+ # zephyr-installer
20
+
21
+ Installs embedded C libraries into a Zephyr application, nRF Connect SDK ones included.
22
+
23
+ A library written for any project has no idea what a Zephyr module is. This copies it into your application, makes it a module, adds it to the build, and switches it on in `prj.conf`, so `west build` picks it up and its settings live in Kconfig like everything else in Zephyr.
24
+
25
+ It works with any library that has an `installer.yml` at the root of its repository. I wrote it for my own [NimaLTD](https://github.com/nimaltd) libraries, and they all have one, but nothing in it is tied to them: add an `installer.yml` to yours, as shown [below](#for-someone-writing-a-library), and it installs the same way. The same file serves [stm32-installer](https://github.com/nimaltd/stm32-installer), so one library can be installed into an STM32 project and a Zephyr application alike.
26
+
27
+ Every command below uses `owner/example`, the library's GitHub owner and name, such as `nimaltd/ee24`. Put the real ones in its place.
28
+
29
+ ---
30
+
31
+ ## Installing a library
32
+
33
+ Install the installer once. This needs internet:
34
+
35
+ ```bash
36
+ pip install zephyr-installer
37
+ ```
38
+
39
+ Then, from your application's folder, the one holding `CMakeLists.txt` and `prj.conf`:
40
+
41
+ ```bash
42
+ zephyr-installer owner/example
43
+ ```
44
+
45
+ Then build as always:
46
+
47
+ ```bash
48
+ west build -b nrf52840dk/nrf52840
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ To update it later, `pip install --upgrade zephyr-installer`. To remove it, `pip uninstall zephyr-installer`.
52
+
53
+ On Windows, if `zephyr-installer` is not found after installing, pip put it in a folder that is not on your PATH. `python -m zephyr_installer owner/example` runs the same thing.
54
+
55
+ ### What happens
56
+
57
+ Take `example`, installed into an application called `app`:
58
+
59
+ ```
60
+ app/
61
+ CMakeLists.txt one block added, above find_package(Zephyr)
62
+ prj.conf one block added, CONFIG_EXAMPLE=y and what it needs
63
+ modules/example/
64
+ example.h the library's files, as its installer.yml lists them
65
+ example.c
66
+ zephyr/
67
+ module.yml written by the installer: the library as a Zephyr module
68
+ CMakeLists.txt its files, built when CONFIG_EXAMPLE is set
69
+ Kconfig CONFIG_EXAMPLE and the library's settings
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ The block in your `CMakeLists.txt` adds the library's folder to `ZEPHYR_EXTRA_MODULES`. That is how Zephyr is told about a module outside the west workspace, and it has to come before `find_package(Zephyr)`, which is when Zephyr looks:
73
+
74
+ ```cmake
75
+ cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20.0)
76
+
77
+ # >>> zephyr-installer: example >>>
78
+ # Added by zephyr-installer. Delete this block, and example's block in
79
+ # the Kconfig file, to drop the library from the build.
80
+ list(APPEND ZEPHYR_EXTRA_MODULES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/modules/example")
81
+ # <<< zephyr-installer: example <<<
82
+
83
+ find_package(Zephyr REQUIRED HINTS $ENV{ZEPHYR_BASE})
84
+ ```
85
+
86
+ The block in `prj.conf` switches the library on, with the symbols it needs and a list of its settings:
87
+
88
+ ```
89
+ # >>> zephyr-installer: example >>>
90
+ # Added by zephyr-installer, and written again on every install, so set
91
+ # example's settings below this block rather than in it.
92
+ # Its settings, as they are unless you set them:
93
+ # CONFIG_EXAMPLE_POLL_CHUNK=32
94
+ CONFIG_I2C=y
95
+ CONFIG_EXAMPLE=y
96
+ # <<< zephyr-installer: example <<<
97
+ ```
98
+
99
+ A symbol you already set yourself is not set again in the block, whatever value you gave it. `CONFIG_I2C=n` of yours stays `n`, and the installer says so before it writes anything, rather than quietly undoing your choice with a later line.
100
+
101
+ Both files are copied aside before they change, as `CMakeLists.txt.20261013-170013.bak` and the like, and the files keep their own line endings. Installing twice changes nothing the second time.
102
+
103
+ The module is called `example_lib`, not `example`. Zephyr keeps one module per name, and one added by the application quietly takes the place of a module of the same name in the workspace: a library called `littlefs` would otherwise replace Zephyr's own littlefs.
104
+
105
+ ### Settings
106
+
107
+ A library's settings are Kconfig symbols, set in `prj.conf` like any other, below the installer's block:
108
+
109
+ ```
110
+ CONFIG_EXAMPLE_POLL_CHUNK=64
111
+ ```
112
+
113
+ `west build -t menuconfig` shows them too, under the library's name. The C code reads them as `CONFIG_EXAMPLE_POLL_CHUNK`, which Zephyr gives every file of the build.
