# Build
## Dependencies
To build this project, you'll need:
 - A cross-compiler : [ARM-GCC (9-2020-q2-update)](https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads/9-2020-q2-update)
 - The NRF52 SDK 15.3.0 : [nRF-SDK v15.3.0](https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF5_SDK/nRF5_SDK_v15.x.x/nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345.zip)
 - A reasonably recent version of CMake (I use 3.16.5)

## Build steps 
### Clone the repo
```
git clone https://github.com/JF002/Pinetime.git
cd Pinetime
mkdir build
cd build
```
### Project generation using CMake
CMake configures the project according to variables you specify the command line. The variables are:

 Variable | Description | Example|
----------|-------------|--------|
**ARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH**|path to the toolchain directory|`-DARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=/home/jf/nrf52/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2020-q2-update/`|
**NRF5_SDK_PATH**|path to the NRF52 SDK|`-DNRF5_SDK_PATH=/home/jf/nrf52/Pinetime/sdk`|
**USE_JLINK, USE_GDB_CLIENT and USE_OPENOCD**|Enable *JLink* mode, *GDB Client* (Black Magic Probe) mode or *OpenOCD* mode (set the one you want to use to `1`)|`-DUSE_JLINK=1`
**CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE**| Build type (Release or Debug). Release is applied by default if this variable is not specified.|`-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug`
**NRFJPROG**|Path to the NRFJProg executable. Used only if `USE_JLINK` is 1.|`-DNRFJPROG=/opt/nrfjprog/nrfjprog`
**GDB_CLIENT_BIN_PATH**|Path to arm-none-eabi-gdb executable. Used only if `USE_GDB_CLIENT` is 1.|`-DGDB_CLIENT_BIN_PATH=/home/jf/nrf52/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major/bin/arm-none-eabi-gdb`
**GDB_CLIENT_TARGET_REMOTE**|Target remote connection string. Used only if `USE_GDB_CLIENT` is 1.|`-DGDB_CLIENT_TARGET_REMOTE=/dev/ttyACM0`


#### CMake command line for JLink
```
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=... -DNRF5_SDK_PATH=... -DUSE_JLINK=1 -DNRFJPROG=... ../
```

#### CMake command line for GDB Client (Black Magic Probe)
```
cmake -DARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=... -DNRF5_SDK_PATH=... -DUSE_GDB_CLIENT=1 -DGDB_CLIENT_BIN_PATH=... -DGDB_CLIENT_TARGET_REMOTE=... ../
```

#### CMake command line for OpenOCD
```
cmake -DARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=... -DNRF5_SDK_PATH=... -DUSE_OPENOCD=1 -DGDB_CLIENT_BIN_PATH=[optional] ../
```

### Build the project
During the project generation, CMake created the following targets:
- FLASH_ERASE : mass erase the flash memory of the NRF52.
- FLASH_pinetime-app : flash the firmware into the NRF52.
- pinetime-app : build the standalone (without bootloader support) version of the firmware.
- pinetime-mcuboot-app : build the firmware with the support of the bootloader (based on MCUBoot).
- pinetime-graphics : small firmware that writes the boot graphics into the SPI flash.

If you just want to build the project and run it on the Pinetime, using *pinetime-app* is recommanded. See [this page](../bootloader/README.md) for more info about bootloader support.

Build:
```
make -j pinetime-app
```

List of files generated:
Binary files are generated into the folder `src`:
 - **pinetime-app.bin, .hex and .out** : standalone firmware in bin, hex and out formats.
 - **pinetime-app.map** : map file
 - **pinetime-mcuboot-app.bin, .hex and .out** : firmware with bootloader support in bin, hex and out formats.
 - **pinetime-mcuboot-app.map** : map file
 - **pinetime-graphics.bin, .hex and .out** : firmware for the boot graphic in bin, hex and out formats.
 - **pinetime-graphics.map** : map file
 
### Program and run
#### Using CMake targets
These target have been configured during the project generation by CMake according to the parameters you provided to the command line.

Mass erase:
```
make FLASH_ERASE
``` 

Flash the application:
```
make FLASH_pinetime-app
```

### Using JLink
Start JLinkExe:
```
$ /opt/SEGGER/JLink/JLinkExe -device nrf52 -if swd -speed 4000 -autoconnect 1

```

Then reset (r) and start (g) the CPU:
```
J-Link>r

Reset type NORMAL: Resets core & peripherals via SYSRESETREQ & VECTRESET bit.
Reset: Halt core after reset via DEMCR.VC_CORERESET.

```

#### JLink RTT
RTT is a feature from Segger's JLink devices that allows bidirectionnal communication between the debugger and the target. This feature can be used to get the logs from the embedded software on the development computer.

 - Program the MCU with the code (see above)
 - Start JLinkExe
 
```
$ JLinkExe -device nrf52 -if swd -speed 4000 -autoconnect 1
```

Start JLinkRTTClient
```
$ JLinkRTTClient
```

### Using GDB and Black Magic Probe (BMP)
Enter the following command into GDB:

```
target extended-remote /dev/ttyACM0
monitor swdp_scan
attach 1
file ./pinetime-app-full.hex 
load
run
```

```
$ /home/jf/nrf52/gcc-arm-none-eabi-8-2019-q3-update/bin/arm-none-eabi-gdb
