Standalone Generators

The eTrice generators can be called from the command line. This is useful e.g. if they should participate in a build process driven by command line tools like make.

Installation

1. Make sure that a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed on your system. The minimum required version is 17. A JRE can be download from Adoptium, for example. Either the command java must be directly available on your PATH or the environment variable JAVA_HOME must be set to the location of the JRE.
2. The standalone generators are distributed as zip archive and can be downloaded from the eTrice releases page. Extract the archive and make the contained bin folder available on your PATH.

Usage

Example usage for generating source code with the eTrice C generator:

etrice-c -genDir src-gen -modelpath model model/MyMapping.etmap model/MyModel.room

Source code is only generated for model files which are explicitly listed on the command line. Make sure to enumerate all your model directories separated by path separators via the -modelpath argument so that references between models can be resolved properly.

To see all available command line options, run an eTrice generator with the -help argument.
