Cuckoo Firmware

This repo contains code for Cuckoo - an embedded lap timer.

Hardware requirements

Follow the instructions in our DIY instruction to create hardware compatible with the firmware.

Build requirements

Install following dependencies:

Building firmware

After that point you can build firmware with following script (change paths and binaries if needed):

#!/bin/bash

set -eo pipefail

rm -rf build

cmake  \
    -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=cmake/arm-none-eabi.cmake \
    -DTOOLCHAIN_PREFIX=/Users/przemyslawlenart/toolchains/gcc-arm-none-eabi/ \
    -DNRF5_SDK_PATH=/Users/przemyslawlenart/toolchains/nRF5_SDK_15.3.0/ \
    -DNRFJPROG=/usr/local/bin/nrfjprog \
    -DNRF_TARGET=pca10059 \
    -S . -B build/

cmake --build build

Building unit tests

Without specifying toolchain tests will be built:

#!/bin/bash

set -eo pipefail

rm -rf build

cmake  \
    -S . -B build/

cmake --build build

VSCode integration:

Download following plugins:

CMake Tools (vector-of-bool.cmake-tools)
CMake (twxs.cmake)
C/C++ (ms-vscode.cpptools)
Cortex Debug (marus25.cortex-debug)
