Building and debugging Atmel AVR (Arduino-based) project using Eclipse IDE+PlatformIO

I received a lot of feedbacks after PlatformIO had been released. Some people have been asking me the interesting questions, such as:

Also I’ve received valuable answers and wishes from the “LinkedIn Professionals” (here and here). Most of them like to work with an IDE and preferably Eclipse IDE. As PlatformIO is a console tool with rich commands interface it can work with different IDEs as the “builder, uploader & debugger”.

Today I want to explain how we can build and debug Atmel AVR (Arduino) based project using Eclipse IDE + PlatformIO.

An Android Cross-Compiling Environment on Windows/UNIX-like systems using NDK

1 Reply

The Android NDK is a toolset that allows us to implement parts of our app using native-code languages such as C and C++. There are many articles about integrating Android SDK/NDK and writing some “C/C++” JNI compatible code. JNI is the Java Native Interface. It defines a way for managed code (written in the Java programming language) to interact with native code (written in C/C++).

But today we will talk about:

the native cross-compiling on the Windows/UNIX-like systems
uploading of the compiled binary file to the Android device
running the compiled binary file via Android CLI shell.

And what is interesting, we will not use the Android SDK (except adb utility) or any others Android sources 🙂
