# Getting Started with nsh configuration
1. Download and install toolchain
$ curl https://static.dev.sifive.com/dev-tools/riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc-8.3.0-2019.08.0-x86_64-linux-ubuntu14.tar.gz
2. Download flash tools
There are multiple tools that can be used, but option (a) is recommended.
a. blflash -- cross platform open-source (recommended)
curl -L -o blflash https://github.com/spacemeowx2/blflash/releases/download/v0.3.0/blflash-linux-amd64
chmod +x ./blflash
b. Bouffalo Lab flash tools (official)
https://github.com/bouffalolab/flash_tools.git
3. Configure and build NuttX
$ mkdir ./nuttx; cd ./nuttx
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx.git nuttx
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx-apps.git apps
$ cd nuttx
$ make distclean
$ ./tools/configure.sh bl602evb:nsh
$ make -j
4. Connect bl602 and computer via USB
5. Flash
Use option (a) or (b) based on tool selection in section 2.
a. Using blflash
Place the board in bootloader mode
bl602evb: Jumper IO8 to HI and press reset
DT-BL10: Press and hold D8, press and release EN, release D8
$ blflash flash nuttx.bin --port /dev/ttyUSB0

b Using BL flash_tools
Run flash tools, select the nuttx.bin generated in the previous step in the
Firmware bin field, and refer to the document for the settings of the remaining fields.
6. Run connect terminal to UART (default baudrate 2000000)
$ screen /dev/ttyUSB0 2000000
7. Reset Device
bl602evb: Press reset
DT-BL10: Press and release EN
8. NSH should appear on console
# Using openocd and gdb:
This guide is focused on the bl602evb board. See the reference manual for
how to connect to the JTAG interface for other boards.
1. Make sure you are running a recently built version of openocd. The packaged
versions are very old, and will likely not work. https://github.com/ntfreak/openocd
2. Create a openocd-bl602.cfg file