114
+
115
+ ### Which Kconfig file
116
+
117
+ `prj.conf` is the one most applications have. When yours has more, such as a board's own file in `boards/`, the installer asks once which one gets the libraries:
118
+
119
+ ```
120
+ This application has more than one Kconfig file: prj.conf, boards/nrf52840dk_nrf52840.conf
121
+ Kconfig file for the libraries [prj.conf]:
122
+ ```
123
+
124
+ Press Enter for `prj.conf`. `--conf boards/nrf52840dk_nrf52840.conf` answers it on the command line, and a file that does not exist yet is created. One answer covers every library of that run, a library it needs included. On an update, a library stays in the file that already has its block, without a question. In a script, where nobody can answer, `prj.conf` is taken.
125
+
126
+ ### What you see
127
+
128
+ A first install from GitHub, into an application whose `prj.conf` turned printk off:
129
+
130
+ ```
131
+ Fetching owner/example ...
132
+
133
+ example 1.2.0
134
+ Driver for the X chip
135
+ driver / storage
136
+
137
+ Requirements
138
+ note CONFIG_I2C=y goes into prj.conf
139
+ check prj.conf sets CONFIG_PRINTK=n, and example needs y
140
+ Your line is kept. Change it if the library is to work.
141
+ note Needs I2C, 400 kHz
142
+ Enable it in your board's devicetree, or in an overlay of the application.
143
+
144
+ Folder to install example into [modules/example]:
145
+
146
+ Files
147
+ written modules/example/example.h
148
+ written modules/example/example.c
149
+
150
+ Project
151
+ updated Zephyr module Wrote example_lib: zephyr/module.yml, zephyr/CMakeLists.txt, zephyr/Kconfig.
152
+ updated CMakeLists.txt Added example to CMakeLists.txt.
153
+ backup: CMakeLists.txt.20261013-170013.bak
154
+ updated prj.conf Added example to prj.conf.
155
+ backup: prj.conf.20261013-170014.bak
156
+
157
+ Done. #include "example.h" and you are away.
158
+ ```
159
+
160
+ The hardware a library uses is yours to give it in the devicetree, which the installer names but does not change.
161
+
162
+ ### What to install
163
+
164
+ The argument can be any of these, and you can give several at once:
165
+
166
+ | You have | You type |
167
+ |---|---|
168
+ | Nothing yet, and internet | `zephyr-installer owner/example` |
169
+ | The library's GitHub address | `zephyr-installer https://github.com/owner/example` |
170
+ | The zip from GitHub's **Download ZIP** | `zephyr-installer D:/Downloads/example-main.zip` |
171
+ | That zip unpacked, anywhere on disk | `zephyr-installer D:/Downloads/example-main` |
172
+ | The library's folder, already inside your application | `zephyr-installer modules/example` |
173
+
174
+ A bare name with no owner, like `example`, is a NimaLTD library, `nimaltd/example` on GitHub, unless a folder of that name exists where you run it, in which case the folder is used. A path that does not exist is reported as missing rather than looked up on GitHub.
175
+
176
+ ### Options
177
+
178
+ | Option | What it does |
179
+ |---|---|
180
+ | `--conf boards/x.conf` | The Kconfig file that switches the libraries on. Asked when the application has more than one, `prj.conf` otherwise. See [Which Kconfig file](#which-kconfig-file) |
181
+ | `--dir libs/example` | The folder of your application to install into, for one library. Asked for when not given, with `modules/<name>` as the answer if you just press Enter, or the folder it is already in |
182
+ | `--project D:/work/app` | Your application's folder, when you are not running from it |
183
+ | `--ref v2.0.0` | A tag, a branch or a commit to take from GitHub. When not given, `main`, or `master` for a repository that has no `main` |
184
+ | `--with littlefs` | Take this part of the library without being asked. Give it once for each part |
185
+ | `--without littlefs` | Leave this part out, or take it out of a library already installed |
186
+ | `--version` | Show which version of the installer you have, and do nothing else |
187
+
188
+ ### Updating a library
189
+
190
+ Run the same command again. Every file of the library is replaced, so an update updates, and the module's three files are written again from the new `installer.yml`, so a source file the new version adds is built without you editing anything. A file that did not change is left alone, so the build does not configure again for nothing.
191
+
192
+ What you wrote between `USER CODE BEGIN` and `USER CODE END` in a library's file is kept. Outside those lines, the next install replaces it, and when that would lose something of yours the file is saved beside it first, as a `.bak`.
