Prerequisites

To begin, install the required build tools using your package manager of choice.

sudo apt install cmake ninja-build wget unzip

Download the SDK

Then download and unzip the latest version of the SDK for Linux from the PowerBlocks Releases Page.

Replace <VERSION> with the latest version.

cd ~
wget https://github.com/rainbain/PowerBlocks/releases/download/<VERSION>/PowerBlocks-linux.zip
unzip PowerBlocks-linux.zip 
rm PowerBlocks-linux.zip

Start a Project

We will create a project folder and copy in the HelloWorld example.

mkdir MyProject
cd MyProject
cp -r ~/PowerBlocks-linux/examples/HelloWorld/. .

Build the Project

To build it we will run PowerBlocks' export script to add the compilers and toolchain to the path and build the project.

mkdir build
cd build
. ~/PowerBlocks-linux/export.sh
cmake ..
ninja

You should now see a HelloWorld.elf inside the build/ folder of your project.
