Olimex founder Tsvetan Usunov has introduced a brand new characteristic for the corporate’s speedy RT1010Py MicroPython growth board: a port of the TinyUF2 bootloader for drag-and-drop firmware flashing.<\/p>\n

“Robert Hammelrath did wonderful job by including [a] usbtinyuf2 bootloader to it, so now you may substitute the MicroPython firmware by easy drag and drop such as you do on [Raspberry Pi] Pico,” Usunov explains of the board’s new characteristic. “We’ll ship all RT1010Py any longer with usbtinyuf2 bootloader.”<\/p>\n

Olimex’s Tsvetan Usunov has introduced a TinyUF2 port for the RT1010Py MicroPython board, for simple drag-and-drop firmware set up. (\ud83d\udcf7: Olimex\/MicroPython)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The corporate launched the RT1010Py <\/span>again in November 2023<\/a>, as what Usunov known as its “quickest board working MicroPython” \u2014 because of the NXP Semiconductors MIMXRT1011DAE5A “crossover” microcontroller at its coronary heart. The chip’s 500MHz Arm Cortex-M7 core offers, Usunov says, round 4 instances the efficiency of the Raspberry Pi RP2040 on an earlier Olimex MicroPython board design, whereas an optionally available “devkit” provider board added USB Sort-C energy, two UEXT connectors, and two mains-voltage relays to the breadboard-friendly growth board’s capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The brand new bootloader does nothing to spice up the efficiency nonetheless additional, however does make it so it is simpler to load new firmware onto the board. Simply double-click the on-board RESET button and the microcontroller will load UF2 mode \u2014 showing to the host working system to be a surprisingly low-capacity USB Mass Storage System. Drag and drop any appropriate UF2-format firmware to this drive, and it’ll immediately disappear because the board flashes the firmware and masses it on reboot.<\/p>\n

Directions on flashing and utilizing the brand new bootloader can be found on the MicroPython web site, whereas boards with the bootloader pre-loaded can be found <\/span>from the Olimex retailer<\/a> priced at \u20ac15 (round $16.50) every; the board design recordsdata can be found <\/span>on GitHub<\/a> beneath the permissive Apache 2.0 license.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
