You bet you have a thank you coming. Thank you Fred, for all the work you're doing.

In rooting around, I found the NoICE Debugger. $99

It doesn't do the Xgate parts yet.

Hello,
Please can anyone answer the following questions :-
Is there an easy way to download all of the sourcefiles in one hit ?
Does the Makefile contain a list of all source files that it attempts to compile?

TIA,

Dave.

You need Git! Get git, then clone the source, switch to the dev branch, the review the makefiles (quite a few, distinct purpose each). Git is required to be installed while building the firmware. If you change the system to not require git, you get zero support from me or anyone that wants to have my support in future. :-) Lots of info on git on the internet, good luck!

Well Fred, I understood some of that :-)
I'll have a play around and then ask some more questions, if it doesn't p*** me off first.

Thanks,

Dave.

Hello All,
I'm trying to clone a repository from Github and get this :-

fatal: repository 'https://github.com/fredcooke/freeems-va ... /src/main/' not found

What stupid thing am I doing ?

TIA,

Dave.

Might be worth hopping onto IRC for more immediate responses, but if you just want the main repo, one way to create a local copy:

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/fredcooke/freeems-vanilla
I've used git for various reasons (here and at work) and while it's pretty straightforward to those who use it regularly, it's always been a big hurdle for me. Keep us updated on your progress.

Thank- You.

From a dev perspective where are you with CAN etc. is there a current todo list we can nibble at while we do our thing?
