OVERVIEW
This nn article to hold notes on LPCXpresso Integrated Development Environment and NXP microcontroller programming methods. Author Ted expects the IDE to include or call on tools such as gcc, g++, as, ld, objcopy and related others. Programming methods expected to include FTDI cable based programming employed with FlashMagic and lpc21isp.
As of 2018 Q2 article contributor Ted using LPCXpresso v8.2.2 [Build 650] [2016-09-09].
In addition to some initial notes on NXP parts, also this article contains some notes and references on STMicro's STM32F100 family micro-controllers. This controller is different enough that it deserves an STM32F100 article of its own . . .

^ LPCXpresso 1114 board and FreeRTOS
In order to get started with the FreeRTOS port demo project to the LPC1114 board, a batch file (or shell script) need be run to create a particular directory structure and copy files into some project-expected places. There is mention on the ported NXP project page on FreeRTOS site that LPCXpresso IDE can provide makefile based projects, and "managed make" projects. The managed make projects require all sources on which a given project depends to be located within given project's top level directory.
There is mention of a batch file which on our Linux box appears to be ~/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/RTOSDemo/CreateProjectDirectoryStructure.bat.

^ Copying FreeRTOS Demo Project To Begin New Project
- 2018-06-13 TUE -
Today's goal is to copy the FreeRTOS demo which runs on an LPCXpresso development board, and to bring this copy of the project up as a second or additional project in LPC IDE's workspace. From here then next step is to add one-way then bidirectional UART communications to the project.
A separate second goal is to craft a GNU makefile to build this same demo project.
Looking at project properties by means of right clicking the top level folder in LPCXpresso's project navigation pane, the project's location on the file system is:
localhost:/home/${USER}/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/RTOSDemo
The readily visible, top level contents of this directory are:
~/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/RTOSDemo$ ls CreateProjectDirectoryStructure.bat Source Debug create-project-directory-structure.sh
There are a couple of hidden project files here, created and or used by LPCXpresso:
$ ls -a . .cproject .settings Debug create-project-directory-structure.sh .. .project CreateProjectDirectoryStructure.bat Source
Note: in the LPCXpresso managed product directory there are hidden files named .cproject and .project . . .
Both files .cproject and .project are XML files. The file .cproject is longer among these two files and includes details of the compiler used in a given project, plus options passed to this compiler, plus at least one project include path. The file named .project contains in the first few lines a line expressing the project name as LPCXpresso IDE knows it. This project name must be unique among projects imported to a given LPCXpresso workspace. This workspace on Unix and Linux-like systems defaults to the directory ${HOME}/LPCXpresso.
The make dir and copying commands which can be invoked after creating project directory structure is:
$ mkdir -pv ~/projects/nxp/rtos-demo-4 $ cp -prv ./* ./.[cp]* ~/projects/nxp/rtos-demo-4
The name of the project we're attempting to copy and start as a new and editable project is 'RTOSDemo', a patterm which appears several times in file .cproject:
Figure x -
$ grep -n RTOSDemo ../.cproject
23: <builder arguments="-r" buildPath="${workspace_loc:/RTOSDemo/Debug}" command="make" id="com.crt.advproject.builder.exe.debug.1260101970" keepEnvironmentInBuildfile="true" managedBuildOn="true" name="Gnu Make Builder" superClass="com.crt.advproject.builder.exe.debug"/>

61: <option id="com.crt.advproject.link.script.1758870530" name="Linker script" superClass="com.crt.advproject.link.script" value=""RTOSDemo_Debug.ld"" valueType="string"/>
118: <builder buildPath="${workspace_loc:/RTOSDemo/Release}" id="com.crt.advproject.builder.exe.release.1281961847" keepEnvironmentInBuildfile="false" managedBuildOn="true" name="Gnu Make Builder" superClass="com.crt.advproject.builder.exe.release"/>
149: <option id="com.crt.advproject.link.script.1856833348" name="Linker script" superClass="com.crt.advproject.link.script" value=""RTOSDemo_Release.ld"" valueType="string"/>
182: <project id="RTOSDemo.com.crt.advproject.projecttype.exe.777175218" name="Executable" projectType="com.crt.advproject.projecttype.exe"/>
343: <resource resourceType="PROJECT" workspacePath="/RTOSDemo"/>
346: <resource resourceType="PROJECT" workspacePath="/RTOSDemo"/>
$
Unfortunately the LPC1114 FreeRTOS demo project name is used in two or three different ways in the file named .cproject. Most of the time it is used as the project's name, but a couple of times this text pattern appears in the filenames of linker scripts. In another instance it's part of a host system directory path to the project. The places where pattern 'RTOSDemo' most closely relates to LPCXpresso project are where it appears on lines which refer to ${workspace_loc}. Given this it looks like we want to change the project name RTOSDemo to a new project name on lines 23, 118, 343 and 346, where this name stands for a project name, rather than part of a path or part of a linker script filename.
LPCXpresso file .project contains two references to the pattern RTOSDemo:
$ grep -n RTOSDemo ../.project
3: <name>RTOSDemo</name>
35: <value>${workspace_loc:/RTOSDemo/Debug}</value>
^ edit point - create directory structure script
A file worth noting here is a shell script which Ted adapted from a DOS batch file which ships with the RTOS demo. The original batch file and the adapted shell script create a directory structure and copy FreeRTOS header and source files to these directories, placing all sources in the local copy of the project. While the following script does the copying job for a project in one particular path relative to the FreeRTOS download path, Ted amended this script further to put relative source path elements into variables. This makes the script more adjustable to be executed in different locations. As of 2018-07-09 Monday that improved script not posted here on this wiki article yet . . .
Before and after running `make clean` from the IDE:
Figure x - FreeRTOS demo directories and size of build time files:

