This repository contains preconfigured Eclipse projects for the MRT lecture series. The purpose of these porjects is to help students to get started with the actual coding as fast a possible. The projects are not solutions to the lecture exercises. Instead they contain a framework that allows students to simply "fill in" the proper code. If any third-party dependencies are required, these are included in the project.

The "Templates" folder contains exercise specific project templates. A project template includes dependencies (if any) and statically linked libraries/header if they are required for the exercise. Each folder in "Templates" is an Eclipse project directory.

The suggested way of using these projects is by downloading the Templates folder using Git and opening it as a workbench (File -> Switch Workbench -> Other).

If you are running Eclipse with the eGit plugin installed, you can check out the projects from within Eclipse. Just create a new Git Project and use this repositories clone path as an URL.

If you are using an external tool to download these projects (Git or ZIP Archive download), you can simply use "File" -> "Import" to import the workbenches.

These projects where created and tested under GNU/Linux (OpenSUSE 42.3, Debian 8/9, Ubuntu 16.04 and Raspbians based on Wheezy/Jessie). It is quite possible that you will have to adapt paths of the cross-compilation toolchain under Project -> Properties -> c/c++ Build. Make sure that the Prefix and the Path matches that of the cross-compilation framework on your system. Windows users should always use the SysGCC/bin path of their portable installation.

Also make sure that the Debugging device address corresponds to your device.

If you notice problems with the code (i.e. wrong project settings, uncompilable examples, etc.) feel free to post either an issue or a pull request with a fix. Please note that some deficiencies in the programs are on purpose and server as examples or as exercises for improvement during the lectures.
