Setup

First, clone submodules with:

git submodule update --init
cd software/firmware/lib/pico-sdk
git submodule update --init

You don't have to, but using a venv for the following steps is a good idea. To create one, run:

cd software
python -m venv .csvenv

Then to activate it, run the following. You'll need to do this each time you open a new shell, but you can put it in your shell's dotfile to automate this.

Bash:                   source .csvenv/bin/activate
Csh:                    source .csvenv/bin/activate.csh
Fish:                   source .csvenv/bin/activate.fish
Windows CMD:            .csvenv\Scripts\activate.bat
Windows PowerShell:     .csvenv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

Windows

Open PowerShell as an administrator and install chocolatey using these instructions.

Still using an administrator shell, install dependencies with:

choco install make cmake mingw gcc-arm-embedded protoc python --installargs '"ADD_CMAKE_TO_PATH=User"'

In a non-administrator PowerShell, install the Python package with:

cd software
pip install -e . --user

If you get warnings about the scripts directory not being on your PATH, add it by typing env in the Windows search bar and click on "Edit the system environment variables". Next, on the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables. Under User Variables, find Path, click on it, select Edit, then click New. Type in the directory that Pip warned about, and exit.

Close and reopen your PowerShell window.

Linux

Install dependencies with the following command:

sudo apt install cmake protobuf-compiler pnpm

Install the GNU ARM embedded toolchain manually.

Install the Python package with:

cd software
pip install -e .

If you get warnings about the scripts directory not being on your PATH, add it adding the following line to your shell's rc dotfile.

export PATH=$PATH:<scripts dir here>

MacOS

Install dependencies with the following command:

brew install make cmake protobuf gcc-arm-embedded pnpm

Install the Python package with:

cd software
pip install -e .

If you get warnings about the scripts directory not being on your PATH, add it adding the following line to your shell's rc dotfile.

export PATH=$PATH:<scripts dir here>
