A little progress-report :)

Arduino is using its own C++ variety language to program. 
However, I think it is possible to build C for MCU on the Arduino board.

Yes it is. But it can either have all it's code together with it's INO file or in the libraries folder each library in it's own directory.

So the trick I used is using "Junction-Links" to an MSVC exported version's generated libraries ( see attachment 1 ), then just listing the "main" header files of the ESD generated code in the INO ( see attachment 2 ) .

This will automagically pull-in all the ESD generated code  8) ;D

But... since ESD relies heavily on compile-time defines, the last thing is to take these defines from the MSVC project file and enter them in the Arduino boards.txt definition file as "extra_flags"

Then when it all compiles error free, it will generate a bunch of "undefined references" during link-time. ( only when also "App.h" is also present in the INO )

So...

Yep, better not modify, but write your own HAL_Impl. Which is my next challenge ;)

All the new platform definition stuff is done by editing EVE_Config.h, EVE_util.h, EVE_util.c and EVE_Platform.h ( if anybody is interested, tell me, I'll upload them here ;) )

Nice work ! Would you mind sharing how you added a new platform for noobs like me?
Thanks!

Any update?  :)

Hi,

Sorry, have been offline quite a long time due to Covid 19 infection  :(

But you can look at the attached files and look for the string YD7201 in the files.

In the next post I will post also the new HALImpl ;)

Greets,
Karst
