Yocto seems to be a common choice for these small boards. Anyone know of an idiots guide to getting started with it?

Hi Mike!

Thanks for the review!

That does look like a very impressive platform, and tiny! It seems very feature-packed from those specs.

The combination with the Cortex-M4 sounds neat too, to offload time-critical stuff.

Perfect,

I've managed it get the PiFace RTC Shim running on my RPi 3 by following the above instructions , the only additions I made were to add the follwing line to my my /boot/config.txt file:

dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,mcp7941x

Then enabling the Device Tree option from within the advanced tab using the sudo raspi-config command.

Thank you so much making this post, it helped a lot.

Cheers

Mark

I never got around to writing a decent RDS decoder. Anyone have one?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for making it look easy! It does seem a fun thing to try.. I might try this project sometime.

I've used another NXP part in the past (TEF6600 series which is their automotive entertainment line) which too uses I2C and is relatively easy to use, but they are not great at publishing all documentation online : ( nor easy to obtain the parts.
