Hi Frank!

Ad 1) not all samples compile correctly for Ethernut3. Basemon is special
because it deals with HW a lot. After a quick look into the basemon.c
source, I cannot find any platform specific defines, so I think it has not
been adapter to Ethernut 3.
Take a look at HTTPserv as an example, it compiles correctly and shows quite
some interesting features.

Ad 4) WinAVR will not help because it compiles for AVR-rype CPUs, but the
Ethernut 3 uses the ARM-type CPU chip. Because of this, butconf and the
nut/os build did not generate the context.o after which Winavr is looking.

Ad 2) dont know. I used the JTAG HW which came with the Ethernut 3 dev kit,
plus the utils supplied and everthing worked.

If you want to compare your sample-progs compile results, I have setup a
website at http://www.es-business.com/ethernut look at Nut/OS versions vs
compiler versions and click on the "details" link of the respectiv row/col.

Have fun

Betreff: [En-Nut-Discussion] Newbie questions

Hi folks,

i'm new to the mailing list and to the ethernut, too.

First a few things about my person:
I'm 27 years old, live in the south of Germany near Nuernberg and are on the
way to build my new home since summer last year (therefore I need the nut).
I did learn my todays career kommunikation-electronic(ian) at Philips (PKI)
which later was called Lucent Technologies. At present I work at a robot
manufacturer for plastic industries.
A few years ago I started to teach PHP by myself.
Now I'm doing PHP well, so I got the basics for C, I think.


Last weekend I bought my ethernut 3.0D which was delivered last week.
Now I got these usual beginner problems...
I just figured out the working of nutconf and the difference between
flashing with the turtelizer and the quite faster way downloading the codes
via tpft initiated by the bootmon.

I'm actually working with this configuration:
Nut/os 4.0.3
GNUARM v3.4.3 compiler
JTAGOMAT 1.2.1


Here are a few questions and things I actually don't understand.
Maybe someone could help me out...

1.
The last times, I tried some sample-codes wich were included by nut/os.
Some of these are doing well by make clean, make all, make install and then
download by tftp.
But a few samples won't work.
I.e. basemon:
"make all" delivers a bunch of errors like "DDRB", "PORTB" undeclared and so
on.
Looks like the compiler cannot find the includes?!
There's a textfield to input the include-paths in nutconf, but there is no
way to put something in.
The fields are disabled.
Where are the include-paths defined?

2.
I noticed, if I try to flash something, I have to type in the whole command
manually, because "make burn" uses relative paths for the file to be flashed
(./filename). But I won't get an error message if file not found. If I use
an absolute path, it works.
Bug? Misconfiguration by myself?

3.
I want to do some house controlling and monitoring with the ethernut3.
There are not many example-codes especially for ethernut3 at the moment.
So if anyone got a litte code snippet for switching outputs and querying
inputs on ethernut3....
It would be great and may give me a little starting help.

4.
I've got WinAVR 3.4.3 compiler also installed, but gives error file not
found context.o.
What could be wrong here?


It would be nice to hear from you.
