| Development Environment Setup on Linux |
| ###################################### |
| |
| This section describes how to set up a Linux development system. |
| |
| After completing these steps, you will be able to compile and run your Zephyr |
| applications on the following Linux distributions: |
| |
| * Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit |
| * Fedora 25 64-bit |
| |
| Where needed, alternative instructions are listed for Ubuntu and Fedora. |
| |
| Installing the Host's Operating System |
| ************************************** |
| |
| Building the project's software components including the kernel has been |
| tested on Ubuntu and Fedora systems. Instructions for installing these OSes |
| are beyond the scope of this document. |
| |
| Update Your Operating System |
| **************************** |
| |
| Before proceeding with the build, ensure your OS is up to date. On Ubuntu, |
| you'll first need to update the local database list of available packages |
| before upgrading: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| sudo apt-get update |
| sudo apt-get upgrade |
| |
| On Fedora: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| sudo dnf upgrade |
| |
| Note that having a newer version available for an installed package |
| (and reported by ``dnf check-update``) does not imply a subsequent |
| ``dnf upgrade`` will install it, because it must also ensure dependencies |
| and other restrictions are satisfied. |
| |
| Installing Requirements and Dependencies |
| **************************************** |
| |
| Install the following with either apt-get or dnf. |
| |
| Install the required packages in a Ubuntu host system with: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends git cmake ninja-build gperf \ |
| ccache doxygen dfu-util device-tree-compiler \ |
| python3-ply python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel xz-utils file \ |
| make gcc-multilib autoconf automake libtool |
| |
| Install the required packages in a Fedora host system with: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| sudo dnf group install "Development Tools" "C Development Tools and Libraries" |
| sudo dnf install git cmake ninja-build gperf ccache\ |
| doxygen dfu-util dtc python3-pip \ |
| python3-ply python3-yaml dfu-util dtc python3-pykwalify \ |
| glibc-devel.i686 libstdc++-devel.i686 autoconf automake libtool |
| |
| Install additional packages required for development with Zephyr:: |
| |
| cd ~/zephyr # or to your directory where zephyr is cloned |
| pip3 install --user -r scripts/requirements.txt |
| |
| If you require pyocd, an open source python2 library for programming and |
| debugging ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, use this command:: |
| |
| pip2 install --user -r scripts/py2-requirements.txt |
| |
| CMake version 3.8.2 or higher is required. Check what version you have using |
| ``cmake --version``, and if its an older version, check the backports or |
| install a more recent version manually. For example, to install version |
| 3.8.2 from the CMake website directly in ~/cmake:: |
| |
| mkdir $HOME/cmake && cd $HOME/cmake |
| wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.8/cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64.sh |
| yes | sh cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64.sh | cat |
| echo "export PATH=$PWD/cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64/bin:\$PATH" >> $HOME/.zephyrrc |
| source <zephyr git clone location>/zephyr-env.sh |
| cmake --version |
| |

| |
| Installing the Zephyr Software Development Kit |
| ============================================== |
| |
| Zephyr's :abbr:`SDK (Software Development Kit)` contains all necessary tools |
| and cross-compilers needed to build the kernel on all supported |
| architectures. Additionally, it includes host tools such as a custom QEMU and |
| a host compiler for building host tools if necessary. The SDK supports the |
| following architectures: |
| |
| * :abbr:`X86 (Intel Architecture 32 bits)` |
| |
| * :abbr:`X86 IAMCU ABI (Intel Architecture 32 bits IAMCU ABI)` |
| |
| * :abbr:`ARM (Advanced RISC Machines)` |
| |
| * :abbr:`ARC (Argonaut RISC Core)` |
| |
| * :abbr:`NIOS II` |
| |
| * :abbr:`Xtensa` |
| |
| * :abbr:`RISC-V` |
| |
| Follow these steps to install the SDK on your Linux host system. |
| |
| #. Download the latest SDK self-extractable binary. |
| |
| Visit the `Zephyr SDK archive`_ to find all available SDK versions, |
| including the latest version. |
| |
| Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the |
| desired version (*0.9.3* can be replaced with the version number you |
| wish to download). |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| wget https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/meta-zephyr-sdk/releases/download/0.9.3/zephyr-sdk-0.9.3-setup.run |
| |
| #. Run the installation binary, follow this example: |
| |
| .. important:: |
| Make sure you have installed all required packages for your host |
| distribution as described in the previous section |
| `Installing Requirements and Dependencies`_ otherwise the SDK installation will fail. |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| sh zephyr-sdk-<version>-setup.run |
| |
| There is no need to use ``sudo`` if the SDK is installed in the current |
| user's home directory. |
| |
| #. Follow the installation instructions on the screen. The |
| toolchain's default installation location is :file:`/opt/zephyr-sdk/`. |
| To install in the default installation location, you will need to use sudo. It is recommended |
| to install the SDK in your home directory and not in a system directory. |
| |
| #. To use the Zephyr SDK, export the following environment variables and |
| use the target location where SDK was installed, type: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| export ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT=zephyr |
| export ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=<sdk installation directory> |
| |
| To use the same toolchain in new sessions in the future you can set the |
| variables in the file :file:`${HOME}/.zephyrrc`, for example: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| cat <<EOF > ~/.zephyrrc |
| export ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT=zephyr |
| export ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/zephyr-sdk |
| EOF |
| |
| .. note:: In previous releases of Zephyr, the ``ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT`` |
| variable was called ``ZEPHYR_GCC_VARIANT``. |
