Re: Programmatic check of Netburner version number?

You could also make the check part of the Eclipse build process. One way would be to add a Pre-build step ( Project Properties->C/C++Build->Settings then select the Build Steps tab). You could invoke a simple bat file from here, let's call it condCompile.bat and put it in the same location as the re...

Re: IPSetup: no device detected

I'll just chime in that I'm using Win 7 64 bit with V2.0 of AutoUpdate and I don't have this problem. What have you tried? Have you turned off your firewall, anti-virus etc.? Have you checked your IP/netmask, is it compatible with the NB Ip/netmask? Have you tried running AutoUpdate as admin?

Re: uC/OS Queue Versus FIFO

This is just my opinion, but I think you should consider NEVER having the task (or class even) that receives a pointer perform the delete if that pointer was created in another task (or class). The user of a class should never have to know this level of internal detail and be required to manage memo...

Re: MOD54415 compiler error messages

I think I muddied the waters (as Dan was right to avoid) unnecessarily. The include guards prevent a different problem so I was just trying to forestall that problem. Please re-read the last paragraph of Dan's initial post. You are doing precisely what he suspected, follow his advice. If you don't u...

Re: MOD54415 compiler error messages

This may seem somewhat pedantic but... What you are seeing are "linker" errors, not compiler errors. The compiler actually compiled your code with no problem. The linker however wasn't happy. The reason I mention this is to clarify why you're seeing the object files (.o or .od) not the sou...

Re: Install Rel22-RC2 on a Win7/64 bit but doesn't work

NBEclipse.ini has to live in the same folder as NBEclipse.exe (just like Eclipse.ini and Eclipse.exe). Find your NBEclipse.exe and you should find NBEclipse.ini. If not maybe in that old a version they didn't use an .ini file. You could always try creating one with a text editor.

Re: Install Rel22-RC2 on a Win7/64 bit but doesn't work

You can tell Eclipse exactly which JVM to use via the .ini file. In the case of NBEclipse the file is NBEclipse.ini. Here's an example of what you would add -vm C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\javaw.exe I think this is much more convenient than messing around with the path variable. BTW,...

Re: "Task Manager" for RTOS?

I would suggest the signature could be improved to uint32_t GetCurrentTaskTime( uint32_t * const TotalTicks ); That is, promise the caller that you're not going to change the pointer itself (it also allows you to accept both const and non-const ptrs). Personally I think the safest, clearest (at leas...
