There are many problem reports caused by people picking up somewhat old compilers (gcc-6.3.1 seems especially common) from their distro.

Watch Application System in Python
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Currently in its infancy wasp-os provides nothing more than a simple
|
|
digital clock application for PineTime together with access to the
|
|
MicroPython REPL for interactive testing and tweaking. However it
|
|
keeps time well and has enough power saving functions implemented
|
|
that it can survive for well over 24 hours between charges so even
|
|
at this early stage it is functional as a wearable timepiece.
|
|
|
|
WASP includes a robust bootloader based on the Adafruit NRF52
|
|
Bootloader. It has been extended to make it robust for development on
|
|
form-factor devices without a reset button, power switch, SWD debugger
|
|
or UART. This allows us to confidently develop on sealed devices relying
|
|
only on BLE for updates.

Building from a git clone
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
pip3 install --user click serial pyserial
|
|
make submodules
|
|
make softdevice
|
|
make -j `nproc` BOARD=pinetime all
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Note: *You will need a toolchain for the Arm Cortex-M4. wasp-os is developed and tested using the [GNU-RM toolchain](https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm) (9-2019-q4) from Arm.*
|
|
|
|
Note #2: *There are known problems with toolchains older than gcc-7.3 due to problems with link-time-optimization (which is enabled by default)*
|
|
|
|
Installing
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Note: *If you have a new PineTime then it will have been delivered with
|
|
flash protection enabled. You must disable the flash protection before
|
|
trying to program it.*
|
|
|
|
* Use an SWD programmer to install `bootloader.hex` to the PineTime.
|
|
This file is an Intel HEX file containing both the bootloader and
|
|
the Nordic SoftDevice. Be careful to disconnect cleanly from the
|
|
debug software since just pulling out the SWD cable will mean the
|
|
nRF52 will still believe it is being debugged.
|
|
* Copy `micropython.zip` to your Android device and download nRF Connect
|
|
for Android if you do not already have it.
|
|
* In nRF Connect, choose settings and reduce the DFU packet count from
|
|
10 to 4.
|
|
* Connect to PineDFU using nRFConnect, click the DFU button and send
|
|
`micropython.zip` to the device.
|
|
|
|
At the end of this process your watch will show the time (12:00) and a
|
|
battery meter. When the watch goes into power saving mode you can use
|
|
the side button to wake it again.
|
|
|
|
At this point you will also be able to use the Nordic UART Service to
|
|
access the MicroPython REPL, although currently you must send ^C to
|
|
interrupt the program that updates the watch display.
|
|
|
|
Just for fun try:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
^C
|
|
import demo
|
|
demo.run()
|
|
# After watching the demo for a bit...
|
|
^C
|
|
wasp.app.draw(watch)
|
|
wasp.run()
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
To set the time and restart the main application:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
^C
|
|
watch.rtc.set_time((hh, mm, ss))
|
|
wasp.run()
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
As mentioned above there are many drivers and features still to be
|
|
developed, see the [TODO list](todo.md) for current status.