193
+
194
+ The record of what is installed, and where, is `.zephyr-installer.json` in your application's folder. Keep it in version control with the rest.
195
+
196
+ ### A library that needs another
197
+
198
+ You install only the one you want, and what it needs goes in first, each as a module of its own with its own blocks. One already in the application at a version that will do is left alone. Everything is fetched before anything is installed, so when a library cannot be had, your application is left as it was.
199
+
200
+ ### Without internet
201
+
202
+ On a machine that has internet, `pip download zephyr-installer` saves one file, the installer, which needs nothing else. Download the library too, from the green **Code** button, **Download ZIP**. Then, on the machine with no internet:
203
+
204
+ ```bash
205
+ pip install zephyr_installer-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
206
+ zephyr-installer D:/Downloads/example-main.zip
207
+ ```
208
+
209
+ If the library needs another, give that zip on the same line. A private repository installs by name with a GitHub token that can read it in `GITHUB_TOKEN`, and a proxy is taken from `HTTPS_PROXY`.
210
+

212
+
213
+ ## For someone writing a library
214
+
215
+ Put an `installer.yml` at the root of the repository. Any library can have one, whoever wrote it, and the one file serves both zephyr-installer and stm32-installer: each reads its own keys and leaves the other's alone.
216
+
217
+ Every key zephyr-installer reads is below, each with what it does. Only `name` and `files` are required; leave out what your library does not need.
218
+
219
+ ```yaml
220
+ name: example # the library's name, its folder and its Kconfig symbol

285
+ ```
286
+
287
+ Keys only stm32-installer reads, such as `requires.installer`, `requires.hal_modules` and `requires.rtos`, can stay in the same file. This installer skips them.
288
+
289
+ Leave `version` out. The installer reads the version from the `@version` tag in the file comment of the first header listed, so it is written in the code and nowhere else.
290
+
291
+ `requires.zephyr_installer` is the oldest zephyr-installer that reads the file correctly. It is checked before anything else in the file is read, so an older installer stops with a message saying to update, rather than read the file wrongly. Write it as three numbers, `1.0.0`: unquoted, YAML reads `1.10` as the decimal number `1.1`, and that is refused.
292
+
293
+ ### Settings in the code
294
+
295
+ Zephyr hands every file of the build its configuration, so the library's code reads a setting as a macro. One header can serve Zephyr and any other project, taking the setting from Kconfig when it is there:
296
+
297
+ ```c
298
+ #ifdef CONFIG_EXAMPLE_POLL_CHUNK
299
+ #define EXAMPLE_POLL_CHUNK CONFIG_EXAMPLE_POLL_CHUNK
300
+ #endif
301
+
302
+ #ifndef EXAMPLE_POLL_CHUNK
303
+ #define EXAMPLE_POLL_CHUNK 32U
304
+ #endif
305
+ ```
306
+
307
+ A `bool` setting that is off is not defined at all, which is how Kconfig does it, so test it with `#ifdef` or `IS_ENABLED()`. A `string` arrives in quotes, ready for C.
308
+
309
+ Each setting is checked at install, since all of it is written into a Kconfig file: a default of the wrong type, one outside its range, or a name Kconfig would refuse stops the install with the reason, before anything is written.
310
+
311
+ ### A library with its own module
312
+
313
+ A library that ships a `zephyr/module.yml` of its own, listed under `extras` or `files` so it is installed, knows its build better than the installer does. Its module is used as it is: nothing is written into its `zephyr` folder, and only the two blocks in the application are added. `zephyr.kconfig` then names the symbol its Kconfig defines, for the block in `prj.conf` to set.
314

317
+ ## Running the tests
318
+
319
+ The shared core, [core-installer](https://github.com/nimaltd/core-installer), is a git submodule in `src/core`, so clone with it:
320
+
321
+ ```bash
322
+ git clone --recursive https://github.com/nimaltd/zephyr-installer.git
323
+ ```
324
+
325
+ In a clone made without `--recursive`, `git submodule update --init` fetches it. Then:
326
+
327
+ ```bash
328
+ python test/run_tests.py
329
+ ```
330
+
331
+ CI also installs a small library from `test/e2e/` into an application, builds it with Zephyr for `native_sim`, runs it, and checks what it prints, so every release is known to build with real Zephyr.
332
+

335
+ ## Support
336
+
337
+ I write these tools and libraries in my own time and give them away, because good tools should be easy to get. If this one saved you an afternoon, there are two things that genuinely help:
338
+
339
+ **Star the repo.** It costs you one click, it helps other engineers find the tool, and it is the main reason I keep going.
340
+
341
+ **[Buy me a coffee on Ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/nimaltd).** Any amount is a real motivation to keep writing, documenting and maintaining this work.
