Clone instructions:

Energia consists of the main repository and a submodule called emt. The emt tree contains the sources for the Energia MT (Multi Tasking) feature that is based on TI-RTOS/SYSBIOS. To clone Energia and the emt submodule:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/energia/Energia.git

If you already have a clone of Energia then:

git submodule update --init --recursive
git submodule sync
cd emt
git pull
cd ..
