The Busware HUL v1.1 dongle is a product very similar to the rzusb dongle but with the at86rf212 instead of the at86rf230 transceiver. Some code refactoring has been made in order to better support multiple hardware targets. This includes: The reset_rf functions are now in the board specific files. The led functions are now in the board specific files. The register read/write functions are moved from mac.c to the generic board.c file as they are used by functions like reset_rf that are not within the mac.c file. Also the subreg_read and subreg_write functions were introduced for convenience. The function to change state is now also in board.c. The hardware types are moved into the atusb.h file (which is always synchrornized with the linux atusb driver) because they are now used by the driver to identify and configure the hardware. Within the makefile a new target name is specified called: hulusb Signed-off-by: Josef Filzmaier <j.filzmaier@gmx.at>
Requires a very recent toolchain, because ATmega32U2 is relatively new.
- Building:
make
- Uploading the firmware to a Ben (for flashing with the atusb-pgm cable):
make HOST=<hostname> upload
Example:
make HOST=ben upload
HOST defaults to "jlime".
- Flashing the boot loader:
Prerequisite: avrdude on the Ben.
Disconnect the atusb board from USB. Insert the atusb-pgm connector into
the Ben. Place the atusb-pgm adapter on the exposed contact pads of the
atusb board and push it down. Then run
make prog
This takes about 30 seconds. If the programming fails with an error
message like "Yikes! Invalid device signature.", verify that the
atusb-pgm board is properly connected and placed, then try again.
- Uploading the application:
Prerequisite: dfu-util installed on the PC.
Insert atusb into the PC, then run
make dfu
Note: since the boot loader resets the USB bus after timing out,
this operation can fail with a message like "No DFU capable USB device
found". Just retry, and it will eventually get through.
