To build the firmware for the tinympc controller on Crazyflie using WSL on Windows, follow these organized steps:

Prerequisites for Windows

Windows: Install WSL, Ubuntu, and CFclient

• Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
• Run: wsl --install
• Download and install Python 3.7 or higher from Python.org.
• Check the option to add Python to PATH during installation.
• Open PowerShell or Command Prompt and run:

  pip install cfclient

Steps for Ubuntu Linux / Windows (WSL)

1. Update and Install Build Dependencies

• Update the package list:

  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

• Install necessary build tools and dependencies:

  sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake git python3 python3-dev

2. Clone the Firmware Repository

• In WSL, navigate to your desired directory and clone the repository:

  git clone --recursive https://github.com/ginoekzhang/a2r-tinympc-crazyflie-firmware.git
  cd a2r-tinympc-crazyflie-firmware

3. Configure the Build Settings

• Run the configuration menu:

  make menuconfig

• Navigate to:
  • App Layer Configuration: Enable "App entry point."
  • Controllers and Estimators: Enable "Out of tree."
• Save the configuration as .config.

4. Build the Firmware

• Compile the firmware using all available CPU cores:

  make -j$(nproc)
