# PineTime
|
|
> The PineTime is a free and open source smartwatch capable of running custom-built open operating systems. Some of the notable features include a heart rate monitor, a week-long battery as well as a capacitive touch IPS display that is legible in direct sunlight. It is a fully community driven side-project, which means that it will ultimately be up to the developers and end-users to determine when they deem the PineTime ready to ship.
|
|
> We envision the PineTime as a companion for not only your PinePhone but also for your favorite devices — any phone, tablet, or even PC.

|
|
The goal of this project is to build a firmware designed for the PineTime around FreeRTOS.
|
|
It's coded using a mix of C and C++ : the NRF52-SDK and FreeRTOS are written in C, but I prefer to write my own code in C++.
|
|
|
|
Please **NOTE : for now, this project is in heavy development state**. Feel free to use it, contribute to it or fork it !
|
|
|
|
This project is based on https://github.com/JF002/nrf52-baseproject.
|
|
It's a CMake project that configure everything needed to build applications for the PineTime (https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PineTime).
|
|
|
|
I tested this project (compile only) with the following versions:
|
|
|
|
* gcc-arm-none-eabi-8-2019-q3-update (from https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads)
|
|
* nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345 (from https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Software/nRF5-SDK)
|
|
|
|
I've tested this project on the actual PineTime hardware.
|
|
|
|
## Current state
|
|
|
|
* Project builds and runs on the Pinetime;
|
|
* Logs available via JLink RTT;
|
|
* Basic LCD driver.
|
|
|
|
## How to use it
|
|
|
|
* Download and unzip arm-none-eabi and NRF52 SDK
|
|
* Clone this repo
|
|
* Call CMake with the following command line argument
|
|
|
|
- -DARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=[Path to the toolchain]
|
|
- -DNRF5_SDK_PATH=[Path to the SDK]
|
|
- -DNRFJPROG=[Path to NRFJProg]
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DARM_NONE_EABI_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=... -DNRF5_SDK_PATH=... -DNRFJPROG=... ../
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Make
|
|
```
|
|
$ make -j
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## RTT
|
|
|
|
RTT is a feature from Segger's JLink devices that allows bidirectionnal communication between the debugger and the target.
|
|
This feature can be used to get the logs from the embedded software on the development computer.
|
|
|
|
* Program the MCU with the code (see above)
|
|
* Start JLinkExe
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ JLinkExe -device nrf52 -if swd -speed 4000 -autoconnect 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Start JLinkRTTClient
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ JLinkRTTClient
|
|
``` |
