Support for building inside Bash for Windows #150

Open sigboe opened 8 years ago

sigboe commented 8 years ago

Windows 10 update dubbed anniversary edition (horrible name) now supports installing Bash for Windows, which is developed in cooperation with Canonical, and works in effect similar to a chroot in Linux. It can be installed through Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off and practically installs Ubuntu in this chroot like environment.

It can be used for many things that cygwin can be used for, but I don't know the exact compatiblity. New applications can be installed from debian repositories (presumably they must be built for Windows? idk) jusing commands like apt installl and apt-get install.

Is compiling the firmware supported using Bash for Windows? If not, maybe compatibility issues should be looked into.

Yes, it's supported. I've tried it a few times. Should work exactly like Ubuntu.

There are a couple caveats.

  1. The load script doesn't work (haven't gotten lol libusb working).
  2. Not sure screen works for the virtual CLI

I think there's support for USB serial ports for very recent builds. Not sure about dfu-util yet though.
