The closest thing I can find to instructions on how to build Meshcore are here:
https://docs.meshcore.io/faq/#59-q-how-do-i-build-meshcore-firmware-from-source
Problems:
-
Says to:
git clone https://github.com/ripplebiz/MeshCore.git
What is "ripplebiz" and why doesn't it say to clone this URL: https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore.git
-
Says to: open platformio.ini and in [arduino_base] edit the LORA_FREQ=867.5
Okay, I gather that I should set this to the LoRa frequency for USA/Canada, which is 910.525. It would be nice if the docs used complete sentences and at least provided a link to valid frequencies.
-
Says to: pio run -e RAK_4631_Repeater
Which results in:
UnknownEnvNamesError: Unknown environment names 'RAK_4631_Repeater'. Valid names are '...<followed by every variant in the project>
Whatever example is given should build.
-
At this point (assuming you can build one of the included variants) it would be nice if there was some guidance on how to upload the built firmware to the board. In my case I know I have to put my board into DFU mode and then copy firmware.uf2 to it. There is nothing like that in this document. What do you do if your board needs it uploaded via serial?
