Requirements: This guide assumes you are using a Linux platform or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Either wise, please setup a linux VM (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS should be enough) for the assignment.

Clone the following repository and change your directory to the assignment folder

git clone https://github.com/AICPS/ECPS_202_Assignment_5.git
cd ECPS_202_Assignment_5

Init submodules

git submodule update --init --recursive

Build openplc and matiec

NB: It may require sudoers permission

cd openplc
./install.sh linux
cd ../

Compile PLC programs:

• Change your directory to openplc/webserver/scripts

cd openplc/webserver/scripts

• Use the provided shell script to compile the program.
  Run

../compile_program.sh [path to your PLC program written in Structured Text]

For example, to compile the sample program.

./compile_program.sh ../../../st_files/ENERGY.ST

If you save your generated code inside the same directory as ENERGY.ST with TempratureController.st name:

./compile_program.sh ../../../st_files/TempratureController.st

You will find the resulting binary under the st_files directory.
