# Compiler
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arm-none-eabi GCC version 10.3.1 is recommended, which is the current version on Ubuntu 22.04.03 LTS.
|
|
|
|
|
Other versions may generate a flash file that is too big.
|
|
|
|
|
You can get an appropriate version from: https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/gnu-rm
|
|
|
|
|

# Building
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build the firmware, you need to fetch the submodules and then run make:
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
git submodule update --init --recursive --depth=1
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-09-11 07:57:48 +00:00
|
|
|
To compile directly in windows without the need of a linux virtual machine:
|
2023-09-11 07:54:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
2023-09-11 10:56:59 +00:00
|
|
|
1. Download and install "gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10-win32.exe" from https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/gnu-rm
|
|
|
|
|
2. Download and install "gnu_make-3.81.exe" from https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm
|
|
|
|
|
3. You may (or may not) need to reboot your PC after installing the above
|
2023-09-11 07:54:27 +00:00
|
|
|
```
|
2023-09-09 07:03:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2023-09-11 10:56:59 +00:00
|
|
|
Then you can run 'win_make.bat' from the directory you saved this source code too.
|
|
|
|
|
You may need to edit the bat file (path to make.exe) depending on where you installed 'gnu_make' too.
