Setting up development environment on Linux

1. Install tools via apt-get:

apt-get install screen
apt-get install git
apt-get install sdcc
apt-get install doxygen
apt-get install uncrustify
apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
apt-get install python3-pip
apt-get install texlive-latex-base
apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
apt-get install texlive-extra-utils  
apt-get install poppler-utils
apt-get install cmake
apt-get install cppcheck

Libusb is needed by stm8flash.

2. Clone, build and install stm8flash:

git clone https://github.com/vdudouyt/stm8flash.git
cd stm8flash/
make
make install

3. Install python libraries.

pip3 install pyserial
pip3 install pyflakes

4. Install R libraries, run R in command line:

pi@raspberrypi:~/IonizationChamber/software/DataAcquisitionFromDevice $ R

R version 3.5.2 (2018-12-20) -- "Eggshell Igloo"
Copyright (C) 2018 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf (32-bit)

Type (write yes on next prompts):

install.packages('latticeExtra')

install.packages('gridExtra')

5. Stm8flash enumerates as USB device, add access to this device for non-root users (so that its possible to flash the chip without being root):

chmod o+w /dev/bus/usb/001/004

In above example, /dev/bus/usb/001/004 is where the stm8flash enumerates, you will get id of your stm8flash from error message when trying to flash the board.

6. If additional data is collected via DMM, install:

pip3 install python-usbtmc
