Building the TLSR951x/921x SDK in Linux

This section explains how to compile them with some tricks on Linux. It is assumed that you already know how to use the Telink V323 RDS IDE.Before you begin, make sure the Telink RDS IDE is correctly installed on your Windows PC, and make sure the Telink RISC-V Linux Toolchain is correctly installed on your Linux PC.

First, you need to import and compile the SDK you want to compile in Windows, using the Telink V323 RDS IDE, and click File --> Clean Project to remove the files generated during compilation.

Copy all the contents of the SDK to your Linux machine. Let's assume your SDK folder path is "SDKRoot" and that the project you're compiling is UART_Demo. Then, in the SDKRoot/UART_Demo directory, there will be a Makefile file.

You need to modify all path strings in the Makefile to match the local paths on your Linux machine.

Then, open a terminal. Let's assume your Telink RISC-V Linux Toolchain path is ToolchainPath.

export PATH=ToolchainPath:${PATH}

cd SDKRoot/UART_Demo


make all
