doc: overhaul getting_started
The getting started documentation has become a bit of a mess over
time:
- The reader needs to jump forward and backward in the documents
depending on what their system already has installed (e.g. "start by
cloning Zephyr, oh wait, see below if you don't have Git yet" etc.).
- The operating system setup guides, toolchain setup instructions, and
application build and run information have each become their own
balkanized fiefdom, with duplicated, confusing and sometimes
inconsistent results.
- Linux documentation for all distributions is incomplete in some
places (the Arch documentation in particular is vestigial)
and wrong in others (platforms like Ubuntu still nominally require
tools, like autoconf, that haven't been necessary since we stopped
using the C Kconfig tools)
- The dependencies needed to build the documentation have
gotten *huge* since the LaTeX additions and massively overstate the
footprint of Zephyr's real dependencies. This is particularly a
problem on Linux, where those dependencies were not clearly
separated from those needed to build Zephyr.
- The toolchain setup documentation is confusing and scattered across
the main file and the platform-specific files. There are various
bits of incomplete and/or incorrect information. For example, the
docs imply that you can use the Zephyr SDK on non-Linux hosts, which
isn't true. As another example, some toolchains, such as GNU Arm
Embedded, are documented several times. As a final example, some
toolchains, such as Intel's ISSM, are squirrelled away in the
Windows document when there are Linux builds available.
Overhaul the pages to fix these issues and otherwise clean up the
language. One significant side-effect is that all the
toolchain-related information is rooted in a single toctree. Another
is that it should now be possible to follow the instructions, in
order, on any supported platform.

If you are running a recent version of Windows 10 you can make use of the
|
|
|
|
|
built-in functionality to natively run Ubuntu binaries directly on a standard
|
|
|
|
|
command-prompt. This allows you to use software such as the :ref:`Zephyr SDK
|
|
|
|
|
<zephyr_sdk>` without setting up a virtual machine.

.. warning::

Windows 10 version 1803 has an issue that will cause CMake to not work
|
|
|
|
|
properly and is fixed in version 1809 (and later).

For the Zephyr SDK to function properly you will need Windows 10
|
|
|
|
|
build 15002 or greater. You can check which Windows 10 build you are
|
|
|
|
|
running in the "About your PC" section of the System Settings.
|
|
|
|
|
If you are running an older Windows 10 build you might need to install
|
|
|
|
|
the Creator's Update.
