[SOLVED] Problem compiling RP2040-HAT-C examples

Fulvietto · October 18, 2023, 3:11pm

Hi all, sorry for, i think, a noob question. I’m starting to use 5500-pico-evb and I’m trying to compile the examples available in GitHub - Wiznet/RP2040-HAT-C: Ethernet Example for RP2040

Environment: Windows 10 + Visual Studio Code.

I’ve already installed the pico sdk (1.5.1) in its default directory (documents\Pico-v1.5.1)
and I’ve installed the repository RP2040-HAT-C using the command: git clone --recurse-submodules GitHub - Wiznet/RP2040-HAT-C: Ethernet Example for RP2040

Using VS (started using the pico sdk shortcut in the start menu) (pico - Visual Studio Code) I’m able to compile every pico-sdk example.

Using the same enviroment i do:

open folder - opening the root RP2040-HAT-C folder: it’s installed at the same level of pico sdk examples:
C:\Users\fulvi\Documents\Pico-v1.5.1\RP2040-HAT-C
C:\Users\fulvi\Documents\Pico-v1.5.1\pico-examples

The cmake generation is this one:

Does anyone have solved this problem that is preventing me to go on ?

Thanks a lot

Edit: some typo

I’ve found this discussion that give me the info I need:
https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=350982

The problem I’ve understood is that you need the windows sdk too in order to compile the tools elf2uf2 and pioasm.

Following the thread linked above I’ve downloaded a precompiled version od the tools from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/rpi-pico-utils/files/v1.3.0/ and saved them into the pico sdk directory:
C:\Program Files\Raspberry Pi\Pico SDK v1.5.1\picotool

Then I’ve added to the file C:\Users\fulvi\Documents\Pico-v1.5.1\RP2040-HAT-C\CMakeLists.txt the following lines (just before the pico_sdk_init() line:

# Avoid building 'pioasm'
add_executable(Pioasm IMPORTED)
set_property(TARGET Pioasm PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION
"C:\\Program Files\\Raspberry Pi\\Pico SDK v1.5.1\\picotool\\pioasm.exe")
set(Pioasm_FOUND 1)

# Avoid building 'elf2uf2'

add_executable(ELF2UF2 IMPORTED)
set_property(TARGET ELF2UF2 PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION
"C:\\Program Files\\Raspberry Pi\\Pico SDK v1.5.1\\picotool\\elf2uf2.exe")
set(ELF2UF2_FOUND 1)

the full file is:

# Set compile options
add_compile_options(
        -Wall
        -Wno-format          # int != int32_t as far as the compiler is concerned because gcc has int32_t as long int
        -Wno-unused-function # we have some for the docs that aren't called
        -Wno-maybe-uninitialized
        )

This solved the problem and currently i’m able to compile wiznet’s examples
In the next days i’ll try to run them.
