# Building from source
## Requirements
* Usual compilation toolchain, arm-none-eabi * genromfs * python-empy python-pip * sudo pip install caktin_pkg
If you want to edit a board config, you also need kconfig-frontends (provided by PX4/NuttX, use the setenv tool )
## Build
### Using CMake, manual
mkdir build/ cd build/ cmake .. -DCONFIG=nuttx_sparky2_default make -j2 -l2 make upload
### Using the Makefile, auto mode
You need a “recent” CMake (>= 3.3 ). On debian stable, you need to rebuild the package using the sources from testing. Uninstall sdcc before building the package, otherwise one of the tests fails :/
* `make yourboard_default`
Update the submodules and build the config for _yourboard_. The available configs are located in cmake/configs/ and your need to check the makefile in / to list the available build targets (which then make calls to the cmake configs)
The “binary” is then available in `build_yourboard_default/src/firmware/_os_/`
* `make yourboard_default upload`
Build and upload to the board using the PX4 bootloader
## Flash
### PX4 Bootloader
make -j2 -l2 sparky2_bl dfu-util -a 0 -d 0483:df11 -c 1 -i 0 -a 0 -s 0x08000000 -D sparky2_bl.bin

## Debug
#openocd -f interface/stlink-v2.cfg -f target/stm32f4x_stlink.cfg openocd -f Debug/sparky2-board.cfg
# Start GDB arm-none-eabi-gdb -x Debug/openocd.gdbinit ./build/src/firmware/nuttx/firmware_nuttx
#In GDB: #tar ext :3333
And debug as usual…
