This article will help you get setup if you have a M1 with a solution using Docker Desktop.

\uD83D\uDCD8 Instructions for Docker Setup

1. Download Docker Desktop for Apple Silicon (https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/ )

2. Install the latest version of vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads )

3. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/uw-midsun/box.git && cd box

4. Go to your box directory and switch to branch main

   Code Block
   ~ % cd box box % git checkout main

5. Run vagrant up --provider=docker

6. Run vagrant ssh

7. Run cd shared

8. Run git clone https://github.com/uw-midsun/fwxv.git && cd fwxv (if you clone with https, you will need to set up an ssh key later which is covered in our setup page)

9. Run scons sim --project=leds --platform=x86 to test that your environment is working correctly. If it compiles and runs your environment is set up.

👾 Guide to flashing on M1s

1. Ensure you are not in the linux environment

2. Go to the box repository and start up your python virtual environment by running source venv/bin/activate

3. Try running arm-none-eabi-gcc --version and look for output. If it says that it cannot find arm-none-eabi-gcc then run source ~/.zshrc

   1. If it still doesn’t work, please contact a lead for help

4. Make the necessary connections you need with the hardware

5. cd shared/fwxv then run scons flash --project=[project name] (If you need some other scons command please reference the build_system.md file)

✨ Guide to setting up dependencies for flashing on M1s

1. Install package dependencies:

   1. Run this shell script in box directory:

      View file
      name setup.sh

      1. This uses virtualenv, a python package manager. (https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html )

2. Install arm-none-eabi-gcc compiler

   1. Download gcc-arm-none-eabi version 9.2.1 which is obtained from https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/gnu-rm

   2. Move this to your tar file into your box folder and change current directory to

   ~/

   1. box directory

   2. Run this code in the box repository:

      View file
      name m1.sh

   3. Run scons in the box/shared/fwxv folder to test if building works
      
      For people who care about the step-by-step of the m1.sh:

      Code Block

      // Should be in the box repository with .tar.bz2 file tar xzf gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major-mac.tar.bz2 // move into gcc-arm-none-eabi folder cd gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major/ // run pwd and copy output into next command pwd // enter pwd output in [pwd input here] (do not include [] braces) // ex. echo 'export PATH="/Users/your-user-name/box/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.

   bashrc

   1. zshrc echo 'export PATH="[pwd input here]:$PATH"' >> ~/.

   bashrc

   1. zshrc source ~/.

   bashrc

   1. zshrc // you may get a permissions issue so we will "unquarantine" (remove quarantine attribute) our files // path to gcc-arm-none-eabi folder can be grabbed by cd gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major and pwd // ex. xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine /Users/your-user-name/box/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major/ xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine [path to gcc-arm-none-eabi folder] // check arm-none-eabi-gcc version // Should get output similar to: /* * arm-none-eabi-gcc (GNU Tools for Arm Embedded Processors 9-2019-q4-major) 9.2.1 20191025 (release) [ARM/arm-9-branch revision 277599] * Copyright (C) 2019 Free Software Foundation, Inc. * This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
