Build Question

[Doyle4]

Hello, Is it possible to compile a firmware on Visual Studio Code? If so, is it possible to know how please? I have imported it in but cant find a way to build.

Thanks :)

Edit/Update. Asking because I have no clue how to do it via Terminal on my Mac, I have python installed etc, but never built a firmware via terminal before sorry.

Hello,

So the easiest way is to use the start-dev script to launch a Docker container will all the tools installed and then attach visual studio code to that.

You can then use the make file to compile the code (or the build script).

Thanks for your reply, I was just updating my question as you replied.

Seems much easier via terminal then :) How would I start the process? So far I have tried: Dragging Makefile into terminal = Error Dragging Build.sh into terminal = Error All above with make -j8 lang=TS100=EN model on the end = Error.

Sorry, still new to building things my self

Ah, so your on mac.

So the "simplest" (and cleanest cleanup later) is to use the docker container to create a small Ubuntu environment that vscode can attach to + has the compilers setup. Below are a list of steps, not 1000% on these as I dont own any Apple devices, but

1. Install docker for mac + docker compose (if its not included)
2. Install the vscode extension "Vs code remote - containers"
3. Clone the source code somewhere if you haven't
4. In terminal change to the folder of the code
5. Run ./start_dev.sh in the terminal
6. Docker will take a while to build the image and then drops you into a shell
7. Minimise this window
8. Open VS Code
9. Click the green icon in the lower left
10. Select attach to running container
11. Select the only one in the list (assuming this is your first time)
12. Vscode should spin for a bit and then connect you into the container
13. Open the folder in VS Code /build/source
14. You can now edit all of the source code as you wish
15. To build, in the terminal at the bottom of the window, you want to cd to /build/source/Workspace/TS100/
16. And then execute the ./build.sh to build everything or you can use the make command to build different models / languages.

Now, if you dont want to edit anything and instead just compile. You can instead just do steps 1,3,4,5,6, and then in the terminal window run steps 15/16

The main reason to use the docker image is that you need specific compilers depending on the model of the microcontroller. You can install these via brew i believe, but the dockerfile is known to work :)

[Doyle4]

Thank you! Once back home will try this.

Thanks again!

Sadly no luck, will be honest and say I have no clue what Im doing, I never used Terminal for anything, downloaded Docker and Compose and getting constant errors.

You cant just drag the file onto terminal You need to use the cd command to change into the right folder first, then run start_dev.sh

Thanks again for replying, and sorry for been a pain.

I think it's best I just download compiled versions.

Your Docker daemon is not running. Start Docker daemon first.

Thank you, will give this a try.
