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
  7. You will find the DFU update file in a folder like this on windows. C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_build_RANDOM\SKETCHNAME.ino.zip

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

  1. Download Zadig
  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

NOTE: To roll back to the original driver go to: Device Manager -> Right click on device -> Check box for "Delete the driver software for this device" and click Uninstall
