fprime-zephyr-led-blinker F' project

This project was auto-generated by the F' utility tool.

F´ (F Prime) is a component-driven framework that enables rapid development and deployment of spaceflight and other embedded software applications. Please Visit the F´ Website: https://nasa.github.io/fprime/.

What to do

Follow getting started guide.

KConfig options here

Make sure you are in virtual environment

. ~/zephyrproject/.venv/bin/activate

Make sure you have fprime dependencies installed

pip install -r "fprime/requirements.txt"

By default, the toolchain is set to zephyr in the settings.ini file. Don't change this.

Limitations

Unfortunately, you can only build one deployment at a time. If you have multiple deployments in a project, comment out other deployments under project.cmake so that you build one at a time.

Building Deployment

fprime-util generate -DBOARD=teensy41
fprime-util build -j4

Change teensy41 to your board of choice. List of supported boards here

If you plan to build for multiple boards, you will have to purge your build cache and regenerate using the commands above with the proper board name.

fprime-util purge zephyr -f

The only tested board was the Teensy 4.1. Building for other boards may require you to edit the proj.conf file and add a .overlay file inside of the boards/ directory.

Uploading to board

Currently, there is a Stub.cpp file in the LedBlinker deployment. This is because the Zephyr build system generates its own binary executable independent from the Fprime build system. The Zephyr build system works, and links all of the necessary Zephyr and Fprime libraries. However, the Fprime build system still attempts to build its own separate deployment and does not link the proper Zephyr libraries, so it fails. Having a Stub.cpp forcess the Fprime deployment to build a binary that does nothing, so it doesn't attempt to look for Zephyr dependencies.

TLDR: Do not use any binary files generated in the build-artifacts directory. They do nothing. Instead, the executable you want will be located in build-fprime-automatic-zephyr/zephyr/.

There should be a few binaries that you can use to upload, which varies depending on the board you are using:

• zephyr.bin
• zephyr.elf
• zephyr.exe
• zephyr.hex
• zephyr.uf2
• Probably more

Run GDS

We have to give wrx access to ACM device. Why? idk.

sudo chmod 0777 /dev/ttyACM0
fprime-gds -n --dictionary ./build-artifacts/zephyr/LedBlinker/dict/LedBlinkerTopologyAppDictionary.xml --comm-adapter uart --uart-device /dev/ttyACM0 --uart-baud 115200
