User manual

Building

This project was built with STM32CubeIDE, which normally only works with ST MCUs. In the hax/ directory you'll find replacement files to place over STM32CubeIDE v1.21.1 and v1.13.0. This has only been tested with v1.12.1.

Downloads for STM32CubeIDE:

Use a J-Link to debug and program.. If you want to get shady with it, you can flash F103 blue pill with an OB firmware containing a modified date code. Check the internet for pinouts.

Using the bootloader

Activate the bootloader by holding down the PROG button on the badge while turning on. Use your favorite terminal to connect to the badge using the VCP at 115200-8-N-1.

Send a firmware.bin file via XMODEM to update. Do NOT send .hex files, they won't work.

Ensure the firmware you send is built with the bootloader target in mind. The uploaded binary will start at 0x8000800 in Flash.
