Development Environment Setup on Windows
|
|
########################################
|
|
|
|
This section describes how to configure your development environment and
|
|
to build Zephyr applications in a Microsoft Windows environment.
|
|
|
|
This guide was tested by compiling and running the Zephyr's sample
|
|
applications on the following Windows version:
|
|
|
|
* Windows 8.1
|
|
|
|
Update Your Operating System
|
|
****************************
|
|
|
|
Before proceeding with the build, ensure that you are running your
|
|
Windows system with the latest updates installed.

Installing Requirements and Dependencies
|
|
****************************************
|
|
|
|
To install the software components required to build Zephyr applications on
|
|
Windows, you will need to build or install a toolchain.
|
|
|
|
Install :program:`GIT`. Go to `GIT Download`_ to obtain the latest copy of
|
|
the software.
|
|
|
|
Install :program:`Python 2.7`. Go to `Python Download`_ to obtain the 2.7
|
|
version of the software.
|
|
|
|
Install :program:`MinGW`. MinGW is the minimalist GNU development environment
|
|
for native Windows applications. The Zephyr build system will execute on top of
|
|
this tool set.
|
|
|
|
To install :program:`MinGW`, visit the site `MinGW Home`_ and install the
|
|
following packages with their installler `mingw-get-setup.exe`:
|
|
|
|
* mingw-developer-toolkit
|
|
* mingw32-base
|
|
* msys-base
|
|
* msys-binutils
|
|
* msys-console
|
|
* msys-w32api
|
|
|
|
Launch the `MSYS console`. The installer does not create shortcuts for you,
|
|
but the script to launch it is in :file:`C:\\MinGW\\msys\\1.0\\msys.bat.`.
|
|
We need the following line in :file:`/etc/fstab`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
#Win32_Path Mount_Point
|
|
c:/mingw /mingw
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to do this is just copy the file :file:`fstab.sample` as
|
|
:file:`fstab` and confirm that the these lines are in the new
|
|
:file:`fstab` file.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ cp /etc/fstab.sample /etc/fstab
|
|
$ cat /etc/fstab
|
|
|
|
Configure Python's folder location in the environmental variable :envvar:`PATH`
|
|
and the installation path for MinGW.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The format of the path for `PYTHON_PATH` must to be in the
|
|
linux format. Default installation is in :file:`C:\\python27`,
|
|
which would be written as :file:`/c/python27/`.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
export PYTHON_PATH=/c/python27
|
|
export PATH=$PATH:${PYTHON_PATH}
|
|
export MINGW_DIR=/c/MinGW
|
|
|
|
Pthread library
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
The Zephyr OS build process has a dependency on the Pthread library.
|
|
The required packages for Msys installation would normally provide it.
|
|
However, if a minimal installation fails to provide the Pthread library,
|
|
it can be installed with the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
mingw-get install libpthread
|
|
|
|
GNU Regex C library
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
The Zephyr build process has a dependency with the GNU regex library.
|
|
Msys provides its own GNU library implementation that can be downloaded from the
|
|
MinGW and Msys official repository: `MinGW Repository`_.
|
|
Install the library from the Msys console interface with the following commands:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
mingw-get update
|
|
mingw-get install msys-libregex-dev --all-related
|
|
|
|
Update the following environment variables on your system to allow the C compiler
|
|
and linker to find the library and headers:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/c/mingw/msys/1.0/lib
|
|
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=$C_INCLUDE_PATH:/c/mingw/msys/1.0/include
|
|
|
|
Toolchain Installation
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
The build system should be able to work with any toolchain installed in your system.
|
|
|
|
For instance, the Zephyr build system was tested with the toolchain provided with
|
|
the ISSM 2016 (Intel System Studio for Microcontrollers) installation.
|
|
|
|
To install ISSM use the link provided to download from the Intel Developer Zone:
|
|
`ISSM 2016 Download`_ and install it into your system.
|
|
|
|
Finally, configure your environment variables for the ISSM 2016 toolchain.
|
|
For example, using the default installation path for ISSM:
|
|
:file:`C:/IntelSWTools/ISSM_2016`
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
export ZEPHYR_GCC_VARIANT=issm
|
|
export ISSM_INSTALLATION_PATH=C:/IntelSWTools/ISSM_2016
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The format of the location for the ISSM installation directory
|
|
(e.g. :envvar:`ISSM_INSTALLATION_PATH`) must be in the windows format.
