Version 0.1

Initial MicroPython version

Installation

You can upload the firmware with the included display driver for the st7789v using the attached esptool.exe and the firmware.bin. The command is

C:\Users\you\Downloads> .\esptool.exe --port COM6 --chip esp32 --baud 460800 write_flash -z 0x1000 firmware.bin

Based on MicroPython v1.12 and the work of Russ Hughes library st7789_mpy this should be a good foundation to start with students on the T-Display.

Sources

The esptool.exe and firmware.bin are taken from these sources:

• https://github.com/russhughes/st7789_mpy/tree/master/firmware/esp32
• https://github.com/espressif/esptool/releases/tag/v3.0

The original firmware with MicroPython for the ESP32 can be found at

• https://micropython.org/download/esp32/

And the display driver for the ST7789V was taken from Adafruit, then rewritten in Python by Ivan Belokobylskiy (devbis) and C and later refined and compiled into a new firmware with MicroPython v1.12 by Russ Hughes
