In powershell open as administrator
Run to install WSL and Ubuntu
wsl --install -d ubuntu
After installing Ubuntu and WSL follow the prompts in the launched terminal session until you get to a prompt similar to this:
mrmartin@MaxsPC:~$
Update your system to the newest release
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Create the directory to house all the zephyr scripts
mkdir zephyrproject
Add the Kitware Archive to the APT repositories
wget https://apt.kitware.com/kitware-archive.sh
sudo bash kitware-archive.sh
Install all the zephyr dependencies
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends git cmake ninja-build gperf \
ccache dfu-util device-tree-compiler wget \
python3-dev python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-tk python3-wheel xz-utils file \
make gcc gcc-multilib g++-multilib libsdl2-dev libmagic1
Ensure that all that cmake is at least at 3.20.0, Python is at least 3.8, and dtc is at least 1.4.6
cmake --version
python3 --version
dtc --version
Download and create virtual env
NOTE: This virtual environment will be be the environment that we develop all of our code in so remember to activate it any time you do work
sudo apt install python3-venv
cd ~/zephyrproject
python3 -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activae
Install wheel and west to get zephyr source code
pip install wheel
pip install west
Get zephyr source code, and export the CMake package
west init .
west update
west zephyr-export
Install additional zephyr python dependencies
pip install -r ~/zephyrproject/zephyr/scripts/requirments.txt
Download the latest Zephyr SDK bundle
cd ~
wget https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/sdk-ng/releases/download/v0.15.0/zephyr-sdk-0.15.0_linux-x86_64.tar.gz
wget -O - https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/sdk-ng/releases/download/v0.15.0/sha256.sum | shasum --check --ignore-missing
Extract Zephyr SDK bundle
tar xvf zephyr-sdk-0.15.0_linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Run the SDK setup script
cd zephyr-sdk-0.15.0
./setup.sh
To set your RPi Pico to accept binary files, hold down the bootsel button (white push-button). It should show up as a usb storage device. From there drag and drop /binaries/picoprobe.uf2 onto the pi. The on board LED should turn solid green, if so SUCCESS!
We will need install one more windows application to be able to see the picoprobe device in WSL, like before open a administrators powershell window and run
winget install usbidpd
Additionally we will need to install some dependencies in WSL
sudo apt install linux-tools-5.4.0-77-generic hwdata
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/usbip usbip /usr/lib/linux-tools/5.4.0-77-generic/usbip 20
Change directories to the head directory and run the pico setup script
cd ~/
./picosetup.sh
Add the line below to your udev rules file by running
echo ATTRS{idVendor}=="2e8a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0004", MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev", TAG+="uaccess" > /etc/udev/rules.d/60-openocd.rules
Now it is time to build our zephyr application
west build -b rpi_pico samples/basic/blinky -- -DOPENOCD=/usr/local/bin/openocd -DOPENOCD_DEFAULT_PATH=/usr/local/share/openocd/scripts -DRPI_PICO_DEBUG_ADAPTER=picoprobe
After our application binaries have been build switch to a powershell window to now attach our picoprobe usb device to WSL by finding the bus id of the picoprobe RPi
usbipd wsl list
usbipd wsl attach --busid <busid>
After this back in WSL flash the other pi and you should see the second pi's LED flash
sudo -s
. ./venv/bin/activate
west flash
When starting development on a new portion of the project make sure to update you local repo and create a seperate branch for your work
git pull
git checkout -b maxwell-martin-fixing-stuff
When you have made your changes commit your local changes and push to your remote branch
git commit
git push
After this make a merge request and then discuss with team lead to get code merged into the main repoistory
