Prusa Firmware build environment v1.0.6

Prusa Firmware build environment v1.0.6

It is based on mkbel Linux64 build environment v1.0.6 and Arduino IDE 1.8.5 portable

Updates made since v1.0.2

• Minimized to Prusa specific library changes

Prepare. To use this build environment on a Windows machine you gonna need:

If you want to use the automated PF-build.sh you gonna need to install on your Windows a Linux subsystem or Git-bash

Steps for Linux subsystem und Windows 10 64-bit:

• follow the Microsoft guide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
• Tested versions are at this moment

  • Ubuntu other may different

  • After the installation and reboot please open your Ubuntu bash and do following steps

  • run command apt-get update

  • to install zip run apt-get install zip

  • add few lines at the top of ~/.bashrc by running sudo nano ~/.bashrc

    export OS="Linux"
    export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
    export GPG_TTY=$(tty)

    use CRTL-X to close nano and confirm to write the new entries

  • restart Ubuntu bash
    Now your Ubuntu subsystem is ready to use the automatic PF-build.sh script and compile your firmware correctly

Some Tips for Ubuntu

• Linux is case sensetive so please don't forget to use capital letters where needed, like changing to a directory
• To change the path to your Prusa-Firmware location you downloaded and unzipped
  • Example: You files are under C:\Users\<your-username>\Downloads\Prusa-Firmware-MK3
  • use under Ubuntu the following command cd /mnt/c/Users/<your-username>/Downloads/Prusa-Firmware-MK3
    to change to the right folder

Compile Prusa-firmware with Ubuntu Linux subsystem installed

• open Ubuntu bash
• change to your source code folder (case sensitive)
• run ./PF-build.sh
• follow the instructions

Steps for Git-bash under Windows 10 64-bit:

• Download and install the 64bit Git version https://git-scm.com/download/win
• Also follow these instructions https://gist.github.com/evanwill/0207876c3243bbb6863e65ec5dc3f058
• Download and install 7z-zip from its official website https://www.7-zip.org/
  By default, it is installed under the directory /c/Program Files/7-Zip in Windows 10
• Run Git-Bash under Administrator privilege
• navigate to the directory /c/Program Files/Git/mingw64/bin
• run ln -s /c/Program Files/7-Zip/7z.exe zip.exe

Compile Prusa-firmware with Git-bash installed

• open Git-bash
• change to your source code folder
• run bash PF-build.sh
• follow the instructions

Usefull tools:

• Download and install current and correct (64bit or 32bit) Notepad++ version https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download

• Another great tool to compare your custom mod and stock firmware is WinMerge http://winmerge.org/downloads/?lang=en

• You can use it also as well as a GUI Arduino version for Prusa-Firmware and MMU2 MM-control-01, if you do so please use it exclusively for this purpose otherwise the PF-build.sh script in the Prusa Firmware might not work properly anymore.
