BL602 SDK (Pine64 version)
==========================
Join us on `Discord <https://discord.gg/89VWQVH>`_, `Telegram <https://t.me/joinchat/Kmi2S0nOsT240emHk-aO6g>`_, `Matrix <https://matrix.to/#/#pine64-nutcracker:matrix.org>`_
This repository contains the Pine64 fork of Bouffalo Lab's SDK for their BL602
Wi-Fi/BLE Combo RISC-V SoC. Documentation, including upstream documentation,
translations, mirrored technical documentation, and original reverse engineered
documentation is at `bl602-docs <https://github.com/pine64/bl602-docs>`_, which
is cloned as a submodule of this repository at ``docs``. Use `git submodule update --init` to initialize the submodule.
This repository is the central focus of Pine64's
`Nutcracker Challenge <https://www.pine64.org/2020/10/28/nutcracker-challenge-blob-free-wifi-ble/>`_.
Documentation
------------
You can find a lot of documentation on `PINE64 Documentation Website <https://pine64.github.io/bl602-docs/>`_ and `PINE64 Documentation Repository <https://github.com/pine64/bl602-docs>`_, where you can find Datasheets, Reference Manuals and various other documentation materials.
Quick Start
-----------
In order to build one of the sample apps, you need to set a few environment
variables::
export BL60X_SDK_PATH=/path/to/this/repo
export CONFIG_CHIP_NAME=BL602
Then go to the sample directory of interest and call `make`, for example::
cd customer_app/bl602_boot2
make
Call ::
make CONFIG_TOOLPREFIX=riscv64-linux-gnu-
for bypassing the bundled cross-compiler and using your distribution's own
cross-compiler.
There is a linker script (written in python) at `image_conf/flash_build.py`.
To run this, you need to specify the application and the target, for example::
python3 flash_build.py bl602_boot2 bl602
Hardware
--------
BL602 is a 32-bit RISC-V based combo chipset supporting Wi-Fi and BLE (Bluetooth
Low Energy). The chip is made by `Nanjing-based Bouffalo Lab <https://www.bouffalolab.com/bl602>`_
for ultra-low-power applications. In terms of price range and feature set, the
chip is competing against `Espressif ESP8266 <https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp8266>`_.
The RISC-V core is based on `SiFive E24 <https://www.sifive.com/cores/e24>`_.
At the moment there are mainly three development boards:
- `PineCone <https://www.pine64.org/2020/10/28/nutcracker-challenge-blob-free-wifi-ble/>`_: USB-C evaluation board by Pine64 (datasheet `here <https://www.cnx-software.com/pdf/schematics/Pine64%20BL602%20EVB%20Schematic%20ver%201.1.pdf>`_), RGB LED, CH340N USB-to-UART chip
- `Doi.am DT-BL10 <https://www.cnx-software.com/2020/10/25/bl602-iot-sdk-and-5-dt-bl10-wifi-ble-risc-v-development-board/>`_: micro USB
- `Official BL EVB <https://twitter.com/nnn112358/status/1321289916249235457>`_ (Sipeed early adopter program): mini USB, FTDI chip?
