|
|
gapuino is an evaluation board for GAP8, a 1+8-core DSP-like RISC-V
|
|
|
|
MCU. GAP8 features a RI5CY core called Fabric Controller(FC), and a
|
|
|
|
cluster of 8 RI5CY cores that runs at a bit slower speed. GAP8 is an
|
|
|
|
implementation of the opensource PULP platform, a Parallel-Ultra-Low-
|
|
|
|
Power design.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The port is currently very minimal, though additional support may be
|
|
|
|
added in the future to address more of the board peripherals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported:
|
|
|
|
- USB UART (console port)
|
|
|
|
- uDMA on SOC domain
|
|
|
|
- FLL clock scaling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not supported:
|
|
|
|
- SPI, I2C, I2S, CPI, LVDS, Hyper-bus on the uDMA subsystem
|
|
|
|
- the sensor board
|
|
|
|
- the 8-core cluster
|
|
|
|
- the Hardware convolution engine

Environment Setup
|
|
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
First, setup the gap_sdk from GreenwavesTechnologies' github repo.
|
|
|
|
Follow the README to setup the toolchain and environment.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/GreenWaves-Technologies/gap_sdk/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configurations
|
|
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Each gapuino configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and can
|
|
|
|
be selected as follow:
|
|
|
|
|
2019-08-06 00:53:39 +02:00
|
|
|
tools/configure.sh gapuino:<subdir>
|
2018-10-30 16:38:50 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nsh
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This is an NSH example that uses the UART connected to FT2232 as
|
|
|
|
the console. Default UART settings are 115200, 8N1.

|
You may download the ELF to the board by `plpbridge` in gap_sdk.
|
|
|
|
Remember to first `cd` to the gap_sdk/ and `source sourceme.sh`, so
|
2020-02-23 09:50:23 +01:00
|
|
|
that you have the $GAP_SDK_HOME environment variable.
|
2018-10-30 16:38:50 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the following command to download and run the ELF through JTAG:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$GAP_SDK_HOME/install/workstation/bin/plpbridge \
|
|
|
|
--cable=ftdi@digilent --boot-mode=jtag --chip=gap \
|
|
|
|
--binary=nuttx \
|
|
|
|
load ioloop reqloop start wait
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As for debugging, the following command download the ELF and opens
|
|
|
|
a gdbserver on port 1234:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$GAP_SDK_HOME/install/workstation/bin/plpbridge \
|
|
|
|
--cable=ftdi@digilent --boot-mode=jtag --chip=gap \
|
|
|
|
--binary=nuttx \
|
|
|
|
load ioloop gdb wait
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And then launch the gdb on another terminal:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
riscv32-unknown-elf-gdb nuttx
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
(gdb) target remote :1234
|
|
|
|
Remote debugging using :1234
|
|
|
|
IRQ_U_Vector_Base () at chip/startup_gap8.S:293
|
|
|
|
293 j reset_handler /* 32 */
|
|
|
|
(gdb)
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-07 14:17:25 +01:00
|
|
|
And then enjoy yourself debugging with the CLI gdb :-)
