# Teensy LC, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 support
|
||
|
||
These ARM Teensies are now supported through [ChibiOS](http://chibios.org).
|
||
|
||
## Installing the ARM toolchain
|
||
|
||
You'll need to install an ARM toolchain, there is now a nice documentation about the two AVR/ARM toolchain : https://docs.qmk.fm/getting_started_build_tools.html and you can just run `sudo util/install_dependencies.sh`.
|
||
This toolchain is used instead of `avr-gcc`, which is only for AVR chips. Naturally you'll also need the usual development tools (e.g. `make`), just as in the AVR setting.
|
||
|
||
You can find others way with the [gcc ARM embedded](https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded) website, or using your favourite package manager. After installing, you should be able to run `arm-none-eabi-gcc -v` in the command prompt and get sensible output.
|
||
|
||
## Installing ChibiOS
|
||
|
||
Next, you'll need ChibiOS. For Teensies, you'll need code from two repositories: [chibios-main](https://github.com/ChibiOS/ChibiOS) and [chibios-contrib](https://github.com/ChibiOS/ChibiOS).
|
||
|
||
### If you’re using git
|
||
|
||
Run `git submodule sync --recursive && git submodule update --init --recursive`. This will install ChibiOS and ChibiOS-Contrib in the `/lib/` directory.
|
||
|
||
### If you’re not using Git
|
||
|
||
If you're not using git, you can just download a [zip of chibios from here](https://github.com/ChibiOS/ChibiOS/archive/a7df9a891067621e8e1a5c2a2c0ceada82403afe.zip), unpack the zip, and rename/move the unpacked directory (named `ChibiOS-<long_hash_here>`) to `lib/chibios/chibios` (so that the file `lib/chibios/chibios/license.txt` exists). Now the same procedure with a [zip of chibios-contrib from here](https://github.com/ChibiOS/ChibiOS-Contrib/archive/e1311c4db6cd366cf760673f769e925741ac0ad3.zip): unpack and move `ChibiOS-Contrib-<long_hash_here>` to `lib/chibios/chibios-contrib`.
|
||
|
||
(If you're using git, you can just clone the two repos: [chibios](https://github.com/ChibiOS/ChibiOS) and [chibios-contrib](https://github.com/ChibiOS/ChibiOS-Contrib). However - be warned that things may be somewhat out-of-sync (updates at different rates), so you may need to hunt a bit for the right commits.)
|
||
|
||
(Why do we need chibios-contrib? Well, the main repo focuses on STM32 chips, and Freescale/NXP Kinetis chips are supported via the Contrib repository.)
|
||
|
||
This should be it. Running `make` in `keyboard/teensy_lc_onekey` should create a working firmware in `build/`, called `ch.hex`.
|
||
|
||
For more notes about the ChibiOS backend in TMK, see `tmk_core/protocol/chibios/README.md`.
|
||
|
||
## About this onekey example
|
||
|
||
It's set up for Teensy LC. To use 3.x, you'll need to edit the `Makefile` (and comment out one line in `mcuconf.h`). A sample makefile for Teensy 3.0 is provided as `Makefile.3.0`, can be used without renaming with `make -f Makefile.3.0`. Similarly for Teensy 3.2, there's `Makefile.3.2`.
|
||
|
||
## Credits
|
||
|
||
TMK itself is written by hasu, original sources [here](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard).
|
||
|
||
The USB support for Kinetis MCUs is due to RedoX. His ChibiOS fork is also [on github](https://github.com/RedoXyde/ChibiOS); but it doesn't include Teensy LC definitions.
|
||
|
||
## Features that are not implemented yet
|
||
|
||
Currently only the more fancy suspend features are not there (power saving during suspend). The rest should work fine (reports either way are welcome).

# Matrix programming notes
|
||
|
||
The notes below explain what commands can be used to examine and set the status of Teensy pins.
|
||
|
||
## ChibiOS pin manipulation basics
|
||
|
||
### Pins
|
||
|
||
Each pin sits on a "port", each of which comprises at most 32 individual pins.
|
||
So for instance "PTC5" from Kinetis manual/datasheet refers to port C (or GPIOA), pin 5. Most functions dealing with pins take 2 parameters which specify the pin -- the first being the port, the second being the pin number.
|
||
|
||
Within ChibiOS, there are definitions which simplify this a bit for the Teensies. `TEENSY_PINn_IOPORT` represents the port of the MCU's pin connected Teensy's PIN `n`, and `TEENSY_PINn` represents its MCU's pin number.
|
||
|
||
### Mode
|
||
|
||
A MCU pin can be in several modes. The basic command to set a pin mode is
|
||
|
||
palSetPadMode(TEENSY_PINn_IOPORT, TEENSY_PINn, PAL_MODE_INPUT_PULLUP);
|
||
|
||
The last parameter is the mode. For keyboards, the usual ones that are used are `PAL_MODE_INPUT_PULLUP` (input with a pullup), `PAL_MODE_INPUT_PULLDOWN` (input with a pulldown), `PAL_MODE_INPUT` (input floating, a.k.a. Hi-Z), `PAL_MODE_OUTPUT_PUSHPULL` (output in the Arduino sense -- can be then set HIGH or LOW).
|
||
|
||
### Setting
|
||
|
||
Pins are set HIGH (after they've been put into `OUTPUT_PUSHPULL` mode) by
|
||
|
||
palSetPad(TEENSY_PINn_IOPORT, TEENSY_PINn);
|
||
|
||
or set LOW by
|
||
|
||
palClearPad(TEENSY_PINn_IOPORT, TEENSY_PINn);
|
||
|
||
Toggling can be done with
|
||
|
||
palTogglePad(TEENSY_PINn_IOPORT, TEENSY_PINn);
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you can use
|
||
|
||
palWritePad(TEENSY_PINn_IOPORT, TEENSY_PINn, bit);
|
||
|
||
where `bit` is either `PAL_LOW` or `PAL_HIGH` (i.e. `0` or `1`).
|
||
|
||
### Reading
|
||
|
||
Reading pin status is done with
|
||
|
||
palReadPad(TEENSY_PINn_IOPORT, TEENSY_PINn);
|
||
|
||
The function returns either `PAL_HIGH` (actually `1`) or `PAL_LOW` (actually `0`).
|
||
|
||
### Further docs
|
||
|
||
All the commands that are available for pin manipulation through ChibiOS HAL are documented in [ChibiOS PAL driver docs](http://chibios.sourceforge.net/docs3/hal/group___p_a_l.html).
