Build CircuitPython in a Github-Devcontainer
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
To build CircuitPython within a Github-Devcontainer, you need to perform
|
|
the following steps.
|
|
|
|
1. checkout the code to a devcontainer
|
|
|
|
- click on the green "<> Code"-button
|
|
- select the Codespaces-tab
|
|
- choose "+ new with options..." from the "..."-menu
|
|
- in the following screen select the branch and then
|
|
- select ".devcontainer/cortex-m/devcontainer.json" instead
|
|
of "Default Codespaces configuration"
|
|
- update region as necessary
|
|
- finally, click on the green "Create codespace" button
|
|
|
|
2. Your codespace is created. Cloning the images is quite fast, but
|
|
preparing it for CircuitPython-development takes about 10 minutes.
|
|
Note that this is a one-time task.
|
|
|
|
3. During creation, you can run the command
|
|
`tail -f /workspaces/.codespaces/.persistedshare/creation.log`
|
|
to see what is going on.
|
|
|
|
4. To actually build CircuitPython, run
|
|
|
|
cd ports/raspberrypi
|
|
make -j $(nproc) BOARD=whatever TRANSLATION=xx_XX
|
|
|
|
This takes about 2m40s.
