## Build steps ## Compile and Flash
Example is for the Adafruit Feather nRF52: Prerequisite steps for building the nrf5 port:
``` git clone <URL>.git micropython
> sudo apt-get install build-essential libffi-dev pkg-config gcc-arm-none-eabi git python python-pip cd micropython
> git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino.git git submodule update --init
> cd Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino/tools/nrfutil-0.5.2/ make -C mpy-cross
> sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
> sudo python setup.py install By default PCA10040 (nrf52832) is used as compile target. To build and flash issue the following command inside the nrf5/ folder:
> cd ../../..
> git clone https://github.com/tralamazza/micropython.git nrf5_no_sdk make
> cd nrf5_no_sdk/ make flash
> git submodule update --init
> make -C mpy-cross Alternatively the target board could be defined:
> cd nrf5/
> make BOARD=feather52 make BOARD=pca10040
> make BOARD=feather52 dfu-gen make flash
> make BOARD=feather52 dfu-flash
``` Available board target names:
* microbit
* feather52
* pca10000
* pca10001
* pca10028
* pca10031
* pca10040
* pca10056
## Compile and Flash with Bluetooth Stack
First prepare the bluetooth folder by downloading Bluetooth LE stacks and headers:
./drivers/bluetooth/download_ble_stack.sh
If the Bluetooth stacks has been downloaded, compile the target with the following command:
make BOARD=pca10040 SD=s132
make sd
The **make sd** will trigger a flash of the bluetooth stack before that application is flashed. Note that **make sd** will perform a full erase of the chip, which could cause 3rd party bootloaders to also be wiped.
Note: further tuning of features to include in bluetooth or even setting up the device to use REPL over Bluetooth can be configured in the bluetooth_conf.h.
Board | SD param | Support
------------|-------------|----------
microbit | s110 | Peripheral
pca10000 | s110 | Peripheral
pca10001 | s110 | Peripheral
pca10028 | s110 | Peripheral
pca10031 | s110 | Peripheral
pca10040 | s132 | Peripheral and Central
feather52 | s132 | Peripheral and Central
pca10056 | |
## Segger targets
Install the necessary tools to flash and debug using Segger:
[JLink](https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink#)
[nrfjprog linux-32bit](https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/52615/16/95882111/97746)
[nrfjprog linux-64bit](https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/51386/21/77886419/94917)
[nrfjprog osx](https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/53402/12/97293750/99977)
[nrfjprog win32](https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/33444/40/22191727/53210)
Boards that would need JLink/nrfjprog:
* PCA10000
* PCA10001
* PCA10028
* PCA10031
* PCA10040
* PCA10056
## PyOCD/OpenOCD targets
Install the necessary tools to flash and debug using OpenOCD:
sudo apt-get install openocd
sudo pip install pyOCD
Boards that would need PyOCD:
* micro:bit
## DFU targets
sudo apt-get install build-essential libffi-dev pkg-config gcc-arm-none-eabi git python python-pip
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino.git
cd Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino/tools/nrfutil-0.5.2/
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo python setup.py install
**make flash** and **make sd** will not work with DFU targets. Hence, **dfu-gen** and **dfu-flash** must be used instead.
* dfu-gen: Generates a Firmware zip to be used by the DFU flash application.
* dfu-flash: Triggers the DFU flash application to upload the firmware from the generated Firmware zip file.
Example on how to generate and flash feather52 target:
make BOARD=feather52
make BOARD=feather52 dfu-gen
make BOARD=feather52 dfu-flash
Boards that would need DFU flash utilities:
* feather52 (Adafruit Feather nRF52)
