update_pocket

update_pocket is cross-platform script to update your Analogue Pocket firmware, openFPGA cores, and any required dependencies.

Requirements

• Python 3
• requests, beautifulsoup4 python modules

macOS and Linux users

1. Download this repo and unzip it onto the root of your pocket sd card
2. Run update_pocket.sh, it will update the updater (!) and install required dependencies

Windows users

1. Install python (can be done from Microsoft Store or here)
2. Open Command Prompt or Powershell and enter python -m pip install requests beautifulsoup4
3. Download this repo and unzip it onto the root of your pocket sd card
4. Run updater.py

What's the point of update_pocket.sh?

update_pocket.sh is a convenience wrapper for macOS and Linux users that makes sure we have the right dependencies and that latest version of the updater. It is not strictly necessary, feel free to run updater.py directly. Ideally in the future there's an update_pocket.bat for Windows as well.

How can I add a new core?

Just open repo.json and add your repository name, then submit a PR. Make sure you publish a zipped release so that we can find it!
