DFU and JTAG
============

  Enbling Support for the DFU Bootloader
  --------------------------------------
  The linker files in these projects can be configured to indicate that you
  will be loading code using STMicro built-in USB Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU)
  loader or via some JTAG emulator.  You can specify the DFU bootloader by
  adding the following line:

    CONFIG_STM32_DFU=y

  to your .config file. Most of the configurations in this directory are set
  up to use the DFU loader.

  If CONFIG_STM32_DFU is defined, the code will not be positioned at the beginning
  of FLASH (0x08000000) but will be offset to 0x08003000.  This offset is needed
  to make space for the DFU loader and 0x08003000 is where the DFU loader expects
  to find new applications at boot time.  If you need to change that origin for some
  other bootloader, you will need to edit the file(s) ld.script.dfu for the
  configuration.

  The DFU SE PC-based software is available from the STMicro website,
  http://www.st.com.  General usage instructions:

  1. Convert the NuttX Intel Hex file (nuttx.hex) into a special DFU
     file (nuttx.dfu)... see below for details.
  2. Connect the STM3210E-EVAL board to your computer using a USB
     cable.
  3. Start the DFU loader on the STM3210E-EVAL board.  You do this by
     resetting the board while holding the "Key" button.  Windows should
     recognize that the DFU loader has been installed.
  3. Run the DFU SE program to load nuttx.dfu into FLASH.

  What if the DFU loader is not in FLASH?  The loader code is available
  inside of the Demo dirctory of the USBLib ZIP file that can be downloaded
  from the STMicro Website.  You can build it using RIDE (or other toolchains);
  you will need a JTAG emulator to burn it into FLASH the first time.

  In order to use STMicro's built-in DFU loader, you will have to get
  the NuttX binary into a special format with a .dfu extension.  The
  DFU SE PC_based software installation includes a file "DFU File Manager"
  conversion program that a file in Intel Hex format to the special DFU
  format.  When you successfully build NuttX, you will find a file called
  nutt.hex in the top-level directory.  That is the file that you should
  provide to the DFU File Manager.  You will end up with a file called
  nuttx.dfu that you can use with the STMicro DFU SE program.

  Enabling JTAG
  -------------
  If you are not using the DFU, then you will probably also need to enable
  JTAG support.  By default, all JTAG support is disabled but there NuttX
  configuration options to enable JTAG in various different ways.

  These configurations effect the setting of the SWJ_CFG[2:0] bits in the AFIO
  MAPR register.  These bits are used to configure the SWJ and trace alternate function I/Os. The SWJ (SerialWire JTAG) supports JTAG or SWD access to the
  Cortex debug port.  The default state in this port is for all JTAG support
  to be disable.

  CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_FULL_ENABLE - sets SWJ_CFG[2:0] to 000 which enables full
    SWJ (JTAG-DP + SW-DP)

  CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_NOJNTRST_ENABLE - sets SWJ_CFG[2:0] to 001 which enable
    full SWJ (JTAG-DP + SW-DP) but without JNTRST.

  CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_SW_ENABLE - sets SWJ_CFG[2:0] to 010 which would set JTAG-DP
    disabled and SW-DP enabled

  The default setting (none of the above defined) is SWJ_CFG[2:0] set to 100
  which disable JTAG-DP and SW-DP.

OpenOCD
=======

I have also used OpenOCD with the STM3210E-EVAL.  In this case, I used
the Olimex USB ARM OCD.  See the script in configs/stm3210e-eval/tools/oocd.sh
for more information.  Using the script:

1) Start the OpenOCD GDB server

   cd <nuttx-build-directory>
   configs/stm3210e-eval/tools/oocd.sh $PWD

2) Load Nuttx

   cd <nuttx-built-directory>
   arm-none-eabi-gdb nuttx
   gdb> target remote localhost:3333
   gdb> mon reset
   gdb> mon halt
   gdb> load nuttx

3) Running NuttX

   gdb> mon reset
   gdb> c

LEDs
====

The STM3210E-EVAL board has four LEDs labeled LD1, LD2, LD3 and LD4 on the
board.. These LEDs are not used by the board port unless CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is
defined.  In that case, the usage by the board port is defined in
include/board.h and src/up_leds.c. The LEDs are used to encode OS-related
events as follows:

