Linux users can now cross-compile openocd to run on windows.
Here are the steps:
sudo apt-get install mingw32
make ftd2xx_install
make libusb_win_install
make openocd_git_win_install
(cd tools; zip -r openocd-win-patched.zip openocd_win/)
This should simplify rolling out new versions of the tool and
provides an example for how to cross-compile future tools as
well.
A separate makefile for EF (Entire Flash) targets allows
the removal of board-specific hard-coded addresses. These
values can now be included from the board-info.mk files
for each board.
These new build targets will construct a flash image that
includes both a bootloader as well as a firmware image all
in one. Examples:
make ef_coptercontrol
make ef_revolution
This also adds support for a new target for writing this EF
image to boards that support a DFU interface (only F4-based
boards). This can be done by running:
make dfuutil_install
# Boot board with SBL asserted to activate STM32 DFU ROM
# Attach USB cable
make ef_revolution_dfu
Bootloader images are also now padded out to occupy the full
BL flash region.
This tool can be used to read/write the interal device flash
in an STMF4 MCU via the built-in bootloader.
dfu-util can be downloaded and installed using this command:
make dfuutil_install
The homepage for this tool is at:
http://dfu-util.gnumonks.org/
Added new unbrick_<board> targets for each board.
These targets use the stm32flash utility to install
a bootloader on to the board. This is a tool of
last resort and should not be used for normal firmware
upgrades.
Usage:
make unbrick_<board> UNBRICK_TTY=/dev/ttyUSB0
Where:
<board> is one of coptercontrol, pipxtreme,
openpilot, ins, ahrs
UNBRICK_TTY is set to the serial device connected
to the board.
This tool can be used as a last resort for
installing a bootloader to a completely bricked
board that is unresponsive to even the rescue
functionality in the GCS uploader gadget.
Building all_<board> will build all available embedded
images for <board>. New targets:
- all_ahrs
- all_openpilot
- all_coptercontrol
- all_pipxtreme
- all_ins
and their associated _clean targets to remove the build output.
- New macros for fw, bl and bu rules in top-level make
- Per-board info factored into make/board/*/board-info.mk
- Per-board info now shared btw. fw, bl and blupd for each board
- BOARD_TYPE, BOARD_REVISION, BOOTLOADER_VERSION, HW_TYPE
- MCU, CHIP, BOARD, MODEL, MODEL_SUFFIX
- START_OF_BL_CODE, START_OF_FW_CODE
- blupd_* goals renamed to bu_*
- all_blupd goal renamed to all_bu
- firmware goals renamed to fw_*, board name goals are preserved
- bu_*_program now writes updater to correct address for all boards
- BL updater firmware builds now produce .opf format including
version info blob.
- BL updater firmware name now includes board name.
- INS makefile brought up to date w.r.t. linker scripts
Now 'make release' on the top level will build release package.
For Windows it will build OpenPilot GCS Installer and all firmware
binaries which are now included into the GCS distribution and will
be installed into the <path>/OpenPilot/share/firmware-<version>
directory.
For other systems it will build all firmware files and the GCS, but
latter is not packaged yet.
In preparation for release build the Windows installer source is moved
out of ground/gcs source tree into release directory. It is also disabled
in the qmake source file and removed from top level Makefile.
On Windows cd doesn't mean that current directory is as expected since
there is also current drive. So in some rare cases mkdir followed by cd
doesn't change the directory which can result in Makefile overwrites by
qmake, etc. So it is safer to replace ';' by '&&' but need to check if
it still works on Windows under cmd or from Qt-Creator.
Certain environment variables or command-line overrides
can result in difficult-to-diagnose build issues. These
variables are now filtered from the calling environment
prior to invoking the lower level makefiles.
These variables which may affect gcc are removed from the
environment and from the command-line overrides:
TMPDIR GCC_EXEC_PREFIX COMPILER_PATH LIBRARY_PATH
CFLAGS CPATH C_INCLUDE_PATH CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT
These variables which are now deprecated are removed from
the environment and from the command-line overrides:
USE_BOOTLOADER
This change is made up of a number of tightly coupled
changes:
- Deprecate the use of the USE_BOOTLOADER command-line
option. It is now hard-coded in each Makefile.
Overriding it on the command line is not allowed.
- Split apart the memory declaration and the section
declaration in all linker files (*_memory.ld and
*_sections.ld).
- Describe the split between bootloader and app sections
of flash in each board's _memory.ld file.
- Change program target to selectively erase flash so
that the installed bootloader is preserved across even
JTAG programming operations.
- All elf files are built with debug symbols and are not
stripped. This should help debugging with gdb. The
images programmed on the boards are all .bin files now
which do not include symbols.
New targets:
- make blupd_all_clean
- make blupd_all
- make blupd_openpilot
- make blupd_ahrs
- make blupd_coptercontrol
- make blupd_pipxtreme
These targets are also included in the 'all_flight' target.
For unknown reason under Windows MSYS the make.exe doesn't like the
-C option in some configurations. So this change is made to provide
a cross-platform compatibility and take advantage of unix-like build
environment on Windows system.
AHRS_comms still needs to be implemented. INS/GPS functionality still needs to be implemented. Double-check of the new drivers still needs to be done.

