Prerequisites
On Ubuntu
Install the gcc-arm-embedded toolchain
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-gcc-arm-embedded/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gcc-arm-embedded
Add udev rules to use the stlink v2 programmer without being root
wget vedder.se/Temp/49-stlinkv2.rules
sudo mv 49-stlinkv2.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo udevadm trigger
On MacOS
Go to the GNU ARM embedded toolchain downloads Website and select the mac version, download it and extract it to your user directory.
Append the bin directory to your $PATH. For example:
export PATH="$PATH:/Users/your-name/gcc-arm-none-eabi-8-2019-q3-update/bin/"
Install stlink and openocd
brew install stlink
brew install openocd
Build
Build and flash the bootloader first
Clone and build the firmware
git clone https://github.com/vedderb/bldc.git vesc_firmware
cd vesc_firmware
make
Flash it using an STLink SWD debugger
make upload
