By default, the build system uses +the `arm-none-eabi` toolchain for the latter. + +Run `scons` to build the firmware and test programs. + + +Installation +------------ + +This firmware can be installed on supported watches without opening them up. +To do so, we will first install an intermediate bootloader at the flash's +location for the application firmware (0x8000) and run it. +Afterwards, we can install the final bootloader at flash offset 0x0, +then we can install the custom application firmware at 0x8000. + +Note that doing this has the potential to brick your watch. + +Instructions: +1. Register udev rules with the system: +``` +sudo install -o root -g root -m 0644 contrib/99-gps-watch.rules /etc/udev/rules.d +sudo udevadm control -R +``` +2. Connect watch via USB. +3. Mount watch's USB mass storage to `/mnt`. +4. Install intermediate bootloader. Instructions vary slightly depending on your watch's model. + +For OnMove 220: +```cp build-target/gps-watch-bootloader-intermediate.frm /mnt/firm220.frm``` +For OnMove 500: +```cp build-target/gps-watch-bootloader-intermediate.frm /mnt/firm500.frm``` +5. Unmount watch's USB mass storage. +6. Press watch's "Brightness" (middle left) button to initiate firmware update. +7. Install final bootloader: +``` +tools/update-firmware -d /dev/gps-watch-bootloader-intermediate -o 0x0 -l 4 -wv build-target/gps-watch-bootloader-final.bin +``` +8. Start final bootloader and prepare to press and hold the "Brightness" button (middle left): +``` +tools/update-firmware -d /dev/gps-watch-bootloader-intermediate -l 4 -s +``` +9. Press and hold the "Brightness" button to avoid booting into application code. +10. Install and start application firmware: +``` +tools/update-firmware -d /dev/gps-watch-bootloader -o 0x8000 -l 4 -wvs build-target/gps-watch-application.bin +``` +11. After a couple of seconds, the watch should show up as `/dev/gps-watch`. + +To update a watch to a later build, run the following command while the watch +is still in the bootloader (see below): +``` +tools/update-firmware -d /dev/gps-watch-bootloader -o 0x8000 -l 4 -wvs build-target/gps-watch-application.bin +``` + + +Usage +----- + +Connect the watch via USB, start a terminal program and point it at `/dev/gps-watch` to use the serial interface. Run the `help` command to get a list of supported commands. + +Note that the `clear_storage` command has the potential to brick your watch. +Do *not* run it unless you have opened up your watch and connected it to a debugger! + +To start a new recording, or to stop a running recording, press and hold the "Play" button (upper right) for 1.5s. +While a recording is running, press the "Next" or "Previous" button (lower left and lower right) to cycle through display of time, distance and pace. + +To retrieve a recording, run the `get` command in the shell interface, then make +your terminal send an upper case `R` within 5s. This instructs the watch to +send the recording's data in Y encoding (`yenc`). Running `tools/gpxify` on the +decoded data yields a GPX file. + +To reset the watch, press the upper left and lower right buttons at the same time. +The bootloader will avoid starting the application code if the "Brightness" button (middle left) is pressed in the first 3s after startup.
