build-and-ota

Use this skill for the normal firmware build/deploy loop when developing or validating camera changes.

When to use

• You need a standard local build for a specific camera profile.
• You need to deploy to a running camera over the network.
• You want clear guidance on safe OTA target selection.

Workflow

1. Select camera profile and run build:
   • CAMERA=<camera_defconfig> make
   • Fast incremental: CAMERA=<camera_defconfig> make fast
2. For package-only iteration:
   • CAMERA=<camera_defconfig> make rebuild-<package>
3. Deploy over OTA:
   • Full image including bootloader: CAMERA=<camera_defconfig> IP=<camera_ip> make ota
4. Use debug-oriented serial build only when needed:
   • CAMERA=<camera_defconfig> make dev

Notes

• ota flashes the full firmware image, including bootloader. Keep power stable and network reliable during flashing.
• If build errors are noisy, make dev is easier to read than parallel output.
