How to compile Firmware.bin without Arduino IDE (LPC17xx) #25

Open MrAntza99 opened 2 years ago

MrAntza99 commented 2 years ago

Im really badly stuck with compiling instructions, how to make firmware.bin without Arduino IDE / VSCode Platformio, since LPC17 based MKS SBASE 1.4 cant used on those and this branch is right ment for that kind of boards

Ive trying to follow several different instructions, but those are not so newbie friendly like step by step, which softwares to use, which commands should send and where.

First you need to install the arm-none-eabi-* tools from here: https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads

Then you need to install the gnu tools (make) from here (if you are on Windows!): https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/

Then install git (if you don't have it already) from here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.36.0.windows.1

Aftre that, follow the Build notes from the readme:

Build notes:

    Include make and the arm-none-eabi-* tools in your path.
    Run git submodule init and git submodule update before building.
    Make produces 2 files:
        build/firmware.bin: this is compatible with the sdcard bootloader.
        build/grbl.hex: this is not compatible with the sdcard bootloader. It loads using Flash Magic and is primarilly for developers who don't want to keep swapping sdcards. If you flash this, then you'll have to reflash the bootloader if you want to go back.