into makefile comments
- added "<target>:| $(DL_DIR) $(TOOLS_DIR)" _order-only_ prerequisites
to ensure directory creation, but prevent not-up-to-date when
directory is touched
git-svn-id: svn://svn.openpilot.org/OpenPilot/trunk@3120 ebee16cc-31ac-478f-84a7-5cbb03baadba
Use 'make gcs GCS_BUILD_CONF=release' to build release binaries.
Default is to build debug version (was hard-coded).
git-svn-id: svn://svn.openpilot.org/OpenPilot/trunk@2990 ebee16cc-31ac-478f-84a7-5cbb03baadba
- fixed: dep directory problem (sometimes it cannot be created by make, so do it with mkdir);
- fixed: added -f option to all_clean target (or rm stops on Windows for hidden .svn and r/o files);
- fixed: overridden USE_BOOTLOADER var for bootloaders (should always be set to NO regardless of command line);
- verified: short compilation output works as expected.
Some TODOs still exist, see OP-305 comments for details.

These files were a mix of line endings. Now
they're all consistent as LF terminators.

- Remove built-in rules from sub-makes since it just adds
cruft to the make database when trying to debug.
- Tell make not to print the directories as it decends
into them. Part of a series of output cleanups.

The new targets are:
bl_openpilot
bl_ahrs

This will allow us to create a simpler project file
for those that use the qt-creator gui.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.openpilot.org/OpenPilot/trunk@2529 ebee16cc-31ac-478f-84a7-5cbb03baadba
This will allow us to build a parent project for
qt-creator that sits above both openpilotgcs and
uavobjgenerator so that we can build both projects
at the same time.

Move generated Java UAVObject output into the common synthetic
tree for all UAVObject output.

The UAVObject definition (.xml) files are used by both the
GCS build as well as the flight software builds.

The UAVObject generator is intended to be a standalone tool.
As such, it doesn't belong under the openpilotgcs directory.

The OP<->AHRS comms code depends on the content
of a few of the uavobjects. The AHRS build should
depend on the autogenerated uavobjects for flight.

Also note that the command line option to the uavobjectgenerator
binary for matlab has changed from "mathlab" to "matlab".

This is a variation on the patch that Richard attached to OP-201 to
allow wget to adjust the output filename based on the 302 redirect
messages from sourceforge.net's download servers.
Using --trust-server-name prevents wget from saving the openocd
tar file as "download" instead of the proper "openocd-0.4.0.tar.bz2"
git-svn-id: svn://svn.openpilot.org/OpenPilot/trunk@2486 ebee16cc-31ac-478f-84a7-5cbb03baadba
- all languages to generate where processed everytime. In most runs only flight and/or gcs was needed but also matlab and python code was generated - now uavobjectgenerator has command line arguments to specify which languages to build and there are also new targets in the makefile.
- generation code for all languages was in the parser section - was bit of a mess in general - now all splitted
- its now more easy for new devs to add a new language or find relevant code for the language he is interested in
initial java generation:
- uavobjectgenerator can now generate java code for uavobjects

Add the AHRS firmware to the "all" target since it is once again
compiling successfully.
Fix reinstall of QT SDK, Create placeholder for uavobjects.
Reinstall of the QT SDK prompted to remove the read-only license
file. Use rm -rf to avoid the prompt.
The uavobjects target now creates a directory in the build tree.
This will eventually hold the generated .c/.h/.cpp/.py files that
are generated from the UAVObjects xml files.
