Flowcode supports the Raspberry Pi range of hardware. Currently the Pi2 and Pi3 models are supported.


Most components in Flowcode should work with the Raspberry Pi hardware as is allowing you to do a lot with the Raspberry Pi GPIO header. Supported peripherals include general purpose I/O, I2C, PWM, SPI and UART.


Also built into Flowcode is a TCP/IP component allowing you to communicate via the Ethernet and Wifi network connections which vastly simplifies the job of creating IoT type applications.


With a RPI target selected the Project Options -> General Options tab adds extra parameters to allow you to specify the Raspberry Pi IP address, Username and Password. If these parameters are setup correctly then when you perform a compile to chip the Pi will be programmed and automatically start running the Flowcode program.

An E-block 2 board is also available ([https://www.matrixtsl.com/webshop/catalogsearch/result/index/?mode=grid&q=BL0036 BL0136]) which provides Ghost Technology (ICD / ICT) debugging support. An E-blocks 1 compatible board is also available ([http://www.matrixtsl.com/webshop/raspberry-pi-expansion-module-with-cable.html EB380]).
