This commit changes the Arduino board identifiers to correspond to their official names. This helps to identify boards at runtime. At the moment the Arduino Portenta H7 is reported as PORTENTA which is unfortunate as now there is another Portenta board (Portenta C33) supported in MicroPython. Also made the other identifiers for flash and network name consistent, removed the incorrectly used MICROPY_PY_SYS_PLATFORM identifiers, and added missing MICROPY_PY_NETWORK_HOSTNAME_DEFAULT identifiers. Boards affected: - stm32: ARDUINO_PORTENTA_H7, ARDUINO_GIGA, ARDUINO_NICLA_VISION - renesas-ra: ARDUINO_PORTENTA_C33 - esp32: ARDUINO_NANO_ESP32 - rp2: ARDUINO_NANO_RP2040_CONNECT Signed-off-by: Sebastian Romero <s.romero@arduino.cc>
The Renesas RA port
This is a port of MicroPython to the Renesas RA family of microcontrollers. Currently supported features are:
- Filesystem on the internal flash using FatFs.
timemodule with sleep, time, and ticks functions.osmodule with VFS support.machinemodule with the following classes:Pin,ADC,PWM,DAC,I2C,SPI,SoftI2C,SoftSPI,UART,RTC,SDCard.sdcardmodule for MCUs without nativemachine.SDCardsupport.
Currently supported board product names are:
- EK-RA6M2
- RA4M1 CLICKER
- EK-RA6M1
- EK-RA4M1
- EK-RA4W1
Please refer to the quick reference of renesas-ra port for more
information about the boards.
Build instructions
-
MicroPython cross-compier The MicroPython cross-compiler must be built first, which will be used to pre-compile (freeze) built-in Python code. THis cross-compiler is built and run on the host machine, using:
$ make -C mpy-crossThis command should be executed from the root directory of this repository. All other commands below should be executed from the ports/renesas-ra/ directory.
-
Arm compiler An
Arm compileris required for the build, along with the associated binary utilities. The default compiler isarm-none-eabi-gcc, which is available for Linux, Mac and Windows hosts via https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads. The compiler can be changed using theCROSS_COMPILEvariable when invokingmake. -
Protocol buffer compiler Building for the
ARDUINO_PORTENTA_C33board will build theesp_hosteddriver, that depends on the Protocol Buffer Compiler being installed. On Debian/Ubuntu, this can be installed withsudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler. -
Obtain submodules First the submodules must be obtained using:
$ make submodules -
Build binary image
.hexThen to build for a given board subdirectory name, run:$ make BOARD=EK_RA6M2 clean $ make BOARD=EK_RA6M2The default board subdirectory name is EK_RA6M2 (which is for EK-RA6M2 board) but any of the names of the subdirectories in the
boards/directory can be passed as the argument toBOARD=; for exampleRA4M1_CLICKER,EK_RA4M1,EK_RA4W1andEK_RA6M1. The above command should produce binary imagesfirmware.hexin the build-EK_RA6M2/` subdirectory (or the equivalent directory for the board specified).
Supported/Unsupprted funtions
