README
======
This README discusses issues unique to NuttX configurations for the
Particle.io Photon board featuring the STM32F205RG MCU.
The STM32F205RG is a 120 MHz Cortex-M3 operation with 1Mbit Flash
memory and 128kbytes. The board includes a Broadcom BCM43362 WiFi.

Selecting the Photon board on NuttX
===================================
NOTICE: We will not discuss about toolchains and environment configuration
here, please take a look at STM32F4Discory board README or other STM32 board
because it should work for Photon board as well.
Let us to consider that you cloned the nuttx and apps repositories, then
follow these steps:
1) Clear your build system before to start:
$ make apps_distclean
$ make distclean
2) Enter inside nuttx/tools and configure to use the Photon board:
$ cd nuttx
$ cd tools
$ ./configure.sh photon/wlan
Now please return to root of nuttx/ directory:
$ cd ..
Configuring NuttX to use your Wireless Router (aka Access Point)
================================================================
Since you are already in the root of nuttx/ repository, execute
make menuconfig to define your Wireless Router and your password:
$ make menuconfig
Browser the menus this way:
Application Configuration --->
NSH Library --->
Networking Configuration --->
WAPI Configuration --->
(myApSSID) SSID
(mySSIDpassphrase) Passprhase
Replace the SSID from myApSSID with your wireless router name and
the Passprhase with your WiFi password.
Exit and save your configuration.
Finally just compile NuttX:
$ make
Flashing NuttX in the Photon board
==================================
Connect the Photon board in your computer using a MicroUSB cable. Press and
hold both board's buttons (SETUP and RESET), then release the RESET button,
the board will start blinking in the Purple color, waiting until it starts
blinking in Yellow color. Now you can release the SETUP button as well.
1) You can verify if DFU mode in your board is working, using this command:
$ sudo dfu-util -l
dfu-util 0.8

Serial console configuration
============================
Connect a USB/Serial 3.3V dongle to GND, TX and RX pins of Photon board.
Then use some serial console client (minicom, picocom, teraterm, etc) confi-
gured to 115200 8n1 without software or hardware flow control.
Reset the board and you should see NuttX starting in the serial.