    SYMBOL           Meaning                 LED1* LED2  LED3  LED4
    ---------------- ----------------------- ----- ----- ----- -----
    LED_STARTED      NuttX has been started  ON    OFF   OFF   OFF
    LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF   ON    OFF   OFF
    LED_IRQSENABLED  Interrupts enabled      ON    ON    OFF   OFF
    LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created      OFF   OFF   ON    OFF
    LED_INIRQ        In an interrupt**       ON    N/C   N/C   OFF
    LED_SIGNAL       In a signal handler***  N/C   ON    N/C   OFF
    LED_ASSERTION    An assertion failed     ON    ON    N/C   OFF
    LED_PANIC        The system has crashed  N/C   N/C   N/C   ON
    LED_IDLE         STM32 is is sleep mode  (Optional, not used)

  * If LED1, LED2, LED3 are statically on, then NuttX probably failed to boot
    and these LEDs will give you some indication of where the failure was
 ** The normal state is LED3 ON and LED1 faintly glowing.  This faint glow
    is because of timer interrupts that result in the LED being illuminated
    on a small proportion of the time.
*** LED2 may also flicker normally if signals are processed.

Temperature Sensor
==================

  LM-75 Temperature Sensor Driver
  -------------------------------
  Support for the on-board LM-75 temperature sensor is available.  This
  support has been verified, but has not been included in any of the
  available the configurations.  To set up the temperature sensor, add the
  following to the NuttX configuration file

    Drivers -> Sensors
      CONFIG_SENSORS_LM75=y
      CONFIG_LM75_I2C=y

  Then you can implement logic like the following to use the temperature
  sensor:

    #include <nuttx/sensors/lm75.h>
    #include <arch/board/board.h>

    ret = stm32_lm75initialize("/dev/temp");        /* Register the temperature sensor */
    fd  = open("/dev/temp", O_RDONLY);              /* Open the temperature sensor device */
    ret = ioctl(fd, SNIOC_FAHRENHEIT, 0);           /* Select Fahrenheit */
    bytesread = read(fd, buffer, 8*sizeof(b16_t));  /* Read temperature samples */

  More complex temperature sensor operations are also available.  See the
  IOCTL commands enumerated in include/nuttx/sensors/lm75.h.  Also read the
  descriptions of the stm32_lm75initialize() and stm32_lm75attach()
  interfaces in the arch/board/board.h file (sames as
  configs/stm3210e-eval/include/board.h).

  NSH Command Line Application
  ----------------------------
  There is a tiny NSH command line application at examples/system/lm75 that
  will read the current temperature from an LM75 compatible temperature sensor
  and print the temperature on stdout in either units of degrees Fahrenheit or
  Centigrade.  This tiny command line application is enabled with the following
  configuration options:

    Library
      CONFIG_LIBM=y
      CONFIG_LIBC_FLOATINGPOINT=y

    Applications -> NSH Library
      CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y

    Applications -> System Add-Ons
      CONFIG_SYSTEM_LM75=y
      CONFIG_SYSTEM_LM75_DEVNAME="/dev/temp"
      CONFIG_SYSTEM_LM75_FAHRENHEIT=y  (or CENTIGRADE)
      CONFIG_SYSTEM_LM75_STACKSIZE=1024
      CONFIG_SYSTEM_LM75_PRIORITY=100

RTC
===

  The STM32 RTC may configured using the following settings.

    CONFIG_RTC - Enables general support for a hardware RTC. Specific
      architectures may require other specific settings.
    CONFIG_RTC_HIRES - The typical RTC keeps time to resolution of 1
      second, usually supporting a 32-bit time_t value.  In this case,
      the RTC is used to &quot;seed&quot; the normal NuttX timer and the
      NuttX timer provides for higher resoution time. If CONFIG_RTC_HIRES
      is enabled in the NuttX configuration, then the RTC provides higher
      resolution time and completely replaces the system timer for purpose of
      date and time.
      CONFIG_RTC_FREQUENCY - If CONFIG_RTC_HIRES is defined, then the
      frequency of the high resolution RTC must be provided.  If CONFIG_RTC_HIRES
      is not defined, CONFIG_RTC_FREQUENCY is assumed to be one.
    CONFIG_RTC_ALARM - Enable if the RTC hardware supports setting of an alarm.
      A callback function will be executed when the alarm goes off

  In hi-res mode, the STM32 RTC operates only at 16384Hz.  Overflow interrupts
  are handled when the 32-bit RTC counter overflows every 3 days and 43 minutes.
  A BKP register is incremented on each overflow interrupt creating, effectively,
  a 48-bit RTC counter.

