9.. seealso::
10   There are a few caveats when running Pigweed on top of the Arduino API. See
11   :ref:`module-pw_arduino_build` for details.

42Setup
43=====
44
45You must first install an Arduino core or let Pigweed know where you have cores
46installed using the ``pw_arduino_build_CORE_PATH`` build arg.
47
48Installing Arduino Cores
49------------------------
50
51The ``arduino_builder`` utility can install Arduino cores automatically. It's
52recommended to install them to into ``third_party/arduino/cores/``.
53
54.. code:: sh
55
56  # Setup pigweed environment.
57  source activate.sh
58  # Install an arduino core
59  arduino_builder install-core --prefix ./third_party/arduino/cores/ --core-name teensy
60
61Building
62========
63To build for this Pigweed target, simply build the top-level "arduino" Ninja
64target. You can set Arduino build options using ``gn args out`` or by running:
65
66.. code:: sh
67
68  gn gen out --args='
69    pw_arduino_build_CORE_PATH="//third_party/arduino/cores"
70    pw_arduino_build_CORE_NAME="teensy"
71    pw_arduino_build_PACKAGE_NAME="teensy/avr"
72    pw_arduino_build_BOARD="teensy40"
73    pw_arduino_build_MENU_OPTIONS=["menu.usb.serial", "menu.keys.en-us"]'
74
75On a Windows machine it's easier to run:
76
77.. code:: sh
78
79  gn args out
80
81That will open a text file where you can paste the args in:
82
83.. code:: text
84
85  pw_arduino_build_CORE_PATH = "//third_party/arduino/cores"
86  pw_arduino_build_CORE_NAME = "teensy"
87  pw_arduino_build_PACKAGE_NAME="teensy/avr"
88  pw_arduino_build_BOARD = "teensy40"
89  pw_arduino_build_MENU_OPTIONS = ["menu.usb.serial", "menu.keys.en-us"]
90
91Save the file and close the text editor.
92
93Then build with:
94
95.. code:: sh
96
97  ninja -C out arduino
98
99To see supported boards and Arduino menu options for a given core:
100
101.. code:: sh
102
103  arduino_builder --arduino-package-path ./third_party/arduino/cores/teensy \
104                  --arduino-package-name teensy/avr \
105                  list-boards
106
107.. code:: text
108
109  Board Name  Description
110  teensy41    Teensy 4.1
111  teensy40    Teensy 4.0
112  teensy36    Teensy 3.6
113  teensy35    Teensy 3.5
114  teensy31    Teensy 3.2 / 3.1
115
116You may wish to set different arduino build options in
117``pw_arduino_build_MENU_OPTIONS``. Run this to see what's available for your core:
118
119.. code:: sh
120
121  arduino_builder --arduino-package-path ./third_party/arduino/cores/teensy \
122                  --arduino-package-name teensy/avr \
123                  list-menu-options --board teensy40
124
125That will show all menu options that can be added to ``gn args out``.
126
127.. code:: text
128
129  All Options
130  ----------------------------------------------------------------
131  menu.usb.serial             Serial
132  menu.usb.serial2            Dual Serial
133  menu.usb.serial3            Triple Serial
134  menu.usb.keyboard           Keyboard
135  menu.usb.touch              Keyboard + Touch Screen
136  menu.usb.hidtouch           Keyboard + Mouse + Touch Screen
137  menu.usb.hid                Keyboard + Mouse + Joystick
138  menu.usb.serialhid          Serial + Keyboard + Mouse + Joystick
139  menu.usb.midi               MIDI
140  ...
141
142  Default Options
143  --------------------------------------
144  menu.usb.serial             Serial
145  menu.speed.600              600 MHz
146  menu.opt.o2std              Faster
147  menu.keys.en-us             US English
148
149Testing
150=======
151When working in upstream Pigweed, building this target will build all Pigweed
152modules' unit tests.  These tests can be run on-device in a few different ways.
153
154Run a unit test
155---------------
156If using ``out`` as a build directory, tests will be located in
157``out/arduino_debug/obj/[module name]/[test_name].elf``.
158
159Tests can be flashed and run using the `arduino_unit_test_runner` tool. Here is
160a sample bash script to run all tests on a Linux machine.
161
162.. code:: sh
163
164  #!/bin/bash
165  gn gen out --export-compile-commands \
166      --args='pw_arduino_build_CORE_PATH="//third_party/arduino/cores"
167              pw_arduino_build_CORE_NAME="teensy"
168              pw_arduino_build_PACKAGE_NAME="teensy/avr"
169              pw_arduino_build_BOARD="teensy40"
170              pw_arduino_build_MENU_OPTIONS=["menu.usb.serial", "menu.keys.en-us"]' && \
171    ninja -C out arduino
172
173  for f in $(find out/arduino_debug/obj/ -iname "*.elf"); do
174      arduino_unit_test_runner --verbose \
175          --config-file ./out/arduino_debug/gen/arduino_builder_config.json \
176          --upload-tool teensyloader \
177          out/arduino_debug/obj/pw_string/test/format_test.elf
178  done
179
180Using the test server
181---------------------
182
183Tests may also be run using the `pw_arduino_use_test_server = true` GN arg.
184The server must be run with an `arduino_builder` config file so it can locate
185the correct Arduino core, compiler path, and Arduino board used.
186
187.. code:: sh
188
189  arduino_test_server --verbose \
190      --config-file ./out/arduino_debug/gen/arduino_builder_config.json
191
192.. TODO(tonymd): Flesh out this section similar to the stm32f429i target docs.
193
194Flashing Known Issues
195---------------------
196
197Teensy Boards
198^^^^^^^^^^^^^
199
200By default Teensyduino uses the `Teensy Loader Application
201<https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html>`_ which has a couple limitations:
202
203- Requires a GUI (or X11 on Linux).
204- Can only flash one board at a time.
205
