Add process to Flash Circuitpython to the board
You can get there after a few clicks from the "MGM240P Wireless Module" link but should there be a direct link to the "Simplicity Commander" download as well?
Hello @RetiredWizard:
- Can I have confirmation of the addresses to use to flash the binary?
- I propose to add some notes to help users:
Method 2 - Simplicity Commander
You can use Simplicity Commander: A tool that contains a scriptable command line, allows the user to flash their application.
- Download Simplicity Commander
- Extract Simplicity Commander directory from the zip file.
- Go to Simplicity Commander directory
- Run commander.exe in commande line
Does this look correct?
That looks correct, however I'm running the Windows install which would probably be launched from an icon rather than the command line.
Here are a couple other approaches that I thought might work, but really as long as the link and reference to Simplicity Commander is included I think they're all good:
Method 2 - Simplicity Commander
You can use Simplicity Commander, A tool that contains a scriptable command line, allowing the user to flash their application.
- Download the .BIN file
- Select the attached board via the "select kit" pull down
- Start Flash programmer in Simplicity Commander by clicking on the "Flash" icon
- Confirm the Flash start address of 0x08000000 is selected
- Click Flash
I might even simplify it to something more like:
Flash Circuitpython to the SparkFun Thing Plus Matter board
The Flash programmer in SimplicityStudio or Simplicity Commander can be used to flash the board. The starting Flash base address should be set to 0x08000000.
It sounds like this is still a work in progress, so I'm converting to a draft for now.
