Photon OSX local build setup notes on 20150531

Getting Started

this seems to work quite nicely as a local Makefile using the new options from the develop branch.

it allows me to store my apps and gcc in whatever directory i like (not inside the firmware repo) and just call “make” from inside my app directory, it will then compile a dfu file in cwd/build-core/ or cwd/build-photon/ and i can upload using “make all program-dfu”

i also updated the “clean” target to remove the cwd/build-core/ directory, not just the stuff inside firmware/build/target/

i turn on verbose by default.

nothing is hardcoded, so i can use the same Makefile in all of my apps. and just modify the PLATFORM.

Makefile:

GCC_ARM_PATH = $(HOME)/gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin/
APPDIR       = $(realpath $(dir $(realpath $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)))))
APP          = $(notdir $(CURDIR))
PLATFORM     = core
TARGET_DIR   = $(CURDIR)/build-$(PLATFORM)

all:

clean: local_clean

local_clean:
    rm -rf $(TARGET_DIR)

%:
    $(MAKE) -C $(HOME)/firmware/main APP=$(APP) PLATFORM=$(PLATFORM) APPDIR=$(APPDIR) GCC_ARM_PATH=$(GCC_ARM_PATH) TARGET_DIR=$(TARGET_DIR) v=1 $@

everything after the $(MAKE) should be all on one line, but the forum has wrapped it.

you end up with a directory structure like:

blink/
├── blink.cpp
├── build-core
│   ├── blink.bin
│   ├── blink.bin.crc_block
│   ├── blink.bin.no_crc
│   ├── blink.elf
│   ├── blink.hex
│   ├── blink.lst
│   ├── blink.map
│   └── obj
└── Makefile
