IPRO Workbench

The development environment for INTELPRO IPRO7, IPRO7AI and IPRO6S, built on Eclipse Theia. One desktop app sets up the SDK and tools, creates and builds applications, flashes the board and shows its serial console.

System	0.1.1 (Preview)
macOS, Apple silicon, macOS 12 or later	IPRO-Workbench-0.1.1-mac-arm64.dmg (199 MB)
Windows 11, x64	IPRO-Workbench-0.1.1-win-x64.exe (160 MB)
Linux	not available yet

Operation manual, every feature step by step: English (73 pages, 10.8 MB) · Traditional Chinese (67 pages, 11.0 MB).

0.1.1 is a preview: the installers are not signed by Apple or Microsoft, so the first start needs one extra step (below).

What it does

• Setup: checks the IPRO SDK, RISC-V toolchain, CMake / Ninja / Python, IntelProCube and OpenOCD, and installs what is missing from INTELPRO's GitHub releases with one button.
• Applications: lists the SDK's applications, creates new ones from templates, and builds, flashes and monitors with one command.
• Board tools: serial monitor with filter, timestamps, log and plotter; Kconfig settings editor; pin configurator; partition table; memory map and size budget; crash decoding; register reference.
• Tests and measurement: runs the SDK's on-board tests, flashes AI models, BLE DTM RF tests, power measurement with a Nordic PPK2.
• AI: an MCP server, so AI coding assistants can build, flash and read test results through the IDE.

Install on macOS

1. Download the DMG and check it. In Terminal:

   curl -LO https://github.com/INTELPRO-INC/ipro-workbench/releases/download/v0.1.1/IPRO-Workbench-0.1.1-mac-arm64.dmg
   shasum -a 256 IPRO-Workbench-0.1.1-mac-arm64.dmg

   You should see fb6980af59e4021ebd7357d3da1721a1490e2cec7446a98425b6c9ba0e25959e.

2. Copy the app to Applications and start it:

   hdiutil attach IPRO-Workbench-0.1.1-mac-arm64.dmg
   cp -R "/Volumes/IPRO Workbench 0.1.1-arm64/IPRO Workbench.app" /Applications/
   hdiutil detach "/Volumes/IPRO Workbench 0.1.1-arm64"
   open "/Applications/IPRO Workbench.app"

   You should see the IPRO Workbench window with IPRO Home in the middle and the IPRO side bar (Applications, Board, Environment) on the left.

If you downloaded the DMG with a browser and dragged the app to Applications instead, macOS says it cannot check the app the first time. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, find IPRO Workbench and click Open Anyway, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/IPRO Workbench.app" once.

Install on Windows

1. Download the installer and check it. In PowerShell, in the download folder:

   (Get-FileHash .\IPRO-Workbench-0.1.1-win-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256).Hash

   You should see E057FB56C15CB68CDFEB8C60B0CFECD7F5BD82860573003AD2D94788A34AA74C.

2. Run IPRO-Workbench-0.1.1-win-x64.exe. When Windows SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. Pick the folder and finish the installer.

3. Start IPRO Workbench from the Start menu.

   You should see the IPRO Workbench window with IPRO Home in the middle and the IPRO side bar on the left.

To install without the wizard, run .\IPRO-Workbench-0.1.1-win-x64.exe /S /D=C:\IPRO\Workbench.

First run

1. Set up the tools. When something is missing, the banner at the top of IPRO Home says Finish the setup. Click Fix Environment.

   You should see the IPRO Setup output download and install each tool into IPRO/tools in your home folder. When it is done, every row of the Environment view has a green check. A toolchain or IntelProCube you already have can be used instead: click Use one already on this computer… on its row.

2. Open the SDK. On IPRO Home, click Open SDK… and choose an IPRO SDK folder, or click Install SDK from GitHub….

   You should see the SDK's applications in the Applications view, grouped by category.

3. Connect the board. Plug the IPRO Debug Probe into the computer and the board.

   You should see the probe and its UART and CCI ports in the Board view.

4. Build, flash and monitor. Select ipro_unit_test in Applications and click Build, Flash and Monitor (⌘⌥R on macOS, Ctrl+Alt+R on Windows).

   You should see the build in the IPRO Build output, ending with the flash and RAM usage, [All Success] in IPRO Flash, and ALL TESTS PASSED in the IPRO Monitor terminal.

The interface follows the system language (English or Traditional Chinese). To change it, open the command palette (⇧⌘P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run Configure Display Language.

Known limitations in 0.1.1

• Not signed by Apple (not notarized) or Microsoft; see the install steps for the first start.
• JTAG debugging is not ready yet.
• Automatic updates are off (updates.checkForUpdates); install new versions from this page.
• IPRO6 boards print no build stamp or partition table at boot, so the board view cannot tell which firmware runs and the partition table is not compared with the board's.
• Wi-Fi Throughput (iperf): the board's network name and password cannot contain spaces, and the board echoes the password in the monitor. When the board sends to a Windows PC, the firewall must allow incoming TCP port 5001.

Updates

Each version is a release of this repository. The release also carries latest-mac.yml, latest.yml and the blockmap files that the built-in updater reads; you do not need to download them.

繁體中文

IPRO Workbench 是 INTELPRO IPRO7、IPRO7AI、IPRO6S 的開發環境，以 Eclipse Theia 為基礎：補齊 SDK 與工具、 建立與建置應用程式、燒錄開發板、看序列埠輸出，都在同一個桌面程式裡。0.1.1 是預覽版，提供 macOS（Apple silicon，macOS 12 以上）與 Windows 11 x64；Linux 版尚未提供。

安裝時照上面各系統的步驟：下載、核對 SHA-256、安裝。安裝檔沒有 Apple 或 Microsoft 簽章：macOS 用瀏覽器下載時， 第一次開啟要到「系統設定 → 隱私權與安全性」按「仍要打開」；Windows 的 SmartScreen 按「其他資訊 → 仍要執行」。 第一次使用：按首頁的「補齊環境」安裝工具，「開啟 SDK…」或「從 GitHub 安裝 SDK…」，接上除錯探棒與開發板， 選 ipro_unit_test 按「建置、燒錄並監看」。介面跟著系統語言，系統是繁體中文時就是中文介面。每項功能的逐步操作見操作手冊（PDF）。
