 ===== Compiling the copter code =====
@@ Line 36: / Line 68: @@
 The Crazyflie project is based on a Makefile. A couple of target are useful:
 <code bash>
-$ make         # Make copter firmware
+crazyflie-fimrware$ make         # Make copter firmware
-$ make V=1     # Make copter firmware and shows the full compilation commands
+crazyflie-fimrware$ make V=1     # Make copter firmware and shows the full compilation commands
-$ make CLOAD=1 # make copter firmware to be used with the bootloader
+crazyflie-fimrware$ make CLOAD=1 # Make copter firmware to be used with the bootloader
-$ make flash   # Flash firmware using openOCD and the jtagKey
+crazyflie-fimrware$ make clean && make USE_ESKYLINK=1 CLOAD=1 all # Make copter firmware to be used with the bootloader, CF controlled with eSky ET6i transmitter
-$ make reset   # Reset the copter using openOCD
+crazyflie-fimrware$ make cload   # Flash the firmware using the radio bootloader
-$ make openocd # Launch openOCD and connect it to the copter (can then be used via the telnet interface and/or GDB)
+crazyflie-fimrware$ make flash   # Flash firmware using openOCD and the jtagKey
+crazyflie-fimrware$ make reset   # Reset the copter using openOCD
+crazyflie-fimrware$ make openocd # Launch openOCD and connect it to the copter (can then be used via the telnet interface and/or GDB)
 </code>
-It must be noted that the openOCD targets do not make the copter code, hence the compilation must be called first with ''make'' and then ''make flash'' can be called.
+A couple of variables can be set on the command line or shell environment to configure the build process:
+^  Variable ^  Default value  ^ Usage ^
+|  CLOAD |      1        | If at 1 the firmware is liked to be used with the bootloader.            |
+|  DEBUG |      0        | If at 1 the firmware will be build without optimization and with debug symbol (the firmware is ~70K in debug mode and ~40K optimized). |
+|  CROSS_COMPILE |   arm-none-eabi-   | Prefix of the cross compilation toolchain to use. Any bare arm GCC should do. The default value is good for the CodeSourcery toolchain. |
+|  OPENOCD_INTERFACE |   interface/jtagkey.cfg   | JTAG interface configuration file to use with openOCD. Default is for the Amontec JtagKEY. |
+|  V |      0        | Verbose mode. If V=1 the compilers command lines will be displayed. If V=0 only the tool type and target file are displayed. |
+|  PYTHON2 |  python  | Name of the Python 2.7 interpreter |
+|  USE_ESKYLINK|  0  | If at 1 the firmware is compiled to use with the eSky ET6i transmitter. |
+It is possible to create a file //config.mk// to set these variables in a more permanent manner, this file is imported at the beginning of Makefile.
+The openOCD targets do not make the copter code, hence the compilation must be called first with ''make'' and then ''make flash'' can be called.
+It is possible to flash with openOCD/jtag a bootloader version of the copter as long as the bootloader is present at the beginning of the flash. However this could interfere with GDB.
+It is also possible to work with the copter code from within Eclipse.
+===== Compiling and flashing the bootloader =====
+The copter can be loaded with a radio bootloader contained in the crazyloader folder. The dev environment is very similar to the copter one:
+<code bash>
+crazyflie-bootloader$ make       # Make the bootoader
+crazyflie-bootloader$ make flash # Flash the bootloader with openOCD
