Obtaining Toolchain / SDK

ARM cross compilation toolchain can be found at https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded Alternatively, you can use an optimized toolchain from http://tinkerpal.org/sat.tgz

BSPs are downloaded automatically as part of the build process

Building

> make menuconfig
> make

Environment Variables

• CROSS_COMPILE - compiler prefix

Building for a specific target

> make <defconfig file>
Where defconfig files can be found in boards/configs/
> make

Examples

Building as a Linux executable

> make unix_sim_gcc_defconfig
> make

The output executable can be found at ./build.Linux/tp

Building for the Stellaris Launchpad on Linux

> export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi-
> make lm4f120xl_gcc_defconfig
> make

The output file can be found at ./build.Linux/tp.bin

Flashing TinkerPal

Most targets can be flashed by running 'make burn'. Note: this requires root privileges
