Build environment on Mac OS X

0. Work in Progress / First Trial

This page will hopefully soon explain how to setup the build environment on a Mac. As of now, the setup has not yet been completely tried out / documented.

1. Compiler

The CodeSourcery G++ package provides a GNU cross-compiler toolchain for ARM, but needs to be built first from source code.

This explains how to build the tool chain on a Mac: jsnyder / arm-eabi-toolchain

Note: This builds release: …

Other options: Ubuntu Linux in a VirtualBox

4. Deploy

Bring the r0ket into ISP-Mode: e.g. by using Method 1 (up to 30 seconds, but works always)

Power off r0ket
Press and hold button “Left”
Connect r0ket via USB

Mac OS X will show a “CRP DISABLD” USB device.

Using the Ubunto Terminal in a VirtualBox:

Share the directory “CRP DISABLD” on the Mac OS X host with VirtualBox, e.g. using the name r0flash - it will be available on the Ubuntu guest at /media/sf_r0flash.

Copy the file firmware.bin to that directory:

cp firmware.bin /media/sf_r0flash/

Using the Mac OS X Terminal:

cp firmware.bin /Volumes/CRP\ DISABLD/

Note: Copying the firmware.bin over to the device in the Mac OS X Finder does not work.
