User:Vazhnov/PlatformIO + VIM + ccls + Sipeed Longan nano RISC-V

Intro
I'm not a developer.

For my job, I have to edit shell and Python scripts. I use Vim + vim-syntastic + linters (pylint, shellcheck) for it.

As a hobby, I'm trying to learn how to program in Asm and C for architecture RISC-V.

PlatformIO
PlatformIO is a popular platform with good support of multiple boards (like Arduino, STM32, …).

PlatformIO install
PlatformIO can be installed by Python's package management system pip. Here is an example how to install PlatformIO with Python virtualenv, to not interfere with your system:

Disable telemetry, if you want:

Test: {{Cmd|pio boards|output= Platform: gd32v

PlatformIO init
When run at the first time, PlatformIO downloads:


 * — from https://github.com/sipeed/platform-gd32v
 * — from https://github.com/riscv-mcu/GD32VF103_Firmware_Library
 * — from https://github.com/riscv-mcu/riscv-gnu-toolchain

After the last command, creates an empty structure + file  which is important for a syntax checker(s):

PlatformIO integration with different IDE
Inside a directory with source code, it is possible to create a file structure to help your favourite IDE to catch settings.


 * : creates a directory structure with a configuration files and ,
 * : creates a directory structure with a configuration files and ,
 * : creates a directory structure with a configuration file (XML),
 * : creates a directory structure with a configuration files and  (both XML) and a directory ,
 * : creates a directory structure with a configuration file with  options,

ccls
is required by Neovim to check code syntax/style. It is still in "testing" state in Gentoo Portage, so:

Check:

Neovim
v0.5 supports the Language Server Protocol (LSP), which is needed, so testing versions should be allowed:

Install Neovim and Vim plug as it described in Neovim.

Create a configuration file:

Run, execute:

Then add a code from https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/server_configurations.md#ccls at the end of the configuration file:

dfu-util
— device firmware update (DFU) USB programmer.

Check:

Boot your Sipeed Longan nano board with "Boot0" button pressed.

Test project: gd32v-lcd
Prepare a test project:

Run neovim:

Execute:

You should see: Language client log: /home/user/.cache/nvim/lsp.log Detected filetype:  c
