Feature request: Automatic installation tool

Open MathiasSeifert opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Create a tool that can install the TesLight firmware and UI onto a fresh controller/SD card with minimal user interaction and skill required. Users should be able to supply any TesLight update package as input for the tool.

This is to eliminate the need to install a large tool stack and build the firmware manually.

For reference: This somehow correlated with #56

The multi-platform Installation tool should

  • unpack these packages
  • Verifies them
  • install bootloader and other stuff on the controller
  • install firmware from update package
  • install content for SD card

I will take it, otherwise it will never happen😋. Graphical tool, command line, script? I would vote for a graphical tool tbh. Need to see what can be used easily in a platform independant way. Maybe Java + FX.

I vote for a Graphical tool as well. And I do agree, platform independence should be the goal.

Tool is in progress. Basic things are already working. However progress is slow due to time reasons. Too much work for one person. I need to focus on more important topics as first prority and continue this on the side when ever I have time.
