Installation
============
The toolchain may be selected using the kconfig-mconf tool (via ``make
menuconfig``), by editing the existing configuration file (defconfig), or by
overriding the toolchain on the make commandline with
``CONFIG_AVR_TOOLCHAIN=<toolchain>``.
The valid values for ``<toolchain>`` are BUILDROOT, CROSSPACK, LINUXGCC and
WINAVR.
Buildroot
---------
There is a DIY buildroot version for the AVR boards here:
http://bitbucket.org/nuttx/buildroot/downloads/. See the following section for
details on building this toolchain.
You may also have to modify the PATH environment variable if your make cannot
find the tools.
After configuring NuttX, make sure that ``CONFIG_AVR_BUILDROOT_TOOLCHAIN=y`` is
set in your ``.config`` file.
WinAVR
------
For Cygwin development environment on Windows machines, you can use
WinAVR: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winavr/files/
You may also have to modify the PATH environment variable if your make cannot
find the tools.
After configuring NuttX, make sure that ``CONFIG_AVR_WINAVR_TOOLCHAIN=y`` is set
in your ``.config`` file.
.. warning::
There is an incompatible version of cygwin.dll in the WinAVR/bin
directory! Make sure that the path to the correct cygwin.dll file precedes
the path to the WinAVR binaries!
Linux
-----
For Linux, there are widely available avr-gcc packages. On Ubuntu, use:
.. code:: console
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-avr gdb-avr avr-libc
After configuring NuttX, make sure that ``CONFIG_AVR_LINUXGCC_TOOLCHAIN=y`` is
set in your ``.config`` file.
macOS
-----
For macOS, the CrossPack for AVR toolchain is available from:
http://www.obdev.at/products/crosspack/index.html
This toolchain is functionally equivalent to the Linux GCC toolchain.
Windows Native Toolchains
-------------------------
The WinAVR toolchain is a Windows native toolchain. There are several
limitations to using a Windows native toolchain in a Cygwin environment.
The three biggest are:
1. The Windows toolchain cannot follow Cygwin paths. Path conversions are
performed automatically in the Cygwin makefiles using the 'cygpath'
utility but you might easily find some new path problems. If so, check
out ``cygpath -w``
2. Windows toolchains cannot follow Cygwin symbolic links. Many symbolic
links are used in NuttX (e.g., include/arch). The make system works
around these problems for the Windows tools by copying directories
instead of linking them. But this can also cause some confusion for
you: For example, you may edit a file in a "linked" directory and find
that your changes had no effect. That is because you are building the
copy of the file in the "fake" symbolic directory. If you use a
Windows toolchain, you should get in the habit of making like this:
.. code:: console
$ make clean_context all
An alias in your ``.bashrc`` file might make that less painful.
An additional issue with the WinAVR toolchain, in particular, is that it
contains an incompatible version of the Cygwin DLL in its ``bin/`` directory.
You must take care that the correct Cygwin DLL is used.
NuttX buildroot Toolchain
-------------------------
If NuttX buildroot toolchain source tarball cne can be downloaded from the NuttX
Bitbucket download site (https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/nuttx/downloads/). This GNU
toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin environment.
1. You must have already configured NuttX in ``<some-dir>/nuttx``.
.. note::
You also must copy avr-libc header files into the NuttX include directory
with command perhaps like:
.. code:: console
$ cp -a /cygdrive/c/WinAVR/include/avr include/.
2. Download the latest buildroot package into ``<some-dir>``
3. Unpack the buildroot tarball. The resulting directory may have versioning
information on it like 'buildroot-x.y.z'. If so, rename
``<some-dir>/buildroot-x.y.z`` to ``<some-dir>/buildroot``.
4. Run the following commands:
.. code:: console
$ cd <some-dir>/buildroot
$ cp boards/avr-defconfig-4.5.2 .config
$ make oldconfig
$ make
5. Make sure that the PATH variable includes the path to the newly built
binaries.
See the file boards/README.txt in the buildroot source tree. That has more
detailed PLUS some special instructions that you will need to follow if you are
building a toolchain for Cygwin under Windows.
``avr-libc``
------------
**Header Files**
In any case, header files from avr-libc are required:
http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/. A snapshot of avr-lib is included in the WinAVR
installation. For Linux development platforms, avr-libc package is readily
available (and would be installed in the apt-get command shown above). But if
you are using the NuttX buildroot configuration on Cygwin, then you will have to
build get avr-libc from binaries.
**Header File Installation**
The NuttX build will required that the AVR header files be available via
the NuttX include directory. This can be accomplished by either copying
the avr-libc header files into the NuttX include directory:
.. code:: console
$ cp -a <avr-libc-path>/include/avr <nuttx-path>/include/.
Or simply using a symbolic link:
.. code:: console
$ ln -s <avr-libc-path>/include/avr <nuttx-path>/include/.
.. note::
It may not be necessary to have a built version of avr-lib; only header files
are required. But if you choose to use the optimized library functions of
the floating point library, then you may have to build avr-lib from sources.
Below are instructions for building avr-lib from fresh sources:
1. Download the avr-libc package from:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avr-libc/. I am using
avr-lib-1.7.1.tar.bz2
2. Unpack the tarball and ``cd`` into it.
.. code:: console
$ tar jxf avr-lib-1.7.1.tar.bz2
$ cd avr-lib-1.7.1
3. Configure avr-lib. Assuming that WinAVR is installed at the following
location:
.. code:: console
$ export PATH=/cygdrive/c/WinAVR/bin:$PATH
$ ./configure --build=`./config.guess` --host=avr
This takes a *long* time.
4. Make avr-lib by running ``make``.
This also takes a long time because it generates variants for nearly
all AVR chips.
5. Install avr-lib by running ``make install``.
Configurations
==============
Amber Web Server configurations can be selected as follows:
.. code:: console
$ tools/configuresh amber:<config>
Where ``<config>`` i one of the configurations list below.
.. note::
You must also cop avr-libc header files, perhaps like:
.. code:: console
$ cp -a /cygdrve/c/WinAVR/include/avr include/.
