You'll need to have installed the GNU Embedded Toolchain for ARM. If you haven't yet, see the Installing_ChipWhisperer guide, specifically the Installing ARM Toolchain section, for details.

Once you have a working compiler (check by typing 'arm-none-eabi-gcc' at the command line).

1. We want to use the existing SimpleSerial firmware as a base for our project, but we don't want to edit the existing firmware. Instead, we'll make a new project with a copy of this firmware. Copy the directory simpleserial-base which is found at chipwhisperer/hardware/victims/firmware/ of the chipwhisperer release to a new directory called simpleserial-base-lab1. You must keep it in the same directory, as it will reference other files within that directory for the build process.

2. Open a terminal with arm-none-eabi-gcc in the path. If using Windows the sidebar on the Installing_ChipWhisperer page

3. Change the terminal to the newly copied directory. For example:

   Windows:

   cd c:\chipwhisperer\hardware\victims\firmware\simpleserial-base-lab1

   Linux/macOS:

   cd chipwhisperer/hardware/victims/firmware/simpleserial-base-lab1

4. Then, run make to build the system. Make sure you specify which platform you're using as your target. For example, for the ChipWhisperer Lite target, run

   make PLATFORM=CWLITEARM CRYPTO_TARGET=TINYAES128C

   Which should have the following output:
