vesc-tool-flake

A Nix flake that wraps around VESC Tool, which easily allows you to override the VESC Tool source git commit used when building the package.

Usage

This flake's only outputs are packages.<system>.default, for each system created by flake-utils's eachDefaultSystem. Include these in environment.systemPackages or any other list that accepts packages to install it to your system (like home-manager.users.<user>.home.packages for instance).

You can try it directly from your shell by running the following command:

nix run github:laxsjo/vesc-tool-flake

Here is a sample flake.nix NixOS configuration that install VESC Tool as a system package.

{
  description = "My NixOS configuration";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-24.05";
    vesc-tool-flake = {
      url = "github:laxsjo/vesc-tool-flake";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };

  outputs = inputs@{ self, nixpkgs, vesc-tool-flake, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations."nixos" = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem rec {
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      modules = [
        {
          environment.systemPackages = [
              vesc-tool-flake.packages.${system}.default
          ];
        }
      ];
    };
  };
}

If you want to build a different version of VESC Tool, you only need to override this flake's vesc-tool-src input.

To set it to a specific branch:

{  
  vesc-tool-flake = {
    url = "github:laxsjo/vesc-tool-flake";
    inputs.vesc-tool-src.url = "github:vedderb/vesc_tool/master";
  };
}

To set it to a specific commit:

{  
  vesc-tool-flake = {
    url = "github:laxsjo/vesc-tool-flake";
    inputs.vesc-tool-src.url = "github:vedderb/vesc_tool/4b3cb2a0555576e762491678c08d5d2286f9d6f9";
  };
}
