Building Contiki for the EV-ADuCRF101MKxZ Board
===============================================

On Debian/Ubuntu Linux:
-----------------------

For older versions of Ubuntu (prior to 14.04), add the external
package repository that provides recent versions of GCC for ARM:

    sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:terry.guo/gcc-arm-embedded
    sudo apt-get update

For all systems, install the required development packages:

    sudo apt-get install git make gcc-arm-none-eabi python-serial

Obtain the Contiki source code:

	git clone https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki.git

Build Contiki's `example-abc`:

	make -C contiki/examples/rime \
        TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
        example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex

The default radio frequency can optionally be specified on the
command-line as follows.  A clean rebuild may be needed when changing
it:

	make -C contiki/examples/rime \
        TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
        RF_CHANNEL=915000000 \
        clean \
        example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex

The code can be flashed to the eval board and tested using
[adi-cm3sd](https://github.com/jimparis/adi-cm3sd.git).  Obtain
`adi-cm3sd`:

    git clone https://github.com/jimparis/adi-cm3sd.git

Connect the evaluation board using its J-Link board, or any other
serial adapter.  Flash `example-adc` and open a terminal by running:

    adi-cm3sd/cm3sd.py -a contiki/examples/rime/example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex \
        /dev/serial/by-id/usb-SEGGER_J-Link_000541011111-if00

replacing `/dev/serial/by-id/usb-SEGGER_J-Link_000541011111-if00` with
the path to the correct serial device.  Flash the same code on a
second evaluation board to see them communicate.

### IPv6 Example ###

#### Border Router ####

First, build and run the IPv6 `border-router` example:

	make -C contiki/examples/ipv6/rpl-border-router \
        TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
        SERIAL_ID='"00001234"' \
        border-router.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex

    adi-cm3sd/cm3sd.py -a contiki/examples/ipv6/rpl-border-router/border-router.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex \
        /dev/serial/by-id/usb-SEGGER_J-Link_000541011111-if00

After flashing, close the terminal with `CTRL-C`, then build and run
the SLIP tunnel on the host machine:

	make -C contiki/tools tunslip6

    sudo contiki/tools/tunslip6 \
        -s /dev/serial/by-id/usb-SEGGER_J-Link_000541011111-if00 \
        -B 115200 -v3 aaaa::1/64

Open the border router's home page at: http://[aaaa::3230:3030:3132:3334]/

#### Web Server ####

Then, build and flash the IPv6 `webserver6` example on another eval
board.  The different `SERIAL_ID` ensures that the webserver uses a
link-local IP address that is different from that of the border
router:

	make -C contiki/examples/webserver-ipv6 \
        TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
        SERIAL_ID='"00005678"' \
        webserver6.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex

    adi-cm3sd/cm3sd.py -a contiki/examples/webserver-ipv6/webserver6.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex \
        /dev/serial/by-id/usb-SEGGER_J-Link_000541022222-if00

Open the web server's home page at: http://[aaaa::3230:3030:3536:3738]/

On Windows:

### Install prerequisites ###

Install [git](http://git-scm.com/download/win/) with default options.

Install MinGW as follows:

* Download and run [mingw-get-setup.exe](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/latest/download).
* Select `Install`, `Continue`, and `Continue` again.
* Click `Basic Setup` on the left panel.
* Click the checkbox next to `mingw32-base`, then click `Mark for Installation`.
* Select 'Installation -> Apply Changes' from the menu bar.
* Click 'Apply', then close and quit the MinGW installer.

### Install toolchain ###

Contiki can be built with either GCC or IAR:

* **GCC**: Install
  [GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors](https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+download).
  Use the "Windows installer" version.  Ensure that "Add path to
  environment variable" is selected in the installer.

* **IAR**: Install
  [IAR Embedded Workbench](http://www.iar.com/ewarm/).

### Building `example-abc` ###

Open a shell by right-clicking the desktop or any folder and
selecting `Git Bash`.

Obtain the Contiki source code:

	git clone https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki.git

Build Contiki's `example-abc`:

* **GCC**

        /c/mingw/bin/mingw32-make -C contiki/examples/rime \
                                  TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
                                  example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex

* **IAR**

        /c/mingw/bin/mingw32-make -C contiki/examples/rime \
                                  IAR=1 \
                                  TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
                                  example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex

Other build options like `RF_CHANNEL` and `SERIAL_ID` can be specified
as in the Linux instructions above.

### Flashing and running ###

The resulting file
`contiki/examples/rime/example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex` can be
flashed to the evaluation board using ADI's
[CM3WSD](http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/eval_boards/CM3WSD.zip)
utility.

Use a terminal emulator (e.g. HyperTerminal) at 115200 baud to see the
program output.
