ETrice/Development/GettingStartedWithEtrice

Preconditions

  • get the sources (see how)
  • download the latest version of Eclipse Modeling Tools (e.g. http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-modeling-tools-includes-incubating-components/indigom7)
  • Install additional Plugins
  • import all projects from the local GIT clone
    • Perspective -> Git Repository
    • Add Repository (local GIT clone)
    • Context Menu of Working Directory -> Import Projects
    • Import all Projects
  • make sure you are using a JDK (in Eclipse: Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs->e.g. jdk1.6.0_24), attention: do not use jdk1.6.0_18 or jdk1.6.0_22!
  • check out all projects from your local GIT clone to your Workspace (with EGit plugin)
  • build eTrice with our target platform (see how)

Getting Started

Setting up Runtime Workspace

  • start the runtime workspace: org.eclipse.etrice.core.room.ui -> eTrice-rt.launch (contextmenu -> Run As)
  • check out the runtime projects from your local GIT clone
    • org.eclipse.etrice.doc.tutorials
    • org.eclipse.etrice.modellib
    • org.eclipse.etrice.runtime.java

Editing the Model

  • the first model you find in org.eclipse.etrice.doc.tutorials/model/scratch/PingPong.room (doubleclick for editor)
  • if the room editor has the focus, you can see all your model elements in the outline view
  • with a right click on an actor (e.g. MrPingActor) you can
    • Edit Structure
    • Edit Behavior
  • Important: You have to save every "dirty" editor before opening another editor

Code Generator

  • org.eclipse.etrice.doc.tutorials -> genAllTutorials.mwe2.launch -> (contextmenu)Run As -> genAllModels.mwe2
  • you will find the generated code in org.eclipse.etrice.doc.tutorials/src-gen
  • you can see the generated instance tree of your actor org.eclipse.etrice.doc.tutorials/src-gen/PingPong/SubSystem_PingPong.jpg
    • Precondition: install the current version of graphviz and add the path to dot.exe to you system or user PATH variable

Run

  • start generated application: org.eclipse.etrice.doc.tutorials/src-gen/PingPong/SubSystem_PingPongRunner.java -> Run As -> Java Application
  • in the View Console you can see the debugging output of the running model
  • enter "quit" and <enter> in the Console to stop the running application (you should see *** T H E E N D *** )

Debug

  • in org.eclipse.etrice.doc.tutorials/tmp/log you will find the generated Message Sequence Chart of your application: SubSystem_PingPong_Async.seq (MSC)
  • you can debug the generated code like any other Java Project. The main function is located in SubSystem_PingPongRunner.java
  • be aware that all actors communication via message queue, so the regular sourcecode debugging is sometimes not sufficient
