-====== Building Pixy Firmware ======
-Pixy currently uses [[http://www.keil.com/arm/mdk.asp|Keil MDK-ARM]]. We were one of the first users of the LCP4300 series from NXP and Keil was the only toolchain with comprehensive support.
-Keil is basically free for university users, but costs real money for everyone else. The firmware will eventually be converted to compile with GCC, hopefully soon.
-To compile the firmware with Keil, you just point the IDE to the "workspace.uvmpw" workspace file in ~src/device/main_m4. It will open a workspace with 4 different projects: main_m4, main_m0, libpixy_m0, libpixy_m4. Compile the 4 projects in this order: libpixy_m4, libpixy_m0, main_m0, then finally the main_m4 project. The main_m4 project will create a firmware.hex output file that you can then upload into Pixy using [[wiki:Uploading_New_Firmware|firmware upload mode]].
-If you'd like to modify or create your own firmware, please join our [[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pixy_firmware_sdk|firmware SDK group.]]
