quickstart documentation should contain links on the programming API about tomu-quickstart HOT 6 OPEN

Does https://github.com/im-tomu/tomu-samples help?

There is also some stuff at https://github.com/im-tomu/toboot

It has been a long time since I've even thought about the Tomu (as opposed to the Fomu). I don't think we ever had anything like the Fomu workshop for the Tomu?

Yeah, I know I'm late to the party, sorry @mithro , I'll do Fomu next.
I did use the samples, but it took me forever to modify one (send a PR #107 which took me hours to write with lack of debugging or having any clue to use some of the API functions).

I was hoping to find how to register a touch, to affect the LEDs, but didn't find anything in the examples. Of course, an API with all the IO ports, and functions to access them properly, would help. I'm fine with arduino, but I feel like a total noob here :)

The Tomu was never really targetted as "easy to use", it was always more targetted at "doing things like this is possible" space. That did start to shift as more precanned examples existed but was always limited by the inability to run things like MicroPython.

This does make me realise how powerful things like the gdb over USB wishbone stuff that we have on the Fomu potentially are.

With something like the Tomu, the first step is to get USB serial working so you can do printf style debugging. Or you solder a DAPlink style probe to your hardware...

I'm wondering if you could do a preprovided "operating system" with syscall for the USB / printf style stuff.

@mithro Fair enough, I see I mostly wasted my time trying to use tomu when effectively it's mostly dead now that fomu is out (which I understand).
Mmmh, well, given that I spent the time already, in case there are still people out there who might try to use tomus, are you ok merging the doc updates I wrote for you? #105

For programming, I didn't get very far (didn't find an easy way to query the touch sensors), but I wrote an improved LED example if you're ok merging it:
#107
