Note: the tutorial is tested on Linux machine.

The Ruuvi firmware projects are analyzed by PVS Studio, a static code analyzer. It has to be installed and a trial/full license key has to be entered. You can get an Open Source license for projects hosted on GitHub.

Download the PVS Studio from project webpage: https://pvs-studio.com/en/pvs-studio-download/ On the same webpage, you can get the trial key.

After the installation process, you can add the trial license key previously received via email:

$pvs-studio-analyzer credentials NAME XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Now when you compile with make you'll get the confirmation for successful PVS Studio analysis:
