PEAK-System Forum

Hi,
It's the first time I'am working with the PCAN-RS-232.
I have a question about creating firmware with Visual Studio Code. I have opened the sample files via VSCode and run the vbs script. Now I would like to create a firmware with "make all" as described in the *.txt. However, when running the command in the terminal, I get the error message:
sh: arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found.
make: *** [Makefile:339: gccversion] Error 127
Can anyone help me further?
Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Thank you for your request.

Did you move the PEAK-DevPack folder or its contents after you had run the VBscript?

Please let us know

Best Regards

Marvin

Hello,

i did'nt move it. I did everything like in the description.

I habe another VS-Code (Beginner) projekt where I can compile and run my C-files. Maybe it is because I've already installed compilers on my PC. But I'm very new with VS-Code....

Thank you!

Hello again,

I don't know why, bu now something worked. The out-Folder was created, but when it comes to built the *bin file a new Message occured:

Creating bin file: example_echo.bin
hex2bin -s 0000 ./out/example_echo.hex
sh: hex2bin: Kommando nicht gefunden.
make: *** [Makefile:367: example_echo.bin] Fehler 127

It is a Sample-file from the Peak-Homepage.

Do you have an idea?
Best Regards
Paul

One more...it works.
I only run the "make" command, not the "make all" command like in th readme.txt described.

Thank you!

The topic ca be closed.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

Using "make all" should not be an issue.

If you should have any further issues regarding this,
please try the following:

1)
Download a fresh Peak-DevPack:

https://www.peak-system.com/quick/DLP-DevPack

Extract it to a folder you have write permissions to,
for example Desktop.

2) Run the SetPath_for_VSCode.vbs script

3) Open VsCode, select "Open Folder" and open:

YourPath\PEAK-DevPack\Hardware\PCAN-RS-232\Examples\01_CAN_ECHO

Make sure you are not open "src" or any other of the sub-folders of the example.

In VsCode now use "make all" via the "Terminal" menu:
What's your output after following these steps?

Can you share a screenshot with us?

Best Regards

Marvin

Hello,
sorry for my late reply. I thougt the topic was already closed.
As you mentioned, i executed the "make all" command via the "Terminal" menu.
Everything works fine. Thank you!
I am pretty new in C/C++ so i have further questions how to convert my Message to a float-Variable and then into an ASCII-Code.
For example:
I am sending "488235" (32bit) onto the CAN. I would like to send "488.235" (factor 1/1000) via RS232 to my device. But I think i will create a new topic for that. Maybe in a C/C++ forum...

Thank you!

Hello,

yes, please contact a c/c++ forum regarding this float to char issue. This topic is not really related to our PCAN hardware.

Hello I have the same problem, when i run the make command I get the message that the hex2bin cannot be found. And the advice you gave doesn't seem to work for me either. When I open the terminal and click "Run task" I don't see the Make button as discribed on your screenshot.

Hi,

please follow the instructions in the readme.txt of the PEAK Dev package. Typical issue is to not execute the "SetPath_for_VSCode.vbs" or a problem that you don't open the folder (and just the folder only!) correctly.

regards

Michael
