What is in this repository?

This repo contains a list of scripts, templates and tools to generate a working toolchain for the Evercade, Evercade VS and Super Pocket from scratch.

Dependencies

Different systems might require a host of tools to get a build working, in ubuntu you might want:

sudo apt install -yy git build-essential autoconf ninja-build meson cmake bison flex gawk gettext g++ help2man libncurses-dev libtool-bin texinfo unzip libffi-dev libexpat-dev patchelf gperf intltool golang

How to build it?

• On Ubuntu 22.04:

sudo apt install -yy git build-essential autoconf ninja-build meson cmake bison flex gawk gettext g++ help2man libncurses-dev libtool-bin texinfo unzip libffi-dev libexpat-dev patchelf gperf intltool golang
cd eversdk
./build-sdk.sh

• On Google Colab:

!sudo apt install -yy git build-essential autoconf ninja-build meson cmake bison flex gawk gettext g++ help2man libncurses-dev libtool-bin texinfo unzip libffi-dev libexpat-dev patchelf gperf intltool golang
!git clone https://github.com/JohnnyonFlame/EverSDK
!echo "CT_EXPERIMENTAL=y" >> EverSDK/templates/crosstool-config
!echo "CT_ALLOW_BUILD_AS_ROOT=y" >> EverSDK/templates/crosstool-config
!echo "CT_ALLOW_BUILD_AS_ROOT_SURE=y" >> EverSDK/templates/crosstool-config
!cd EverSDK && \
  unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH && \
  unset LIBRARY_PATH && \
  export FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1 && \
  ./build-sdk.sh
!tar -czf EverSDK.tar.gz EverSDK/

On deploying and debugging.

The out/shell.tar.gz package will be built once the compilation process is finished, that contains a series of applications and tools to allow you to remotely deploy and debug homebrew with ease on your device with an EverSD.

To use this with the VS, extract the package on your EverSD, run the Shell application and you'll be able to ssh/scp into root@cobalt with the password eversdk.

To use this with the OG and SP, extract the package on your EverSD, run the ADB Shell application and you'll be able to use adb push, adb pull and adb shell commands to deploy and debug applications.

How do I use this?

You can use this to build a variety of different project types, the building scripts are kept straightforward with the sake of serving as a quick reference, such as building with go, GNU Configure and Meson. The toolchain files for common build systems such as CMake, Meson are generated for you in toolchain on the EverSDK folder once the SDK is built.

E.g. To build with CMake:

export EVERSDK=</path/to/your/eversdk/build>
cmake -Bbuild -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=${EVERSDK}/toolchain/armhf.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -C build -j$(($(nproc)+1))
