Support for the SeeedStudio SenseCAP T1000-E

Tip

When using this board with RIOT, set the BOARD variable to seeedstudio-sensecap-t1000e in your Makefile. If you follow the standard RIOT project structure, your Makefile should look like this:

./Makefile

# name of your application
APPLICATION = hello-world

# Change this to your board if you want to build for a different board
BOARD ?= seeedstudio-sensecap-t1000e

# This has to be the absolute path to the RIOT base directory:
RIOTBASE ?= $(CURDIR)/RIOT

include $(RIOTBASE)/Makefile.include

• Semtech LR1110 LoRa transceiver
• Mediatek AG3335 GNSS module
• QMA6100P 3-axis accelerometer
• NTC temperature sensor
• Light sensor
• Buzzer
• 1 user button
• 1 LED
• LiPo battery support with charging detection

Flashing the Device

The T1000-E ships with the Adafruit nRF52 Bootloader, you can find flashing instructions Adafruit nRF52 Bootloader section.

DFU mode must be entered manually before flashing. Follow the SeeedStudio instructions to put the device in DFU mode, then run:

BOARD=seeedstudio-sensecap-t1000e make -C examples/basic/hello-world flash

Note: Accessing the SWD pads requires opening the device enclosure. Overwriting the bootloader via SWD would make UF2 flashing unavailable and is not recommended for normal use.

Accessing STDIO

By default, stdio uses UART_DEV(1) (P0.16/P0.17). UART_DEV(0) is reserved for the GNSS module. Connect a USB-to-UART adapter to P0.16 (TX) and P0.17 (RX) to access the terminal.

To use USB CDC ACM (virtual serial port over the existing USB cable) instead, you can add USEMODULE+=stdio_cdc_acm to your application’s Makefile or to the compiler call:

USEMODULE=stdio_cdc_acm BOARD=seeedstudio-sensecap-t1000e make -C examples/basic/hello-world flash term
