UF2 Bootloaders for STM32

This implements USB mass storage flashing using UF2 format

Big Notice

You may get the latest compiled bootloader flasher from release page: https://github.com/KittenBot/uf2-meowbit/releases/

or from our web site download page: https://cdn.kittenbot.cn/meowbit/meowbit-flasher.uf2

And you may go into spi-flash mode by holding the left button during reset.

The internal spi-flash will mount as a thumb disk, format it or copy anything you like to it.

Static resource and firmware

• 12x12 unicode binary https://cdn.kittenbot.cn/meowbit/unicode12.bin
• micropython firmware https://cdn.kittenbot.cn/meowbit/meowpy.uf2

Build instructions

To build just run make in this folder. This will fetch git submodules if needed and build libopenocm3 (which only happens once).

The binaries will be in build/BOARDNAME. The following files will be built:

• bootloader.elf - for use with JTAG adapters
• bootloader.bin - for direct onboard upgrading
• flasher.uf2 - if you already have a UF2 bootloader, you can just drop this on board and it will update the bootloader
• flasher16.uf2 - this is similar, but if you have an older UF2 bootloader on the board, that expects the app to start at 16k (0x08004000)

Adding board

Start from f401 (for 64 pin package) or f401c (for 48 pin package) generic board. Copy the folder and modify board.h, follow instructions at https://arcade.makecode.com/hardware/adding#generating-bootloader

It contains small bits from https://github.com/devanlai/dapboot, mostly the WebUSB, that has been heavily modified though.

The UF2 stuff was mostly lifted from https://github.com/Microsoft/uf2-samdx1 by way of (non-working) https://github.com/Microsoft/uf2-nrf5
