Next step after bootloader?

[phantomBlurrr]

Hi, I was able to build the bootloader and flash it by first running the task "build bootloader odiin" then connecting the Pitaya Link to the Pitaya Go and running the task "flash bootloader odiin".

Would you mind describing how to continue from here? My understanding is to run the task "build (release UF2) odiin"? But I am unsure. When I run that task or the task "build and flash (release)" I am getting this error:

Compiling file: main.cpp
arm-none-eabi-c++: error: unrecognized command line option '-c8'; did you mean '-c'?
make: *** [vendor/nRF5_SDK/components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.common:276: _build/nrf52840_xxaa/main.cpp.o] Error 1

I edited line 33 in the make file from

GIT_COMMIT_HASH != git rev-parse HEAD -c8

to

GIT_COMMIT_HASH != git rev-parse --short HEAD

And running the task "build and flash (release) odiin" was able to run and complete all the way through. (Pitaya Link was connected to Pitaya Go during this). Nothing happens when I power on just the Odiin device though. Looking into it...

Solution is to run the task "build and flash (release)" with the Pitaya Link and Pitaya Go connected up.

I'm glad you figured this out before I could even take a look at it!!

I took a look at the git rev-parse documentation this morning and it seems that the -c flag isn't even a thing, so I'm not sure when that was removed. I'll update the Makefile so as hopefully no one else runs into this in the future.

Great catch!

Edit: Oh it was actually using head! Switching to use the built in --short in rev-parse is a much better solution, as it removes one more dependency on a gnu binary being present on a Windows machine. Thanks a heap for tracking this down and finding a great solution.