  In the lo-res mode, the RTC operates at 1Hz.  Overflow interrupts are not handled
  (because the next overflow is not expected until the year 2106.

   WARNING:  Overflow interrupts are lost whenever the STM32 is powered down.  The
   overflow interrupt may be lost even if the STM32 is powered down only momentarily.
   Therefore hi-res solution is only useful in systems where the power is always on.

FSMC SRAM
=========

The 8-Mbit SRAM is connected to the STM32 at PG10 which will be FSMC_NE3, Bank1
SRAM3.  This memory will appear at address 0x68000000.

The on-board SRAM can be configured by setting

  CONFIG_STM32_FSMC=y                         : Enables the FSMC
  CONFIG_STM32_FSMC_SRAM=y                    : Enable external SRAM support
  CONFIG_HEAP2_BASE=0x68000000                : SRAM will be located at 0x680000000
  CONFIG_HEAP2_SIZE=1048576                   : The size of the SRAM is 1Mbyte
  CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=2                         : There will be two memory regions
                                              : in the heap

STM3210E-EVAL-specific Configuration Options
============================================

    CONFIG_ARCH - Identifies the arch/ subdirectory.  This should
       be set to:

       CONFIG_ARCH=arm

    CONFIG_ARCH_family - For use in C code:

       CONFIG_ARCH_ARM=y

    CONFIG_ARCH_architecture - For use in C code:

       CONFIG_ARCH_CORTEXM3=y

    CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP - Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory

       CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP=stm32

    CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code to identify the exact
       chip:

       CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_STM32F103ZE

    CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_STM32_CUSTOM_CLOCKCONFIG - Enables special STM32 clock
       configuration features.

       CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_STM32_CUSTOM_CLOCKCONFIG=n

    CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
       hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.

       CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=stm3210e_eval (for the STM3210E-EVAL development board)

    CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code

       CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_STM3210E_EVAL=y

    CONFIG_ARCH_LOOPSPERMSEC - Must be calibrated for correct operation
       of delay loops

    CONFIG_ENDIAN_BIG - define if big endian (default is little
       endian)

    CONFIG_RAM_SIZE - Describes the installed DRAM (SRAM in this case):

       CONFIG_RAM_SIZE=0x00010000 (64Kb)

    CONFIG_RAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM

       CONFIG_RAM_START=0x20000000

    CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LEDs to show state. Unique to boards that
       have LEDs

    CONFIG_ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK - This architecture supports an interrupt
       stack. If defined, this symbol is the size of the interrupt
        stack in bytes.  If not defined, the user task stacks will be
      used during interrupt handling.

    CONFIG_ARCH_STACKDUMP - Do stack dumps after assertions

    CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS -  Use LEDs to show state. Unique to board architecture.

    CONFIG_ARCH_CALIBRATION - Enables some build in instrumentation that
       cause a 100 second delay during boot-up.  This 100 second delay
       serves no purpose other than it allows you to calibratre
       CONFIG_ARCH_LOOPSPERMSEC.  You simply use a stop watch to measure
       the 100 second delay then adjust CONFIG_ARCH_LOOPSPERMSEC until
       the delay actually is 100 seconds.

  Timer and I2C devices may need to the following to force power to be applied
  unconditionally at power up.  (Otherwise, the device is powered when it is
  initialized).

    CONFIG_STM32_FORCEPOWER

  Timer devices may be used for different purposes.  One special purpose is
  to generate modulated outputs for such things as motor control.  If CONFIG_STM32_TIMn
  is defined (as above) then the following may also be defined to indicate that
  the timer is intended to be used for pulsed output modulation, ADC conversion,
  or DAC conversion.  Note that ADC/DAC require two definition:  Not only do you have
  to assign the timer (n) for used by the ADC or DAC, but then you also have to
  configure which ADC or DAC (m) it is assigned to.

    CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_PWM   Reserve timer n for use by PWM, n=1,..,8
    CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_ADC   Reserve timer n for use by ADC, n=1,..,8
    CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_ADCm  Reserve timer n to trigger ADCm, n=1,..,8, m=1,..,3
    CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_DAC   Reserve timer n for use by DAC, n=1,..,8
    CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_DACm  Reserve timer n to trigger DACm, n=1,..,8, m=1,..,2

  For each timer that is enabled for PWM usage, we need the following additional
  configuration settings:

    CONFIG_STM32_TIMx_CHANNEL - Specifies the timer output channel {1,..,4}

  NOTE: The STM32 timers are each capable of generating different signals on
  each of the four channels with different duty cycles.  That capability is
  not supported by this driver:  Only one output channel per timer.

  Alternate pin mappings.  The STM3210E-EVAL board requires only CAN1 remapping
  On the STM3210E-EVAL board pin PB9 is wired as TX and pin PB8 is wired as RX.
  Which then makes the proper connection through the CAN transiver SN65HVD230
  out to the CAN D-type 9-pn male connector where pin 2 is CANL and pin 7 is CANH.

    CONFIG_STM3210E_LCD_BACKLIGHT - Define to support a backlight.
    CONFIG_STM3210E_LCD_PWM - If CONFIG_STM32_TIM1 is also defined, then an
      adjustable backlight will be provided using timer 1 to generate
      various pulse widthes.  The granularity of the settings is
      determined by CONFIG_LCD_MAXPOWER.  If CONFIG_STM3210E_LCD_PWM (or

      is provided.
    CONFIG_STM3210E_LCD_RDSHIFT - When reading 16-bit gram data, there appears
      to be a shift in the returned data.  This value fixes the offset.
      Default 5.

    The LCD driver dynamically selects the LCD based on the reported LCD
    ID value.  However, code size can be reduced by suppressing support for
    individual LCDs using:

    CONFIG_STM3210E_AM240320_DISABLE
    CONFIG_STM3210E_SPFD5408B_DISABLE
    CONFIG_STM3210E_R61580_DISABLE

    (1) You will probably need to modify PATH environment variable to
        to include the correct path to the binaries for whichever
        toolchain you may use.
    (2) Since DfuSe is assumed, this configuration may only work under
        Cygwin without modification.
    (3) When any other device other than /dev/console is used for a user
        interface, (1) linefeeds (\n) will not be expanded to carriage return
        / linefeeds \r\n). You will need to configure your terminal program
        to account for this. And (2) input is not automatically echoed so
        you will have to turn local echo on.
    (4) Microsoft holds several patents related to the design of
        long file names in the FAT file system.  Please refer to the
        details in the top-level COPYING file.  Please do not use FAT
        long file name unless you are familiar with these patent issues.
    (5) When built as an NSH add-on command (CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y),
        Caution should be used to assure that the SD drive is not in use when
        the USB storage device is configured.  Specifically, the SD driver
        should be unmounted like:

        nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/sdcard # Card is mounted in NSH
        ...
        nsh> umount /mnd/sdcard                    # Unmount before connecting USB!!!
        nsh> msconn                                # Connect the USB storage device
        ...
        nsh> msdis                                 # Disconnect USB storate device
        nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/sdcard # Restore the mount

        Failure to do this could result in corruption of the SD card format.

    1. Both configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change these configurations using that tool, you should:

       a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool.  See nuttx/README.txt
          see additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.

       b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
          reconfiguration process.

    2. The nsh2 contains support for some built-in applications that can be
       enabled by make some additional minor changes:

       a. examples/can.  The CAN test example can be enabled by changing the
          following settings in nsh2/defconfig:

          CONFIG_CAN=y             : Enable CAN "upper-half" driver support
          CONFIG_STM32_CAN1=y      : Enable STM32 CAN1 "lower-half" driver support

          The default CAN settings may need to change in your board board
          configuration:

          CONFIG_CAN_EXTID=y       : Support extended IDs
          CONFIG_CAN1_BAUD=250000  : Bit rate: 250 KHz
          CONFIG_CAN_TSEG1=12      : 80% sample point
          CONFIG_CAN_TSEG2=3
  nx:
  ---
    An example using the NuttX graphics system (NX).  This example
    focuses on general window controls, movement, mouse and keyboard
    input.

      CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y  : CodeSourcery under Windows
      CONFIG_LCD_RPORTRAIT=y        : 240x320 reverse portrait

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change this configurations using that tool, you should:

       a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool.  See nuttx/README.txt
          see additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.

       b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
          reconfiguration process.

