BL602 SDK (Pine64 fork)
709a9f9329
We should eventually just get rid of the "pip install" invocation in the Makefile altogether and replace it with good documentation for manual environment setup. Bot for the moment we have it and so we should make it work even in the case where it needs to compile code. This should fix the CI problems on macOS and Ubuntu 19.10. I was torn between fixing it this way and removing the "export"s from the Makefile altogether, replacing them with explicit variable passing to submakes. But I figure that it's probably correct to have $CC and friends automatically set to the cross compiler since the entire purpose of these Makefiles is to build code for the BL602. If we ever delegate some functionality to a shell script, it'll be nice to just have $CC automagically set. So I've kept the exports and fixed it this way instead. |

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/>`_.
The main task is to reverse engineer the following files:
- `components/bl602/bl602_wifi/lib/libbl602_wifi.a <https://github.com/pine64/bl_iot_sdk/blob/master/components/bl602/bl602_wifi/lib/libbl602_wifi.a>`_
- `components/network/ble/blecontroller/lib/libblecontroller.a <https://github.com/pine64/bl_iot_sdk/blob/master/components/network/ble/blecontroller/lib/libblecontroller.a>`_
- `components/stage/atcmd/lib/libatcmd.a <https://github.com/pine64/bl_iot_sdk/blob/master/components/stage/atcmd/lib/libatcmd.a>`_
This is being done at `bl602-re <https://github.com/pine64/bl602-re>`_.
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 sample apps, you need to set a few environment variables::
export BL60X_SDK_PATH=/path/to/this/repo
export CONFIG_CHIP_NAME=BL602
In order to build all sample apps simply call `make`, for example::
make
To only build the sample app of interest, go to the directory of the app,
then call `make`, for example::
cd customer_app/bl602_boot2
make
Call
====
::
make CONFIG_TOOLPREFIX=riscv64-linux-gnu-
if you wish to bypass 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
**Note:** If you decide to copy any project outside of the `customer_app` folder,
you will need to define a few variables in order to compile it::
export BL60X_SDK_PATH=/path/to/this/repo
export CONFIG_CHIP_NAME=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?
