Kubos CLI

NOTE: This module is primarily meant to run inside of a provisioned Vagrant Box.

ALMOST ALL USERS WILL WANT TO USE THIS IN THE VAGRANT CONTEXT SEE THE KUBOS DOCS FOR THE VAGRANT INSTALLATION DOCS

Advanced users may want to use this natively on their machines. Below are the instructions for manual installation

Installation:

Install the kubos-cli

$ pip install kubos-cli

Update:

Kubos projects are small modules built against a number of Kubos “source” modules. Before working on your project you will need to specify and activate a released version of the Kubos source modules.

Fetch all of the kubos source releases, without activating any of them:

$ sudo kubos update

Usage:

Create a new KubOS project:

$ kubos init  <project name>

By default, this will create a new KubOS project with example code to run on KubOS RT. If you would like to create a project with example code to run on KubOS Linux, add the ‘–linux’ (or ‘-l’) option.

$ kubos init --linux <project name>

Setting a Target Board

Kubos Projects automatically set and use predefined build, flash and debug configurations based on the hardware platform you are working on.

List available targets:

$ kubos target --list
Available targets are:

x86-linux-native
kubos-linux-beaglebone-gcc
kubos-linux-isis-gcc
kubos-linux-pumpkin-mbm2-gcc
...

Set target device:

$ kubos target <target>

Build your project:

$ kubos build
$ kubos build -- -v #for verbose builds

Flash your target device:

$ kubos flash

Debug your project

A gdb server must be started to allow your gdb instance to connect and debug directly on your hardware device. After building your project with kubos build kubos can start a gdb server and gdb instance for you.

Start a gdb server and instance for you: Note: this may need to run as root depending on your usb device permissions

$ kubos debug
