How to compile firmware

[OH1E]

Heya, after searching there is no readme howto compile the firmware.
Would be nice to know exact what libraries and what is needed on different platforms is needed to fully compile firmware. example will this compile on linux? there is no makefile for it. what is needed on windows to get it compiled etc.

Yes.

The best way is to compile and upload it yourself, then you can see quite quickly whether the text fits.

Note.

If you look in the tools directory, there is a program called GD77_firmware loader. Its a DOS type program I wrote as a simple way to upload.

Just drag you sgl file onto that program an it will upload it to the radio (if the radio is in firmware loader mode).
I have actually associated the .sgl file extension with that program, so I just double click on the sgl and it runs that program.

I compiled the firmware without issue. However, with the current code pulled from GitHub, the radio reboots about 1 second after transmitting or receiving any DMR transmission. The talkgroup name display and then the radio crashes to a reboot. No problems with analog though.

Update: Not sure what the issue was. Possible corruption of something. Re-downloaded the git and it worked. Very strange.
