Software Development

Introduction …

The Badge is basically an ESP32C6 development platform and features the following methods for developing software:

Stock firmware build-IDF : native EPS apps using the IDF (IoT Development Framework)
ESP-IDF with Platformio : Use the HH2024 badge as a generic dev board.
EspHome: The easy way to program devices for Home-Assistant.

The badge also has a coprossor for extra IO.

See more information below.

Regardless of the way you’re going to program the badge, to connect to the badge over USB from Linux, do the following.

Create /etc/udev/rules.d/99-mch2022.rules with the following contents:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="16d0", ATTR{idProduct}=="0f9a", MODE="0666"

Then run the following commands to apply the new rule:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger

Not tested.

You can find the official firmware here: https://github.com/badgeteam/hackerhotel-2024-firmware-esp32c6 You can build and upload the original firmware by cloning the archive and using the following commands:

make prepare
make build
make install

If you want to make some modifications check out this page on modifying the standard firmware. To try as a first hack.

Jhaand ported the Hello World application for ESP-IDF to Platformio and made it easy to put your own program on the HH2024 badge with ESP-IDF.

This will only put some information on the UART /dev/ttyACM0 at 115200 and restart.

SqyD started integrating the HH2024 badge into ESPhome. Which makes things easy to integrate with Home-Assistant domotics.

It displays a Hello Badge Team! on the display.
