Zephyr Project examples

Building

• Run make zephyr, this will clone the Zephyr Project repo or update it if you've already done it before
• Now you can build the project, follow one of this options:

Trying on a simulated board

The default board is an x86 machine that can be simulated with QEMU, and runs inside a Docker container, you only need to have Docker installed. Its Ethernet is also simulated and uses the TUN/TAP interface. You'll need a TUN/TAP interface (default name is tap0) on your host machine; follow the instructions here to configure your network to provide a suitable networking environment.

• Run make build. The interface configuration on the simulated machine side is in the file overlay-e1000.conf, and defaults to tap0. You can change this overlay file adding an OVERLAY argument (e.g.: make build OVERLAY="-DOVERLAY_CONFIG=something").
• Once the build succeeds, run make run to run the target. The default Docker configuration is to share /dev/net/tun; if this does not work for you, pass the necessary Docker parameters inside SHARETUN (e.g.: make run SHARETUN=something).

Using a real board

• Run make build BOARD=yourboardname (e.g.: make build BOARD=nucleo_f746zg)
• Once the build succeeds, run make flash. The Makefile shares the USB bus with the Docker container, this works well with ST-Link and J-Link devices. If this does not work for you, pass the necessary Docker parameters inside SHAREUSB (e.g.: make flash SHAREUSB=something)
• The generated ELF file is at build/zephyr

Cleaning up

• You can run make clean to clean up the build files but keep the configuration files, which speeds the next build
• If you do major changes (like compiling for a different board...), run make pristine to clean up everything under the build directory.
