# Protobuf files for defining ota packet structures
ble_ota
uses Google Protobuf for language, transport and architecture agnostic protocol communication. These proto files define the protocomm packet structure, separated across multiple fies:
# Compilation
Compilation requires protoc (Protobuf Compiler) and protoc-c (Protobuf C Compiler) installed. Since the generated files are to remain the same, as long as the proto files are not modified, therefore the generated files are already available under components/ble_ota/proto-c
and components/ble_ota/python
directories, and thus running cmake / make (and installing the Protobuf compilers) is optional.
If using cmake
follow the below steps. If using make
, jump to Step 2 directly.
## Step 1 (Only for cmake)
When using cmake, first create a build directory and call cmake from inside:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
## Step 2
Simply run make
to generate the respective C and Python files. The newly created files will overwrite those under components/ble_ota/proto-c
and components/ble_ota/python
