Adding a New Board

Config.h

  1. Add the name of your new board using a #define at the top of the file:

    #define AK_Board_V0_4 3

  2. Change the current board to your new board if you intend to use it immediately. This helps ensure all changes function properly.

    #define BOARD_VERSION AK_Board_V0_4 3

ParseIni.h

Note

This file is not currently used but should be updated for future-proofing.

  1. In config_def::board_name, add your board’s name if it’s different from existing ones.

  2. In config_def::board_version, add your board version if it’s not currently present.

  3. In config_map::board_name, specify how the new board name should be referenced in the INI file.

  4. In config_map::board_version, specify how the new version should be referenced in the INI file.

Board.h

  1. Use an #if defined(YOUR_BOARD_NAME_AND_VERSION) block to define the connections on your board.

  2. Following the format of existing boards, assign pins and behavior for your microcontroller components:

    • You should have both a logic_micro_pins namespace and a coms_micro_pins namespace.

    • Avoid straying too far from the existing structure to prevent potential issues.

Done!!

Once you’ve updated these files, your new board should be recognized and configurable within the system.
