How to adapt Core code to Core2?



  • Hi

    I have some code that compiles and runs fine for Core
    So I replaced M5Stack.h with M5core.h and compiled it for the Core2 and downloaded.
    But it just keeps rebooting.

    Here's what I get in the serial window. Any suggestions on what is wrong and needs to be adapted to make Core-code work in a Core2?

  • Hello @Thomasx

    my best guess (w/o knowing the actual code you wish to compile) is that some GPIOs need to be adapted from M5Stack to M5Core2. This table might help you.

    The Error lines in your log file might give you some hints as well:

    E (1455) ledc: ledc_channel_config(369): gpio_num argument is invalid
    E (3029) rmt: rmt_set_gpio(526): RMT GPIO ERROR
    E (3029) rmt: rmt_config(686): set gpio for RMT driver failed
    

    Thanks

  • @felmue

    Yes, but since none of these function calls reside in my code, but (I assume) in libraries, I would have expected this to be handled by using M5Core2.h and choosing the correct target in the IDE.

    I can't see what else to change, other than replacing some libraries, but what to replace, and with what, in that case.



  • Hello @Thomasx

    sorry to disappoint you, but sadly not every library has been written in a way that it can automatically adapt to a new product. Or sometimes the init() or begin() functions need to be provided with different parameters to account for a specific product which doesn't use default values. And I am afraid in some cases you have to directly modify the library yourself to make it work with a specific product.

    Thanks
