RAB2-CO2 and RDK2 Code Example

Rutronik Development Kit Programmable System-on-Chip CY8C6245AZI-S3D72 "RAB2-CO2 & RDK2" Code Example.

This code example demonstrates the PAS Co2 and SCD41 sensors with the RDK2.

Requirements

• ModusToolbox® software v3.x [built with v3.0]

Supported toolchains (make variable 'TOOLCHAIN')

• GNU Arm® Embedded Compiler v11.3.1 (GCC_ARM) - Default value of TOOLCHAIN

Using the code example

Create the project and open it using one of the following:

In Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox™ software

1. Click the New Application link in the Quick Panel (or, use File > New > ModusToolbox™ Application). This launches the Project Creator tool.

2. Pick a kit supported by the code example from the list shown in the Project Creator - Choose Board Support Package (BSP) dialog.

   When you select a supported kit, the example is reconfigured automatically to work with the kit. To work with a different supported kit later, use the Library Manager to choose the BSP for the supported kit. You can use the Library Manager to select or update the BSP and firmware libraries used in this application. To access the Library Manager, click the link from the Quick Panel.

   You can also just start the application creation process again and select a different kit.

   If you want to use the application for a kit not listed here, you may need to update the source files. If the kit does not have the required resources, the application may not work.

3. In the Project Creator - Select Application dialog, choose the example by enabling the checkbox.

4. (Optional) Change the suggested New Application Name.

5. The Application(s) Root Path defaults to the Eclipse workspace which is usually the desired location for the application. If you want to store the application in a different location, you can change the Application(s) Root Path value. Applications that share libraries should be in the same root path.

6. Click Create to complete the application creation process.

For more details, see the Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox™ software user guide (locally available at {ModusToolbox™ software install directory}/docs_{version}/mt_ide_user_guide.pdf).

In command-line interface (CLI)

ModusToolbox™ software provides the Project Creator as both a GUI tool and the command line tool, "project-creator-cli". The CLI tool can be used to create applications from a CLI terminal or from within batch files or shell scripts. This tool is available in the {ModusToolbox™ software install directory}/tools_{version}/project-creator/ directory.

Use a CLI terminal to invoke the "project-creator-cli" tool. On Windows, use the command line "modus-shell" program provided in the ModusToolbox™ software installation instead of a standard Windows command-line application. This shell provides access to all ModusToolbox™ software tools. You can access it by typing modus-shell in the search box in the Windows menu. In Linux and macOS, you can use any terminal application.

The "project-creator-cli" tool has the following arguments:

Argument	Description	Required/optional
--board-id	Defined in the <id> field of the BSP manifest	Required
--app-id	Defined in the <id> field of the CE manifest	Required
--target-dir	Specify the directory in which the application is to be created if you prefer not to use the default current working directory	Optional
--user-app-name	Specify the name of the application if you prefer to have a name other than the example's default name	Optional

The following example clones the "Hello world" application with the desired name "MyHelloWorld" configured for the CY8CPROTO-062-4343W BSP into the specified working directory, C:/mtb_projects:

project-creator-cli --board-id CY8CPROTO-062-4343W --app-id mtb-example-hal-hello-world --user-app-name MyHelloWorld --target-dir "C:/mtb_projects"

Note: The project-creator-cli tool uses the git clone and make getlibs commands to fetch the repository and import the required libraries. For details, see the "Project creator tools" section of the ModusToolbox™ software user guide (locally available at {ModusToolbox™ software install directory}/docs_{version}/mtb_user_guide.pdf).

To work with a different supported kit later, use the Library Manager to choose the BSP for the supported kit. You can invoke the Library Manager GUI tool from the terminal using make modlibs command or use the Library Manager CLI tool "library-manager-cli" to change the BSP.

The "library-manager-cli" tool has the following arguments:

Argument	Description	Required/optional
--add-bsp-name	Name of the BSP that should be added to the application	Required
--set-active-bsp	Name of the BSP that should be as active BSP for the application	Required
--add-bsp-version	Specify the version of the BSP that should be added to the application if you do not wish to use the latest from manifest	Optional
--add-bsp-location	Specify the location of the BSP (local/shared) if you prefer to add the BSP in a shared path	Optional

Following example adds the CY8CPROTO-062-4343W BSP to the already created application and makes it the active BSP for the app:

library-manager-cli --project "C:/mtb_projects/MyHelloWorld" --add-bsp-name CY8CPROTO-062-4343W --add-bsp-version "latest-v4.X" --add-bsp-location "local"

library-manager-cli --project "C:/mtb_projects/MyHelloWorld" --set-active-bsp APP_CY8CPROTO-062-4343W

In third-party IDEs

Use one of the following options:

• Use the standalone Project Creator tool:

  1. Launch Project Creator from the Windows Start menu or from {ModusToolbox™ software install directory}/tools_{version}/project-creator/project-creator.exe.

  2. In the initial Choose Board Support Package screen, select the BSP, and click Next.

  3. In the Select Application screen, select the appropriate IDE from the Target IDE drop-down menu.

  4. Click Create and follow the instructions printed in the bottom pane to import or open the exported project in the respective IDE.

• Use command-line interface (CLI):

  1. Follow the instructions from the In command-line interface (CLI) section to create the application.

  2. Export the application to a supported IDE using the make <ide> command.

  3. Follow the instructions displayed in the terminal to create or import the application as an IDE project.

For a list of supported IDEs and more details, see the "Exporting to IDEs" section of the ModusToolbox™ software user guide (locally available at {ModusToolbox™ software install directory}/docs_{version}/mtb_user_guide.pdf).

Operation

The firmware example uses KitProg3 Debug UART for the debug output. The results are read from the sensor and are printed on the terminal window.

Debugging

If you successfully have imported the example, the debugging configurations are already prepared to be used with a the KitProg3, MiniProg4, or J-link. Open the ModusToolbox perspective and find the Quick Panel. Click on the desired debug launch configuration and wait for the programming to complete and debugging process to start.
