Getting Started

These instructions are macOS centric right now, but the Mbed toolchain will work on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Improvments to these instructions are welcome.

Install the arm-eabi-none toolchain

brew tap PX4/homebrew-px4
brew install PX4/homebrew-px4/gcc-arm-none-eabi-63

Optionally, install nrfjprog

brew cask install nordic-nrf-command-line-tools

Checkout all submodules git submodule update --init --recursive.

Install all the Python packages required for Mbed. Your options are:

  • Install from the Pipfile. pipenv install
  • Install from Mbed requirements.txt pip install -r modules/mbed-os/requirements.txt

To use the Makefiles, you must set the environment variable MBED_PINETIME_PATH to the root of the repository. If anyone has ideas on how to not need this or otherwise improve the build system, let me know.

Development Notes

  • BMA421 Accelerometer
  • [-] HRS3300 Heart Rate Sensor
  • Hynitron CST816S Touch Pad
  • [-] Sitronix ST7789V LCD Driver
  • Macronix SPI Flash
  • Vibrator
  • LED backlight
  • ADC Battery Voltage Sense
  • Physical button

I2C

00> 0x15 Touchpad

  • Only responds after a touch event.
  • At 100khz, Limit of read from register 0x00 after a touch event is 190-195ish bytes. This is probably due to the chip going back to sleep.

00> 0x18 ACK Accelerometer

  • BMA421 -- Not a public avalible chip, therefore no publicly availible drivers.
  • Similar to BMA423
  • Seems to require binary blob on startup (chip firmware?)

00> 0x44 ACK HALS3300 Heart Rate Sensor

  • Datasheet is OK
  • Resolution was set to 16bits 0x08
  • Gain was set to 1 0x02

SPI

Flash:

  • SPI flash is now working with Mbed SPIF driver
  • Needed to be "reset" by letting the battery die
  • 4194304 bytes

Display:

I can't get the physical button to work for the life of me. Someone please help 😂
