Installing

Board Manager

1. Download and install the Arduino IDE (At least v1.6.12)
2. Start the Arduino IDE
3. Go into Preferences
4. Add https://atc1441.github.io/D6Library/package_nRF5_boards_index.json as an "Additional Board Manager URL"
5. Open the Boards Manager from the Tools -> Board menu and install "D6 Tracker by ATC1441"
6. Select the DSD6 Tracker board from the Tools -> Board menu

NOTE: During installation it takes the Arduino IDE a few minutes to extract the tools after they have been downloaded, please be patient.

Adafruit's nrfutil tools

adafruit-nrfutil (derived from Nordic pc-nrfutil) is needed to create the OTA update file.

• For Windows and macOS, pre-built executable binaries are included in the BSP at tools/adafruit-nrfutil/. It should work out of the box.

• Linux users need to run the follow commands to install the nrfutil tools:

  $ pip3 install wheel --user
  $ pip3 install adafruit-nrfutil --user
  

  Then make sure adafruit-nrfutil executable is in your path, if not try to add the following to your .bashrc file:

  PATH="$HOME/.local/bin/:$PATH"
  

  After that you may need to restart your pc.

Driver Setup for St-Link

2. Plugin St-Link board
3. Start Zadig
4. Select Options -> List All Devices
5. Plug and unplug your device to find what changes, and select the St-Link from the device dropdown
6. Click Replace Driver / Install Driver
