Features

Supported features are

Double tap to enter DFU, reboot to DFU and quick reboot from application
DFU with MassStorage (MSC)
Self update with uf2 file
Indicator: LED, RGB, TFT
Debug log with uart/swd

Not all features are implemented for all MCUs, following is supported MCUs and its feature

Build and Flash

Following is generic compiling information. Each port may require extra set-up and slight different process e.g esp32s2 require setup IDF.

Clone

Clone this repo with its submodule

$ git clone git@github.com:adafruit/tinyuf2.git tinyuf2
$ cd tinyuf2
$ git submodule update --init

Compile

To build this for a specific board, we need to change current directory to its port folder

$ cd ports/stm32f4

Firstly we need to get all submodule dependency for our board using tools/get_deps.py script with either family input or using --board option. You only need to do this once for each family

python tools/get_deps.py stm32f4
python tools/get_deps.py --board feather_stm32f405_express

Then compile with all target:

make BOARD=feather_stm32f405_express all

Flash

flash target will use the default on-board debugger (jlink/cmsisdap/stlink/dfu) to flash the binary, please install those support software in advance. Some board use bootloader/DFU via serial which is required to pass to make command

$ make BOARD=feather_stm32f405_express flash

If you use an external debugger, there is flash-jlink, flash-stlink, flash-pyocd which are mostly like to work out of the box for most of the supported board.

Debug

To compile for debugging add DEBUG=1, this will mostly change the compiler optimization

$ make BOARD=feather_stm32f405_express DEBUG=1 all

Log

Should you have an issue running example and/or submitting an bug report. You could enable TinyUSB built-in debug logging with optional LOG=.

LOG=1 will print message from bootloader and error if any from TinyUSB stack.
LOG=2 and LOG=3 will print more information with TinyUSB stack events

$ make BOARD=feather_stm32f405_express LOG=1 all

Logger

By default log message is printed via on-board UART which is slow and take lots of CPU time comparing to USB speed. If your board support on-board/external debugger, it would be more efficient to use it for logging. There are 2 protocols:

LOGGER=rtt: use Segger RTT protocol
- Cons: requires jlink as the debugger.
- Pros: work with most if not all MCUs
- Software viewer is JLink RTT Viewer/Client/Logger which is bundled with JLink driver package.

$ make BOARD=feather_stm32f405_express LOG=2 LOGGER=rtt all
