Building the Code
Building Deviation requires a cross-compiler tool-chain, and due to memory limitations on some transmitters, only some versions of the compilers can successfully build small-enough code for those. This means that getting the build-chain setup can be challenging. We are currently working on simplifying the process using Docker images, which should provide a consistent build environment for everyone. Instructions will be added to the wiki when it is ready, but for now, more information can be found here
If you want to just look at the code, build the emulators, or try your hands at rolling your own build environment, the Deviation GitHub repository is here. Instructions for a manual build can be found there as well.
Some users have also tried various build approaches. These are generally less well supported, but alternate instructions for building on Windows can be found here, and instructions for building with Eclipse are available here.
Hardware Information
Deviation has been designed to be portable to lots of different hardware. While it is easiest to port to STM32 based transmitters, it should be possible to port it to any hardware with a sufficiently capable MCU. The 1st step in supporting a new transmitter is to document its pin connections. We have provided this information for each of the supported transmitters here
