Getting Started

Prerequisites/Requirements

• Linux machine or Windows with wsl enabled.
  • Click here for WSL installation process.
• User can either use VS-Code (remote) or vim/nano/etc. editors for making changes.
• Install dependencies, run following command: (Ubuntu)

  sudo apt update && sudo apt install build-essential cppcheck tree ninja-build libpixman-1-dev libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg8-dev libgif-dev libglib2.0-dev libgcrypt20-dev python3-venv -y

  These are necessary to fetch tools like make, native gcc, linting tools and other libraries needed by other tools such as qemu.
• You are required to know how to use git.
• [Optional but Recommended] Add ssh key to github, click here for guide. This will let user access github without username and password. However, please do setup git cli/gui and configure your system account on your workstation.
• Run the following command to download/clone Cyancore

  git clone [email protected]:VisorFolks/cyancore.git

• After cloning, run the following command:

  make get_avr_tc    # This will clone AVR toolchain from git repository

• We use vim for developement. But VSCode support is also added in the repo.

  Disclaimer: VS-Code is open and we are not promoting it.

Build a project

• Run make list to get the list of all projects
• Choose the project you wish to build and run it as follows make <project_name>

  $ make list
  Available projects are :
  demo_avr demo_avr_cpp demo_riscv
  
  $ make demo_avr    # This will build the project "demo_avr"
