This repository demonstrates a rudamentary implementation of the AMY synth to duplicate issues
Mac Setup Prerequisites
You will need to execute the following commands to get a clean install of MaxOSX up and running with the tools necessary to work with this repo. NOTE: This install was done with Sequoia: 15.1.1 and should result in a clean install up and running with the tools necessary to work with this repo.
-
Install Xcode Command Line tools:
xcode-select --install -
Install Rosetta (Only if you are on an M1 Mac or newer):
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
Getting started
- Clone this repository
- Run
cd amy_synth_nrf52_exampleto enter the directory - Run
makeormake helpto get a list of things you can do$ make all make arduino-cli config-file cores libs sketches arduino-cli Install arduino-cli clean Remove all generated files config-file Create local config file, add BOARD_MANAGER_URLS cores Install the required platform cores distclean Remove all non-versioned files help Display the common make targets libs Install required libraries sketches Build all sketches amy_synth_nrf52_example.ino Build amy_synth_nrf52_example - Run
sudo make arduino-clito install arduino-cli (this only has to be done once) - Run
make allto begin building the sample sketch$ make all - Edit sample sketch and run
make amy_synth_nrf52_example.inoto re-build the sample sketch$ vi amy_synth_nrf52_example.ino $ make amy_synth_nrf52_example.ino
Uploading code (only tested on Mac)
- The following are some examples on how to upload code to a board. The Makefile will attempt to use the first
/dev/cu.usb*serial port that it finds. A different port can be defined by using the 3rd example below or by setting an environment variable:$ make flash or $ PORT=/dev/cu.usbmodem101 make flash - Optionally, you can copy the uf2 file directly to the device. While the device is in DFU mode, run the following commands to first build the firmware, then copy it to the device (example is for the Nice Nano v2):
$ BOARD=shorepine:nrf52:nicenanov2 make all $ cp build/shorepine.nrf52.nicenanov2/amy_synth_nrf52_example.ino.uf2 /Volumes/NICENANO
