Hi every body,
I'm working on a new IDE for developping MCU applications (mainly PIC
mcu's). I have used Eclipse as development base. I'm developping
plugins for ASM development, for Hex files viewers and editors. The
aim is to create a true MPLab IDE alternative (Multiplateform and Open
Source !!!).
The roadmap is as is (percentage of already done work are given):
March 1st, 2006 : First alpha version
- IDE with Project management, (100% finished)
- MultiFile format support : Hex (Hex8, Hex16, Hex32), BIN, Motorola
SRecord, ... (100% finished)
- Hex file viewers and editors (70% finished)
June 1st, 2006 : Second Alpha release
- Microchip ASM source code editing : code completion + code assist,
code folding, syntax highlithing (60% finished)
- Assemblers Interface with : MPASM under windows and GPasm suite
under Linux (100% finished for MPASM, 0% for GPasm)
- Interfacing with different programmers (100% JDM/ 100% TAIT, 0%
Picstart perhaps using GPIPC can be done quikly)
- (perhaps interfacing with open source projects for interface with
PicKit2 and ICD2)
November 1st, 2006 : First Beta
- Pic (and perhaps DsPic) simulators (0% done)
- debugging support (0%)
- C compilers intefacing (SDCC, PICC-FreeEdition, GCC for DSPic) 0%
- First release of my Own Open Source Pascal compiler for DSPic's and
Pic24 (fully written in Java about 50% complete)
January 1st, 2007 : perhaps First Official release (if all work is finished).
Are there people interrested in contributing to development (this will
speeds up devs)?
Pre-Requisites :
- Very well knowledge of JAVA + Eclipse + JNI (Java Native Interface)
- Very well knowledge of Eclipse Ritch Client Plateform (RCP)
- Very well knowledge of Eclipse plugins development
- Good practice with JUnits and Design Patterns
- Very good knowledge of Pic mcu's and Pic development tools (MPLab
IDE, MPASM, C, ...)
and the most important is : LOVE OF (HIGH QUALITY) OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE SPIRIT
