Build for IVY5661 from source

This document illustrates how to build Zephyr for IVY5661 board.

There will be 3 steps for building IVY5661 from source.

  • Step 1: Prepare the environment.
  • Step 2: Download the source code.
  • Step 3: Choose the board and application profile to make.

In this example, we assume the path: ~/workspace is your workspace.

Step 1: Prepare the environment

In this section, we should follow the Zephyr official document to install the Zehpyr SDK: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/getting_started/installation_linux.html#install-the-zephyr-software-development-kit-sdk

Step 2: Download the source code

$ cd ~/workspace
$ mkdir unisoc_zephyr_sdk && cd unisoc_zephyr_sdk
$ repo init -u https://github.com/unisoc/manifests.git -b master
$ repo sync
$ repo start --all master

Step 3: Build Zephyr for IVY5661

$ make BOARD=96b_ivy5661 PROFILE=repeater

Note: The default board is 96b_ivy5661, while the default profile is repeater. You can choose a different profile/application or create a new one under apps directory.

After the compilation, the images can be found in the directory output/repeater/images/.

  • fdl*.bin - Flash downloader
  • mcuboot-pubkey*.bin - Bootloader
  • zephyr-signed-ota*.bin - Kernel
  • wcn-modem* - WCN Modem

Now, proceed to installation page for flashing the binaries onto IVY5661.
