A simple project as a template for creating rust applications for the Pine64 "Pinenut" BL602 Wifi/Bluetooth SoC. PineNut Devkits with included USB-C interface are also known as "PineCones".

Thanks to all the existing documentation and repos of other rust projects used in the basis of this.

Install rust and cargo with rustup

Install other dependencies;

rustup install nightly-2022-12-25
rustup component add llvm-tools-preview --toolchain nightly-2022-12-25
rustup target add riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf

cargo install cargo-binutils
cargo install --git https://github.com/spacemeowx2/blflash cargo-blflash

These commands add the required toolchain targets along with binary flashing for easy development (No need for GUIs anymore 😉).

For a simple compilation which will create a bl602-template.bin file ready for flashing

cargo objcopy --release -- -O binary bl602-template.bin

The preferred method is to use blflash directly with cargo. (I recommend picking a baudrate across all projects and sticking to it)

cargo blflash --release --initial-baud-rate 1000000 --baud-rate 1000000 --port COM3
