 I also wanted to test this W800 SOC more deeply and see what it could do and I think it is a perfect fit for the project.

 ## A Smart Watch project using the Chinese W800 SOC.

+## Getting started :
+### So, you'd like to try this project yourself ?
+### Here are the steps to follow, in order to build the firmware and flash the board :
+#### On Windows :
+1) Start by cloning this repository.  
+**Put it in a path that doesn't contain any spaces** ie : "C:\Users\Bob\Desktop\projects" for example.
+2) Once cloning is done, you will need to install the [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) tool/environment. This tool is needed to compile the project using **Make**.
+3) Open a terminal by clicking on the **MSYS2** icon and execute the following commands to prepare the environment :  
+    1) Update packages :  
+    ```bash
+    pacman -Syu
+    ```
+    2) Install make :  
+    ```bash
+    pacman -S msys/make
+    ```
+    3) Install automake :  
+    ```bash
+    pacman -S msys/automake
+    ```
+    4) Install autoconf :  
+    ```bash
+    pacman -S msys/autoconf
+    ```
+    5) Install gcc :  
+    ```bash
+    pacman -S msys/gcc
+    ```
+    6) Install git :  
+    ```bash
+    pacman -S msys/git
+    ```
+    7) Install utils needed for menuconfig :  
+    ```bash
+    pacman -S msys/ncurses-devel
+    pacman -S msys/gettext-devel
+    ```
+4) You now, need to download the toolchain required to compile and link the app [here](http://82.157.145.101/download/toolkits/winnermicro/w806/csky-elfabiv2-tools-mingw-minilibc-20210423.tar.gz) and extract it somewhere you remember on your hardrive.
+5) Now, go back to the MSYS terminal window and move to the **src/W800_SDK_v1.00.10/** directory which is located in the cloned repository, using the **cd** command.
+6) Then, execute the **make menuconfig** command, this should greet you with a crude configuration window.  
+Move to the **Toolchain Configuration -->** option using the arrows and hit enter.  
+Using the same controls, move to the **toolchain path** and **set the location** to where you extracted the toolchain in step 4.
+7) To be able to flash the board, you will also need to set the used com port in the **Download Configuration --->** option.  
+**TIPS : set the download rate to : 2000000**, this should speed up the flashing process.
+8) Now save your configuration and exit.
+9) Finally, type : 
+```bash
+#This will remove all builded object to start from a clean environment (Needed only once)
+make distclean
+
+#This will only compile the library part of the firmware
+make lib
+
+#This will compile the actual firmware using the libraries and produce the .bin file
+make 
+
+#This will flash the board using the previously generated .bin file
+make down
+
+#This will do both previous commands in one (build and flash)
+make flash
+```
