# AmbiqSuiteSDK
|
|
A copy of the AmbiqSuite SDK available on GitHub. Can be used to include AmbiqSuite as a submodule. Can be used to track issues with the SDK, however it is not maintained by AmbiqMicro so the issues may not be resolved upstream.
|
|
|
|
# Current Version
|
|
2.4.2
|
|
|
|
# Getting Started
|
|
|
|
First make sure that the necessary tools are available at your command line. They are:
|
|
- Git
|
|
- ```git```
|
|
- Make
|
|
- ```make```
|
|
- ARM GCC
|
|
- ```arm-none-eabi-xxx``` (preferably [8-2018-q4-major](https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads#panel2a) - there is a known problem with 8-2019-q3-update for example)
|
|
- Python3
|
|
- ```python3```
|
|
|
|
Then follow these steps
|
|
```
|
|
git clone --recursive https://github.com/sparkfun/AmbiqSuiteSDK
|
|
cd AmbiqSuiteSDK
|
|
cd boards_sfe/common/examples/{example}/gcc
|
|
YOUR_BOARD=redboard_artemis_atp # choose the bsp directory name of the board you want to use
|
|
make BOARD=$YOUR_BOARD # build project
|
|
make BOARD=$YOUR_BOARD bootload # equivalent to 'bootload_svl'
|
|
make BOARD=$YOUR_BOARD bootload_svl # bootloads using the SparkFun Variable Loader
|
|
make BOARD=$YOUR_BOARD bootload_asb # bootloads using the Ambiq Secure Bootloader - overwrites SparkFun Variable Loader
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Advanced Usage
|
|
All the convenient functionality that we've added to the AmbiqSuiteSDK comes from our [SparkFun AmbiqSuite Apollo3 BSPs](https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_Apollo3_AmbiqSuite_BSPs). That repo contains more [detailed documentation for advanced usage](https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_Apollo3_AmbiqSuite_BSPs#advanced-usage).

# Repository Structure
|
|
In addition to including the [SparkFun BSPs](https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_Apollo3_AmbiqSuite_BSPs)This repo catalogs information about the AmbiqSuite SDK. Various branches serve different purposes:

# Submodules
|
|
Git submodules can be used to reuse code between repositories. Some special precautions can be necessary when working with them -- most notably the need to clone the contents of submodules explicitly. Here's how to do that:
|
|
|
|
- If you've already cloned a repo
|
|
- ```git submodule update --init --recursive```
|
|
- If you are about to clone the repo
|
|
- ```git clone --recursive <project url>```
|
|
|
|
Maintainers of this repo may also need to keep submodules updated.
|
|

|

This repo includes the following git submodules:
