Alif Security Toolkit

This board can be programmed via the SE UART interface using the Alif Security Toolkit. MicroPython uses a custom version of the toolkit, which can be downloaded from here or cloned:

bash

git clone https://github.com/micropython/alif-security-toolkit/

Update the SE Firmware (Optional)

If needed, update the SE firmware to match the version used by MicroPython. Ensure you have the correct port, part number, and chip revision.

bash

python alif-security-toolkit/toolkit/updateSystemPackage.py --port /dev/ttyACM0 --cfg-part AE722F80F55D5LS --cfg-rev B4

Note: The board must be power-cycled after this step.

Deploy MicroPython

Download (or build) the firmware package, unzip it, then deploy it:

bash


python alif-security-toolkit/toolkit/app-write-mram.py --port /dev/ttyACM0 --cfg-part AE722F80F55D5LS --cfg-rev B4 --pad --images file:build-ALIF_ENSEMBLE/application_package.ds

The MicroPython REPL is available on the second USB serial port, eg /dev/ttyACM1.
