prepare environment

• install bindfs, podman, jq, ccache
• edit /etc/fuse.conf: uncomment (or add) user_allow_other

Prepare build directory

• git clone git@github.com:nonlinear-labs-dev/C15.git C15
• git submodule update --init --recursive
• cd C15
• cmake --preset dev-debug
  • the dev-debug preset already contains default binary and install directories
    • if desired, provide a custom binary directory (-B), e.g. outside the repository folder by adding -B ../build
    • if desired, provide a custom install directory (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX), e.g. outside the repository folder by adding -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../nl-rootfs
  • for building yocto-based updates it is recommended to provide a cache folder by adding -DYOCTO_SHARED_CACHE_DIR="<desired_yocto_cache_dir>"
  • if desired, choose another cmake preset, e.g. dev-release

Build binaries for local development PC

• cmake --build --preset dev-debug --target install

Build Update for C15

• cmake --build --preset dev-debug --target update-c15

Build Tests with coverage

• install lcov
• configure cmake with -DENABLE_COVERAGE=On
• build <target>-coverage and inspect results in build-dir/package/<target>/<target>-coverage

For developing the meteor package

• start either c16-playground or c15-playground
• make meteor-dev-environment-base
• wait until settled
• open with your ide: ...build-folder/package/meteor/ide
• open in browser: http://localhost:3000/index.html?page=[c16 | c16Debug |nonmaps | nonmapsPresetSearch]
• if needed for developing NonMaps: see For developing NonMaps

Debugging a remote meteor UI

• start ssh-tunnel to target ssh -L 9222:localhost:9222 sscl@raspi-ip
• open chrome on the developer-pc and navigate to chrome://inspect/#devices
• navigate to Devices and select inspect for the c16 URL below the Remote Target #LOCALHOST heading (this might take a few seconds to show up)

For developing NonMaps

1. Once: configure using cmake --preset dev-nonmaps --fresh
2. After every commit:
3. run cmake --build --preset dev-nonmaps
4. start the c15-playground
5. Enable gwt compile as documented here. In short:

• navigate to package/nonmaps/
• run mvn gwt:devmode (once install maven if not done yet)

4. Then, open localhost:8080 in the browser

Useful: Save the following bookmarks to your browser:

• "nonmaps: enable dev mode": javascript:%7B window.__gwt_bookmarklet_params %3D %7B'server_url'%3A'http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9876%2F'%7D%3B var s %3D document.createElement('script')%3B s.src %3D 'http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9876%2Fdev_mode_on.js'%3B void(document.getElementsByTagName('head')%5B0%5D.appendChild(s))%3B%7D
• "nonmaps: compile": javascript:%7B window.__gwt_bookmarklet_params %3D %7Bserver_url%3A'http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9876%2F'%2Cmodule_name%3A'nonmaps'%7D%3B var s %3D document.createElement('script')%3B s.src %3D 'http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9876%2Fdev_mode_on.js'%3B void(document.getElementsByTagName('head')%5B0%5D.appendChild(s))%3B%7D

Show the developer options, if needed:

1. in the Web UI, enable Setup > GUI Settings > Show Developer Options
