Regarding 'Arduino Core for Mbed CE Arduino devices' and GIGA R1 WIFI

[megacct]

Hi, apologies if this isn't the right forum for this Q.

I'm keen to use https://github.com/mbed-ce/ArduinoCore-mbed-ce/ with my GIGA R1 WIFI board, and whilst the core has compiled successfully, the ninja package step has not included all the required headers. The zip doesn't include driver .h files for component WHD, for example, and possible others.
Any guidance on where to raise this issue or how to investigate further?

p.s. giga.build.variant is missing from ide-config-files/board-txts/ARDUINO_GIGA/boards.txt.in

Hello and welcome,
it could be a component what should be added manually but I am not sure. @multiplemonomials?

BR, Jan

Thanks @JohnK1987. Any pointers on how to correctly add components to variants very much appreciated.

Please use correct box for reply.

Here you can look for https://github.com/mbed-ce/mbed-os/wiki/MbedOS-configuration

You need to add context like below into your mbed_app.json

{
    "target_overrides": {
        "*": {
            "target.components_add": ["WHD"]
        }
    }
}

or just add component directly into custom_targets.json similar like here

mbed-os/targets/targets.json5

Line 3696 in f8619e3

"WHD",

Thanks @JohnK1987, much appreciated

Hmm, this component is already added through its parent target here:

mbed-os/targets/targets.json5

Line 3696 in f8619e3

"WHD",

Perhaps the issue is that some CMake libraries are missing from this block in CMakeLists.txt: https://github.com/mbed-ce/ArduinoCore-mbed-ce/blob/5a2aad19588bf9dfa0d685ed2088f3ddc4784706/CMakeLists.txt#L90

Maybe you need something like

if("STM32H747_ARDUINO" IN_LIST MBED_TARGET_LABELS)
    list(APPEND MBED_LIBS_TO_INSTALL mbed-wifi)
endif()

fwiw, I am not actively maintaining that repo anymore. It was a lot of work to take the stuff Arduino built on top of Mbed and and make it actually work properly (especially because their code quality is... not the greatest a lot of the time), and I really need to spend my time on Mbed CE itself.

That said, Giga R1 should work properly with Mbed OS (no Arduino stuff) if you just follow the regular Mbed instructions. And we are almost there on adding PlatformIO support to make using Mbed CE easier!

And if you are able to find the issue, I'd be happy to review a PR!

Understood, cheers
