It is possible to use Scicos-FLEX with non-FLEX boards. These steps should make it possible to compile an EE application based on a custom board.

Here is what you need to do:

  • You need to write your own blocks. see the following link
  • You need to create a template for your board.
    • First, start from an existing template. The reference template is stored into the example eclipse plugin. under my PC, it is currently C:\Evidence\eclipse\plugins\com.eu.evidence.ee.templates.dspic_1.5.1.201011221106\examples\pic30\pic30_scicos
    • Then, copy the template in another directory under the examples directory (for example, ".../examples/pic30/myboard")
    • change, in the template.xml, the board ID from "board_flex" to "myboard"
    • change the code to reflect your board configuration by editing the 'oil' and the source files.
  • Now you need to add the template in the Scicos target settings, by editing the file SCI+'/contrib/scicos_ee/scicos_flex/dsPIC/macros /codegen/SetTarget_.sci', changing the templates list as follows: lab_template = ['board_flex', 'board_easylab', 'myboard'];
  • At this point you need to recompile all the files by running "builder.sce".

Finally, when generating the code, use "myboard" instead of "board_flex" in the Target board parameter in the code generator dialog box.
