Using GreatFET on windows

Python

  • Download the latest version of python3 here
  • Be sure to check the Add Python x.x to PATH box in the bottom left corner
  • Open a command prompt window and type python -V to verify that the version of python you downloaded has been installed correctly

Git

  • Download the latest version of git for Windows here

    Note: the commands described later will be linux-like and done inside the Git bash window instead of the default cmd for Windows

Zadig

  • Download the latest version of Zadig here
  • We rely on one of the generic USB drivers for Windows; which often needs a little help to wind up installed and bound to the relevant device. For now, the easiest way to do that is to use the Zadig utility to bind the "libusb-win32" driver to the GreatFET device. There's a generic tutorial here; you'll need to select the GreatFET device and select "libusb-win32" as the driver to bind to.

GreatFET

  • Go to the greatfet repo to get the latest source code
  • Click the clone or download button in the top right corner and copy the SSH or HTTPS link to your clipboard
  • Open a new git bash window (close any existing one if you have one open) and enter the following commands:
git clone [link-copied-above]
cd greatfet
git submodule init
git submodule update
pushd libgreat/host/
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
popd

pushd host/
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
popd
  • The greatfet host tools should now be installed properly, enter the command gf info.exe to verify that a GreatFET One board is found
  • TODO: flashing firmware on Windows
  • The rest of the Getting Started Guide can be followed to blink an LED on your GreatFET

Note: greatfet commands will need .exe appended to them; for example gf shell in the guide becomes gf shell.exe
