RIOT Applications

This repository provides more applications for the RIOT operating system. Some of them are just useful tools for development work, others showcase more extensive implementations of features of RIOT compared to the rather simple examples in the RIOT main codebase.

Usage

To build and use them follow the instructions in the RIOT repository and the READMEs within the respective application directory.

The RIOT main code is included as a submodule. This always points to the latest release. To change the RIOT version to build against (e.g. current master), clone the RIOT repository in a separate repository and point the RIOTBASE environment variable there:

# assuming you are in the working directory of your local clone of this repo
cd ..
git clone git@github.com:RIOT-OS/RIOT.git
cd applications
RIOTBASE="../RIOT" BOARD=samr21-xpro make -C sniffer flash

Alternatively you can use RIOT as a submodule. To initialize the submodule, from the root of the repository run:

git submodule update --init --recursive

If you want to use master then simply step into the submodule and checkout master or any other desired branch.

cd RIOT
git checkout master
git pull

Note that there is no guarantee that it will build or work, since we only test this repository against the latest release.
