v7.0.0-beta.3+swan_r5

Beta release 3 of CircuitPython support for the Swan R5 board. 🎉

Changes

• UF2 bootloader
• CircuitPython bootloader compatibility

Installation Instructions

Bootloader Installation

• First download the tinuyuf2-swan_r5.bin file from this release.
• Then put your Swan R5 into boot mode by holding the BOOT button, while pressing and releasing the RESET button.
• Finally, run the command
  dfu-util -s 0x8000000:leave -a 0 -D tinyuf2-swan_r5.bin

After a few seconds you'll see a drive called SWANBOOT available. If you have previously installed the bootloader and don't see the SWANBOOT drive, double-tap the RESET button on the board to bring up the SWANBOOT drive.

CircuitPython Installation

NB: CircuitPython installation must be done after bootloader installation above. If you have not yet installed the bootloader, please do that now.

• Download the file circuitpython-swan_r5.uf2 from this page.
• Drag and Drop the downloaded file to the SWANBOOT drive on your computer

Your Swan will reset and the CIRCUITPY USB drive will appear. Happy hacking!
