This setup is only for experienced users. For general firmware development, use our Vagrant box instead. |
These commands are required to set up the build system on Linux (tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). This installs the necessary packages and clones a copy of the firmware to ~/projects/firmware.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-gcc-arm-embedded/ppa -y sudo apt -qq update sudo apt -qq install build-essential gcc-arm-embedded openocd git tmux ruby mkdir ~/projects cd ~/projects git clone https://github.com/uw-midsun/firmware.git |
If you're running this on a VM (through VirtualBox) and want to symlink a shared folder instead, install the VirtualBox Guest Additions and set up a shared folder named projects to auto-mount.
Then, running the following commands will enable your user to access shared folders and symlink the folder to ~/projects. Replace mkdir ~/projects with:

sudo adduser [username] vboxsf cd ~ ln -s /media/sf_projects projects |
It's also recommended to set the STLink programmers to automatically mount within your VM.
