How to build and execute applications in RIOT

1. Navigate to an application folder. The applications are organized according to the sections of the paper:

   • Section 4: The Impact of a Software Implementation,
   • Section 5: Basic Crypto-Hardware Acceleration,
   • Section 6: ECC Hardware Acceleration,
   • Section 7: The Impact of Driver Implementations.

   Please note that some folders contain subfolders. To proceed, navigate to the specific experiment of interest.

2. To compile an application, you will need to use make and specify the target board:

   BOARD=<target board> make

3. To flash an application to a board:

   BOARD=<target board> make flash

4. To access the terminal:

   BOARD=<target board> make term

5. For specific experiments you need to set compiler flags or apply configurations with the menuconfig tool. The documentation in the respective application folder lists available modes.

   • Set compiler flags before the make command (e.g. USE_XTIMER=1 BOARD=<target board> make).
   • Enter menuconfig via BOARD=<target board> menuconfig. After configuring, hit S and enter. Then Q to quit.