    2. If you configured the multi-used NX server (which is disabled
       by default), then you would also need:

         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NX_CLIENTPRIO=80
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NX_NOTIFYSIGNO=4
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NX_SERVERPRIO=120
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NX_STACKSIZE=2048

    3. This example provides a framework for a number of other standalone
       graphics tests.

       a. apps/examples/nxlines:  The NXLINES graphic example illustrates
          drawing of fat lines in various orientations.  You can modify
          this configuration so to support the NXLINES example by making
          the following modifications to the NuttX configuration file:

          Provide the new start-up entry point:

            CONFIG_USER_ENTRYPOINT="nxlines_main"

          Disable apps/examples/nx:

            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NX=n

          Enable and configure apps/nxlines/nxlines:

            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES=y
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_VPLANE=0
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_DEVNO=0
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_DEFAULT_COLORS=n
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_BGCOLOR=0x0320
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_LINEWIDTH=16
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_LINECOLOR=0xffe0
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_BORDERWIDTH=4
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_BORDERCOLOR=0xffe0
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_CIRCLECOLOR=0xf7bb
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_BPP=16
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_EXTERNINIT=n

       b. apps/examples/nxtext:  Another example using the NuttX graphics
          system (NX).   This example focuses on placing text on the
          background while pop-up windows occur.  Text should continue to
          update normally with  or without the popup windows present.

          You can modify this configuration so to support the NXLINES
          example by making the following modifications to the NuttX
          configuration file:

          Provide the new start-up entry point:

            CONFIG_USER_ENTRYPOINT="nxtext_main"

          Disable apps/examples/nx:

            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NX=n

          Enable an NX font:

            CONFIG_NXFONT_SERIF22X28B=y

          Enable and configure apps/nxlines/nxtext:

            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT=y
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_VPLANE=0
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_DEVNO=0
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_BPP=16
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_BMCACHE=512
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_GLCACHE=16
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_DEFAULT_COLORS=n
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_BGCOLOR=0x0011
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_BGFONTCOLOR=0xffdf
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_PUCOLOR=0xfd20
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_PUFONTCOLOR=0x001f
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_DEFAULT_FONT=n
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_BGFONTID=11
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_PUFONTID=1
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_EXTERNINIT=n

          If you configured the multi-used NX server (which is disabled
          by default), then you would also need:

            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_STACKSIZE=2048
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_CLIENTPRIO=80
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_SERVERPRIO=120
            CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_NOTIFYSIGNO=4

        c. Others could be similar configured:  apps/examples/nxhello,
            nximage, ...

    4. The nsh configuration was used to verify the discrete joystick
       (DJoystick driver).  If you would like to duplicate this test, below
       are the configuration changes needed to setup the DJoystick driver
       (see nuttx/drivers/input/djoystick.c) and the DJoystick test (see
       apps/examples/djoystick):

          Pre-requisites:

            CONFIG_DISABLE_POLL=n      # Don't disable poll()
            CONFIG_BUILTIN=y           # Enable support for built-in applications
            CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y  # Enable NSH built-in applications

          Enable the DJoystick driver:

            CONFIG_INPUT=y             # Enable input driver support
            CONFIG_DJOYSTICK=y         # Enable the joystick drivers
                                       # (default parmeters should be okay)
          Enable the DJoystick Example:

           CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DJOYSTICK=y  # Enable the DJoystick example
           CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DJOYSTICK_DEVNAME="/dev/djoy0"
           CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DJOYSTICK_SIGNO=13

       When running the configuration, you should see the built-in
       application 'djoy'.  Just typo 'djoy' at the NSH command prompt.
       The test will simply should the joystick position and will exect when
       the joystick select indication is received (when the joystick button
       is push downward).

  nxterm:
  ----------
    This is yet another NSH configuration.  This NSH configuration differs
    from the other, however, in that it uses the NxTerm driver to host
    the NSH shell.

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change this configurations using that tool, you should:

       a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool.  See nuttx/README.txt
          see additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.

       b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
          reconfiguration process.

