# A Nix flake file, mainly intended for developing TinyGo. # You can download Nix here, for use on your Linux or macOS system: # https://nixos.org/download.html # After you have installed Nix, you can enter the development environment as # follows: # # nix develop # # This drops you into a bash shell, where you can install TinyGo simply using # the following command: # # go install # # That's all! Assuming you've set up your $PATH correctly, you can now use the # tinygo command as usual: # # tinygo version # # But you'll need a bit more to make TinyGo actually able to compile code: # # make llvm-source # fetch compiler-rt # git submodule update --init # fetch lots of other libraries and SVD files # make gen-device -j4 # build src/device/*/*.go files # make wasi-libc # build support for wasi/wasm # # With this, you should have an environment that can compile anything - except # for the Xtensa architecture (ESP8266/ESP32) because support for that lives in # a separate LLVM fork. # # You can also do many other things from this environment. Building and flashing # should work as you're used to: it's not a VM or container so there are no # access restrictions and you're running in the same host environment - just # with a slightly different set of tools available. { inputs = { # Use a recent stable release, but fix the version to make it reproducible. # This version should be updated from time to time. nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixos-23.11"; flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils"; }; outputs = { self, nixpkgs, flake-utils }: flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem (system: let pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}; in with pkgs; { devShells.default = mkShell { buildInputs = [ # These dependencies are required for building tinygo (go install). go llvmPackages_17.llvm llvmPackages_17.libclang llvmPackages_17.libcxx # Additional dependencies needed at runtime, for building and/or # flashing. llvmPackages_17.lld avrdude binaryen # Additional dependencies needed for on-chip debugging. # These tools are rather big (especially GDB) and not frequently # used, so are commented out.
