Development Environment Setup on Linux
######################################
This section describes how to set up a Linux development system.
After completing these steps, you will be able to compile and run your Zephyr
applications on the following Linux distributions:
* Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit
* Fedora 25 64-bit
Where needed, alternative instructions are listed for Ubuntu and Fedora.
Installing the Host's Operating System
**************************************
Building the project's software components including the kernel has been
tested on Ubuntu and Fedora systems. Instructions for installing these OSes
are beyond the scope of this document.
Update Your Operating System
****************************
Before proceeding with the build, ensure your OS is up to date. On Ubuntu,
you'll first need to update the local database list of available packages
before upgrading:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
On Fedora:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo dnf upgrade
Note that having a newer version available for an installed package
(and reported by ``dnf check-update``) does not imply a subsequent
``dnf upgrade`` will install it, because it must also ensure dependencies
and other restrictions are satisfied.
Installing Requirements and Dependencies
****************************************
Install the following with either apt-get or dnf.
Install the required packages in a Ubuntu host system with:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends git cmake ninja-build gperf \
ccache doxygen dfu-util device-tree-compiler \
python3-ply python3-pip python3-setuptools xz-utils file make
Install the required packages in a Fedora host system with:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo dnf group install "Development Tools"
$ sudo dnf install git cmake ninja-build gperf ccache\
doxygen dfu-util dtc python3-pip \
python3-ply python3-yaml dfu-util dtc python3-pykwalify
Install additional packages required for development with Zephyr::
$ cd ~/zephyr # or to your directory where zephyr is cloned
$ pip3 install --user -r scripts/requirements.txt
CMake version 3.8.2 or higher is required. Check what version you have using
``cmake --version``, and if its an older version, check the backports or
install a more recent version manually. For example, to install version
3.8.2 from the CMake website directly in ~/cmake::
$ mkdir $HOME/cmake && cd $HOME/cmake
$ wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.8/cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64.sh
$ yes | sh cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64.sh | cat
$ echo "export PATH=$PWD/cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64/bin:\$PATH" >> $HOME/.zephyrrc
$ source <zephyr git clone location>/zephyr-env.sh
$ cmake --version
.. _zephyr_sdk:
Installing the Zephyr Software Development Kit
==============================================
Zephyr's :abbr:`SDK (Software Development Kit)` contains all necessary tools
and cross-compilers needed to build the kernel on all supported
architectures. Additionally, it includes host tools such as a custom QEMU and
a host compiler for building host tools if necessary. The SDK supports the
following architectures:
* :abbr:`X86 (Intel Architecture 32 bits)`
* :abbr:`X86 IAMCU ABI (Intel Architecture 32 bits IAMCU ABI)`
* :abbr:`ARM (Advanced RISC Machines)`
* :abbr:`ARC (Argonaut RISC Core)`
* :abbr:`NIOS II`
* :abbr:`Xtensa`
* :abbr:`RISC-V`
Follow these steps to install the SDK on your Linux host system.
#. Download the latest SDK self-extractable binary.
Visit the `Zephyr SDK archive`_ to find all available SDK versions,
including the latest version.
Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the
desired version (*0.9.2* can be replaced with the version number you
wish to download).
.. code-block:: console
$ wget https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/meta-zephyr-sdk/releases/download/0.9.2/zephyr-sdk-0.9.2-setup.run
#. Run the installation binary, follow this example:
.. important::
Make sure you have installed all required packages for your host
distribution as described in the previous section
`Installing Requirements and Dependencies`_ otherwise the SDK installation will fail.
.. code-block:: console
$ sh zephyr-sdk-<version>-setup.run
There is no need to use ``sudo`` if the SDK is installed in the current
user's home directory.
#. Follow the installation instructions on the screen. The
toolchain's default installation location is :file:`/opt/zephyr-sdk/`.
To install in the default installation location, you will need to use sudo. It is recommended
to install the SDK in your home directory and not in a system directory.
#. To use the Zephyr SDK, export the following environment variables and
use the target location where SDK was installed, type:
.. code-block:: console
$ export ZEPHYR_GCC_VARIANT=zephyr
$ export ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=<sdk installation directory>
To use the same toolchain in new sessions in the future you can set the
variables in the file :file:`${HOME}/.zephyrrc`, for example:
.. code-block:: console
$ cat <<EOF > ~/.zephyrrc
export ZEPHYR_GCC_VARIANT=zephyr
export ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/zephyr-sdk
EOF
