Necessary tools:
- make
- arm-none-eabi-gcc
- arm-none-eabi-newlib
- nRF5x-Command-Line-Tools
- nrfutil
sudo pacman -S make arm-none-eabi-gcc arm-none-eabi-newlib yaourt python-pip
sudo yaourt -S nrf5x-command-line-tools or downlonad and install it form here
sudo pip install nrfutil
TOOLCHAIN
Ubuntu 18.04 has a bug in repository version of 'newlib' which prevents output file from linking. arm-none-eabi-gcc and arm-none-eabi-newlib should be installed externally, for example:
Download toolchain:
wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-rm/7-2018q2/gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2-update-linux.tar.bz2
Unpack:
tar xfv gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2-update-linux.tar.bz2
Now add newly installed toolchain to /usr/bin :
sudo ln -s `pwd`/gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2-update/bin/* /usr/bin/.
or alternatively modify NeuroonOpenFirmware/sdk/components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.posix file to suit your needs.
NRFTOOLS
First download JLink Software, than install it using sudo dpkg -i JLink_Linux_x86_64.deb. It is adviced to reboot your machine after installation.
Now download nRF-Command-Line-Tools: wget -O nRF-Command-Line-Tools_9_8_1_Linux-x86_64.tar https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/58852/31/84507885/94917
extract:
mkdir nrftools && cd nrftools
mv ../nRF-Command-Line-Tools_9_8_1_Linux-x86_64.tar .
tar xfv nRF-Command-Line-Tools_9_8_1_Linux-x86_64.tar
add to binaries:
sudo ln -s `pwd`/nrfjprog/nrfjprog /usr/bin/.
TODO
TODO
Windows is able to pass USB debugger to virtual machine(Virtual Box) and Neuroon can be flashed from within the vm(preferably Arch/Manjaro)
git clone https://github.com/inteliclinic/NeuroonOpenFirmware.git
cd NeuroonOpenFirmware
git submodule update --init
make -j4
make flash flash_softdevice
Flashing bootloader TODO
This is the easiest way to flash Neuroon. J-Link debugger should be immediately recognized by your operating system. It can be stand alone debuger or dev-board with onboard J-Link (like Nordic Semiconductor PCA10040)
Please refer to flashing instructions
