This file will help you to setup QtCreator projects for the operating system of
the three basic AMiRo modules and more. It also provides instructions how to
integrate the GCC ARM embedded toolchain into the IDE.

================================================================================
1 - SETTING UP QtCreator PROJECTS
---------------------------------
To automatically generate all required files for QtCreator, run the provided
./setup.sh script and follow the instruction. You then just have to open the
*.creator files with the IDE.
2 - INTEGRATION OF THE TOOLCHAIN
--------------------------------
In order to integrate the compiler and flashing tools into your IDE, some
further actions are required.
2.1 Toolkit Setup
-----------------
Start by launching the QtCreator application, open the Tools->Options settings
and select "Build & Run". Under the tab "Compilers" add the installed
arm-none-eabi-g++ compiler as another GCC. Under the tab "Debuggers" add the
according arm-none-eabi-gdb debugger. Under the tab "Kits" you need to manually
create a new kit with the following settings:
Name: AMiRo
Device type: Desktop
Sysroot:
Compiler:
Debugger:
QT version: none
Keep any other fields at their default values. If there is a warning sign shown
beside the new kit, check the settings for errors.
2.2 Project Integration
-----------------------
For convenience, the absolute path to your module (e.g.
/home/juser/amiro-os/os/modules/PowerManagement) will be referenced in the
following as "MOD_PATH".
After you have sucessfully created the project files (see section 1), open the
projects by selecting the *.creator files with QtCreator. Select the "Projects"
icon at the very left and switch to the "Build & Run" tab. Change the used kit
to "AMiRo" (right above the "Build" and "Run" buttons).
Next, add a new build configuration and call it "make":
Build directory: MOD_PATH
Build Steps: make --directory=MOD_PATH all
Clean Steps: make --directory=MOD_PATH clean
Optionally, you can add "-j" to the build setp in order to parallelize the
compilation process. Add yet another build configuration by clonung the "make"
configuration and name it "make flash". For this copy, replace "all" at the end
of the build step with "flash". Finally remove the "Default" configuration and
repeat these steps for any further projects.
