This directory contains the port of NuttX to the Pimoroni Tiny 2040.
See https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/tiny-2040?variant=39560012234835
for information about Pimoroni Tiny 2040.
The Pimoroni Tiny 2040 has two buttons (RESET and BOOT) allowing to boot
from ROM without disconnecting the device.
NuttX supports the following RP2040 capabilities:
- UART (console port)
- GPIO 0 (UART0 TX) and GPIO 1 (UART0 RX) are used for the console.
- I2C (not tested on Tiny 2040)
- SPI (master only)
- DMAC
- PWM
- ADC
- Watchdog
- USB device
- MSC, CDC/ACM serial and these composite device are supported.
- CDC/ACM serial device can be used for the console.
- PIO (RP2040 Programmable I/O)
- Flash ROM Boot
- SRAM Boot
- If Pico SDK is available, nuttx.uf2 file which can be used in
BOOTSEL mode will be created.
- Persistent flash filesystem in unused flash ROM
NuttX also provide support for these external devices:
- WS2812 smart pixel support
There is currently no direct user mode access to these RP2040 hardware features:
- SPI Slave Mode
- SSI
- RTC
- Timers
Installation
============
1. Download Raspberry Pi Pico SDK
$ git clone -b 1.1.2 https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk.git
2. Set PICO_SDK_PATH environment variable
$ export PICO_SDK_PATH=<absolute_path_to_pico-sdk_directory>
3. Configure and build NuttX
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx.git nuttx
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx-apps.git apps
$ cd nuttx
$ make distclean
$ ./tools/configure.sh pimoroni-tiny2040:nsh
$ make V=1
4. Connect Pimoroni Tiny 2040 board to USB port. While pressing the
BOOT button, shortly press the RESET button. On releasing the BOOT
button the board boots from internal ROM and will be detected as
USB Mass Storage Device. Then copy "nuttx.uf2" into the device.
(Same manner as the standard Pico SDK applications installation.)
5. To access the console, GPIO 0 and 1 pins must be connected to the
device such as USB-serial converter.
`usbnsh` configuration provides the console access by USB CDC/ACM serial
devcice. The console is available by using a terminal software on the USB
host.
Defconfigs
==========
- nsh
Minimum configuration with NuttShell
- nsh-flash
NuttX shell with SMART flash filesystem.
- nshsram
Load NuttX binary to SRAM
- smp
Enable SMP mode. Both Core 0 and Core 1 are used by NuttX.
- spisd
SD card support (SPI connection)
Connection:
SD card slot ----- Pimoroni Tiny 2040
(Pin 9) DAT2 (NC)
(Pin 1) DAT3/CS ----- GP5 (SPI0 CSn) (Pin 11)
(Pin 2) CMD /DI ----- GP7 (SPI0 TX) (Pin 9)
(Pin 3) VSS ----- GND (Pin 2 or 8)
(Pin 4) VDD ----- 3V3 OUT (Pin 3)
(Pin 5) CLK/SCK ----- GP6 (SPI0 SCK) (Pin 10)
(Pin 6) VSS ----- GND (Pin 2 or 8)
(Pin 7) DAT0/DO ----- GP4 (SPI0 RX) (Pin 12)
(Pin 8) DAT1 (NC)
* Card hot swapping is not supported.
- usbnsh
USB CDC/ACM serial console with NuttShell
- usbmsc
USB MSC and CDC/ACM support
`msconn` and `sercon` commands enable the MSC and CDC/ACM devices.
The MSC support provides the interface to the SD card with SPI,
so the SD card slot connection like spisd configuration is required.
- composite
USB composite device (MSC + CDC/ACM) support
`conn` command enables the composite device.
- gpio
GPIO driver and example application 'gpio' based on nsh configuration.
Following GPIO are configured in include/board.h:
GPIO18 (out): onboard RGB LED (red)
GPIO19 (out): onboard RGB LED (green)
GPIO20 (out): onboard RGB LED (blue)
GPIO23 (in) : onboard BOOT (USER) button
* No interrupt pin configured.
