How to create a mesh bootloader project for Segger Or how to build ..\mesh\bootloader, generate new mesh bootloader hex?

[Tomlee]

Hi ,

    I want to build ..\mesh\bootloader, I know must use CMAKE,  but I do not know how to use CMAKE?

    Could you tell me or show me the step,please?  

    Thanks!

Hi,

Have a look at this document, it shows how you can build with CMake.

Hope this helps.

[Mttrinh]

Can you give me more details on what is failing and what you have done?

[Tomlee]

Hi Mttrinh,

uder ....\mesh\bootloader path, use command as follow:

cmake -G Ninja -DPLATFORM=nrf52840_xxAA -DGENERATE_SES_PROJECTS=ON -DBUILD_BOOTLOADER=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBOOTLOADER_DEBUG_ENABLE=ON -DTOOLCHAIN=gccarmemb ..

error as above.

I don't know how to do next.

Did you install all of these following tools? 

[Tomlee]

Hi Mttrinh,

 Installed:

1) CMAKE

2) Ninja

3) Python27 and Python35

4) Segger

5) armcc

6) nRF5x Command Line Tools

I have already compiled and used command(ex:nrfutil) to examples before doing mesh bootolader.

everything else?

Thanks!

Hi,

Go into the root folder and press alt+D then type "cmd". Type this into the command line:

\nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v4.2.0_src>mkdir build
\nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v4.2.0_src>cd build
\nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v4.2.0_src\build>cmake -G Ninja -DPLATFORM=nrf52840_xxAA -DGENERATE_SES_PROJECTS=ON -DBUILD_BOOTLOADER=ON -DTOOLCHAIN=gccarmemb ..
C:\MESH\nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v4.2.0_src\build>ninja

And after that, you can find the bootloader in nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v4.2.0_src\build\mesh\bootloader

Hi Mttrinh,

   Thank you very much.

    I still met some bug,  

    1) could not find Could NOT find Doxygen (missing: DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE)

    2) Could not find `patch` executable.  Automatic patching of the nRF5 SDK

    3)  Could not find the nRF5 SDK. The build will fail.

         I don't know where the nRF SDK should add 

    Could you help me please?

Hi,

The nRF5 SDK folder should be adjacent to the Mesh SDK folder. Like this:
