Prerequisites

  • Ubuntu 64-bit 14.04 LTS or higher. It should work on Debian as well;
  • A PIC32MZ supported board;
  • Cables for the corresponding board.

Note: The installation script supports only 64-bit systems.

Running The Install Script

Install the git client.

sudo apt-get install git

Clone the prplSecureBoot™ repository.

git clone https://github.com/prplfoundation/prpl-secure-boot

The git clone command will create a prpl-secure-boot folder. Now, you can perform the install-tools.sh script. This script will download and install the packages and tools needed to compile prpl-secure-boot. You can find the install-tools.sh script in the prpl-secure-boot/bin folder.

chmod +x prpl-secure-boot/scripts/install-tools.sh
sudo prpl-secure-boot/scripts/install-tools.sh

Follow the instruction on the screen. You will need to restart your computer after the installation.

If you have any problem with the install-tools.sh script, please, install the tools and packages manually following the steps here.
