LPCXpresso Pixy Firmware (gcc) project settings

Hello!

I’m currently working on a bachelor’s project involving the pixy, and hope to make a few modifications in the firmware to tailor it more to my needs.
The project is about realtime motion tracking, and I want to implement some of my own algorithms, as well as remove some features I don’t need.
I haven’t been able to acquire Kiels MKD-ARM IDE yet (my university is working on getting a donation), so I’m looking for an alternative.

I realize that I likely won’t be able to achieve much in regards to firmware development alone, but from what I understand, a GCC version of the firmware is around the corner, and I’d like to get familiar with the inner workings of the firmware in the meantime.

I’ve cloned the github and successfully compiled the current version of the gcc firmware, but I get memory placement error when trying to upload it to the pixy via pixymon.

So, in order to get familiar with the IDE and the firmware, I’d like to know how the project is created, settings, libraries to include and whatnot.

also, any new ETA on the GCC firmware?

Any help is greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Best regards
Sondre
