Using WebUSB tools

This directory contains command line tools for use with your badge.

To use them, you will need to pip install pyusb.

Application management

The AppFS contains binary ESP32 apps - standalone firmwares that can be booted and used as apps.

app_list.py

Lists all apps on the AppFS.

app_push.py {file} {name} {title} {version} [--run]

Installs an ESP32 app to the AppFS. The --run flag will also immediately start the app after installing.

app_pull.py {name} {target}

Downloads the ESP32 app binary to your computer, the file will be saved at the location provided as target.

app_run.py {name}

Boots an ESP32 app with the specified name.

webusb_remove.py {app_name}

Removes an ESP32 app from the AppFS.

FAT filesystem

filesystem_list.py [path] [--recursive]

Returns a directory listing for the specified path.

filesystem_push.py {name} {target}

Uploads file {name} to location {target} on the filesystem of the badge. target should always start with /internal or /sd and the target path should always end with a filename.

filesystem_pull.py {name} {target}

Downloads file {name} from the filesystem of the badge to location {target} on your computer. name should always start with /internal or /sd and the path should always end with a filename.

filesystem_remove.py {name}

Removes a file or a directory from the filesystem of the badge. In case of a directory the directory is removed recursively. name should always start with /internal or /sd.

filesystem_create_directory.py {name}

Creates a directory on the filesystem of the badge. name should always start with /internal or /sd.

filesystem_exists.py {name}

Checks if a file exists on the filesystem of the badge. name should always start with /internal or /sd.

Configuration management

configuration_list.py [namespace]

Lists all configuration entries in the NVS partition of the badge. The optional namespace argument allows for filtering the results, returning only the entries in the provided namespace.

configuration_read.py {namespace} {key} {type}

Reads the value of a configuration entry with key {key} in namespace {namespace}. Valid types are u8 (8-bit unsigned integer), i8 (8-bit signed integer), u16 (16-bit unsigned integer), i16 (16-bit signed integer), u32 (32-bit unsigned integer), i32 (32-bit signed integer), u64 (64-bit unsigned integer), i64 (64-bit signed integer), string (a text string) and blob (binary data).

Note that reading entries of type blob will output raw binary data to stdout. You might want to pipe the output to another program (python configuration_read.py example example blob | xxd) or to a file (python configuration_read.py example example blob > data.bin).

configuration_write.py {namespace} {key} {type} [value]

Writes the value of a configuration entry with key {key} in namespace {namespace}. Valid types are u8 (8-bit unsigned integer), i8 (8-bit signed integer), u16 (16-bit unsigned integer), i16 (16-bit signed integer), u32 (32-bit unsigned integer), i32 (32-bit signed integer), u64 (64-bit unsigned integer), i64 (64-bit signed integer), string (a text string) and blob (binary data).

The value can either be provided using optional command line argument [value] or by writing a value to stdin (echo "test" | python configuration_write.py owner nickname string). Writing to stdin can also be used for storing binary data to a configuration entry of type blob.

configuration_remove.py {namespace} {key}

Removes a configuration entry with key {key} in namespace {namespace} from the NVS partition.

FPGA

fpga.py {filename} [bindings]

Loads a bit stream from a file into the FPGA. This tool also allows for uploading and presenting files to the FPGA via the SPI interface that connects the FPGA to the ESP32.

Other

exit.py

Reboots the badge, exiting webusb mode.

information.py

Returns usage information about the FAT filesystems and the AppFS filesystem
