    * {{:orb:screen_shot_2016-09-19_at_02.13.49.png?300|}}

  * Download and install **version 6.1.3.00034 ** of [[http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS |Code Composer Studio 6 ]]
    * During installation, select "MSP Ultra Low Power MCUs" and "32-bit ARM MCUs"
    * Make sure to add "GCC ARM Compiler" for both (not checked by default!)
  * Download and install **version 2.16.00.08** of TI-RTOS for MSP43x for your operating system [[http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/tirtos/index.html|here]]
  * Download and install [[https://git-scm.com/downloads | Git]]
  * Clone [[https://github.com/Octanis1/Octanis1-Mainboard-Firmware_MSP_EXP432P401RLP |repository]] and its submodules :
<code>git clone https://github.com/Octanis1/Octanis1-Mainboard-Firmware_MSP_EXP432P401RLP.git
cd Octanis1-Mainboard-Firmware_MSP_EXP432P401RLP
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive
</code>
  * Import project in CCStudio
  * Before building it, follow [[orb:programming#driverlibh_is_not_existingfound|these steps]] and adapt path to driverlib.

===== Use of APM planner =====
==== Mainboard/Rover connected via Launchpad/Serial ====
This option is plug-and-play. Connect the MSP432 launchpad with the launchpad via the 8-pin DIN connector

Open APM planner. If not done already, check File->Advanced mode. Click Communication -> Add Link -> Serial and configure the settings as below (Your serial port may have a different name, just try all of them if you're not sure). Click on Connect.

APM planner should now receive [[http://qgroundcontrol.org/mavlink/start|Mavlink Messages]] from the mainboard. Play with the menu items to visualize them (Tool Widgets -> Mavlink Inspector  and  Primary Flight Display are a good start)


==== Rover connected via Ethernet ====

To be able to communicate via Ethernet, your computer must be setup to have a static IP address on its Ethernet port (or on the USB-Ethernet adapter).
  * IP Address: 192.168.2.1
  * Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  * (leave other parameters blank)

Once connected via Ethernet, you will be able to use APM planner. Please note that the **Rover has the static IP 192.168.2.19** and the **Field Station has 192.168.2.18**.

The Octanis build of APM planner has a switch in the upper right corner. This switch allows the operator to toggle the sending of commands to either Field Station (Net+Radio) or to the Rover (Net), which is important to note when sending waypoints.
