Power¶

The RedBear Nano 2 can be powered via the USB connector of the companion DAP Link adapter or with an external power supply.

Connect, Virtualize and Program¶

The RedBear Nano 2 can be programmed through the companion DAP Link adapter that exposes three USB interfaces:

• A serial port over USB
• A mass storage device for drag-n-drop programming flash memory
• A DAP compliant debug channel

DAP Link should be supported natively by all platforms. Once connected to a USB port, the RedBear Nano 2 + DAP Link board is recognized by Zerynth Studio. The board can be virtualized by clicking the related Studio button without requiring any other user intervention.

Follow these steps to uplink a Zerynth script on a virtualized RedBear Nano 2:

• Select the Nano 2 on the Device Management Toolbar;
• Register the device by clicking the “Z” button from the Zerynth Studio;
• Create a Virtual Machine for the device by clicking the “Z” button for the second time;
• Virtualize the device by clicking the “Z” button for the third time.

After virtualization, the device is ready to be programmed and the Zerynth scripts uploaded. Just Select the virtualized device from the “Device Management Toolbar” and click the dedicated “upload” button of Zerynth Studio and reset the device by pressing the Reset on-board button when asked.
