Xcos STM32 toolbox

Comment from Atsushi Fujita -- July 11, 2018, 06:45:17 AM    

I installed xcos_STM32_toolbox from the module management of the application of xcos, but 
the following error was displayed on the console.

atomsLoad: ファイル 'C:\Users\atsus\AppData\Roaming\Scilab\scilab-
5.5.2\atoms\x64\xcos_stm32_toolbox\1.1\loader.sce'  (xcos_stm32_toolbox - 1.1 から)

Could you tell me the installation procedure?

I'm trying to install the STM32_toolbox_1.1-0.zip into Scilab 5.5.2, and I keep 
running into issues.
The error I'm dealing with right now is after the installation through the 
atomsGui(), following the restart of Scilab, I get this error:

atomsLoad: The file 'C:\Program Files\scilab-
5.5.2\contrib\xcos_stm32_toolbox\1.1\loader.sce' from (xcos_stm32_toolbox - 1.1) does 
not exist or is not read accessible.
Start X2C

+ Loading X2C functions
- Done
+ Populating X2C library manager
- Done 

+ Loading of all active X2C libraries
+++ Loading Basic library for x64 system...

The directories are there, and sure enough loader.sce is not in the .\1.1\ directory.  
If I try to add it in manually (from the Zip) I get another error:

atomsLoad: An error occurred while loading 'xcos_stm32_toolbox-1.1':
	javaclasspath: Could not add URL to system classloader : C:\Program 
Files\scilab-5.5.2\contrib\jar\org.scilab.contrib.stm32toolbox.jar.

Please help! :)

I get the same error as those above.  The two zip files (sorce and binary) are identical. 

Did the author ever test his work?

George,
I spent a very long time trying to solve this issue, and was never successful.  I don't 
know how helpful this will be to you, but the only way I was able to get xcos to talk to 
the outside world was through the Arduino module.
If you choose this route, you need to pay attention to the XCOS and Arduino module 
versions, as they don't all work interchangeably.
Good luck!
Tom

Thanks Tom.

I was finally able to get this Toolbox to run.  I realized that the instructions were 
incorrect, and that despite being labeled as source and binary, both compressed files 
above are uncompiled source files.  On windows you need to first install a C compiler.  I 
started with a clean Windows install and followed the Scilab instructions to install MinGW

gcc for 5.5.2.  With that working (test with haveacompiler() must return T, not F) I was 
able to follow the instructions to run "exec start_STM32.sce" which finally built
the 
STM32 Toolbox!

Note I also tried this on Ubuntu 18.04 Linux with gcc installed.  The build script seemed 
to work fine no errors and STM32 shows up in the help tool.  But no STM32 blocks in the 
pallet browser, so something not quite right for Linux.  STM tools tend to prefer Windows 
anyway so for those giving it a try best stick to Windows.

Good luck!

George

Thanks for sharring George and all of you.
After trying for 2 days I finally got the T answer so the MinGW compiler worked now.

But I'm not able to install the STM32 tools box after, what are the "instructions you
followed" please?

I have currently win10 Scilab 5.5.2 and mingw 0.9.3 
haveacompiler is returning T
atomsGetInstalled is returning !mingw  0.9.3  user  SCIHOME\atoms\x64\mingw\0.9.3  I  !

I tried:

* atomsInstall("xcos_stm32_toolbox")
     result were : 
       !--error 10000 
          at line      51 of function atomsError called by :  
          at line      82 of function atomsExtract called by :  
          at line     318 of function atomsInstall called by :  
          atomsInstall("xcos_stm32_toolbox")
 
* I download both zip and tried while while the path was poiting the download rep: 
- atomsInstall("STM32_toolbox_1.1-0.zip") or
atomsInstall("STM32_toolbox_1.1-0.zip")
     result were:
        !--error 10000 
         atomsDESCRIPTIONread: The file "C:\Users\T2\AppData\Roaming\Scilab\scilab-

         at line     160 of function atomsInstall called by :  
         atomsInstall("STM32_toolbox_1.1-0.zip")

* I unzip both and tried for each : exec start_STM32.sce or exec builder.sce 
      resulte were for all:
          !x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe: error: unrecognized command-line option '-Wl'; did
you mean '-W'?                                                                 !

          !make: *** [Makelib:103: libxcos_stm32.dll] Error 1                              
                                                                             
          !--error 10000 
ilib_compile: Error while executing Makelib.
at line      25 of function dlwCompile called by :  
          +++ 20 more other at lines of error

Could you George or somebody tell me how to pass that and install it please ?

Is it possible to re-build / install that toolbox on Scilab 6.xxx or do we have to use
5.5.x please ?
