2. RT-Thread porting guide of Microchip SAM MCU

2.1 Configure project BSP on Atmel Start

* Visit <https://start.atmel.com/#> and click CREATE NEW PROJECT.

* Input MCU part number and then select device, click CREATE NEW PROJECT.

* Add STDIO and other driver/middleware to project.

* Configure STDIO driver.

* Configure CAN module clock.

* Configure CAN module driver.

* Add LED pin description.

* Rename project.

* Save project configuration.

* Export project source code.

2.2 Add project to RT-Thread source code

* Link: <https://github.com/RT-Thread/rt-thread> and download RT souce code.

* Unzip downloaded RT-Thread and SAME70 CAN Example

* Enter rt-thread-xxx/bsp/microchip directory and copy same70 folder and rename it to same70q20.

* Enter same70q20 directory and remove all files except SConscript file.

* Copy all files from SAME70 CAN Example to rt-thread-xxx/bsp/microchip/same70q20/bsp.

* Modify rt-thread-xxx\bsp\microchip\same70q20\rtconfig.py.

* Modify rt-thread-xxx\bsp\microchip\same70q20\bsp\SConscript.

* Modify rt-thread-xxx\bsp\microchip\same70q20\bsp\same70b\gcc\gcc\same70q20b_flash.ld.

* Modify rt-thread-xxx\bsp\microchip\same70q20\bsp\same70b\gcc\gcc\startup_same70q20b.c.

* Alright, now you can use RT-Thread env tools to compile the project.

2.3 Compile project with RT-Thread env tools

About RT-Thread env tools, click Here.

* Download RT-Thread env tools <https://www.rt-thread.org/page/download.html>

* Unzip downloaded file and run env.exe.

* Enter your project directory and run scons command to compile it.

* Compile error you may have and proposed solution.

* Fix compiling error

* Compiling success

* In the following chapter I will show you how to debug RT-Thread with Studio 7.

3. RT-Thread debugging with Microchip IDE

* Link: <https://www.microchip.com/en-us/tools-resources/develop/microchip-studio>, download & install Microchip Studio 7.

* Open installed Microchip Studio 7 and open object file for debugging.

* Choose object file, fill project name and select where to save this project.

* Select the right part number and complete object set up.

* Object file import complete and you can see related files are linked to project.

* Right click the project and choose the debug tools in project propertities setting.

* Choose debugger/programmer and debugger interface - SWD or JTGA.

* Press debugging button and enjoy your debugging journey.

	* Debugging start and you can add breakpoint.

	* Debugging paused at breakpoint and you can monitor local variables at Watch window.

	* Debugging message output.

4. Reconfigure MCU BSP

* Visit <https://start.atmel.com/#> and upload project configuration.

* Now you can reconfigure your project.
