# PSoC6 port

This port is intended to run on Infineon PSoC™ 6 microcontrollers.

## Pre-requisites
 
The following port is using Infineon ModusToolbox™ to resolve the specific PSoC™ board resources and building flags. Before working with micropython:

1. Install [ModusToolbox](https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/design-support/tools/sdk/modustoolbox-software/). Minimum version required is 3.0.

2. Run the following script from MicroPython repository root to add the required tools to the system PATH, and install the udev rules:

    source tools/psoc6/dev-setup.sh && toolchain_setup

If the ModusToolbox™ has not been installed in the default path (`~/ModusToolbox`), add the path as positional argument of the `toolchain_setup` function:

    source tools/psoc6/dev-setup.sh && toolchain_setup [mtb_path]

## Building and running Linux version

As we are working on the ports-psoc6-main branch (for now), first checkout that branch after cloning this repo:

    git checkout --track origin/ports-psoc6-main

Then initialize the ModusToolbox™ environment: 

    make mtb_init BOARD=<board-name>

Retrieve submodules:

    make submodules
    
Build the firmware:

    make 

To build and program the device:

    make program

Find more information about the available makefile targets:

    make help


# Run micropython

Use any serial terminal (putty, minicom..) and establish a session with your device with 115200 bauds and 8-N-1 configuration.
