Building from code

Clone repository

If you have not cloned this repository locally; clone the git repository locally by running

git clone --recursive https://github.com/pine64/blisp.git
cd blisp
git submodule update --init --recursive

If vendor/argtable3 and vendor/libserialport/ are empty, this last step has failed and should be investigated.

Build the library and command line utility

For building blisp command line tool, use following commands:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DBLISP_BUILD_CLI=ON ..
cmake --build .

Need more build details? See here.

Usage

For BL70X, BL61X, BL808 and BL606P, connected via USB, you can use following command, which will auto-detect serial port on Windows:

.\blisp.exe write --chip=bl70x --reset .\name_of_firmware.bin
or
.\blisp.exe write -c bl70x --reset .\name_of_firmware.bin

For BL60X, you need to specify also the serial port path:

blisp write --chip bl60x --reset -p /dev/ttyUSB0 name_of_firmware.bin

If you wish to see additional debugging, set the environmental variable LIBSERIALPORT_DEBUG before running. You can either export this in your shell or change it for a single run via

  LIBSERIALPORT_DEBUG=y ./a.out write -c bl70x -p /dev/tty.usbmodem0000000200001

Because this is done at the lowest level of serial communication, the displays aren't packet-aware or know about the chip's command set or such. This is really only useful for debugging systems-level issues withing the device or blisp itself.
