Building on Arch Linux and It's Derivatives

Prerequisites

Before building RebbleOS you will need the Pebble SDK and if you wish to run the firmware in qemu, you'll need to make the resources

Building Rebble OS

    git clone https://github.com/pebble-dev/RebbleOS.git
    cd RebbleOS
    git submodule update --init --recursive
    cd FreeRTOS
    virtualenv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    cd ..
    make
    deactivate

The Pebble SDK is a prerequisite for portions of RebbleOS. The SDK is available here. As an example, on Arch, one may create an installation directory for the SDK using the following.

    mkdir ~/pebble-dev/
    cd ~/pebble-dev/
    wget https://developer.rebble.io/s3.amazonaws.com/assets.getpebble.com/pebble-tool/pebble-sdk-4.5-linux64.tar.bz2
    tar -jxf pebble-sdk-4.5-linux64.tar.bz2
    echo 'export PATH=~/pebble-dev/pebble-sdk-4.5-linux64/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile
    . ~/.bash_profile
    sudo pacman -Syyu
    sudo pacman -S python2 python2-pip  python2-gevent sdl dtc pixman git arm-none-eabi-gcc arm-none-eabi-newlib npm
    pip2 install --upgrade pip --user
    pip2 install virtualenv --user
    cd ~/pebble-dev/pebble-sdk-4.5-linux64
    virtualenv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip2 install -r requirements.txt
    deactivate
    mkdir ~/.pebble-sdk/
    touch ~/.pebble-sdk/NO_TRACKING
    pebble sdk install https://github.com/aveao/PebbleArchive/raw/master/SDKCores/sdk-core-4.3.tar.bz2
    pebble ping --emulator aplite

Qemu Resources

Before building RebbleOS for the first time you will need to run the Utilities/mk_resources.sh script.

    cd ~/pebble-dev/RebbleOS/
    mkdir Resources

At this point, you will need to visit the Discord and download the FPGA files and place them in the new Resources folder we just made. Then continue with the steps below.

    cd ~/pebble-dev/RebbleOS/Utilities/
    ./mk_resources.sh ~/.pebble-sdk/SDKs/4.3/sdk-core/pebble
    cp Resources/* ../Resources/

That's it you're now ready to build! Head back to the top
