update arm toolchain installer for linux and make it a little more user friendly

[proxmark3-svn] / doc / README.TXT

This is a bare minimum compile environment for the proxmark3 sources. \r
\r
CONTENTS\r
\r
This bundle contains the ARM cross compiler in devkitARM and a _tiny_ subset\r
of the Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition in devkitWIN which is the bare minimum\r
required for compilation of this current source.\r
\r
If you plan on further source code development you are strongly encouraged\r
to download the full Visual C++ 2008 available for free download from\r
http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/\r
\r
CAVEATS\r
\r
There is no provision in this environment for compiling the FPGA source. To\r
do that you need to download the free (registration required) ISE WebPack\r
from Xilinx at http://www.xilinx.com/ise/logic_design_prod/webpack.htm\r
Be warned, the pack is huge, 2Gb download and >4Gb installed.\r
\r
USAGE\r
\r
First of all run the .msi file in devkitWIN\vcredist_x86 to install the VC++\r
redistributables, without these, nmake, cl and link won't run.\r
\r
Get a command prompts in the cockpit directory and pretty much run the batch\r
files in the order they appear:\r
\r
0setpath.bat  - sets the environment vars for the compile environment\r
1makearm.bat  - compiles the files in armsrc, output files in armsrc\obj\r
2makeboot.bat - compiles the files in bootrom, output files in bootrom\obj\r
3makewin.bat  - compiles the files in winsrc, output files in winsrc\obj\r
4flashos.bat  - attempts to upload the OS image to the proxmark3 board\r
