In this module you'll be making a simple hello world application. You can either run this application on your virtual machine, or on a micro-controller. Running in a micro0controller requires hardware.

Prerequisites

• Our development environment
• some basic knowledge of git

...

cd ~/shared/firmware_xiv
# Create a new branch off of master
git checkout master
git checkout -b wip_getting_started

...

# ssh into your virtual machine
cd ~/box
vagrant ssh
# go to the firmware repo
cd shared/firmware_xiv/
# program the controller board with the "example" project
make program PROJECT=example

...

minicom -D /dev/tty.usbmodem143102
# trick: type the following, hit tab, then enter
minicom /dev/serial/by-id/

You should see something like this: 

...

cd shared/firmware_xiv/
# program the controller board with the "example" project
make program PROJECT=example

...

minicom -D /dev/tty.CMSIS-DAP # --> this should be what the last command showed you!!!!

So now, you should see something like so:

Welcome to minicom 2.7.1

Now your computer is listening on the UART port for all of the messages that get out of your Microcontroller Board! YAY! Now run your open another Git bash window, ssh into vagrant, cd into the firmware directory, and then run the application you just created: hello_world program: 

make program PROJECT=hello_world
