Run arduino code on Airlift

Post by richardf »

My teensy 4 and AirLift coprocessor board work great through SPI.

The Airlift comes programmed with a modified WifiNina

Can I load additional code onto the AirLift coprocessor board so that it not only sends and receives data
but also serializes/deserializes json (for example ArduinoJson).

Perhaps using Serial Passthrough code on the Teensy through RXi TXo?

If so, how?

@richardf,

I've not seen any guide info on how to make use of the Co-processor on the external Airlift to do more passthrough and it's intended WiFi functionality.

This is the closest we have in terms of details as to how to upload code to the ESP and burn nina-fw.

It's possible but would require fairly intense modification of the nina-firmware (https://github.com/adafruit/nina-fw/) which runs on the AirLift, and then flashing it via the guide linked by mikeysklar.

We have no plans to add this functionality but would gladly accept a pull request (see: https://github.com/adafruit/nina-fw/pul ... s%3Aclosed)
