Feature request - Documentation for building binaries

[jliphard]

The prebuilt binaries are very useful, but might it be possible to provide instructions for building new binaries? For example, for a Red OpenLog Artemis, what are the correct defines and correct settings for the Arduino IDE?

• Setting the Arduino IDE to Redboard Artemis Nano - is that right?
• And:

//#define noPowerLossProtection
#define HARDWARE_VERSION_MAJOR 1
#define HARDWARE_VERSION_MINOR 0
#define SD_FAT_TYPE 3

When I generate the binary that way, it compiles (after installing many libraries), but it does not run. By contrast, OpenLog_Artemis-V10-v25.bin works immediately. Anything obvious I'm doing wrong?

Also, despite the assertion in the comments, the boards do not seem to have a revision number?

Hi Jan (@jliphard ),

Building the binary is not easy. But, if you're up for a challenge, I've added abbreviated instructions here:

https://github.com/sparkfun/OpenLog_Artemis/blob/main/COMPILE_BINARY.md

If you don't mind, I'll use you as a Beta-tester. Please let me know if the instructions are clear enough and if you get the code to run successfully.

Thank you,
Paul

Thanks so much! Minor running notes:

1. Step 2 - path is actually “main" not “master”? In https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sparkfun/Arduino_Apollo3/master/package_sparkfun_apollo3_index.json
2. "Copy Paulvha's Patch for Apollo3" Confusing wording - basically, just replace five files in Arduino15\packages\SparkFun\hardware\apollo3\2.2.1 with five patched files from the .zip?
3. Could the "Extras" folder just be added to the main repo? (since you can't actually get it to work without the "Extras" which are not so extra?)

Otherwise, very straightforward and worked first try.

I'm using using:
Arduino Version: 2.0.4-nightly-20230215
Mac ARM Silicon

Hi Jan (@jliphard ),

Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated. Glad that's working for you - especially on Mac and with IDE v2!

1. Yes, indeed. Changed... The branch name was changed months ago - but the old name does still work.
2. Changed - to hopefully less confusing wording.
3. The core libmbed-os itself needs patching... That's tricky - and above my pay grade. Paulvha kindly provided a work-around with the pre-compiled .a binary for the ATP.

I'll close this, but please re-open if you need further help.

Best wishes,
Paul
