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.

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.
