User Manual

To use these Python tools, you will need to have Python available on your system (which OS X does by default), but

you will also need a few additional libraries to make the python scripts work.

Running the following command from the command line will install these dependencies:

Testing the Installation

You can test if Python is setup correctly by going to the '/tools/source' folder in the WICED Feather BSP and running

the following command with the WICED Feather connected:

This should display something resembling the following output:

Optional: Install AdaLink

If you ever need to reflash the USB DFU bootloader on the WICED Feather (which will require either a Segger J-

Link (https://adafru.it/e9G) or an STLink/V2 (http://adafru.it/2548)), you will also need to install a utility called

AdaLink (https://adafru.it/fPq).

Depending on your system setup you may need to run the pip commands with 'sudo'

# On versions of OS X from 10.11.5 onward run ...

sudo pip install pyusb

sudo pip install click

# On versions of 0S X before 10.11.5 run ...

sudo pip install --pre pyusb

sudo pip install click

If you get an error like '-bash: pip: command not found' you can install pip via 'sudo easy_install pip'

As of BSP release 0.6.5 and higher the feather_dfu Python tool has been converted to a binary tool called

wiced_dfu, and the section below should only be followed on earlier versions of the BSP. Version 0.6.5 and

higher ship with pre-compiled versions of wiced_dfu, or you can build the binary yourself using the makefile

in the tools/wiced_dfu folder.

$ cd tools/source/feather_dfu

$ python feather_dfu.py info
