# Building in Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
Building for Ubuntu platform is remarkably easy. The only trick to understand is that the Ubuntu toolchain,
|
|
which they are downstreaming from Debian, is not compatible with Cleanflight. We suggest that you take an
|
|
alternative PPA from Terry Guo, found here:
|
|
|
|
https://launchpad.net/~terry.guo/+archive/ubuntu/gcc-arm-embedded
|
|
|
|
## Setup GNU ARM Toolchain
|
|
|
|
Note specifically the last paragraph of Terry's PPA documentation -- Ubuntu carries its own package for
|
|
`gcc-arm-none-eabi`, so you'll have to remove it, and then pin the one from the PPA.
|
|
For your release, you should first remove any older pacakges (from Debian or Ubuntu directly), introduce
|
|
Terry's PPA, and update:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get remove binutils-arm-none-eabi gcc-arm-none-eabi
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:terry.guo/gcc-arm-embedded
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu 14.10 (current release, called Utopic Unicorn), you should pin:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi=4.9.3.2014q4-0utopic12
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu 14.04 (an LTS as of Q1'2015, called Trusty Tahr), you should pin:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi=4.9.3.2014q4-0trusty12
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu 12.04 (previous LTS, called Precise Penguin), you should pin:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi=4.9.3.2014q4-0precise12
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building on Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
After the ARM toolchain from Terry is installed, you should be able to build from source.
|
|
```
|
|
cd src
|
|
git clone git@github.com:cleanflight/cleanflight.git
|
|
cd cleanflight
|
|
make TARGET=NAZE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll see a set of files being compiled, and finally linked, yielding both an ELF and then a HEX:
|
|
```
|
|
...
|
|
arm-none-eabi-size ./obj/main/cleanflight_NAZE.elf
|
|
text data bss dec hex filename
|
|
97164 320 11080 108564 1a814 ./obj/main/cleanflight_NAZE.elf
|
|
arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O ihex --set-start 0x8000000 obj/main/cleanflight_NAZE.elf obj/cleanflight_NAZE.hex
|
|
$ ls -la obj/cleanflight_NAZE.hex
|
|
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pim pim 274258 Jan 12 21:45 obj/cleanflight_NAZE.hex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can use the Cleanflight-Configurator to flash the ```obj/cleanflight_NAZE.hex``` file.
|
|
|
|
## Updating and rebuilding
|
|
|
|
Navigate to the local cleanflight repository and use the following steps to pull the latest changes and rebuild your version of cleanflight:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd src/cleanflight
|
|
git reset --hard
|
|
git pull
|
|
make clean TARGET=NAZE
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
There are compiler issues with at least the Sparky target.
