Bringing Up the Software Development Enviroment for FujiNet

News

May 2023 - moved project to PIO 6.x

This document will take you thru the steps needed to build, modify and deploy the FujiNet project onto the ESP32 system that is the heart of the FujiNet Hardware Device. Even if you are builing a raw devkit with an ESP32 dev board Board Bring Up Hardware or if you are using a retail FuijNet purcahsed from one of the many vendors selling them, you will have to build the same project and upload it to your device.

You can build new versions of FujiNet firmware on:

• Linux
• OSX
• Windows

The #FujiNet firmware is being written in Platform.IO. If you want to help work on it, you'll need to build and flash a version of the code on your hardware.

• To setup and use with the new 6x PIO - pio 6 x howto
• Legacy guide for the 3x PIO - pio 3 x howto

If you are upgrading there is a guide

Guide for upgrading from 3.4 to 6.1

Building in CLI

Tired of waiting for VSCode to do unimaginable things with PIO and waste cycles of your CPU and your brain? If so just run build with the nice build script included with every git clone! The script was created by Mark J. Fisher back in Dec. 2022. Thanks Mark!

Quick Setup:

start a terminal; go to your repo

dillera@trashcan ~/code/fujinet-platformio_6.1 (master) $ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.platformio/penv/bin
dillera@trashcan ~/code/fujinet-platformio_6.1 (master) $ ./build.sh  -b
dillera@trashcan ~/code/fujinet-platformio_6.1 (master) $ ./build.sh  -fum

   -b       # run build
   -c       # run clean before build
   -d       # add dev flag to build
   -m       # run monitor after build
   -u       # upload image (device code)
   -f       # upload filesystem (webUI etc)
