Re: Introduction to Qt: A C++ Cross Platform Framework

Sorry no. Here's an article I looked at (but didn't try) on the topic. It's for Qt4 not Qt5, but I would think it's still relevant.

I just figured most of my audience wouldn't be interested in static linking given the licensing issue.

Re: Data Collection Questionaire

Would the polling feature of this forum be a better option for this type of question?

I for one have never used external memory for stacks. I didn't even realize it was possible. I've never had the need for a particullary large stack. I also don't modify consts.h or predef.h.

Introduction to Qt: A C++ Cross Platform Framework

I just finished my latest course Introduction to Qt: A C++ Cross Platform Application Framework , for Pluralsight and it should go live on a internet near you in May 2014. Since a lot of folks here have invested time in learning C++ I thought you might be interested in leveraging that knowledge beyo...

Re: C++11 Support?

I was just using C++ 11 with Qt and used the new for syntax for range based for (aka foreach ) is simplicity itself, it works with arrays, strings or containers. Here's some actual code for looping over an array and adding each item to a container. for (auto item: cmd_array) { cmd_list.append(item.t...

Re: NANO54415 Simple WAV Player Issues

This is something I didn't cover in my Eclipse courses because it's so NetBurner specific. But take a look at your project properties dialog. Click on the "NetBurner Options". Notice the "Reload selected platform's properties file". Properties.png What this does is looks into you...

Re: How do I troubleshoot traps without a line number?

I understand not wanting to complicate things at this juncture. My paranoid nature makes me suggest you always check those error return values. If OSSemPend returns an error you're assuming it granted you access to the semaphore and deprecated the count (which it probably did not - at least if the N...

Re: How do I troubleshoot traps without a line number?

In the AJAX V3 sample code I posted here on the forums I do something I think might be similar to what you need. The TcpServer::ProcessMessage() method reads in data and then passes it off to another task by posting to a mailbox. After it posts its internal buffer, it pends on a semaphore, waiting u...

Re: How do I troubleshoot traps without a line number?

You might want to cast the net even wider. Are these the only two tasks running? Do you have a main event loop running? Do you know if the NetBurner has crashed or are you stuck in some race condition. I would at least add a single character output to any other loops (e.g "." , "*&quo...

Re: Micrium uC-Probe

I don't know anything about the uC-Probe but I just wanted to point out in case you don't know, that NetBurner isn't using uC/OS-II. I believe they use a customized version of uC/OS-I. When I have delved into uC issues in the past I've noticed the calls and headers are sometimes quite different from...
