Development

Setting Up Prerequisites

Currently, only Ubuntu 14.04+ officially supported as primary development environment.

There are several dependencies, that should be installed manually. The following list is required for building:

• gcc or g++ higher than 4.8.2
  • native
  • arm-none-eabi
• cmake higher than 2.8.12.2
• make higher than 3.81
• bash higher than 4.3.11

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ gcc-arm-none-eabi cmake

These tools are required for development:

• cppcheck requires libpcre
• vera++ requires tcl, tk and boost

sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
sudo apt-get install tcl8.6 tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev libboost-all-dev

Upon first build, make would try to setup prerequisites, required for further development and pre-commit testing:

• STM32F3 and STM32F4 libraries
• cppcheck 1.66
• vera++ 1.2.1

make prerequisites -j

It may take time, so go grab some coffee:

Building Debug Version

To build debug version for Linux:

make debug.linux -j

To build debug version for Linux without LTO (Link Time Optimization):

LTO=OFF make debug.linux -j

Checking Patch

make precommit -j

If some style guidelines, build or test runs fail during precommit, then this is indicated with a message like this:

Build failed. See ./build/bin/unittests/make.log for details.
