VM 0.8 Not up-to-date?

Post by Sybolt »

Hello, i'm new to the whole Crazyflie thing, and I like it.
Now I'm making my own deck but I encounter a problem when I read tutorials about this.
The file structure in the crazyflie-firmware folder on the VM is different than on Github and in all the tutorials.
I already updated all the projects but nothing changes. I also downloaded the project from Git but then I don't know how
to flash it to the Crazyflie.

So maybe you can help me with one of the following things:
1. What's the right way to update my VM so I can flash the Crazyflie directly in Eclipse?
or
2. How can I configure Eclipse so I can download the project from Git and can flash directly in Eclipse?

Hi,

Yes the VM0.8 is pretty outdated. We just generated a new one we called 2016.06 (so that we can easily asses the freshness for the future :).

You can download and try the new VM from the wiki: https://wiki.bitcraze.io/projects:virtu ... x#download

All projects are updated and Eclipse should be configured much better, allowing for debugging. It contains the git team provider (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.egit) so it is possible to handle git from there.

The VM is now generated with a script which makes it really easy to regenerate (thanks to @derf) so if you find bugs or have enhancement pleas send a ticket on the VM repos: https://github.com/bitcraze/bitcraze-vm
