Development Environment Setup on Windows
########################################
This section describes how to configure your development environment and
to build Zephyr applications in a Microsoft Windows environment.
This guide was tested by building the Zephyr :ref:`hello_world` sample
application on Windows versions 7, 8.1, and 10.
Update Your Operating System
****************************
Before proceeding with the build, ensure that you are running your
Windows system with the latest updates installed.

Installing Requirements and Dependencies
****************************************
Using MSYS2
===========
The Zephyr development environment on Windows relies on MSYS2, a modern UNIX
environment for Windows. Follow the steps below to set it up:
#. Download and install :program:`MSYS2`. Download the appropriate (32 or
64-bit) MSYS2 installer from the `MSYS2 website`_ and execute it. On the
final installation screen, check the "Run MSYS2 now." box to start up an
MSYS2 shell when installation is complete. Follow the rest of the
installation instructions on the MSYS2 website to update the package
database and core system packages. You may be advised to "terminate MSYS2
without returning to shell and check for updates again". If so, simply
close the ``MSYS2 MSYS Shell`` desktop app and run it again to complete the update.)
#. Launch the ``MSYS2 MSYS Shell`` desktop app from your start menu (if it's not still open).
.. note::
Make sure you start ``MSYS2 MSYS Shell``, not ``MSYS2 MinGW Shell``.
.. note::
There are multiple ``export`` statements in this tutorial. You can avoid
typing them every time by placing them at the bottom of your
``~/.bash_profile`` file.
#. If you're behind a corporate firewall, you'll likely need to specify a
proxy to get access to internet resources::
$ export http_proxy=http://proxy.mycompany.com:123
$ export https_proxy=$http_proxy
#. Update MSYS2's packages and install the dependencies required to build
Zephyr (you may need to restart the MSYS2 shell):
.. code-block:: console
$ pacman -Syu
$ pacman -S git make gcc dtc diffutils ncurses-devel python3 gperf
#. From within the MSYS2 MSYS Shell, clone a copy of the Zephyr source into
your home directory using Git:
.. code-block:: console
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr.git
#. Install pip and the required Python modules::
$ curl -O 'https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py'
$ ./get-pip.py
$ rm get-pip.py
$ pip install --user -r scripts/requirements.txt
#. The build system should now be ready to work with any toolchain installed in
your system. In the next step you'll find instructions for installing
toolchains for building both x86 and ARM applications.
#. Install cross compiler toolchain:
* For x86, install the 2017 Windows host ISSM toolchain from the Intel
Developer Zone: `ISSM Toolchain`_. Use your web browser to
download the toolchain's ``tar.gz`` file.
You'll need the tar application to unpack this file. In an ``MSYS2 MSYS``
console, install ``tar`` and use it to extract the toolchain archive::
$ pacman -S tar
$ tar -zxvf /c/Users/myusername/Downloads/issm-toolchain-windows-2017-01-15.tar.gz -C /c
substituting the .tar.gz path name with the one you downloaded.
.. note::
The ISSM toolset only supports development for Intel |reg| Quark |trade|
Microcontrollers, for example, the Arduino 101 board. (Check out the
"Zephyr Development Environment
Setup" in this `Getting Started on Arduino 101 with ISSM`_ document.)
Additional setup is required to use the ISSM GUI for development.
* For ARM, install GNU ARM Embedded from the ARM developer website:
`GNU ARM Embedded`_ (install to :file:`c:\\gccarmemb`).
#. Within the MSYS console, set up environment variables for the installed
tools and for the Zephyr environment (using the provided shell script):
For x86:
.. code-block:: console
$ export ZEPHYR_GCC_VARIANT=issm
$ export ISSM_INSTALLATION_PATH=/c/issm0-toolchain-windows-2017-01-25
Use the path where you extracted the ISSM toolchain.
For ARM:
.. code-block:: console
$ export ZEPHYR_GCC_VARIANT=gccarmemb
$ export GCCARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=/c/gccarmemb
And for either, run the provided script to set up zephyr project specific
variables:
.. code-block:: console
$ unset ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR
$ source ~/zephyr/zephyr-env.sh
#. Finally, you can try building the :ref:`hello_world` sample to check things
out.
To build for the Intel |reg| Quark |trade| (x86-based) Arduino 101:
.. code-block:: console
$ cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/hello_world
$ make BOARD=arduino_101
To build for the ARM-based Nordic nRF52 Development Kit:
.. code-block:: console
$ cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/hello_world
$ make BOARD=nrf52_pca10040
This should check that all the tools and toolchain are set up correctly for
your own Zephyr development.
Using Windows 10 WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
==================================================
If you are running a recent version of Windows 10 you can make use of the
built-in functionality to natively run Ubuntu binaries directly on a standard
command-prompt. This allows you to install the standard Zephyr SDK and build
for all supported architectures without the need for a Virtual Machine.
#. Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) following the instructions on the
official Microsoft website: `WSL Installation`_
.. note::
For the Zephyr SDK to function properly you will need Windows 10
build 15002 or greater. You can check which Windows 10 build you are
running in the "About your PC" section of the System Settings.
If you are running an older Windows 10 build you might need to install
the Creator's Update.
#. Follow the instructions for Ubuntu detailed in the Zephyr Linux Getting
Started Guide which can be found here: :ref:`installation_linux`
