Setting Up the RT-Smart Environment

Install Docker and Configure Permissions

sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker  # refresh the user group, or just log out and log back into the terminal

Install and Configure the K230 Shortcut Commands

curl -fsSL https://www.kendryte.com/misc/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc

Create a Working Directory and Pull the Build Environment

mkdir -p ~/rtos_k230 && cd ~/rtos_k230
k230 pull  # pull the K230-based Docker image; the first run takes a while depending on your network

Install the Toolchain

k230 download-toolchains TC1 TC3

Download the Source Code

# initialize repo and sync the code
k230 repo init -u git@gitee.com:canmv-k230/manifest.git --repo-url=git@gitee.com:canmv-k230/git-repo.git
k230 repo sync -j$(nproc)

Select the Board Configuration and Build

k230 make list-def                     # list all supported board configurations
k230 make k230_rtos_01studio_defconfig # select the configuration for the board you have
k230 make                              # start building the firmware

Common Issues

Upgrading the CMake Version

1. Download and extract it to the current user's home directory (~)

cd ~
wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.28.1/cmake-3.28.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf cmake-3.28.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

2. Temporarily add the new CMake to the environment variables

export PATH="$HOME/cmake-3.28.1-linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH"

3. Verify the version

cmake --version
