Example: Mboot on PYBv1.x
-------------------------
By default mboot is not used on PYBv1.x, but full mboot configuration is provided
for these boards to demonstrate how it works and for testing. To build and
deploy mboot on these pyboards the only difference from the normal build process
is to pass `USE_MBOOT=1` to make, so that the mboot configuration is used instead
of the non-mboot configuration.
In detail for PYBv1.0 (for PYBv1.1 use PYBV11 instead of PYBV10):
1. Make sure the pyboard is in factory DFU mode (power up with BOOT0 connected to
3V3), then build mboot and deploy it (from the stm32/mboot/ directory):
$ make BOARD=PYBV10 USE_MBOOT=1 clean all deploy
This will put mboot on the pyboard.
2. Now put the pyboard in mboot mode by holding down USR, pressing RST, and
continue to hold down USR until the blue LED is lit (the 4th option in the
cycle) and then release USR. The red LED will blink once per second to
indicate that it's in mboot. Then build the MicroPython firmware and deploy
it (from the stm32/ directory):
$ make BOARD=PYBV10 USE_MBOOT=1 clean all deploy
MicroPython will now be on the device and should boot straightaway.
On PYBv1.x without mboot the flash layout is as follows:
0x08000000 0x08004000 0x08020000
| ISR text | filesystem | rest of MicroPython firmware
On PYBv1.x with mboot the flash layout is as follows:
0x08000000 0x08004000 0x08020000
| mboot | filesystem | ISR and full MicroPython firmware
Note that the filesystem remains intact when going to/from an mboot configuration
so its contents will be preserved.
