PM-Board

Embedded development board with ATmega324P

This is a development board supporting the ATmega324P microcontroller. It is fully Arduino-compatible and it comes with the following features:

• LSM9DS0 9-axis inertial sensor (accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer)
• MPL3115 baro-altimeter sensor
• Ambient temperature and light sensors
• 128x160 ST7735 color LCD display with SD card reader
• RGB LED
• 16x02 character LCD display
• GPIO LEDs and pushbuttons
• JTAG and ISP connectors
• USB programming and data interface

Repository Contents

• /Hardware - Eagle design files (.brd, .sch)
• /Images - Board images
• /bin - Binaries (board bootloader)

Programming

avr-gcc & Makefile

Bootloader

The board comes pre-loaded with a bootloader. If you need to re-write it, connect an AVR-ISP or JTAG to the corresponding port and burn the bootloader .hex file with atmega324p as a target and the following fuse settings:

Fuse	Value
HIGH	0xDA
LOW	0xD7
EXT	0XFD

Writing a simple Hello World

Install avr-gcc on your machine. There are various tutorials on how to do this. Here are some examples, depending on your OS type:

• Windows
• Linux
• Mac

Copy this code into your favourite code editor and save the file as "hello.c":

#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay.h>
 
int main() {
	/* Setting PC0 as output */
	DDRC |= (1 << PC0);
 
	while(1) {
                /* Toggle pin state */
		PORTC ^= (1 << PC0);
 
                _delay_ms(500);
	}
 
	return 0;
}

To build and upload, you can use the following Makefile. Edit the port to correspond with your OS and serial port name:

# Linux
PORT ?= /dev/ttyUSB0
# Windows
# PORT ?= COM1
 
all: hello.hex
 
hello.hex: hello.elf
	avr-objcopy  -j .text -j .data -O ihex $^ $@
	avr-size hello.elf
 
hello.elf: hello.c
	avr-g++ -mmcu=atmega324p -DF_CPU=12000000 -Os -Wall -o $@ $^
 
upload: hello.hex
	avrdude -c urclock -P $(PORT) -b 57600 -p atmega324p -D -xnometadata -U flash:w:$<:a
 
clean:
	rm -rf hello.elf hello.hex

From your command line call > make all (generates hello.hex) and then > make upload.

Arduino

The board can be programmed using Mighty-Core.

Follow the "How to install" guide on their github page and use the following settings when burning the bootloader and uploading a sketch:
