This repo is a fork of the upstream FUZIX project. It maintains a small patchset that enables FUZIX to boot on a PicoCalc device.
It currently builds and publishes images for the pico2 and pico_w.
The patchset was originally taken from https://github.com/clockworkpi/PicoCalc
- Attach a USB cable to the pico
- Hold down the bootsel button and power cycle the pico
- Copy the fuzix.uf2 to RP mount point
To update the filesystem image on your SD card, you can use dd to put it on the second partition:
$ dd if=filesystem.img of=/dev/sdb2 oflag=direct bs=8192 status=progressMake sure to change the of to match your device and ensure that you
are writing it to the correct device! You will typically need root
privileges to perform that dd command.
See the PicoCalc repo for more information
I (@wez) am by no means an expert of FUZIX, but I've found the following things useful when iterating on building stuff in here:
- You can use
picoctl flashto reset into flash mode, which saves some hassle if you want to update the kernel image - To clean and rebuild the kernel image, without cmake over-aggressively caching things, use:
$ make -C Kernel/platform/platform-rpipico/ clean
$ make TARGET=rpipico SUBTARGET=pico2_w diskimage- You probably want to
echo "stty erase '^?'" > .profileto make delete/backspace work over the serial console - If you add an additional partition to your SD card, you can enable swap on it; the maximum size that can be used is 2048kB; you can create a partition larger than that size, but you can only use 2048kB or 4096 blocks of it. The following command will use that size:
$ swapon /dev/hda3 4096You can put that command into /etc/rc using levee as an editor; it is
similar to vi.
