# Build ## Dependencies To build this project, you'll need: - A cross-compiler : [ARM-GCC (9-2020-q2-update)](https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads/9-2020-q2-update) - The NRF52 SDK 15.3.0 : [nRF-SDK v15.3.0](https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF5_SDK/nRF5_SDK_v15.x.x/nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345.zip) - A reasonably recent version of CMake (I use 3.16.5) ## Build steps ### Clone the repo ``` git clone https://github.com/JF002/Pinetime.git cd Pinetime mkdir build cd build ``` ### Project generation using CMake CMake configures the project according to variables you specify the command line. The variables are: Variable | Description | Example| ----------|-------------|--------| **ARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH**|path to the toolchain directory|`-DARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=/home/jf/nrf52/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2020-q2-update/`| **NRF5_SDK_PATH**|path to the NRF52 SDK|`-DNRF5_SDK_PATH=/home/jf/nrf52/Pinetime/sdk`| **USE_JLINK, USE_GDB_CLIENT and USE_OPENOCD**|Enable *JLink* mode, *GDB Client* (Black Magic Probe) mode or *OpenOCD* mode (set the one you want to use to `1`)|`-DUSE_JLINK=1` **CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE**| Build type (Release or Debug). Release is applied by default if this variable is not specified.|`-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug` **NRFJPROG**|Path to the NRFJProg executable. Used only if `USE_JLINK` is 1.|`-DNRFJPROG=/opt/nrfjprog/nrfjprog` **GDB_CLIENT_BIN_PATH**|Path to arm-none-eabi-gdb executable. Used only if `USE_GDB_CLIENT` is 1.|`-DGDB_CLIENT_BIN_PATH=/home/jf/nrf52/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major/bin/arm-none-eabi-gdb` **GDB_CLIENT_TARGET_REMOTE**|Target remote connection string. Used only if `USE_GDB_CLIENT` is 1.|`-DGDB_CLIENT_TARGET_REMOTE=/dev/ttyACM0` #### CMake command line for JLink ``` cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=... -DNRF5_SDK_PATH=... -DUSE_JLINK=1 -DNRFJPROG=... ../ ``` #### CMake command line for GDB Client (Black Magic Probe) ``` cmake -DARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=... -DNRF5_SDK_PATH=... -DUSE_GDB_CLIENT=1 -DGDB_CLIENT_BIN_PATH=... -DGDB_CLIENT_TARGET_REMOTE=... ../ ``` #### CMake command line for OpenOCD ``` cmake -DARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=... -DNRF5_SDK_PATH=... -DUSE_OPENOCD=1 -DGDB_CLIENT_BIN_PATH=[optional] ../ ``` ### Build the project During the project generation, CMake created the following targets: - FLASH_ERASE : mass erase the flash memory of the NRF52. - FLASH_pinetime-app : flash the firmware into the NRF52. - pinetime-app : build the standalone (without bootloader support) version of the firmware. - pinetime-mcuboot-app : build the firmware with the support of the bootloader (based on MCUBoot). - pinetime-graphics : small firmware that writes the boot graphics into the SPI flash. If you just want to build the project and run it on the Pinetime, using *pinetime-app* is recommanded. See [this page](../bootloader/README.md) for more info about bootloader support. Build: ``` make -j pinetime-app ``` List of files generated: Binary files are generated into the folder `src`: - **pinetime-app.bin, .hex and .out** : standalone firmware in bin, hex and out formats. - **pinetime-app.map** : map file - **pinetime-mcuboot-app.bin, .hex and .out** : firmware with bootloader support in bin, hex and out formats. - **pinetime-mcuboot-app.map** : map file - **pinetime-graphics.bin, .hex and .out** : firmware for the boot graphic in bin, hex and out formats. - **pinetime-graphics.map** : map file ### Program and run #### Using CMake targets These target have been configured during the project generation by CMake according to the parameters you provided to the command line. Mass erase: ``` make FLASH_ERASE ``` Flash the application: ``` make FLASH_pinetime-app ``` ### Using JLink Start JLinkExe: ``` $ /opt/SEGGER/JLink/JLinkExe -device nrf52 -if swd -speed 4000 -autoconnect 1 SEGGER J-Link Commander V6.70d (Compiled Apr 16 2020 17:59:37) DLL version V6.70d, compiled Apr 16 2020 17:59:25 Connecting to J-Link via USB...O.K.

This feature can be used to get the logs from the embedded software on the development computer. - Program the MCU with the code (see above) - Start JLinkExe ``` $ JLinkExe -device nrf52 -if swd -speed 4000 -autoconnect 1 ``` Start JLinkRTTClient ``` $ JLinkRTTClient ``` ### Using GDB and Black Magic Probe (BMP) Enter the following command into GDB: ``` target extended-remote /dev/ttyACM0 monitor swdp_scan attach 1 file ./pinetime-app-full.hex load run ``` Example : ``` $ /home/jf/nrf52/gcc-arm-none-eabi-8-2019-q3-update/bin/arm-none-eabi-gdb (gdb) target extended-remote /dev/ttyACM0 Remote debugging using /dev/ttyACM0 (gdb) monitor swdp_scan Target voltage: ABSENT!
