Uploading firmware using core2-flasher

Connect CORE2 to your computer via micro-usb port and use the core2-flasher tool (from this repo) to upload a generated firmware.hex file. You will find the firmware.hex file in the .pio/build/core2 directory.

To flash firmware using core2-flasher run:

./core2-flasher .pio/build/core2/firmware.hex

CORE2 pinout

This board pinout is described in src/TARGET_CORE2/PinNames.h file. Pin names defined in that file are similar to ones used by hFramework and should be easily identifiable. Peripheral functions available for each pin are described in PeripheralPins.c file.
