Open Devices

For some of the Xperia™ devices, we provide Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software will be open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. This is a way for us to support the open Android community, and it is also a tool for us to facilitate and verify contributions to AOSP.

This project has been discontinued

As we take on new projects, some of the older ones are no longer updated from our side. This also means that when external domains we link to are no longer maintained or expire we might not have been alerted to it. However, this doesn’t mean that we want you to stop using, exploring or contributing to the projects.

SmartWatch hacker guide

Do you have an idea for how to use SmartWatch in new ways? Then feel free to use the reference information below as a base to build an alternative firmware version. But keep in mind this is for advanced developers only – we do not provide any support or instructions for how to create your own firmware.

General information about SmartWatch

Display

  • The display controller is LD7131 and it is controlled via SPI port 1.
  • Display power is enabled by GPIO PC1.
  • The resolution is 128×128 pixels.
  • 65536 colours.

Bluetooth™

Buzzer

  • The vibrator is controlled by GPIO PB8.

I2C peripherals

  • The accelerometer is an LIS3DH from ST.
  • Datasheet for LIS3DH.
  • Accelerometer I2C address: 0x30
  • Interrupt line PB9.

Touch sensors

  • The touch sensor is from The Cypress, CY8C20236A-24LKXI.
  • Information about CY8C20236.
  • Sensor is reset by GPIO PB0.
  • Sensor I2C address: 0xA

// If MODE_POLLED is not set MODE_W4_ACK must be reset after each read.
// If a command is successfully executed command is set to COMMAND_COMPLETED.
// Set command to 0 to resume operation.
// To re-initialize the touch block send COMMAND_DO_INIT_TOUCH.
// To avoid strange values when modifying parameters
// MODE_SCAN_DISABLE can be set before commands are sent.
