Suggestion: New Structure for Energia #117

Closed rei-vilo closed 11 years ago

rei-vilo commented 11 years ago

The new Arduino 1.5 introduces a new internal structure, which is clearer when dealing with multiple platforms.

It consists on adding an intermediate folder for the IDE=arduino PLATFORM=sam

Now /Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/sam/ Instead of, before /Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/

Now —click to enlarge IMG Instead of, before —click to enlarge IMG

This is closer to the Wiring structure —click to enlarge IMG

I suggest using the same new structure for Energia:

Suggested /Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/energia/lm4f/ /Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/energia/msp430/ /Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/energia/piccolo/

Instead of, before /Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/lm4f/ /Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/msp430/

What do you think?

must be great! arduino do this because create arduino due. launchpads have more then 2 target platform so this changes very important and needed for energia

robertinant commented 11 years ago

Although I see the value in this, a casual user would not notice the difference so this will go way down the list for now.

robertinant commented 11 years ago

In fact, its not only the structure of the folders. A lot has changed in the IDE code as well. 1.5 moved from build in compiler commands to external Makefile structure.

rei-vilo commented 11 years ago

I agree. This is not a top priority, so I mark it as Deferred for alter consideration.

As a matter of facts, I'm not concerned by the Arduino IDE as I use makefiles with Xcode for my embedXcode template.

This structure and the platforms. and boards concept was borrowed from the MPIDE project that chipKIT uses and was created by Mark Sproul and Rick Anderson. The original intent was so that many different platforms (Arduino, DUE, chipKIT, Energia) could all be compiled and utilized with a single tool (MPIDE). Also the other thing we are talking about now on the chipKIT project is to be able to support different version of the core libraries (0.23, 1.0, 1.5) in a single IDE. The idea would be to define one of the following in your pde file:

define 0023

define 0100

define 0150

To choose the core library that you wanted to use.
