How To Build
============
If you just want to write MicroPython code for card10, you probably **won't**
need to build the firmware yourself. This page is for people who want to work
on the underlying firmware itself.

.. code-block:: shell-session
dnf install arm-none-eabi-gcc arm-none-eabi-binutils arm-none-eabi-newlib
- macOS (Note: The card10 firmware team used Linux so far. macOS recommendations here are experimental.)
You can use `Homebrew`_ to install the required tools.
The version of the Arm crosscompiler tool chain is quite important; with the wrong version, e.g. strip and/or ld might throw strange errors.
.. code-block:: shell-session
brew tap px4/px4
brew install px4/px4/gcc-arm-none-eabi-63
brew install coreutils
- Alternative: Download `ARM's GNU toolchain`_. **TODO**
.. _Homebrew: https://brew.sh/
* **python3**: For meson and various scripts needed for building.
* **meson** (>0.43.0) & **ninja**: Unfortunately most distros only have very old versions
of meson in their repositories. Instead, you'll probably save yourself a lot
of headaches by installing meson from *pip*.
- Ubuntu / Debian:
- Ubuntu / Debian:
.. code-block:: shell-session
apt install ninja-build
pip3 install --user meson
- Arch (has latest *meson* in the repos):
- Arch (has latest *meson* in the repos):
.. code-block:: shell-session
pacman -S meson
- macOS
.. code-block:: shell-session
brew install ninja
pip3 install --user meson # see https://mesonbuild.com/Getting-meson.html - you will have to add ~/.local/bin to your PATH.
* **python3-crc16**: Install with ``pip3 install --user crc16``.
* **python3-pillow**: Python Image Library ``pip3 install --user pillow``.
