You will need the arm-none-eabi toolchain: https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads On Linux this can be installed by typing:
sudo apt install gcc-arm-none-eabi
The only external depedencies are libopencm3 and libopeninv. You can download and build this dependency by typing
make get-deps
Now you can compile stm32-vcu by typing
make
Build the tests
make Tests
Run the tests
./test/test_vcu
And upload it to your board using a JTAG/SWD adapter, the updater.py script or the esp8266 web interface
I use CodeBlocks IDE : https://www.codeblocks.org/
Sept 21 : V1 hardware and firmware from "Master" branch now running in my E46 Touring and E39 vehicles.
