Arduino UNO Q Development Workflow

Complete development setup for Arduino UNO Q with MCU (Arduino) and MPU (Linux/Python) support.

Files Created

main.py - Python application for MPU (Linux side)
setup_ssh.sh - SSH configuration script
build.sh - Arduino CLI build script for MCU
upload.sh - Deployment script for both MCU and MPU
package.json - Updated with build/deploy scripts

Setup Instructions

1. Initial SSH Setup

npm run setup

This configures SSH key authentication for file transfer to the Arduino UNO Q.

2. Build and Deploy

# Build the Arduino sketch for MCU
npm run build

# Upload both MCU sketch and Python script to MPU
npm run upload

# Or do both in one command
npm run deploy

3. Management Commands

# Check service status
npm run status

# View live logs
npm run logs

# Restart the Python application
npm run restart

# Stop the application
npm run stop

Architecture

MCU (STM32U585)

Runs Arduino sketches
Handles real-time operations
Compiled via Arduino CLI
Uploaded via USB/serial

MPU (Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210)

Runs Debian Linux
Executes Python applications
Communicates with MCU via Bridge library
Managed via SSH

Communication

Python app uses named pipes (/tmp/unoq_cmd.pipe)
Status updates via JSON file (/tmp/unoq_status.json)
Bridge library for MCU-MPU communication

Usage

Connect Arduino UNO Q via USB-C
Run setup: npm run setup
Edit your code in src/main.ino and main.py
Deploy: npm run deploy
Monitor: npm run logs

The Python application will start automatically and communicate with the Arduino sketch via the Bridge library.
