I’ve been trying to get the CWLITEARM up and running on my arm based mac, but I’m having issues with the firmware building and uploading process. When I run
%%bash
cd …/hardware/victims/firmware/simpleserial-base/
gmake PLATFORM=CWLITEARM CRYPTO_TARGET=NONE
(using gmake instead of make because of the way brew installs make 4 on macos)
I get the following output:
SS_VER set to SS_VER_1_1
SS_VER set to SS_VER_1_1
SS_VER set to SS_VER_1_1
SS_VER set to SS_VER_1_1
gmake[1]: ‘.dep’ is up to date.
SS_VER set to SS_VER_1_1
SS_VER set to SS_VER_1_1
.
Welcome to another exciting ChipWhisperer target build!!
