Now that we have the utilities setup for flashing and Debugging the firmware, we need to build and compile the firmware for the MuC. The Firmware runs Nuttx OS which is an RTOS with STMicro STM32L476 support.

Make Build Folder, Add utility and OS files

Make directory called “MotoModsFirmware” with ownership to store build files:

$ mkdir /home/username/MotoModsFirmware

Download the Source code into your directory. We need to give our username ownership of the clone folders so we can access them.

$ cd ./MotoModsFirmware/
$ export BUILD_TOP=`pwd`
$ git clone https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/nuttx

$ git clone https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/manifesto

$ git clone https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/muc-loader

$ git clone https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/bootrom-tools

$ git clone https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/mdkutility

Build kconfig-mconf, Nuttx uses the same configuration editor that is used to build the Linux Kernel.

$ cd /home/<username>/MotoModsFirmware/nuttx/misc/tools/kconfig-frontends
$ ./configure --enable-mconf --disable-nconf --disable-gconf --disable-qconf
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig

$ cd /home/<username>/MotoModsFirmware

$ export PATH=$PATH:/home/<username>/MotoModsFirmware/manifesto:/home/<username>/Moto

ModsFirmware/bootrom-tools
$ cd ./nuttx/nuttx
$ make distclean
$ cd ./tools
$ ./configure.sh hdk/muc/base_unpowered

At this point the configs/hdk/muc/base_unpowered/defconfig will be copied to ./MotoModsFirmware/nuttx/nuttx/.config and the setenv.sh and Make.defs file from that same directory will be copied up to ./MotoModsFirmware/nuttx/nuttx.

$ cd ./nuttx/nuttx
$ make

The firmware output is located in the nuttx.bin, nuttx.hex and nuttx.tftf files in the /MotoModsFirmware/nuttx/nuttx Directory. We will use these later.

Great tutorial, one mistake on this page which can cause some headaches export PATH=$PATH:home/<username>/MotoModsFirmware/manifesto:/home/<username>/Moto ModsFirmware/bootrom-tools should be export PATH…

Fixed, thank you. The original post also had a lot of unnecessary sudo's.

Great tutorial, one mistake on this page which can cause some headaches

export PATH=$PATH:home/<username>/MotoModsFirmware/manifesto:/home/<username>/Moto
ModsFirmware/bootrom-tools
should be
export PATH=$PATH:/home/<username>/MotoModsFirmware/manifesto:/home/<username>/Moto
ModsFirmware/bootrom-tools
it's just a forward slash but it makes a difference
thanks for the help
