Hi, I'd love to see native support for the W600-pico board: https://www.wemos.cc/en/latest/w600/w600_pico.html

Thanks!

wjbuys commented 3 years ago

In case it helps, from this forum thread, it looks like there is already an Arduino core, and a WIP implementation of the W60x platform by @maxgerhardt

maxgerhardt commented 3 years ago

Will also be extended to compile the Arduino core for the W600 series soon.

Jason2866 commented 3 years ago

@maxgerhardt cool to have the possibility to use the w600 with arduino support with platformio Maybe you are considering to do a platformio setup for the RTL8710? https://github.com/ambiot/amb1_arduino There is a port for the amb1-sdk but not for Arduino :-( https://github.com/chris-hatton/platformio-realtek-ameba/tree/amb1-sdk

maxgerhardt commented 3 years ago

@Jason2866 interestingly enough I actually do have such a board and also used the Arduino core (inside Arduino IDE), might have a look at that after that.

Jason2866 commented 3 years ago

Would be realy cool. One of our developers from Tasmota (tasmota.com) would begin to start a port to the RTL8710. Many new bought devices (smart switches, bulbs) uses the RTL8710. The ESP8266 is dying in commercial devices

maxgerhardt commented 3 years ago

Update: https://github.com/maxgerhardt/platform-w60x can now compile the Arduino core for all the same boards the original Arduino core can. Upload via serial works (bootloader upload with PA0 -> GND, RESET)

Currently only works for Windows because I'm relying on compiler and tools packages which I have only compiled / published for Windows yet. Will be cleaned up with added Linux and Mac support soon.

And of course, programming the chip with the latest vendor-provided SDK (WM_SDK_W60X_G3.04.00_2003) still works too:

Fantastic work @maxgerhardt! I tried out https://github.com/maxgerhardt/platform-w60x (wanted to contribute the Wemos W600 Pico board definition), but it looks like the tool-openocd-w60x package isn't published anywhere:

Processing w600 (platform: C:\Users\Jacob\Projects\platform-w60x; board: wemos_w600_pico; framework: arduino)

Error: Could not find the package with 'tool-openocd-w60x @ ~1.1000.0' requirements for your system 'windows_amd64'

Are you using a locally installed version? I'd be happy to help with packaging that if you can point me in the right direction.

Jason2866 commented 3 years ago

@wjbuys it seems since platformio v.5.0 it doesnt work anymore how it is done. The tool is referenced here https://github.com/maxgerhardt/platform-w60x/blob/master/manifest.json This file is referenced from https://github.com/maxgerhardt/platform-w60x/blob/master/platform.json

maxgerhardt commented 3 years ago

@wjbuys I do work on PIO core 5 but the old platform.json file still references the manifest -- this is just ignored. I've published the missing tool-openocd-w60x package which will hopefully be available tomorrow. The platform however doesn't yet correctly use openocd to upload the firmware, that's still WIP. Also the package is Windows only.

For Linux I still have to compile the tool-w60x-download and use a arm-nonee-eabi-gcc that's directly executable on x64 Linux. The one that the Arduino IDE uses is actually 32-bit and will not run without install a 32-bit version of libc / libstd++ package to be able to run the 32-bit executable.

wanted to contribute the Wemos W600 Pico board definition

I've also incidentally got like 6 of those and will add them too. What's disappointing me on that board is however no auto-reset into bootloader mode via DTR+RTS going to Reset+PA0. Only DTR goes to reset which allows automated reset, but not into bootloder mode :(. So still manual pushbutton action is needed.

Another topic is the Arduino-W600 core. The code is.. it could be better. Warnings all over the place, obvious bugs (try to find the error here and here), the original code doesn't even compile after they accepted a pull-requsest which calls unincluded functions, and all that. Might have to improve that myself, too.

maxgerhardt commented 3 years ago

Just to update that this is not a dead project: I'm currently fixing up some packages, adding new boards (that have finally arrived so I can actually test them) and adding upload via SWD, e.g. an STLink. Some quirks are still to be worked at and straightened out, but full debugging (breakpoints, variable watches, ...) works.

Hi. I'm trying to make use PlatformIO to W600-pico, so trying to use library of @maxgerhardt 's one

but I have some problems to use this....

Firstly, occured toolchain error. PlatformIO wants 'platformio/toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi @ ~1.40903.0' but it's not exist anywhere. So manually add 'platform_packages = maxgerhardt/toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi@~1.40903.0' into 'platformio.ini', and build is fine now. (Solved)

Secondly, occured upload error.

Processing generic_w600 (platform: maxgerhardt/tool-w60x-download; board: generic_w600; framework: arduino)

The terminal process "C:\Users\chory\.platformio\penv\Scripts\platformio.exe 'run', '--target', 'upload', '--environment', 'generic_w600'" terminated with exit code: 1.

This package looks not exist anywhere, so I've remove that requirements from 'platform-w60x' definition. And finally get this!

...but, yeah. It's failed.

I'm trying to manual flash the binary by latest wm_tool.exe from W60X SDK, but still no lucks.

How to configure it can works properly?

maxgerhardt commented 3 years ago

Hm weird, it displays the MAC but fails.. You reset the W600 chip into bootloader mode by connecting PA0 to GND and pressing reset, right?

I haven't developed my w600 platform further in quite some time, I guess I should look over it again and clean things up.

Hmmmm what's going on?

I'm not connecting PA0 to GND before, because I can upload W600 SDK demo image without that. Run wm_tool and reset board, Tada! It flashed fine.

But... I've connect that pins and try flash my image again, It FLASHED!

Thank you! @maxgerhardt !

maxgerhardt commented 3 years ago

There's two bootloaders on the device -- the one, low level, in the mask ROM, entered automatically by having PA0 pulled low during a reset, and then a second-stage bootloader that is always flashed with an application. These bootloaders have different capabilities in the firmware formats they accept. There are WinnerMicro document on this -- this and this and this. The upload method that I used probably expects the mask-ROM bootloader.
