Hello,

I was successful to compile forte for PC runtime and later when I was trying to compiling 4diac FORTE for freeRTOS and LwIP with help of tutorial given on link:
https://www.eclipse.org/4diac/en_help.php?helppage=html/installation/freeRTOSLwIP.html

But I am not able to get Cmake options for FORTE.

I wtrying to compile it for STM32 microcontroller and using STM32CubeIDE

have you used a dedicated toolchain file?

Yes I have used dedicated Toolchain file.
STM32IDE gnu tool chain path I have provided for gcc and g++.

But When i give minGW toolchain i get freertos options but as its not ARM I cant compile it.

Hello Harshad,

as I understand it, you successfully compiled 4diac FORTE for Windows and
now tried compiling it with FreeRTOS+LwIP (and a toolchain file) which fails.
Can you post your toolchain file here?

Maybe we can work out a solution from there.

I might have mistaken term 'dedicated toolchain file' with 'dedicated toolchain'.
Dedicated toolchain is STM32IDE -> inbuild arm gcc, g++ compiler.

Steps I followed: (Windows 10 )
1) I have compiled project for STM32 microcontroller with FreeRTOS+LwIP (toolchain STM32CubeIDE) (gcc and g++ and make are in plugin folder of installation)
2) Downloaded forte source 2.0.1
3) created build/Freertos directory along with it.
4) Opened CMake GUI and provided settings as unix make file and specify options for cross compiling
5) in setup for cross compilation provided path for gcc and g++
for me (gcc: C:/ST/STM32CubeIDE_1.9.0/STM32CubeIDE/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.10.3-2021.10.win32_1.0.0.202111181127/tools/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe
and g++ C:/ST/STM32CubeIDE_1.9.0/STM32CubeIDE/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.10.3-2021.10.win32_1.0.0.202111181127/tools/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++.exe)
6) on finish I am getting window which is attached in first message.

What is dedicated toolchain file means?

The toolchain file configures CMake to work with the ARM toolchain.
It is a convenient way to configure CMake to use the ARM toolchain instead of the native one (MinGW).

In the FORTE source code, under

buildsupport/toolchains

, there exists a toolchain file for a STM32 board and a CubeMX Project. The file is called

toolchain-eliteboard.cmake

. You can easily adapt this file to your project by following the instructions in the file.

Please try to use this file and if any problems arise, just post them here!

There is only 1 file is there in toolchain folder : toolchain-m1.cmake

No files for STM32.

DO you mean I need to adapt this file for STM32?

Hi,

I expect you are using the current latest relase from 4diac FORTE (version 2.0.1). The file Jonathan mentioned is currently in our development branch because Jonathan uploaded it as part of our work on 4diac FORTE 2.1.0. The file he means can however be found in our git repo [1]. Please give this one a try.

Cheers,
Alois

In the first step you have a radio button for selecting a toolchain file. Quick google search found this stack overflow page: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29982505/setting-a-cross-compiler-file-using-the-cmake-gui
