Radio Firmware

Open-source firmware for the radio module used in Locha Mesh networking devices.

Getting started

First start by cloning the repository:

git clone https://github.com/btcven/radio-firmware.git

git submodule update --init --recursive

Install tools

Next you need to install the necessary tools to build and correctly flash Turpial's radio-firmware :

SRecord

Note: (make sure it's on PATH):

• Windows: Check the SRecord downloads.
• Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install srecord

Build essentials (make)

• Windows: you may need to install make manually or install MSYS2.
• Ubuntu sudo apt-get install build-essentials

ARM compiler

You should download it from GNU-RM Downloads.

On Ubuntu/Any Linux Distribution

wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-rm/9-2019q4/RC2.1/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2

tar xjf gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2

This will create a directory named gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major-x86_64-linux in your current working dir. Add <working-directory>/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_2-2015q4/bin to your $PATH.

Windows

arm-gcc(GNU-RM Downloads) has a downloadable installer for the GCC ARM compiler. Make sure after you install it is on your PATH, if not add it.

Uniflash

Install TI's Uniflash tool for your operating system. This tool allows you to upload the built firmware to the CC1312R radio module.

Building

The build process is very simple, just call make and it will build the firmware and then put it under the build/simplelink/.

make TARGET=simplelink BOARD=launchpad/cc1312r
