Attention
---------

Maixgo with openec firmware, BOARD must choose ``-B goE``, and should choose
sencond com port.

With cmsis-dap firmware(before 2019.02.21), BOARD must use ``-B goD``.

You can update `new cmsis-dap firmware <http://blog.sipeed.com/p/352.html>`__, it is same as openec.

For K210 Trainer V0.01b, BOARD must choose ``-B trainer``.

For KD233, BOARD must choose ``-B kd233``, and the jumper for kd233 automatic
download circuit must be set.

Installation
------------

If you installed as a root user, please try:

.. code:: bash

    sudo pip3 install --upgrade kflash

If you installed as a non root user, please try:

.. code:: bash

    pip install kflash --user --upgrade

And then add ``${HOME}/.local/bin`` to your ``${PATH}``, .e.g, in your ``.bashrc`` or ``.zshrc``.

.. code:: bash

    export PATH=${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}

If you got an error, please try

.. code:: bash

    sudo python -m pip install --upgrade kflash
    sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade kflash
    sudo pip install --upgrade kflash
    sudo pip2 install --upgrade kflash

For linux users, first of all, you must add yourself to dialout group.
Or you have to use root permission every time.

.. code:: bash

    sudo usermod -a -G dialout $(whoami)

For gentoo user

.. code:: bash

    sudo usermod -a -G uucp $(whoami)

Sample Usage
------------

.. code:: bash

    # Linux or macOS
    # Using pip
    kflash -B dan firmware.bin
    kflash -B dan -t firmware.bin # Open a Serial Terminal After Finish
    # Using source code
    python3 kflash.py -B dan firmware.bin
    python3 kflash.py -B dan -t firmware.bin # Open a Serial Terminal After Finish

    # Windows CMD or PowerShell
    # Using pip
    kflash -B dan firmware.bin
    kflash -B dan -t firmware.bin # Open a Serial Terminal After Finish
    kflash -B dan -n -t firmware.bin # Open a Serial Terminal After Finish, do not use ANSI colors
    # Using source code
    python kflash.py -B dan firmware.bin
    python kflash.py -B dan -t firmware.bin # Open a Serial Terminal After Finish
    python kflash.py -B dan -n -t firmware.bin # Open a Serial Terminal After Finish, do not use ANSI colors

    # Windows Subsystem for Linux
    # Using pip
    sudo kflash -B dan -p /dev/ttyS13 firmware.bin # ttyS13 Stands for the COM13 in Device Manager
    sudo kflash -B dan -p /dev/ttyS13 -t firmware.bin # Open a Serial Terminal After Finish
    # Using source code
    sudo python3 kflash.py -B dan -p /dev/ttyS13 firmware.bin # ttyS13 Stands for the COM13 in Device Manager
    sudo python3 kflash.py -B dan -p /dev/ttyS13 -t firmware.bin # Open a Serial Terminal After Finish

For fast programming,

.. code:: bash

    # Using pip
    # This will enable opoenec super-baudrate!
    kflash -b 4500000 -B goE firmware.bin
    # Trainer could use 8000000 baudrate!
    kflash -b 8000000 -B trainer firmware.bin
    # Dan could use 3000000 baudrate!
    kflash -b 3000000 -B dan firmware.bin

    # Using source code
    # This will enable opoenec super-baudrate!
    python3 kflash.py -b 4500000 -B goE firmware.bin
    # Trainer could use 8000000 baudrate!
    python3 kflash.py -b 8000000 -B trainer firmware.bin
    # Dan could use 3000000 baudrate!
    python3 kflash.py -b 3000000 -B dan firmware.bin

Execute user code directly in SRAM and view in serial terminal,

.. code:: bash

    # Using pip
    # For `.elf` file
    kflash -b 115200 -B goE -s -t hello_world
    # For `.bin` file
    kflash -b 115200 -B goE -s -t hello_world.bin

    # Using source code
    # For `.elf` file
    python3 kflash.py -b 115200 -B goE -s -t hello_world
    # For `.bin` file
    python3 kflash.py -b 115200 -B goE -s -t hello_world.bin

Erase flash before download firmware, use -e (--erase) option to do chip erase before download firmware,
or use the erase command to erase a specific address and length without download firmware.

.. code:: bash

    python3 kflash.py -e -B bit -b 1500000 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 hello_world.bin
    python3 kflash.py -b 115200 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 erase --addr 0x00011000 --length 0x1000

Select SPI I/O mode by use --iomode option.
dio is set flash mode to Dual SPI, the Dual SPI serial throughput rates reach around 20 Mbps.
qio is set flash mode to Quad SPI, the Quad SPI serial throughput rates reach around 40 Mbps.

Usually DIO mode has better compatibility and QIO mode has faster speed.
If you find that your k210 cannot boot, you can try DIO mode.

.. code:: bash

    python3 kflash.py -i dio -B bit -b 1500000 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 hello_world.bin
    python3 kflash.py -i qio -B bit -b 1500000 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 hello_world.bin

Trouble Shooting
----------------

Could not open port /dev/tty*: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/tty*'
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For Windows Subsystem for Linux, you may have to use sudo due to its docker
    like feature

-  Add your self to a dialout group to use usb-to-uart devices by

.. code:: bash

    sudo usermod -a -G dialout $(whoami)

-  Logout, and log in.

--------------

UART Auto Detecting is Not Working, or Select the Wrong UART Port
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Windows
~~~~~~~

-  Check the COM Number for your device at the Device Manager, such as
   **USB-SERIAL CH340(COM13)**.

.. code:: bash

    # Using pip, only need once when you install
    pip install kflash
    kflash -p COM13 firmware.bin
    # Or
    kflash.exe -p COM13 firmware.bin
    # Using source code
    python kflash.py -p COM13 firmware.bin

Windows Subsystem For Linux(WSL)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-  Check the COM Number for your device at the Device Manager, such as
   **USB-SERIAL CH340(COM13)**.

.. code:: bash

    # Using pip, only need once when you install
    sudo pip3 install kflash
    sudo kflash -p /dev/ttyS13 firmware.bin # You have to use *sudo* here
    # Using source code
    sudo python3 kflash.py -p /dev/ttyS13 firmware.bin # You have to use *sudo* here

Linux
~~~~~

-  Check the USB Device Name, Usually presented as ttyUSB\*

.. code:: bash

    ls /dev/ttyUSB*

-  It will print :

.. code:: bash

    $ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
    /dev/ttyUSB0
    /dev/ttyUSB2
    /dev/ttyUSB13

-  Choose the one you think belongs to your device, or you may try multimule
   names.

.. code:: bash

    # Using pip
    python3 kflash.py -p /dev/ttyUSB13 firmware.bin
    # Using source code
    kflash -p /dev/ttyUSB13 firmware.bin

macOS
~~~~~

-  Check the USB Device Name, Usually presented as cu.\*

.. code:: bash

    ls /dev/cu.*

-  It will print :

.. code:: bash

    $ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
    /dev/cu.wchusbserial1410
    /dev/cu.wchusbserial1437
    /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART2333

-  Choose the one you think belongs to your device, or you may try multimule
   names.

.. code:: bash

    # Using pip
    kflash -p /dev/cu.wchusbserial1410 firmware.bin
    # Using source code
    python3 kflash.py -p /dev/cu.wchusbserial1410 firmware.bin

You may unable to find the device even in the /dev, check the link below for
drivers
