Creator-Kit requires multiple repositories for building, which are scattered across two GitHub organizations namely FlowM2M and CreatorKit.
Create a directory to keep project repositories, and run following commands :-
$ mkdir creatorkit
$ cd creatorkit
$ repo init -u https://github.com/CreatorKit/manifest.git
$ repo sync
To build a tagged release, add tag name with repo init command as follows :-
$ repo init -u https://github.com/CreatorKit/manifest.git -b 0.9.0
Note :- repo is a tool which should be present on your system. If not then follow this :-
$ mkdir -p ~/bin
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Update ~/.bashrc to add repo path in linux path permanently :-
export PATH=$PATH:~/bin/
Now required repositories are cloned inside the project directory creatorkit.
Enter into build repository and start building :-
$ cd build
There are multiple options for building things :-
Linux based applications using OpenWrt can be built by :-
$ make openwrt
OpenWrt binaries can be found at :-
creatorkit/build/output/openwrt/
Contiki based applications can be built by :-
$ make contiki
Contiki based application binaries can be found at :-
creatorkit/build/output/contiki/
Linux and Contiki based applications can be built by :-
$ make
Additional arguments could also be passed while building OpenWrt for logging more information, or building it in parallel threads. e.g.
-
For logging all information
$ make openwrt V=s -
For logging just errors/warnings
$ make openwrt V=w -
For building OpenWrt in parallel threads
$ make openwrt J=20
For cleaning linux based applications :-
$ make clean_openwrt
Note :- This will also clean the feeds.
For cleaning Contiki based applications :-
$ make clean_contiki
Linux and Contiki based applications can be cleaned by :-
$ make clean
