Feature Ideas

• Obtain all firmware versions from github releases API
• Serial upload (user select port, attempt autodetect)
• ISP upload (user select programmer)
• Test receive RF using connected JeeLink or RFM69Pi, auto detect?
• Unit test options for each hardware unit
• Serial monitor with baud rate auto detect
• Independent of system and paths -- Python / Ruby command line based can be installed on any system e.g. pi, linux server, windows etc.
• Ability to easily add more hardware units just add github repo API to a textile

Firmware from GitHub releases

• Obtain repos releases URL from text file
• Check at startup for latest firmware and download all releases
• Display firmware version and date from github
• Display last checked time
• Periodically (at night) check for new firmware
• GitHub Releases API

Questions

• Is is possible to obtain both serial and ISP firmware from github?
• How to detect ISP firmware?
• Can PlatformIO avrdude be used to upload (easier install and cross platform compatibility)?
• Can ISP firmware be generated in the cloud using TravisCI from serial firmware?

Firmware naming ideas

• emontx.hex
• emontx-isp.hex

ISP Upload

• Check last three characters for isp to indicate and ISP firmware (including bootloder)
• If ISP firmware for that version cannot be found try previous version ISP firmware

Unit Testing Ideas

• Test LED
• Test for RFM69CW presence
• Test for ADC 0 for emonTx CT inputs
• Test presence of SI7021 SPI temperature & humidity sensor

Example Operation

$ emonupload serial -b emontx -v 1.3 -t -v`
$ emonupload update

-- board
-- version
-- test
-- verbose
