wasp-os status

[erikzoltan]

I'm trying to install wasp-os without much success. It doesn't look like the project is very current, but it's an attractive alternative because everything is written in Python. I'm going to detail the steps I've taken and where it's going wrong.


I installed watchmate on my Linux system from the repositories. The repository version seems to be current. It works great, and I updated InfiniTime to version 1.13 without incident. Such an intuitive and easy to use program.


I installed the latest ARM gnu toolchain and added the 'bin' directory to my PATH environment variable.


I also used the following steps to download and build wasp-os. This is exactly what's shown in the installation guide and it works fine.

Code:

$ sudo apt install \
  wget git build-essential libsdl2-2.0-0 python3-click python3-gi \
  python3-numpy python3-pexpect python3-pil python3-pip python3-pydbus \
  python3-serial unzip
$ pip3 install --user cbor pysdl2 tomli
$ sudo apt install sphinx graphviz python3-recommonmark
# next step is redundant but I did it anyway
$ pip3 install --user -r wasp/requirements.txt

$ git clone https://github.com/wasp-os/wasp-os.git
$ cd wasp-os
$ make sim
$ make check
$ make submodules
$ make softdevice
$ make -j `nproc` BOARD=pinetime all
$ make docs

Everything so far works as advertised.



Then when I use watchmate to update the firmware (installing micropython.zip from the 'build-pinetime' directory) it uploads seamlessly. (This step doesn't work when I try to update the firmware with wasp-os-0.4.1.zip from the official distribution).



But now I still have InfiniTime and there is no sign of wasp-os on my PineTime watch!


Does anyone have advice about what I might be missing here? I've stumbled at the goal-line, and I assume I'm missing something obvious.
