The **Pinetime** smartwatch is built around the NRF52832 MCU (512KB Flash, 64KB RAM), a 240*240 LCD display driven by the ST7789 controller, an accelerometer, a heartrate sensor and a vibrator.

- Fast and optimized LCD driver
- BLE communication
- Rich user interface via display, touch panel and push button
- Time synchronisation via BLE
- Time synchronization via BLE
- Notification via BLE
- Multiple 'apps':
* Clock (displays the date, time, battery level, ble connection status, heart rate and step count)
* Heart rate
* Motion
* System info (displays various info: BLE MAC, build date/time, uptime, version, ...)
* Brightess (allows the user to configure the brightness of the display)
- Supported by 2 companion apps (developpments ongoing):

This project is far from being finished, and there are still a lot of things to do for this project to become a firmware usable by the general public.
Here a quick list out of my head of things to do for this project:
- Improve BLE communication stability and reliability
- Improve OTA and MCUBoot bootloader
- Add more functionalities : Alarm, chrono, configuration, activities, heart rate logging, games,...
- Add more functionalities : Alarm, chronometer, configuration, activities, heart rate logging, games,...
- Add more BLE functionalities : call notifications, agenda, configuration, data logging,...
- Measure power consumption and improve battery life
- Improve documentation, take better pictures and video than mine
- Improve the UI
- Create companion app for multiple OSes (Linux, Android, IoS) and platforms (desktop, ARM, mobile). Do not forget the other devices from Pine64 like [the Pinephone](https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/) and the [Pinebook Pro](https://www.pine64.org/pinebook-pro/).
- Design a simple CI (preferably selfhosted and easy to reproduce).

- [Atc1441](https://github.com/atc1441/) : He works on an Arduino based firmware for the Pinetime and many other smartwatches based on similar hardware. He was of great help when I was implementing support for the BMA421 motion sensor and I²C driver.
- [Koen](https://github.com/bosmoment) : He’s working on a firmware based on RiotOS. He integrated similar libs than me : NimBLE, LittleVGL,… His help was invaluable too!

The schematic of your board (the Pinetime schematics in this case) will also be very important, as you'll need to know how the LCD controller is physically connected to the MCU.
How to read the datasheet? I recommand to read it from the beginning to the end (no joke) at least once. You certainly do not need to read everything in details, but it's good to know what information is available and where in the document. It'll be very useful during the developpment phase.

You'll want to read some part with more attention :
- Data color coding in 4-Line Serial Interface : how to send the pixel to be display to the controller
- Display Data Ram : how is the memory organised
- Display Data Ram : how is the memory organized
- Power On/Off sequence
- System function commands : all the commands you can send to the controller.
