Linux tool for the Mega Everdrive USB port thingy

Talks to a Mega Everdrive Core or Pro over its USB serial port.

Building

make

Usage

medtool -p <port> -m <mode> [-e]

-p is the serial port, usually /dev/ttyACM0.

-m picks what to do:

• terminal — bridge the everdrive fifo to a Unix socket at /tmp/medtool. Connect with minicom -D unix#/tmp/medtool. Characters printed from the MegaDrive side will show up in minicom and you can see characters into the fifo by typing. Code on the megadrive side can then collect it.
• vdc — read the voltage rails (5V, 2.5V, 1.2V, battery). wip.
• rtc — read the real-time clock. wip.

-e echoes incoming serial data to stdout when in terminal mode.
