Build Problems

[ShadowoftheSun]

Hey All,

I'm hitting pretty severe roadblocks with the Windriver software.

I've scrapped everything and started over, and now I'm able to build the SimpleRobot program... or so it says. However, as far as I can tell, it does absolutely nothing.

It doesn't produce a .out file, and it won't let me download because of the lack of the .out file.

I'm sure I'm just missing some simple step, but I can't seem to find it in the manual... If you guys could outline briefly the steps taken between making a new "example" Simple Robot program and downloading it to the cRio, I'd be grateful.

Thanks in advance.

on the left side, you should see your project. right click and select build (or... you can be in the source file and press Ctrl+Shift+A.
Then, set the out file. It should be (i don't have WR in front of me) C:\windriver\Workspace OR Workbench, whichever does not have the numbers in front\Project name\ppc...\ and look in all the folders (i believe Debug)
and FIRST>Download
Reboot cRIO
It runs
FIRST>Undeploy
edit file
Repeat
--------------OR-------------------
right click on the project, if you just created this project, and not built it yet, build, otherwise, Run (or Debug) Kernel Task, and set the values as specified in the updated C CPP Programming guide.pdf (the values only need to be entered once)
hit run
it runs w/o you rebooting
reboot cRIO to "undeploy"
edit file
Repeat


I prefer the second one for trying out code, but you will need to use the first one to permanently deploy code

I found that if you don't have everything installed in the default locations this can happen including your workspace. Also, when you add an example sometimes you need to close windriver and reopen it to get it compile and produce a .out file.