The above figure is a verbose way of showing approximate size of combined build time files such as object files. But this snippet also shows project directories and directory structure. This structure is largely created by the DOS batch file on Windows hosts, and in this case created by the shell script which mimics those same steps. Manually copying this project with these directories then, there should be no need to run the batch file . . .

^ Makefile Clues - Deriving A Working Makefile From LPCXpresso Projects
NOTE: This section on makefile derivation / porting not yet well organized. Work here underway - TMH
It's really frustrating to understand how LPCXpresso builds software projects. LPCXpresso automatically generates a makefile, and child makefiles in additional subdirectories of its imported and created projects. For example, LPCXpresso creates child makefiles in each directory which contains project sources. These child makefiles are read by the `make` utility recursively, as LPCXpresso calls its choice of `make` with the -r option.
Some options which would normally be encapsulated in the makefile are held in some other settings space or stored files of LPCXpresso and passed to the call to make at build time. This makes it harder to see all the details of the project build recipe, because they're spread out over multiple files, and some options do not even appear to be stored in files.
According to an NXP Community thread, LPCXpresso supports command line based project builds . . .
Despite possible command line based builds we have not yet learned how to set this up, and are presently stuck with LPCXpresso's default build process. This build process includes a utility or option called CDT builder, which appears next to a checkbox in one of the dialog boxes under a given project's properties:
Properties --> Builders
A couple of supporting lpcxpresso project makefiles include makefile.init and subdir.mk. These files contain respectively:

^ What we know about LPCXpresso project makefiles
What we know so far about LPCXpresso project makefiles: LPCXPresso projects typically use multiple makefiles, including a "top level" makefile which includes several other makefiles. The called makefiles include:
* makefile.init * makefile.deps * sources.mk * objects.mk
and one of the following subdir makefiles for each project directory which holds sources:
* subdir.mk
It looks also as though these files come pre-built and bundled with the FreeRTOS demo, which includes a port to LPC1114 family microcontrollers. Since they're already present in the downloadable project / port from FreeRTOS dot org, we can't as easily know or find out how these files are or were originally created. All of the makefiles begin with a comment block which warns "DO NOT EDIT":
1 ################################################################################
2 # Automatically-generated file. Do not edit!
3 ################################################################################
Here are the instances of subdir makefiles:

^ LPC build messages
Build messages from LPCXpresso 8p2p2 CDT builder here on wiki page 'rtos-demo-3 build messages'. Next figure shows a complete capture of a FreeRTOS demo firmware build as built by LPCXpresso's calls to make. Article contributor Ted noting here that these build messages tell a lot about the build process but also leave a lot of the recipe's details out. For example, it's not obvious from these compiler messages that the build process is described by multiple makefiles. It's also not always obvious what environment variable settings the 'make' utility -- in this case LPCXpresso -- and its called commands enjoy as they run. One clue to this effect is how LPC's build messages show a specifications file option -specs=redlib.specs which names an extent file but not its full path. How does the compiler know where to look for this file? There must be a search path variable somewhere. Unfortunately GNU GCC's web documentation doesn't go into any detail about the way in which gcc searched for specs files.
All the same here is the LPCXpresso output of a successful build of FreeRTOS demo program targeted for the LPC1114 Cortex-M0 processor:

^ Build Issues While Developing Makefile
2018-06-15 - One of the first issues we encounter while creating a makefile for the FreeRTOS demo targeting LPC1114 processor is gcc's complaint of not finding the specifications file named redlib.specs. Gcc.gnu.org talks about specs files at this page:

We've solved a couple of simple vpath and -I include path problems, but are running into something maybe more subtle or obscure. Gcc is getting an assembly file and does not know how to compile this assembly:

Ok a lot going on here. Also noting that when gcc given -v option for more verbose output, there are some non-existent paths which gcc mentions, which are expressed in the redlib.specs file. These don't look like a source of problems. Also notice there are two identical but differently named instances of the cross-assembler gnu-none-eabi-as:

