louisrubet/SAMD21_FreeRTOS_Demo

Basic FreeRTOS project for the SAMD21 microcontroller

Setup

Follow the guide on MCU On Eclipse to set up and install required tools.

• ARM Toolchain
• CMake
• Ninja (Place ninja.exe inside CMake /bin directory)
• Segger

To install VS Code extensions run the following:

code --install-extension ms-vscode.cpptools
code --install-extension marus25.cortex-debug
code --install-extension twxs.cmake
code --install-extension dan-c-underwood.arm
code --install-extension zixuanwang.linkerscript

Generating Build Files

1. Create a directory /build
2. Inside this build directory run the command: cmake -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=ninja.exe -G "Ninja" .. (this creates the build files)
3. Run ninja, or use the VS Code build task to create build executables

Debugging

VS Code Run/Debug should work out of the box
