Software
1

Hi,

Are there some information available to use the Core2 Board tovether with (modern) Arduino and PlatformIO?

I know the board is outdated but it works very well and mbed is EOL.

Especially I am looking for the Arduino configuration files variant.h, board.json and so on.

An help is welcome😃

Hi @MichaelT

The Core 2 has not been sold as a standalone product for a long time. The PCB has undergone several subsequent revisions, which are used in the ROSbot 3. The firmware for these boards is written using PlatformIO. Link to the rosbot-firmware source code.

I expect that it won’t take much change to make it work on the predecessor and this is a possible starting point.

Hi @RafalGorecki,

Thanks for your answer.

What does that mean concrete?

  • Can I use the board file, platform url and platform description url (in platformio.ini from this repo?
  • Are the pin mappings the same?
  • Are MCU the same, so that the Hal initialisation works?
