CircuitPython port to Spresense
|
|
|
|
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the port of CircuitPython to Spresense. It is a compact
|
|
|
|
|
|
development board based on Sony’s power-efficient multicore microcontroller
|
|
|
|
|
|
CXD5602.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Board features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Integrated GPS
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The embedded GNSS with support for GPS, QZSS and GLONASS enables applications
|
|
|
|
|
|
where tracking is required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Hi-res audio output and multi mic inputs
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Advanced 192kHz/24 bit audio codec and amplifier for audio output, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
support for up to 8 mic input channels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Multicore microcontroller
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Spresense is powered by Sony's CXD5602 microcontroller (ARM® Cortex®-M4F × 6
|
|
|
|
|
|
cores), with a clock speed of 156 MHz.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, Spresense port does not support GNSS, Audio and Multicore.

|
|
|
|
Build the MicroPython cross-compiler:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make -C mpy-cross
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build circuitpython image run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-10-11 02:54:36 -04:00
|
|
|
|
$ make BOARD=spresense

|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add user to `dialout` group:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ sudo usermod -a -G dialout <user-name>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Connect the Spresense main board to the PC via the USB cable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flash the bootloader
|
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The correct bootloader is required for the Spresense board to function.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bootloader information:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The bootloader has to be flashed the very first time the board is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* You have to accept the End User License Agreement to be able to download and use the Spresense bootloader binary.
|
|
|
