(10/4) Weekly Update: David

This week was a lot of actually getting stuff working. All of our parts came in so I deep dived into the embedded side of things. The hardest part was trying to get a working toolchain to program the STM32. I had to make major modifications to the 18349 toolchain in order to account for different memory maps, architecture, and standard libraries so that the device could be successfully flashed. Additionally, there were quirks with the values upon reset that differed from the class’s STM32s that led to some major debugging. Afterwards, I set to work on getting UART working so that I could have some source of debug output. Fortunately, that did not prove to be that difficult of a task. Additionally, I set up the Raspberry Pi Zero W so that Shivi could work on the device remotely for her CV work. This upcoming week, I intend to have wifi scanning working through SPI as well as enabling external interrupts through circuit completion.
