See the top level README for information on where to find documentation
|
||||
for the raspberry pi and the ARM processor inside. Also find information
|
||||
on how to load and run these programs.
|
||||
|
||||
These examples are for the pi zero, see other directories for other
|
||||
flavors of raspberry pi. The raspberry pi family is more similar than
|
||||
different, but I have decided it is easier to manage by grouping the
|
||||
examples by board type.
|
||||
|
||||
The pi zero is similar to the original pi but overclocked and they
|
||||
removed much of the stuff on the board to get things to make it smaller
|
||||
and significantly lower cost. I think this was a direct response to the
|
||||
getchip.com product. I wonder if they will actually continue production.
|
||||
|
||||
My preferred way to run examples is to use my bootloader07 kernel.img on
|
||||
the board with an ftdi usb to uart board or cable. I also solder a
|
||||
momentary pushbutton on the RUN pins, which is basically a board reset.
|
||||
There are ways to do this without soldering, pins you can push in rather
|
||||
than solder.
|
||||
|
||||
Once the sd card is in with bootloader07, press reset, download the
|
||||
intel hex (.hex) version of the program I want to run. Press 'g' to go.
|
||||
Repeat as necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
Or you can copy the blinker01.bin file to the kernel.img file on your
|
||||
sd card, replace the sd card and turn the power on.
