Watch Application System in Python

|
==================================
|

|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Currently in its infancy wasp-os provides only a little more than a simple
|
|
digital clock application for `PineTime <https://www.pine64.org/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 72 hours between
|
|
charges so even at this early stage it is functional as a wearable
|
|
timepiece.
|
|
|
|
Wasp-os 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.

Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Wasp-os is has `extensive documentation <https://wasp-os.readthedocs.io>`_
|
|
which includes a detailed `Applicaiton Writer's Guide
|
|
<https://daniel-thompson.github.io/wasp-os/appguide.html>`_ to help you
|
|
get started coding for wasp-os as quickly as possible.
|
|
|
|
Building from a git clone
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Get the code from
|
|
`https://github.com/daniel-thompson/wasp-os <https://github.com/daniel-thompson/wasp-os>`_ .
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
There are known problems with toolchains older than gcc-7.3 due to problems
|
|
with link-time-optimization (which is enabled by default).
|
|
|
|
Installing
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
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 (and won't properly enter deep sleep
|
|
modes).
|
|
|
|
.. 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.
|
|
|
|
To install using Android device:
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
To install using Linux and ota-dfu:
|
|
|
|
* Look up the MAC address for your watch (try: ``sudo hcitool lescan``\ ).
|
|
* Use ota-dfu to upload ``micropython.zip`` to the device. For example:
|
|
``tools/ota-dfu/dfu.py -z micropython.zip -a A0:B1:C2:D3:E3:F5 --legacy``
|
|
|
|
At the end of this process your watch will show the time (03:00) together
|
|
with a date and 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:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
^C
|
|
import demo
|
|
demo.run()
|
|
# After watching the demo for a bit...
|
|
^C
|
|
wasp.app.draw(watch)
|
|
wasp.system.run()
|
|
|
|
To set the time and restart the main application:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
^C
|
|
watch.rtc.set_localtime((yyyy, mm, dd, HH, MM, SS))
|
|
wasp.system.run()
|
|
|
|
Or just use:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
./tools/wasptool --rtc
|
|
|
|
which can run these commands automatically.
|
|
|
|
As mentioned above there are many drivers and features still to be
|
|
developed, see the `TODO list <TODO.md>`_ for current status.
