Running Hello_world application ( based on Zephyr RTOS ) on Arduino Due

By -
Zephyr Project goal is to build a best-in-breed small, scalable, real-time operation system (RTOS) for variety of IoT devices, such as X86 boards (Arduino 101, Galileo, Intel Quark D2000 development board,..), ARM boards (96Boards, Arduino Due, CC3200 LauchXL, Curie, NXP FRDM, ST Nucleo,...) ARC Boards, NIOS II Boards, XTENSA Boards.

In this post, we test a Hello_world application ( based on Zephyr RTOS ) on Arduino Due

Requirement

- Host Computer: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit
- Device: Arduino Due

1. Setup development environment


- Update your OS

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
 
 
- Install requirements

$ sudo apt-get install git make gcc g++ python3-ply ncurses-dev \
      python3-yaml python2.7 dfu-util

- Install the Zephyr SDK
  * Download the latest SDK self-extractable binary.

$ wget https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/meta-zephyr-sdk/releases/download/0.9.1/zephyr-sdk-0.9.1-setup.run

  * Run the installation binary
  

$ chmod +x zephyr-sdk-0.9.1-setup.run
$ ./zephyr-sdk-0.9.1-setup.run
* To use the Zephyr SDK, export the following environment variables and use the target location where SDK was installed, type:

$ export ZEPHYR_GCC_VARIANT=zephyr
$ export ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/zephyr-sdk/
 

2. Download Zephyr project


$ git clone https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr.git
 

3. Building a Hello_World Application


$ export ZEPHYR_GCC_VARIANT=zephyr
$ export ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/zephyr-sdk/
$ cd zephyr 
$ source zephyr-env.sh
$ cd samples/hello_world
$ make BOARD=arduino_due
 
After building an application successfully, the results can be found in the
samples/hello_world/outdir/arduino_due

4. Flashing the Zephyr kernel onto Arduino Due

Flashing the Zephyr kernel onto Arduino Due requires the bossa tool.
Install BOSSA tool

$ sudo apt install bossa-cli
 
Make sure that you are in the directory /samples/hello_world

Connect the Arduino Due to your host computer using the programming port.
Press the Erase button for more than 220 ms.
Press the Reset button so the board will boot into the SAM-BA bootloader.
$ bossac -p ttyACM0 -e -w -v -b outdir/arduino_due/zephyr.bin
 

5. Check for the output

 
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
 
Press the Reset button and you should see “Hello World!” in your terminal.

Previous post:  Get started with Python Flask Framework on IBM Bluemix  Flask-Moment is an extension for Flask applications that integrates  moment.js into Jinja2 templates. Flask-Moment is installed with pip    For locally:   $ pip install flask-moment     For Bluemix:   In  requirements.txt  add:   Flask-moment==0.5.1   In  hello.py : Initialize Flask-Moment    from flask_moment import Moment  moment= Moment (app)    Add  moment.js  into base template base.html  In  templates/base.html : Import  moment.js  library    {% block  scripts %}  {{ super() }}  {{ moment.include_moment() }}  {% endblock  %}     To work with timestamps Flask-Moment makes a moment class available to templates. In hello.py passes a variable called current_time to the template for rendering.  In  hello.py : Add a datetime variable.    from  datetime import  datetime @app.route('/')  def  index () :  return  render_template( 'index.html' , current_time=datetime.utcnow())   Render current_time in t

My latest publication: Environment monitoring system for agricultural application based on wireless sensor network

 This paper proposes an Internet of Thing system architecture based on  Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for agricultural applications. The system  consists of sensor nodes and a gateway, which allows a user to monitor  environmental data for agriculture using a web browser. The sensor node  is a microcontroller based Arduino including wireless module and  connected sensors such as temperature, relative humidity, luminosity,  air pressure and other sensors. A WiFi interface is deployed to exchange  the environmental information from sensor nodes to the gateway running  Linux. The gateway manages and transfers data to a Cloud where data were  stored and visualized as graphs.  For more infomation: https://goo.gl/zhRQze

OpenHab2 - MQTT binding demo

 OpenHab2 - MQTT binding demo    This demo demonstrates how to use MQTT binding addon in OpenHAB2 installed into Orange Pi zero. The idea is very basic. A switch is created on default sitemap. When you turn on the switch, it sends "ON" message to Topic  /office/light  via MQTT broker that is installed on Orange Pi. When you turn off the switch, it sends "OFF" message to Topic  /office/light .   Require   Openhab2   MQTT broker installed.    First, install MQTT binding via paperui   Define all the brokers which you want to connect to, in your  services/mqtt.cfg  file.  cd /etc/openhab2/services  sudo nano mqtt .cfg     Edit the file as follow  # # Define your MQTT broker connections here for use  in  the MQTT Binding or  MQTT # Persistence bundles. Replace  <broker> with  an ID you choose . #  # URL to  the MQTT broker, e.g. tcp://localhost: 1883  or  ssl://localhost: 8883  mosquitto.url=tcp://localhost: 1883   # Optional. Client id ( max  23  chars) to  use  w
