8 | Build your own archos.mod. | ||
9 | |||
10 | 1. Check out 'firmware', 'apps' and 'tools' from CVS (or possibly from a | ||
11 | downloaded archive). You may possibly want 'uisimulator' too (for trying | ||
12 | out things on host before making target tests). If you haven't already | ||
13 | done so, we advise you pull down the 'docs' directory as well. | ||
14 | |||
15 | 2. Build the tools by running 'make' in the tools/ directory. | ||
16 | |||
17 | 3. Create your own build directory, preferably in the same directory as the | ||
18 | firmware/ and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be | ||
19 | put. | ||
20 | |||
21 | 4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what | ||
22 | target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not. It'll | ||
23 | prompt you. The debug version is for making a gdb version out of it. It is | ||
24 | only useful if you run gdb towards your target Archos. | ||
25 | |||
26 | 5. Make sure you have sh-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. | ||
27 | |||
28 | 6. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you. Run 'make' and | ||
29 | soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps directories have | ||
30 | been compiled and linked. | ||
31 | |||
32 | 7. Copy the archos.mod file to your archos, reboot it and *smile*. | ||
33 | |||
34 | Whenever the tools/configure script gets updated, you can make your makefile | ||
35 | updated too by running 'tools/configure update' | ||
36 | |||
37 | If you want to build for more than one target, just create a new build | ||
38 | directory and create a setup for another target combination in there. | ||
