Tamago

This is a tamagotchi project (hence name) to try to build from scratch, based on the raspberry pi pico w

It depends on the pico sdk and pico-extras. Since version 2.0.0 of the pico sdk it also depends on having picotool installed. Here we assume they were cloned at the same level as this repository.

Requirements

1. Install CMake (at least version 3.13), and GCC cross compiler

sudo apt install cmake gcc-arm-none-eabi libnewlib-arm-none-eabi libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-newlib

2. Usual build instructions

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DPICO_BOARD=pico_w
make

3. tamago.elf can be loaded via a debugger, or tamago.uf2 can be dragged and dropped holding bootsel button when plugging the pico

Images to display

1. To get the source files to display they must first be converted to a 4 bits color scale (16 colors) bmp (using gimp: Image > Mode > Indexed)

2. Then convert the images to header files using for example bmp2src and convert using sh bmp2src image.bmp > image.h
