Go @ IDE is an editor dedicated to the eLua World: http://www.eluaproject.net/
some features:
- Its editor (which is based on the wonderful library "scintilla" http://www.scintilla.org/), is lightweight and powerful.
- It has additional features such as "syntax highlighting", "code folding" and "code completion" based on the eLua API.
- It includes the capability to connect with the real hardware (through the serial or the USB port) obtaining the prompt of Elua inside it.
- It's able to build the sources and also is able to send the built file on the Hardware (using the xmodem protocol).
- Also it supports some terminal commands (standard ansi/vt100), so it's able to play games like "hanoi" or "hungman".
- Starting from now, an experimental support for the DFU bootloader programmer.

How to build and install it on Linux:
-
Be sure we have the package "libgtk+2.0" installed:
-
$ sudo apt-get install libgtk+2.0
-
$ cd $HOME
-
$ git clone git://github.com/nuccioraciti/Goat-IDE.git
-
$ cd Goat-IDE
-
$ cd scintilla/gtk
-
$ make all
-
$ cd $HOME/Goat-IDE
-
$ cd Goat/gtk
-
$ make all
-
$ sudo make install
-
In order to support the "dfu-programmer" the libusb1.0 library is required:
-
$ sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0
How to build and install it on Windows:
Not yet ready, I hope that it will be soon...
What it requires on the eLua side...
-
It requires some optionali modules included inside the eLua core:
-
#define BUILD_XMODEM
-
#define BUILD_SHELL
-
#define BUILD_TERM and if it is avaliable on our hardware:
-
#define BUILD_MMCFS
Quick start.
- If your Linux is "Ubuntu" you can find "Goat" on menu: applications for development
- Then after you have connected one eLua board, please set the serial port name on Goat, using the menu: "Options" -> "Open Global Options File", un-commenting the right choice for you system.
- After each change to the settings, you need to exit and reopen Goat again...
- Now you should have the eLua prompt on the "eLua's Console" window.
- Well, try to use the menu: "Open Example" and load some elua program (eg. hello.lua)
- Using the menu: "Tools" -> "Compile", let's Goat build the program for you.
- The last step, press "F5" or menu "Tools" -> "Send & Run on Ram" will send the "hello.lc" directly on memory of eLua board and will run it.
(*) just a note, some eLua examples ("hanoi" and "hungman") requiring a special configuration of the "eLua Console" window, so don't forget to select the menu: "Tools" -> "Mode Terminal".
Enjoy with the "Go @ IDE" and thank you for testing, improving and leaving your feedback for it.
