Porting Mynewt to a new MCU¶
Porting Mynewt to a new MCU is not a difficult task if the core CPU architectures is already supported.
The depth of work depends on the amount of HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) support you need and provide in your port.
To get started:
Create a
hw/mcu/mymcu
directory wheremymcu
is the MCU you are porting to. Replace the namemymcu
with a description of the MCU you are using.Create a
hw/mcu/mymcu/variant
directory where the variant is the specific variant of the part you are usuing. Many MCU parts have variants with different capabilities (RAM, FLASH etc) or different pinouts. Replacevariant
with a description of the variant of the part you are using.Create a
hw/mcu/mymcu/variant/pkg.yml
file. Copy from another mcu and fill out the relevant informationCreate
hw/mcu/mymcu/variant/include
,hw/mcu/mymcu/variant/include/mcu
, andhw/mcu/mymcu/variant/src
directories to contain the code for your mcu.
At this point there are two main tasks to complete.
Implement any OS-specific code required by the OS
Implement the HAL functionality that you are looking for
