Build instructions for Embedded (ARM port)

First clone, initialize submodules and install Pipenv as defined here. Do not forget you need to be in a pipenv shell environment!

Requirements

You will need the GCC ARM toolchain for building and OpenOCD for flashing to a device. You will also need Python dependencies for signing.

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install scons gcc-arm-none-eabi libnewlib-arm-none-eabi

NixOS

There is a shell.nix file in the root of the project. Just run the following before entering the core directory:

nix-shell

OS X

Download gcc-arm-none-eabi
Follow the install instructions
To install OpenOCD, run brew install open-ocd
Run make vendor build_boardloader build_bootloader build_firmware

Building

make vendor build_boardloader build_bootloader build_firmware

Uploading

Use make upload to upload the firmware to a production device. Do not forget to enter bootloader on the device beforehand.

Flashing

For flashing firmware to blank device (without bootloader) use make flash, or make flash STLINK_VER=v2-1 if using a ST-LINK/V2.1 interface. You need to have OpenOCD installed.

Building in debug mode

You can also build firmware in debug mode to see log output or run tests.

PYOPT=0 make build_firmware

You can then use screen to enter the device's console. Do not forget to add your user to the dialout group or use sudo. Note that both the group and the tty name can differ, use ls -l to find out proper names on your machine.

screen /dev/ttyACM0

Debug console via serial port is enabled only for the Bitcoin-only firmware. If you need the console to debug non-Bitcoin features, please edit src/usb.py, disable WebAuthn USB interface and enable the VCP USB interface.