    2. Some of the differences in this configuration include these settings
       in the defconfig file:

       These select NX Multi-User mode:

         CONFG_NX_MULTIUSER=y
         CONFIG_DISABLE_MQUEUE=n

       The following definition in the defconfig file to enables the NxTerm
       driver:

         CONFIG_NXTERM=y

       And this selects apps/examples/nxterm instead of apps/examples/nsh:

         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTERM=y

       Other configuration settings of interest:

         CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y               : Windows
         CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y             : with Cygwin
         CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin
         CONFIG_LCD_LANDSCAPE=y              : 320x240 landscape

  pm:
  --
    This is a configuration that is used to test STM32 power management, i.e.,
    to test that the board can go into lower and lower states of power usage
    as a result of inactivity.  This configuration is based on the nsh2
    configuration with modifications for testing power management.  This
    configuration should provide some guideline for power management in your
    STM32 application.

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change this configurations using that tool, you should:

       a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool.  See nuttx/README.txt
          see additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.

       b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
          reconfiguration process.

    2. Default configuration is Cygwin under windows using the CodeSourcery
       toolchain:

         CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y                   : Windows
         CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y                 : Cygwin
         CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows

    3. CONFIG_ARCH_CUSTOM_PMINIT and CONFIG_ARCH_IDLE_CUSTOM are necessary
       parts of the PM configuration:

         CONFIG_ARCH_CUSTOM_PMINIT=y

       CONFIG_ARCH_CUSTOM_PMINIT moves the PM initialization from
       arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_pminitialiaze.c to configs/stm3210-eval/src/stm32_pm.c.
       This allows us to support board-specific PM initialization.

         CONFIG_ARCH_IDLE_CUSTOM=y

       The bulk of the PM activities occur in the IDLE loop.  The IDLE loop
       is special because it is what runs when there is no other task running.
       Therefore when the IDLE executes, we can be assure that nothing else
       is going on; this is the ideal condition for doing reduced power
       management.

       The configuration CONFIG_ARCH_IDLE_CUSTOM allows us to "steal" the
       normal STM32 IDLE loop (of arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_idle.c) and replace
       this with our own custom IDLE loop (at configs/stm3210-eval/src/up_idle.c).

    4. Here are some additional things to note in the configuration:

        CONFIG_PM_BUTTONS=y

       CONFIG_PM_BUTTONS enables button support for PM testing.  Buttons can
       drive EXTI interrupts and EXTI interrupts can be used to wakeup for
       certain reduced power modes (STOP mode).  The use of the buttons here
       is for PM testing purposes only; buttons would normally be part the
       application code and CONFIG_PM_BUTTONS would not be defined.

         CONFIG_RTC_ALARM=y

       The RTC alarm is used to wake up from STOP mode and to transition to
       STANDBY mode.  This used of the RTC alarm could conflict with other
       uses of the RTC alarm in your application.

  usbserial:
  ---------
    This configuration directory exercises the USB serial class
    driver at examples/usbserial.  See examples/README.txt for
    more information.

      CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y      : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin

    USB debug output can be enabled as by changing the following
    settings in the configuration file:

      -CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES=n
      -CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n
      -CONFIG_DEBUG_USB=n
      +CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES=y
      +CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
      +CONFIG_DEBUG_USB=y

      -CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACEINIT=n
      -CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACECLASS=n
      -CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACETRANSFERS=n
      -CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACECONTROLLER=n
      -CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACEINTERRUPTS=n
      +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACEINIT=y
      +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACECLASS=y
      +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACETRANSFERS=y
      +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACECONTROLLER=y
      +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACEINTERRUPTS=y

    By default, the usbserial example uses the Prolific PL2303
    serial/USB converter emulation.  The example can be modified
    to use the CDC/ACM serial class by making the following changes
    to the configuration file:

      -CONFIG_PL2303=y
      +CONFIG_PL2303=n

      -CONFIG_CDCACM=n
      +CONFIG_CDCACM=y

    The example can also be converted to use the alternative
    USB serial example at apps/examples/usbterm by changing the
    following:

      -CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL=y
      +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL=n

  usbmsc:
  -------
    This configuration directory exercises the USB mass storage
    class driver at system/usbmsc.  See examples/README.txt for
    more information.

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change this configurations using that tool, you should:

       a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool.  See nuttx/README.txt
          see additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.

       b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
          reconfiguration process.

    2. Build environment (can be easily reconfigured):
