Steps 1,2,3 are easy step 4 is setup path in windows OS “environmental variable”

Looking forward towards step 5 .

dc42 Step 5 in buildinstructions. what is all about?

@ViralTinker
Step 5 is to check if the commands rm and make are correctly found in the PATH, after adding the bin Folder from Step 4 into it.

which is definitely a UNIX/LInux command and won't work on Windows.
You can try to replace which with whereon Windows. This should work, but i cannot test it.

I feel much lighter know ,
How build instructions can be updated is it via pull requests??

So Step 5 almost can be skipped!?

mloidl

IMO this step is optional. It's just to verify the commands rm and make are available within the build process.
The build instructions can be changed by uploading a pull request, since it's just a file in the RepRapFirmware-Repository.

If you can verify where is working on Windows i can do that for you, or you ask @dc42 if he will do it within the next commit.

@mloidl
Just to double check , are you saying ‘where’ Command just need past in Command line?

mloidl

@ViralTinker
You have to type where rm in the command line after you modified your PATH.
To ensure the PATH is correct you can show it by typing echo %PATH% in the command line.

Maybe you have to restart the command line if you modified the PATH somewhere in your Windows Settings.

If you only type where in the command line you'll get a description how the command works (including some examples)

Ok thanks

Hi again everyone,..

Now step 7 is easy

Download this github project as a zip file and unzip it into C:/Eclipse/Firmware. Then rename folder ReprapFirmware-dev in that folder to RepRapFirmware.

After this it gets interesting

Is that mean you can use RepRapFirmware itself without CoreNG and DuetWiFiSocketServer and RTOS-enabled ???

oliof

No, you need to complete the following steps as well.

Can we continue ?, Shall we?!

What function CoreNG does?

dc42

CoreNG abstracts most of the hardware. Many years ago it started out as the Arduino Due core, but it's been almost completely rewritten over the years.

PrintMake

Is that where the name“Duet” comes from ?

PrintMake

How about DuetWiFiSocketServer and RTOS-enabled ???

If I understand correctly DuetWiFiSocketServer,handles protocol to send packets???

And RTOS real time operations?

dc42

DuetWiFiSocketServer is the source code for DuetWiFiServer.bin. You don't need to build it if you just want to change RRF, but you do need it in the workspace because RRF uses one include file from it.

All RRF2 builds use RTOS except the builds for Duet 06/085, RADDS and Alligator. All RRF3 builds use RTOS.

Managed to Compile existing files without editing .
I wish buildinstructions could be more detailed.

AFTER SUCCESSFUL COMPILING WHERE IS .BIN FILE?

In the project directory there is a binary directory for each configuration.

Found it Thank you
