Port of MicroPython to Microchip SAMD MCUs
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
Supports SAMD21 and SAMD51. For each supported device there is a
|
|
subdirectory in the `boards/` directory.
|
|
|
|
The entry point for the specific port documentation is at
|
|
https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/samd/quickref.html, which also
|
|
shows the assignment of IO-Functions to pins. The generic MicroPython
|
|
documentation applies for anything not specific for the SAM port.
|
|
|
|
Due to the different flash sizes of SAMD21 and SAMD51 devices, the
|
|
coverage of MicroPython modules differ. Use help("modules") to tell,
|
|
which MicroPython modules are provided.
|
|
|
|
Build instructions
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Before building the firmware for a given board the MicroPython cross-compiler
|
|
must be built; it will be used to pre-compile some of the built-in scripts to
|
|
bytecode. The cross-compiler is built and run on the host machine, using:
|
|
|
|
$ make -C mpy-cross
|
|
|
|
This command should be executed from the root directory of this repository.
|
|
All other commands below should be executed from the ports/stm32/ directory.
|
|
|
|
An ARM compiler is required for the build, along with the associated binary
|
|
utilities. The default compiler is `arm-none-eabi-gcc`, which is available for
|
|
Arch Linux via the package `arm-none-eabi-gcc`, for Ubuntu via instructions
|
|
[here](https://launchpad.net/~team-gcc-arm-embedded/+archive/ubuntu/ppa), or
|
|
see [here](https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded) for the main GCC ARM
|
|
Embedded page. The compiler can be changed using the `CROSS_COMPILE` variable
|
|
when invoking `make`.
|
|
|
|
Next, the board to build must be selected. There is no default board. Any
|
|
of the names of the subdirectories in the `boards/` directory is a valid board.
|
|
The board name must be passed as the argument to `BOARD=` when invoking `make`.
|
|
|
|
All boards require certain submodules to be obtained before they can be built.
|
|
The correct set of submodules can be initialised using (with
|
|
`ADAFRUIT_ITSYBITSY_M4_EXPRESS` as an example of the selected board):
|
|
|
|
$ make BOARD=ADAFRUIT_ITSYBITSY_M4_EXPRESS submodules
|
|
|
|
Then to build the board's firmware run:
|
|
|
|
$ make BOARD=ADAFRUIT_ITSYBITSY_M4_EXPRESS clean
|
|
$ make BOARD=ADAFRUIT_ITSYBITSY_M4_EXPRESS
|
|
|
|
The above command produces binary images in the
|
|
`build-ADAFRUIT_ITSYBITSY_M4_EXPRESS/` subdirectory (or the equivalent
|
|
directory for the board specified).
|
|
|
|
### Flashing the Firmware
|
|
|
|
Most SAMD21 and SAMD51 boards have a built in firmware loader. To start it, push
|
|
the reset button of the boards twice. The speed varies a little bit. If the
|
|
firmware loader starts, a drive will appear in the file manager of your PC.
|
|
Copy the created `firmware.uf2` file to that drive. If the upload is finished, the
|
|
drive will disappear and the board will reboot.