^ edit point - gcc 6.3 or newer may be needed
An obscure error appears now with our call to the GNU assembler, which gives a complaint about width suffixes in one of FreeRTOS demo assembly files. Per https://sourceforge.net/p/freertos/discussion/382005/thread/8041642a/ we may need a newer version of gcc, e.g. 6.3 over 4.x in order to get past the error:

Link time issues can come up before all sources have been built. The linker `ld` or similar needs to know where project-related libraries are on the local file system. Here in the next figure / build excerpt are messages showing the linker not finding certain library function definitions:

This makefile alone does not tell us a lot about how LPCXpresso is constructing and using makefiles for project builds. However, the -include stanzas lead us to some clues. Specifically many of the -includes reference "child" makefiles in various project sources directories. These makefiles are all like named 'subdir.mk'.
Each subdir.mk file amends three make variables: C_SRCS, OBJS and C_DEPS. This variable amending itself is useful in the primary makefile, when by the time all subdir.mk files have been included the primary makefile now has a list of all project sources. The problem however is that each subdir.mk file also defines a target and build recipe for a subset of project sources. These targets are added to the dependency graph built by `make`, and it seems kludgey at best to -- if possible within a GNU makefile -- select and delete certain rules from the dependency graph mid-way through processing a makefile. By mid-way we're thinking after all -include directive processing and before named rule processing.
Regarding `make` targets or rules see:
Checking to see whether and how the rules differ among FreeRTOS demo subdir.mk files:

^ edit point - finding and pointing make to .a library files
On Thursday, yesterday, we found a makefile created by LPCXpresso or one of its called tools, in the Debug directory of our RTOSDemo project instance. Working now with a copy of that makefile in a project we did not import, nor unzip from a zip archive, but started out as a general C/C++ project. TO DO: Contributor Ted notes here that we must retrace those project creation steps so we know thoroughly how to get a project off the ground in the LPCXpresso IDE.
There are different types of library files in C and C++ projects, library files which can be linked in to a binary at compile time or loaded at run time. On the Linux and GCC side it may be necessary to point `make` to dot a archive type library files, by using the -L option . . .

So one thing we see is that symbol ResetISR appears in linker files of type .ld, in .map files and in .c files. Symbol ResetISR does not appear in any header files of this project. Where in our rtos-demo-with-mods project makefile do we touch or change references to any .map files? . . .

- STEP - amending include paths with -I . . .
Adding needed paths to CFLAGS fails to solve our present modified top-project-level makefile named 'Makefile', which in turn calls LPC-generated sub-makefiles per project source directory. The cause we think is that those subdir.mk files each express targets whose options to gcc are already expanded and thus fixed. There is no appearance of $CFLAGS in those target recipes.
^ Suspicion subdir.mk target recipes lack variables
- 2018-07-11 - Tuesday -
Suspicion: subdir.mk target recipes contain no variables to expand, so that amendments to typical makefile variables such as CFLAGS are not applied when make calls programs to execute these targets.
There are a couple of things going on here as we search for an automatable way to convert LPCXpresso firmware projects into GNU gcc toolchain projects. Have 'make' or a shell script read sub-make files can be helpful in automatically gathering for example all the sources which are part of a project. Parsing "hard coded" build recipes can allow us to assign pre-processor, compiler, assembler and linker options to conventional GNU `make` variables. Achieving these parsings and effectively porting projects from LPCXpresso's makefile way to a GNU type toolchain would give us a lot of insight into the details of project dependencies, and the specific tasks we need `make` to invoke in order to build -- to cross-compile -- a software project for a given target processor.
Proposed Steps:
- Step 1 -
-
A first good step to take is to create a recipe which builds a list of all project sources.
- Step 2 -
-
A second step to attempt authoring is that of a recipe which builds all sources, whose passed options to gcc are in variable which we assign values manually at first. If all sources take the same arguments, this will function as desired. Otherwise if recipies differ for one or some sources we can create targets for each set of sources which build in distinct ways.
- Step 3 -
-
A third step then when we see the project build via our target described in step 2, is to automate that parsing and assigning-to-make-variables the options required to build all project sources.

^ FreeRTOS Demonstration Project For LPC1114
Key points in FreeRTOS demonstration project for LPC1114:
- choose between blink demo and full in main.c, by defining mainCREATE_SIMPLE_BLINKY_DEMO_ONLY to be (1),
Simpler LED blink demo has its period of blinking set by delay in prvQueueSendTask() function, as explained in excerpt from file main-blinky.c:
43 * The Queue Send Task:
44 * The queue send task is implemented by the prvQueueSendTask() function in
45 * this file. prvQueueSendTask() sits in a loop that causes it to repeatedly
46 * block for 200 milliseconds, before sending the value 100 to the queue that
47 * was created within main_blinky(). Once the value is sent, the task loops
48 * back around to block for another 200 milliseconds.
This time period is puond defined on about line 79 in main-blinky.c:
#define mainQUEUE_SEND_FREQUENCY_MS ( 200 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS )
