How to run example project in the spresense sdk using vscode IDE?

[JITHUL]

Hi experts,

Can somebody help me to run an example code (preferebly 'audio_pcm_capture') in the spresense sdk using vscode IDE. I am getting into many problems while using this example.

Sharing steps to follow to create the project with these example would be greatfull, or any vscode project with this example also fine.

I am able to run simple code using the below help, but anot able to add example code in the sdk.

Hi @jithul

Please follow these steps:

1. https://developer.sony.com/develop/spresense/docs/sdk_set_up_ide_en.html#_creating_an_application_project
2. https://developer.sony.com/develop/spresense/docs/sdk_set_up_ide_en.html#_create_and_run_application_myapps
3. Copy the include folder from examples/audio_pcm_capture to myapps.
4. Copy the audio_pcm_capture_main.cxx file from examples/audio_pcm_capture to myapps.
5. Change

extern "C" int main(int argc, FAR char *argv[])

to

extern "C" int myapps_main(int argc, FAR char *argv[])

in audio_pcm_capture_main.cxx
6. Remove myapps_main.c from myapps.
7. Modify the Makefile as follows:

-include $(TOPDIR)/Make.defs
include $(SDKDIR)/Make.defs

# Audio application info

PROGNAME  = myapps
PRIORITY  = 100
STACKSIZE = 2048

# Audio Example

MAINSRC = audio_pcm_capture_main.cxx

# Audio Example paths

AUDIODIR = $(SDKDIR)$(DELIM)modules$(DELIM)audio

# Audio Example flags

CXXFLAGS += ${shell $(INCDIR) $(INCDIROPT) "$(CC)" "$(AUDIODIR)"}
CXXFLAGS += -D_POSIX
CXXFLAGS += -DUSE_MEMMGR_FENCE
CXXFLAGS += -DATTENTION_USE_FILENAME_LINE

include $(APPDIR)/Application.mk

8. Go to SDK config in VSC, then New -> Examples -> audio_pcm_capture -> OK and save.
   
9. Disable EXAMPLES AUDIO_PCM_CAPTURE under Application Configuration -> Spresense SDK -> Example, since you have your own example.
   
10. Build and flash.

I hope it will help.

Hi @kamiltomaszewski, I followed the exact steps but my build get stopped with the following error:

*** No rule to make target 'audio_pcm_capture_main.cxx', needed by 'audio_pcm_capture_main.cxx.home.ssup.my_prjct.o'.  Stop.

Hi @matben-0

It worked on the older SDK. Now for this to work you need to modify the first line in the Makefile from step 7. Please change -include $(TOPDIR)/Make.defs to include $(APPDIR)/Make.defs.

Hi @KamilTomaszewski
What changes in procedure should I follow up if I've to work with audio_player which have ASMP worker files.

[KamilTomaszewski]

Hi @matben-0 ,

If you take the worker's files from the new SDK, you don't have to change anything.
