# RP2040 Trackball Firmware For use with Raspberry Pi Pico boards. Adapted from the `dev_hid_composite` pico-example [from GitHub](https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-examples/tree/master/usb/device/dev_hid_composite), as well as the tinyusb-cdc-example [from GitHub](https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb/blob/master/examples/device/cdc_msc/src/main.c). Supports PMW3360 optical mouse sensors. ## Quick Start When compiling for the first time, check out the required git submodules. git submodule update --init cd pico-sdk git submodule update --init Then do this to build. mkdir build cd build cmake .. make -j4 trackball And flash the resulting `trackball.uf2` file to your Pico as usual. For convenience you can use the included `flash.sh`, as long as you flashed the binary manually once before. make -j4 trackball ../flash.sh trackball.uf2 This will use the mass storage bootloader to upload a new uf2 image. For old-school debugging a serial port will be presented by the firmware. Open it using eg. `picocom`, or with the included `debug.sh` script. For dependencies to compile, on Arch install these. sudo pacman -S arm-none-eabi-gcc arm-none-eabi-newlib picocom cmake ## Proper Debugging You can also use the SWD interface for proper hardware debugging. This follows the instructions from the [RP2040 Getting Started document](https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pico/getting-started-with-pico.pdf) from chapter 5 and 6. For ease of reading the disassembly, create a debug build. mkdir build_debug cd build_debug cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. make -j4 trackball You need a hardware SWD probe. This can be made from another Pico, see Appendix A in the document linked above. For this you need to compile the `picoprobe` firmware, like this. git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/picoprobe.git cd picoprobe git submodule update --init mkdir build cd build PICO_SDK_PATH=../../../pico-sdk cmake .. make -j4 And flash the resulting `picoprobe.uf2` to your probe. Connect `GP2` of the probe to `SWCLK` of the target and `GP3` of the probe to `SWDIO` of the target. Of course you also need to connect GND between both. You need some dependencies, mainly `gdb-multiarch` and the RP2040 fork of `OpenOCD`. sudo apt install gdb-multiarch # Debian / Ubuntu sudo pacman -S arm-none-eabi-gdb # Arch Linux cd ../.. # back to build_debug directory from before git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/openocd.git --branch rp2040 --recursive --depth=1 cd openocd # install udev rules sudo cp contrib/60-openocd.rules /etc/udev/rules.d sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger ./bootstrap ./configure --enable-ftdi --enable-sysfsgpio --enable-bcm2835gpio make -j4 Now we can flash a firmware image via OpenOCD. ./openocd/src/openocd -s openocd/tcl -f interface/cmsis-dap.cfg -f target/rp2040.cfg -c "adapter speed 5000" -c "cmsis_dap_vid_pid 0x2e8a 0x000c" -c "program trackball.elf verify reset exit" And also start a GDB debugging session. ./openocd/src/openocd -s openocd/tcl -f interface/cmsis-dap.cfg -f target/rp2040.cfg -c "adapter speed 5000" -c "cmsis_dap_vid_pid 0x2e8a 0x000c" arm-none-eabi-gdb trackball.elf target extended-remote localhost:3333 These commands have also been put in the `flash_swd.sh` and `debug_swd.sh` scripts, respectively. Call them from the `build_debug` folder where you checked out and built OpenOCD. ## License The firmware itself is licensed as GPLv3.
