# Building in Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
To build BetaFlight, first the ARM toolchain has to be installed:
|
|
|
|
## Setup GNU ARM Toolchain
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacman -S arm-none-eabi-gcc arm-none-eabi-newlib arm-none-eabi-binutils
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For running tests, the `libblocksruntime` package from the AUR also has to be installed:
|
|
``` bash
|
|
trizen -S libblocksruntime
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
At the time of writing, the repository version of GCC is 9.2.0, unlike 9.2.1 which BetaFlight expects.
|
|
If you get the following error, you can override the GCC version in `make/locak.mk` before proceeding:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make
|
|
make/tools.mk:301: *** **ERROR** your arm-none-eabi-gcc is '9.2.0', but '9.2.1' is expected. Override with 'GCC_REQUIRED_VERSION' in make/local.mk or run 'make arm_sdk_install' to install the right version automatically in the tools folder of this repo. Stop.
|
|
$ echo "GCC_REQUIRED_VERSION = 9.2.0" >> make/local.mk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
After the ARM toolchain is installed, you should be able to build from source.
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd src
|
|
git clone git@github.com:betaflight/betaflight.git
|
|
cd betaflight
|
|
make MATEKF411
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll see a set of files being compiled, and finally linked, yielding both an ELF and then a HEX:
|
|
```
|
|
...
|
|
$ ls -l obj/
|
|
total 1516
|
|
-rwxr-xr-x 1 s-ol s-ol 428584 Jan 11 12:04 betaflight_4.2.0_MATEKF411.bin*
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 s-ol s-ol 1136991 Jan 11 12:04 betaflight_4.2.0_MATEKF411.hex
|
|
drwxr-xr-x 3 s-ol s-ol 4096 Jan 11 12:04 main/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can use the Betaflight-Configurator to flash the `obj/betaflight_4.2.0_MATEKF411.hex` file.
|
|
|
|
## Updating and rebuilding
|
|
|
|
Navigate to the local betaflight repository and use the following steps to pull the latest changes and rebuild your version of betaflight:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd src/betaflight
|
|
git reset --hard
|
|
git pull
|
|
make clean
|
|
make
|
|
```
