Prerequisites

Prerequites are mostly inherited from ChibiOS and related to the architecture of the board, OS for development and debugging should be GNU/Linux or al least a POSIX compliant shell and GNU utilities

• arm-none-eabi toolchain

  GNU Embedded toolchain used to compile, link and debug the code for embedded devices.

• OpenOCD

  Used to connect to the board and flash or debug the code. OpenOCD

• Jlink

  Download from the official site, Segger.

  For Linux, if the tar package is chosen, the path of the installation should be appended to system PATH variable.

Building

1. Make sure all git submodules are up to date(git submodule sync) and downloaded (git submodule update --recursive).
2. Run make all to build the binary.

Flashing

1. Plug the board through USB and make sure it is detected as a device through lsusb.
2. Run make flash to flash with J-link or make openocd-flash

Debugging

1. Start the GDB server with make openocd-debug-server
2. Open a GDB session with make openocd-debug

A GBD server or session is created for each DWM1001-DEV board connected
