again was up and running in under an hour after weeks of faffing with eclipse. It's just too complicated and not in the least bit intuitive. Sorry chaps, needs a serious rethink.
Selecting the correct tool chain
Submitted by John Walters on Sat, 2017-01-07 15:47
I've followed the YouTube video to install Neon C++ for Arduino, have successfully built a "Hello world" sketch and all appears fine. Now to the real task...
May target board will be an Arduino Due. I have loaded the arm-none-eabi-gcc tool chain with the Arduino Download Manager but I can't find any way of selecting it as the active tool chain for my project. Project/Properties/Libraries/Platform Libraries are set to "Arduino SAM Boards" but the build insists on using the avr-gcc tools.
What am I missing?
Did you select the correct 'Launch Target' in the launch bar?
Submitted by Paul Carew on Thu, 2017-01-12 20:10
This is probably similar to what I do to switch between targets...
To switch between Arduino (AVR) and ESP8266 (Expressif), I need to select the correct launch target in the launch bar (3rd dropdown box).
Do you have a launch target configured for the Due board?
Targets not available
Submitted by John Walters on Mon, 2017-01-23 11:40
Hi Paul,
My problem appears to be the same as Al Shiskin; the targets are simply not appearing in the launch Bar. All I have is Local and the option to create new targets. In similar vein, I can create targets that show up in the Connections tab and I can connect to them but that's about it.
Re: Targets not available

Hello John,
One of the things I noticed in the beginning, was a problem in being able to select Arduino Project launch targets in the Launch Bar. I filed a CDT bug for this https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=500251.
I'm not sure if this is what you're experiencing, but if so I found that after opening a project in the project explorer, I had to 'restart' Eclipse. After the restart, the correct launch target showed up in the launch bar.
Hope this helps.
Paul.
Toolset selection
Submitted by John Walters on Fri, 2017-01-06 12:50
I've followed the YouTube video to the letter and now have a fully functioning IDE that will build a demo project for an ATMega based board. Now for the real work....
The target board will be an Arduino Due with the Cortex M3 CPU. I've downloaded the SAM platform and now have the arm-none-eabi-gcc tool chain installed but I can't work out how to set up the project to use it. I've created a new Launch Target for the Due board but because I don't actually have a target processor connected at this time, it simply uses what appears to be the default tool chain.
How do I configure Eclipse / my project to use the correct tool set?
About Libraries
Submitted by Dario Cimmino on Thu, 2016-12-15 22:59
Hello,
I am having trouble adding a new library, I know you don't have the option of creating your own library yet, but if the library is already written and on github, Is it possible to add it to the library index json file and download it with the Arduino Download manager? Adding the library in the arduinocdt folder does not work and if I modify the json file, It downloads automatically the old one when I try to search for libraries. The attempted methods in the forum does not work.
Do you allow the community to modify the json file to add new libraries? this could be a temporary fix until the private library option is added.
Thanks for the plugin!
D.
Possible work around.

I responded to your forum posting with the details, but essentially check that you have a 'library.properties' file in the root folder of your library.
Missing project properties
Submitted by Terrance McPharlin on Tue, 2016-12-13 09:50
When one creates an Arduino project, there are a number of differences from what the IDE does for a standard C++ project:
The project Properties, C/C++ General group lacks the "Paths and Symbols" property group. Among the more useful missing properties are:
a. "Preprocessor Include Paths" settings not to mention that an "includes" folder is not created within the project tree (Next to "src" folder)
b. The "Libraries" and "Library Paths" property tabs are not supported, apparently.
Rather than simply explaining that these settings may be added in a future release, perhaps the author could explain his philosophy for omitting these settings. Was it an intentional design decision or simply omitted in these early releases?
Support for Nordic nrf51 (rfDuino) based boards?
Submitted by Terrance McPharlin on Tue, 2016-12-13 01:54
Or possibly the "user defined library support" feature you eluded to in an earlier post.
I'm guessing that a user-defined-bootloader may also be required in such scenarios but I have no idea (yet) how compatible the boards may be or how universal a bootloader could be made...
Is a universal SAMD bootloader feasible? How different would it be from, say, an AVR?
very cool project, keep up the great work, Doug.
