Electronic – Minimum files for Atmega1284p AVR-GCC

avravr-gccblink

does someone have the minimum setup (ie. a 1284p Makefile and an example blink.c) for an ATMega1284p and AVR-GCC? I seem to be stuck setting things up with using the Arduino IDE and I'd like to test my breadbord setup with a simple blinking LED to rule out any mistakes here.

These is some information:

Makefile:

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# On command line:
# make all = Make software.
# make clean = Clean out built project files.
# make coff = Convert ELF to AVR COFF.
# make extcoff = Convert ELF to AVR Extended COFF.
# make program = Download the hex file to the device, using avrdude.
#                Please customize the avrdude settings below first!
# make debug = Start either simulavr or avarice as specified for debugging,
#              with avr-gdb or avr-insight as the front end for debugging.
# make filename.s = Just compile filename.c into the assembler code only.
# make filename.i = Create a preprocessed source file for use in submitting
#                   bug reports to the GCC project.
# To rebuild project do "make clean" then "make all".
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------


# MCU name
MCU = atmega1284p


# Processor frequency.
#     This will define a symbol, F_CPU, in all source code files equal to the
#     processor frequency. You can then use this symbol in your source code to
#     calculate timings. Do NOT tack on a 'UL' at the end, this will be done
#     automatically to create a 32-bit value in your source code.
#     Typical values are:
#         F_CPU =  1000000
#         F_CPU =  1843200
#         F_CPU =  2000000
#         F_CPU =  3686400
#         F_CPU =  4000000
#         F_CPU =  7372800
         F_CPU =  8000000
#         F_CPU = 11059200
#         F_CPU = 14745600
#         F_CPU = 16000000
#         F_CPU = 18432000

#     Even though the DOS/Win* filesystem matches both .s and .S the same,

Compiling is configured in such a way that any warning will throw an error and exit. However it may sometimes seem a nuisance, it is actually a good programming practice.

I usually create a directory with the name of my project, eg. blink. Then in that directory I copy my generic Makefile and I create project.cpp. I always use the same name for the cpp file, so I don't have to change my Makefile

To compile and flash project.cpp you just type make flash. If you want more information about the other options in the makefile type make help.

What happens when you type make flash is:

  • the dependency hex is executed;
  • hex in turn has a dependency of its own: elf, which is executed;
  • elf has a dependency as well: object, which is therefore executed;
  • object has no dependencies, so it executes the commands on the following line: avr-gcc ...;
  • when the object dependency is fulfilled, control is given back to elf which executes the commands on the lines below it;
  • control is given back to hex ... ;
  • control is given back to flash ... .

If you are not planning to use this Makefile for burning the fuses, you can comment out the srec_cat lines, a command that often needs to be installed (apt-get install srecord on Debian'like distributions).
