Quick Start Guide

1. Download RIOT

git clone git://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT

2. Get a Toolchain

Go to RIOT-Platforms, follow the links for your board/platform and install the toolchain you need. The easiest path is to use the virtual native board (build dependencies).

3. Build an example application

RIOT is like a set of libraries for your application, therefore you can't build RIOT on its own. RIOT comes with some example applications. Build and run hello-world to see if everything works:

cd RIOT/examples/hello-world
make -B clean all
make flash
make term

Press ctrl+c to exit.
