Building from source code

This section contains detailed instructions on how to rebuild the CanFlasherBLT image from its source code.

Dependencies

It is assumed that Git, CMake and the ARM GCC Embedded toolchain are installed on the system and available on the PATH. Additionally, the GNU tools make and rm should be installed and available on the path. Windows users can install the GNU MCU Eclipse Windows Build Tools for this.

Installation instructions for a Debian/Ubuntu based system:

sudo apt install git cmake build-essential binutils-arm-none-eabi \
                 gcc-arm-none-eabi libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-newlib \
                 libnewlib-arm-none-eabi

Getting the source code

To get the code, clone the GIT repository to a subdirectory, for example inside your own home directory. Make sure to update the submodules after cloning the GIT repository, because CanFlasherBLT makes use of a few submodules:

git clone https://github.com/feaser/canflasherblt.git ~/CanFlasherBLT
cd ~/CanFlasherBLT
git submodule update --init

Building the image

To build the CanFlasherBLT image from its source code, run these commands:

cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

Upon completion, you can find the newly created image file at:

• ~/CanFlasherBLT/build/source/board/olimexino_stm32f3/CanFlasherBLT_Olimexino_STM32F3.srec

To program it onto the Olimexino STM32F3, refer to the getting started section.
