# Navigation Service
## Introduction
The navigation ble service provides 4 characteristics to allow the the watch to display navigation instructions from a companion application. The intended purpose is when performing some outdoor activities, for example running or cycling.

# Build a stub for PineTime using NRF52-DK
[NRF52-DK](https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Kits/nRF52-DK) is the official developpment kit for NRF52832 SoC from Nordic Semiconductor.
[NRF52-DK](https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Kits/nRF52-DK) is the official developpment kit for the NRF52832 SoC from Nordic Semiconductor used in the PineTime.
It can be very useful for PineTime development:
* You can use it embedded JLink SWD programmer/debugger to program and debug you code on the PineTime
* As it's based on the same SoC than the PineTime, you can program it to actually run the same code than the PineTime.

This page is about the 2nd point : we will build a stub that will allow us to run the same code than the one you could run on the PineTime. This will allow you to work more easily if you don't have a PineTime dev kit around, if you don't want to modify your dev kit for SWD programming, or if you want to use some feature from the DK (like power measurement).

- an on-chip display data RAM that can store the whole framebuffer
- partial screen update
- hardware assisted vertical scrolling

The bootloader reads a boot logo from the external SPI flash memory. The first step consists of flashing a tool in the MCU that will flash the boot logo into this SPI flash memory. This first step is optional but recommended (the bootloader will display garbage on screen for a few second if you don't do it).
Using your SWD tool, flash **pinetime-graphics-x.y.z.bin** at offset **0x0000**. Reset the MCU and wait for a few second, until the logo is completely drawn on the display.

Reading from the heart rate characteristic yields two bytes of data. I am not sure of the function of the first byte. It appears to always be zero. The second byte can be converted to an unsigned 8-bit integer which is the current heart rate. This characteristic also allows notify for updates as the value changes.

# OpenOCD and STLink
OpenOCD (**Open O**n **C**hip **D**ebugger) is an open source tool that interfaces with many SWD/JTAG debugger to provide debugging and *in-system* programming for embedded target devices.
It supports the **NRF52** (the CPU of the PineTime) and the **STLinkV2**, a cheap SWD debugger.

We will build OpenOCD from sources, as packages from Linux distributions are most of the time outdated and do not support the NRF52 correctly.
