Fail to compile Marlin 2.0.x from for SKR mini e3 v2.0. missing Arduino.h file?

lavik17 · August 9, 2020, 2:12am

I have been trying to compile Marlin 2.0.x for Bigtreetech SKR mini e3 v2.0 board from Bigtreetech github repo: GitHub - bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3: BIGTREETECH SKR-mini-E3 motherboard is a ultra-quiet, low-power, high-quality 3D printing machine control board. It is launched by the 3D printing team of Shenzhen BIGTREE technology co., LTD. This board is specially tailored for Ender 3 printer, perfectly replacing the original Ender3 printer motherboard.
I am running on Windows 10, and have installed Visual Studio and PlatformIO (using the Extensions menu). I have git installed as well as python 3.8.5.

I tried to compile the folder as is without changing any parameter and get an error saying there is no arduino.h file (Log below).
I am not too sure what to do about it as I am new to VS and PlatformIO. I would just mention that I tried using PlatformIO before on a MacOS with a previous Marlin, and failed.
At this step its just becoming frustrating…
I would appericiate your assistance.

LiquidCrystal
=============
#ID: 887
Allows communication with alphanumerical liquid crystal displays (LCDs). This library allows an Arduino/Genuino board to control LiquidCrystal displays (LCDs) based on the Hitachi HD44780 (or a compatible) chipset, which is found on most text-based LCDs. The library works with in either 4 or 8 bit mode (i.e. using 4 or 8 data lines in addition to the rs, enable, and, optionally, the rw control lines).

The issue starts much earlier than that… with

… making it seem like the STM32 framework didn’t install properly.

Now to fix that issue, goto %userprofile%\.platformio\packages and delete the framework-arduinoststm32 folder. This will force PlatformIO to re-download if it is needed.

Therein lies the other issue - I don’t think the stm32duino core is the right one of this - it should be using the Maple core. If you scroll down to the [env:STM32F103RC_btt_512K] block in the platformio.ini file and add board_build.core = maple in there somewhere, e.g.

… and try build the project again, it should be successful this time. You may have to two builds, it failed the first time for me, but I could have made it break, so it may work the first time for you.

This is due to bigtreetech not locking version of the platform used, and consequently run afoul of breaking changes in v7.0.0 of the ststm32 platform, where almost all boards now default to the stm32duino core, rather than the maple core. This means the other way to fix this would be to change the platform line (#325 above) to read platform = ststm32@6.1.0 which was the latest version at the time they last made changes. I only mention this in case the code compiles, but doesn’t actually work properly.

lavik17 · August 10, 2020, 12:33am

Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it!

As you suggested, I’ve deleted the folder and made the changes in the ini file.
When I start Visual Studio, it initializes PlatformIO but I see a message at the bottom of the screen that says

PlatformIO: IntelliSense Index Rebuild

And when I click on it for more details it says:

The extension 'PlatformIO IDE' took a very long time to complete its last operation and it has prevented other extensions from running.

I ignored it and tried to compile Marlin.

The build was successful !!!

I did get 44 warnings of a type:
function call is not allowed in a constant expression
followed by square barckets and two values

and also two of the type
Cannot find \"c:\\temp\\BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3-master\\firmware\\V2.0\\Marlin-2.0.x-SKR-mini-E3-V2.0\\include\"

Should I worry about these?

Thank you again for all your help !!!

pfeerick · August 10, 2020, 5:03am

That is normal. Since you deleted the folder, PlatformIO identified when parsing the platformio.ini upon reopening the project that it the framework files were needed, and set about downloading and installing it, so that IntelliSense wouldn’t spit the dummy over missing files.

If the build was successful, I would ignore the warnings. It’s normal for there to be a load of them in bigger projects like Marlin, particularly when libraries from all different authors and sources are involved. Make sure you have a backup you can revert to, and see if it works!

lavik17 · August 12, 2020, 5:59pm

Thanks pfeerick!
The build was successful and I tried both ststm32 and ststm32@6.1.0. However something seems to be off with the settings. I am not sure that this is the right thread for this but I will appreciate any help that you could provide.
After the bin file is loaded onto the printer, the homing option takes the printer’s head to the wrong coordinates (both on x,y, and z).
I’ve been using the Marlin config files from BigtreeTech github so it should be pre-configured with the right settings. I have also tried their pre-built bin file which worked fine (but doesn’t have mesh-bed leveling enabled, which is why I am trying to build it from scratch).
I am not sure how to proceed from here …

pfeerick · August 13, 2020, 11:51am

Glad progress is being made!

Not sure what is going on there - I’m not familiar with self-compiling marlin or that particular printer/controller combo. All I can suggest is are you using the right version for your board? As it seems the versions are for the different hardware revisions of the board?
