TODO:
Before building the firmware for a given board the MicroPython cross-compiler must be built; it will be used to pre-compile some of the built-in scripts to bytecode. The cross-compiler is built and run on the host machine, using:
$ make -C mpy-cross
This command should be executed from the root directory of this repository. All other commands below should be executed from the ports/mimxrt/ directory.
An ARM compiler is required for the build, along with the associated binary utilities. The default compiler is arm-none-eabi-gcc
, which is available for Arch Linux via the package arm-none-eabi-gcc
, for Ubuntu via instructions here, or see here for the main GCC ARM Embedded page. The compiler can be changed using the CROSS_COMPILE
variable when invoking make
.
In addition newlib is required which is available for Arch Linux via the package arm-none-eabi-newlib
, for Ubuntu/Debian install package libnewlib-arm-none-eabi
Next, the board to build must be selected. Any of the board names of the subdirectories in the boards/
directory is a valid board. The board name must be passed as the argument to BOARD=
when invoking make
.
All boards require certain submodules to be obtained before they can be built. The correct set of submodules can be initialised using (with SEEED_ARCH_MIX
as an example of the selected board):
$ make BOARD=SEEED_ARCH_MIX submodules
Then to build the board's firmware run:
$ make BOARD=SEEED_ARCH_MIX
The above command should produce binary images in the build-SEEED_ARCH_MIX/
subdirectory (or the equivalent directory for the board specified).
Deploy the firmware following the instructions here https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/mimxrt/tutorial/intro.html#deploying-the-firmware
