## How to flash LUFA MassStorage bootloader on Linux
|
|
|
|
The FAT filesystem on Linux very often cannot flush the write cache,
|
|
leading to broken firmware in the flash.
|
|
|
|
We can use `dd` to write to the virtual block storage directly to
|
|
bypass the vfs layer.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dd if=FLASH.bin of=<path of virtual block device> seek=4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Skip 4 sectors because the default sector size of the virtual device
|
|
and dd is 512 bytes and the emulated flash file starts at 5th sector.
|
|
|
|
## How to find the path of the virtual block device
|
|
|
|
After the keyboard boots into flash mode, on Linux system you should
|
|
be able to find the block device in `dmesg` logs.
|
|
|
|
For exmaple if you type
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo dmesg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should find something like
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
[357886.859528] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdx] Attached SCSI removable disk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `sdx` is the block device name and the full path is at `/dev/sdx`
|
|
The above flash command will become
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dd if=FLASH.bin of=/dev/sdx seek=4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Adafruit Bluefruit LE UART configuraton
|
|
|
|
The default baud rate used by the firmware is 76800 although adafruit
|
|
do not recommend using higher baudrates than 9600 because the nRF51
|
|
UART can drop characters.
|
|
|
|
Double speed mode to get more accurate async reading because the F_CPU
|
|
speed is 8MHz.
|
|
|
|
## Power saving mode design
|
|
|
|
Power saving is only enabled when USB is detached and using battery
|
|
power. Here we define several levels of power saving mode, each saves
|
|
more power but takes longer to resume operation.
|
|
|
|
1. Level 1: idle mode is activated after a short configurable time
|
|
(MATRIX_POWER_SAVE_TIMEOUT_MS) MCU is put into sleep mode and only
|
|
scan the matrix per 15ms. PORTB pins are set to input with pull-up
|
|
to save power. Sensing PCB is powered down between scans.
|
|
|
|
2. Level 2: after idling for longer (MATRIX_POWER_SAVE_TIMEOUT_L2_MS)
|
|
we entry this state. Matrix scan is skipped until the time lapses
|
|
900ms.
|
|
|
|
2. Level 3: sleep mode is activated after a longer timeout
|
|
(MATRIX_POWER_SAVE_TIMEOUT_L3_MS) Bluetooth module is powered down.
|
|
|
|
## Battery reading
|
|
|
|
VBAT is connected to AIN6 pin on the MDBT40 module and the AREF pin is
|
|
the reference voltage. Doing a ADC with AT+HWDAC=6 will return the
|
|
difference between VBAT and VREF.
|
|
|
|
It seems when fully charged the ADC read is 550. Likely VREF is 3311mV
|
|
and the fully charged VBAT is thus 3861mV.
|
|
|
|
Enable battery service with AT+BLEBATTEN=1 first then we can update the
|
|
battery level by using AT+BLEBATTVAL=%d
