Installation & Setup: Daisy Pod

  1. Install the necessary prerequesites for Dahlia.
  2. Follow the instructions for installing the Daisy Toolchain for your OS
  3. Build libdaisy using the Daisy toolchain:
$ cd lib/pd2dsy/libdaisy
$ make clean | grep "warning:\|error:"
$ make -j4 | grep "warning:\|error:"
$ cd ..                             # return to the 'pd2dsy' directory
  1. Install a second Python virtual environment specifically for pd2dsy:
$ py -m venv ./pd_env
$ source ./pd_env/scripts/activate  # for MacOS/Linux this is `./pd_env/bin/activate`
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install setuptools
$ deactivate
  1. If there's no errors from the above, then everything Dahlia needs for Daisy is ready to go. As a test, return to the dahlia root directory and generate for Daisy using HVCC and pd2dsy:
# generate for a target (e.g. Daisy) from pd source using HVCC only
$ source ./dahlia.sh daisy

# build from pd source and compile for Daisy platform using Arm toolchain
$ source ./dahlia.sh pd2dsy

The second script will automatically try uploading to a Daisy device. The UI is expected to work, but audio will not as the Pd code uses the |null_voice| module in place of |miniphonic|. The reason for this is a known memory limitation; Electrosmith has not yet released a working pd2dsy solution for executables larger than 128 kB.
