XDK-Workspace MITA: Cayenne

This repository only storages an example of sending data over WiFi and using the MQTT protocol to the IoT Cayenne platform.

MITA is a excellent programming lenguage to use when learning XDK and rapid prototyping processes on hackathones and courses.

 Note: The XDK Workbench code has been tested only on Windows 64-bits.

General requirements

1. XDK-Workbench v3.6.1 installed, download the installer in the Bosch developer portal and choose your operating system and architecture.

      Note: If "Your_User" name has spaces or special characters on the suggested installation path like C:\Users\Your Usér\XDK-Workbench the projects would not build. 
      
      Avoid this issue installing the XDK Workbench on a directory with no spaces or special characters path as C:\Users\XDK-Workbench or C:\XDK-Workbench.
   

2. XDK device with bootloader v0.0.9 or v1.2.0.

      Note: The bootloader v1.2.0 sometimes shows errors at flashing the device, to solve this issue only re-build the current project and try to flash again the device.
   

Instructions

Get the projects using GIT

• To use the modules and projects of repository, clone the current repository into your XDK-Workspace folder, usually, the path follows the same pattern on Windows like C:\Users\Your_User\XDK-Workspace or C:\Your_user\XDK-Workspace (be careful, not confused with the installation folder, its pattern follows the structure C:\XDK-Workbench), use the next command:

  • git clone https://github.com/rgonzalezc1811/XDK-MITA-Cayenne.git

Get the projects using the ZIP download

• Download the master branch master as a ZIP file.
• Unzip the file into the XDK-Workspace folder, usually, the path follows the same pattern on Windows like C:\Users\User\XDK-Workspace or C:\User\XDK-Workspace (be careful, not confused with the installation folder, its pattern follows the structure C:\XDK-Workbench)

Use a project

• Open your XDK-Workbench.
• Close the Welcome page.
• Go to File > Open Projects from File System...
• On the Import Projects from File System or Archive window click on Directory...
• Go to the XDK-Workspace
• In the Browse for Folder window, select the desired project on MITA (ble, sdcard and so on) and click on OK.
• On the Import Projects from File System or Archive window click on Finish
• Do right click on the MITA project main folder and go to Properties.
• Select C/C++ Build.
• Click on Behavior.
• Click in Enable parallel build.
• Select Use optimal jobs (#), that option has the better performance.
• Select the root project folder and right click.
• Select Build Project
• When building is finished, go to XDK Devices and click in Flash

Use a project by copying only the application.mita file

• Open your XDK-Workbench.
• Close the Welcome page.
• Create a new MITA project in the XDK-Workbench
  1. Go to File > New > Project...
  2. Select XDK > Eclipse Mita project and click on Next >
  3. Name it as the current MITA project to copy in the text box Project name:
  4. Click on Finish
• Browse to the desired project in the remote repository.
• Copy the text of the application.mita file
• Paste the text into your application.mita generated in the local MITA project.
• Do right click on the MITA project main folder and go to Properties.
• Select C/C++ Build.
• Click on Behavior.
• Click in Enable parallel build.
• Select Use optimal jobs (#), that option has the better performance.
• Select the root project folder and right click.
• Select Build Project
• When building is finished, go to XDK Devices and click in Flash

Version notes v.1.1.0

• Bootloader v.0.0.9 has better performance than v.1.2.0, try to use always the previous version.

• Avoid using spaces or special characters on the instalation path, the XDK-Workspace path or new project names.

• Some WiFi codes are not working in some XDK hardware, some of the causes are still unknown.

Project status

The project is a own work to have all the XDK base codes for events, hack developments and rapid prototyping.
