Simulator Compilation Problem

[lmou]

As I understood from the website, the simulator allows running the firmware without any hardware. I ran the simulator jar rusefi_console.jar, however,I need to compile and run the simulator source code to have the option of debugging and modifying it.
I have followed the steps listed in "How to compile the firmware" (https://rusefi.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9), and could successfully build the firmware.

Similarly, I tried the same steps to build the simulator, but I am getting errors.
Using "make" command in the simulator folder, I am getting the following errors

Code: Select all

make: i686-w64-mingw32-gcc: No such file or directory
make: *** [../firmware/ChibiOS/os/common/startup/SIMIA32/compilers/GCC/rules.mk:136: build/obj/chcore.o] Error 127

Also using eclipse (Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, version: 4.15.0), I am getting:

Code: Select all

make: *** [../firmware/ChibiOS/os/common/startup/SIMIA32/compilers/GCC/rules.mk:136: build/obj/chcore.o] Error 127

Then, I get the error "Program "g++" not found in PATH", though in the build path i added GNU Tools Arm Embedded\9 2019-q4-major\bin; C:\cygwin64\bin; and C:\MinGW\bin. I did not face these issues for the firmware and am wondering if the same steps apply to the simulator or if there are some other steps which i did not find that can help me compile, build and run the simulator from some IDE (not necessarily eclipse).

I appreciate if anyone can help me to successfully compile the simulator.

Thank you.

I ran the simulator jar rusefi_console.jar

looks like a confusion here?

rusefi.hex - firmware for MCU, usually stm32
rusefi_simulator.exe - windows command line tool which is sharing source code with real rusEfi firmware
rusefi_console.jar - rusEfi console, a java UI tool which communicates with either firmware on MCU or simulator on your PC


firmware is build using gnu arm gcc, sounds like you have this installed

make is the same between firmware and simulator, sounds like you have this intalled

simulator is compiled by make using a cygwin version of windows gcc compiler (and obviously has nothing to do with GNU Tools Arm Embedded)

can you run
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -v
?

Kudos for providing all the details I could think of right away, it's a please answering questions like that!

Thanks a lot for your swift response. It looks like "i686-w64-mingw32-gcc" was actually missing in cygwin. I installed now and when running

Code: Select all

i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -v

i get the following:

As a result of that i was able to get rid of the previous error messages successfully.
Unfortunately, now I am getting the below error when trying to build using eclipse:

Also, the same error when using the command prompt:

Thank you, I appreciate your response.

Once in a while https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/commits/master would not compile here and there. I wonder if that's the case - are you trying to compile your fork? Can you refresh your fork? Or if you have downloaded code somehow else, can you download latest?

https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/blob/master/misc/git_scripts/git_reset_to_upstream.bat could be relevant

I cloned rusefi from

Code: Select all

https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi

when i try to run

Code: Select all

git_reset_to_upstream.bat

i get an error saying i do not have the rights to.
I tried running the .bat file, running the command in cmd and in cygwin with the same outcome:

I'm sorry for the troubles but I'm new to all this and trying to get started. Your help is highly appreciated.

You did not fork so you have nothing to reset.

You simply need
git pull
To update

Maybe just download latest as .zip while you are getting up to speed with git

It is working now. Thank you a lot for your help.
