esplorative-idiot is a throwaway repository to test the LoRa technology from within zephyr.

It intends to build a firmware to run on Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V2 boards.

Create and enter the workspace directory:

mkdir esplorative-workspace
cd esplorative-workspace

Fetch the sources down to the workspace:

west init -m [email protected]:idiot-prototypes/esplorative-idiot
west update

Build and flash the LoRa samples from the source tree:

The receiver on one hand:

west build -d build/lora/receive -b heltec_wifi_lora32_v2 esplorative-idiot/samples/drivers/lora/receive/
west flash -d build/lora/receive

The sender on the other hand:

west build -d build/lora/send -b heltec_wifi_lora32_v2 esplorative-idiot/samples/drivers/lora/send/
west flash -d build/lora/send

Install the Zephyr CMake package using west zephyr-export:

west zephyr-export

Install the toolchain by extracting the archive to the home directory ~/.espressif/tools/zephyr.

Example on Linux x86_64:

mkdir -p ~/.espressif/tools/zephyr
curl -s https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc8_4_0-esp-2020r3-linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar xvzf - -C ~/.espressif/tools/zephyr

Eventually, install the shell completion script using west completion, and relog then (or source ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/west).

Example for bash:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions
west completion bash >~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/west
