• Cygwin is a "Unix" emulator for Windows.

  There are plenty of options within the Cygwin installation. Use the github repository rose-hulman/tools/Cygwin/install.zip This will install many of the 'Unix' tools you will need to build ARM projects on a windows machine.

• Extract (via tar, unzip) into the directory

  /usr/local/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4\_9-2015q2

• Create a symlink /usr/local/gcc-arm-none-eabi -> /usr/local/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9-2015q2

  $ ln -s /usr/local/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4\_9-2015q2 /usr/local/gcc-arm-none-eabi

  This needs to match the Makefile symbol GNU\_GCC\_ROOT

• Download and install the appropriate for you OS.
• Works on Linux and OSX.
• Should work on Windows - I have not tested it.

• Not necessary for merely running your program.
• Eclipse Addtional Installation
  • Eclipse->Help->Install New Software...
  • Work with: http://embsysregview.sourceforge.net/update
  • Work with: http://gnuarmeclipse.sourceforge.net/updates
• Once installed, copy the nrf51.xml file into the embsysreg plugins directory
  • Linux:

  $ cp nRF51\_SDK\_9.0.0\_2e23562/SVD/nrf51.xml ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform\_793567567\_linux\_gtk\_x86\_64/plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.embsysregview.data\_0.2.5.r180/data/cortex-m0/Nordic/nrf51.xml

  + OSX:

  cp nRF51\_SDK\_9.0.0\_2e23562/SVD/nrf51.xml /Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.embsysregview.data\_0.2.5.r180/data/cortex-m0/Nordic/nrf51.xml

• Access to the device /dev/ttyACMx (where x is 0, 1, ...) requires root priveledges.
• The Makefile uses sudo to deal with this. To make your life easier

1. Add yourself to the dialout group usermod -a -G dialout (Requires logout for activation) id (Used to check your groups)
2. Edit the sudoers file using visudo. Add JLink apps to require not passwords for members of dialout:

   ## Allow members of the dialout group to sudo the JLink apps without a password. %dialout ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/JLink/JLinkExe %dialout ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/JLink/JLinkGDBServer %dialout ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/JLink/JLinkRemoteServer %dialout ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/JLink/JLinkRTTClient %dialout ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/JLink/JLinkSTM32 %dialout ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/JLink/JLinkSWOViewer
