Development Environment
=======================

  Either Linux or Cygwin on Windows can be used for the development environment.
  The source has been built only using the GNU toolchain (see below).  Other
  toolchains will likely cause problems.

GNU Toolchain Options
=====================

  Toolchain Configurations
  ------------------------
  The NuttX make system has been modified to support the following different
  toolchain options.

  1. The CodeSourcery GNU toolchain,
  2. The Atollic Toolchain,
  3. The devkitARM GNU toolchain,
  4. Raisonance GNU toolchain, or
  5. The NuttX buildroot Toolchain (see below).

  All testing has been conducted using the CodeSourcery toolchain for Windows.  To use
  the Atollic, devkitARM, Raisonance GNU, or NuttX buildroot toolchain, you simply need to
  add one of the following configuration options to your .config (or defconfig)
  file:

    CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y  : CodeSourcery under Windows
    CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYL=y  : CodeSourcery under Linux
    CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_ATOLLIC=y        : The Atollic toolchain under Windows
    CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_DEVKITARM=y      : devkitARM under Windows
    CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_RAISONANCE=y     : Raisonance RIDE7 under Windows
    CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y      : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin (default)

  If you change the default toolchain, then you may also have to modify the PATH in
  the setenv.h file if your make cannot find the tools.

  NOTE: the CodeSourcery (for Windows), Atollic, devkitARM, and Raisonance toolchains are
  Windows native toolchains.  The CodeSourcey (for Linux) and NuttX buildroot
  toolchains are Cygwin and/or Linux native toolchains. There are several limitations
  to using a Windows based toolchain in a Cygwin environment.  The three biggest are:

  1. The Windows toolchain cannot follow Cygwin paths.  Path conversions are
     performed automatically in the Cygwin makefiles using the 'cygpath' utility
     but you might easily find some new path problems.  If so, check out 'cygpath -w'

  2. Windows toolchains cannot follow Cygwin symbolic links.  Many symbolic links
     are used in Nuttx (e.g., include/arch).  The make system works around these
     problems for the Windows tools by copying directories instead of linking them.
     But this can also cause some confusion for you:  For example, you may edit
     a file in a "linked" directory and find that your changes had no effect.
     That is because you are building the copy of the file in the "fake" symbolic
     directory.  If you use a Windows toolchain, you should get in the habit of
     making like this:

       make clean_context all

     An alias in your .bashrc file might make that less painful.

  The CodeSourcery Toolchain (2009q1)
  -----------------------------------
  The CodeSourcery toolchain (2009q1) does not work with default optimization
  level of -Os (See Make.defs).  It will work with -O0, -O1, or -O2, but not with
  -Os.

  The Atollic "Pro" and "Lite" Toolchain
  --------------------------------------
  One problem that I had with the Atollic toolchains is that the provide a gcc.exe
  and g++.exe in the same bin/ file as their ARM binaries.  If the Atollic bin/ path
  appears in your PATH variable before /usr/bin, then you will get the wrong gcc
  when you try to build host executables.  This will cause to strange, uninterpretable
  errors build some host binaries in tools/ when you first make.

  Also, the Atollic toolchains are the only toolchains that have built-in support for
  the FPU in these configurations.  If you plan to use the Cortex-M4 FPU, you will
  need to use the Atollic toolchain for now.  See the FPU section below for more
  information.

  The Atollic "Lite" Toolchain
  ----------------------------
  The free, "Lite" version of the Atollic toolchain does not support C++ nor
  does it support ar, nm, objdump, or objdcopy. If you use the Atollic "Lite"
  toolchain, you will have to set:

    CONFIG_HAVE_CXX=n

  In order to compile successfully.  Otherwise, you will get errors like:

    "C++ Compiler only available in TrueSTUDIO Professional"

  The make may then fail in some of the post link processing because of some of
  the other missing tools.  The Make.defs file replaces the ar and nm with
  the default system x86 tool versions and these seem to work okay.  Disable all
  of the following to avoid using objcopy:

    CONFIG_RRLOAD_BINARY=n
    CONFIG_INTELHEX_BINARY=n
    CONFIG_MOTOROLA_SREC=n
    CONFIG_RAW_BINARY=n

  devkitARM
  ---------
  The devkitARM toolchain includes a version of MSYS make.  Make sure that the
  the paths to Cygwin's /bin and /usr/bin directories appear BEFORE the devkitARM
  path or will get the wrong version of make.

IDEs
====

  NuttX is built using command-line make.  It can be used with an IDE, but some
  effort will be required to create the project.

  Makefile Build
  --------------
  Under Eclipse, it is pretty easy to set up an "empty makefile project" and
  simply use the NuttX makefile to build the system.  That is almost for free
  under Linux.  Under Windows, you will need to set up the "Cygwin GCC" empty
  makefile project in order to work with Windows (Google for "Eclipse Cygwin" -
  there is a lot of help on the internet).

  Native Build
  ------------
  Here are a few tips before you start that effort:

  1) Select the toolchain that you will be using in your .config file
  2) Start the NuttX build at least one time from the Cygwin command line
     before trying to create your project.  This is necessary to create
     certain auto-generated files and directories that will be needed.
  3) Set up include pathes:  You will need include/, arch/arm/src/stm32,
     arch/arm/src/common, arch/arm/src/armv7-m, and sched/.
  4) All assembly files need to have the definition option -D __ASSEMBLY__
     on the command line.

  Startup files will probably cause you some headaches.  The NuttX startup file
  is arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_vectors.S.  With RIDE, I have to build NuttX
  one time from the Cygwin command line in order to obtain the pre-built
  startup object needed by RIDE.

NuttX EABI "buildroot" Toolchain
================================

  A GNU GCC-based toolchain is assumed.  The files */setenv.sh should
  be modified to point to the correct path to the Cortex-M3 GCC toolchain (if
  different from the default in your PATH variable).

  If you have no Cortex-M3 toolchain, one can be downloaded from the NuttX
  Bitbucket download site (https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/buildroot/downloads/).
  This GNU toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin environment.

  1. You must have already configured Nuttx in <some-dir>/nuttx.

     cd tools
     ./configure.sh STM32F4Discovery/<sub-dir>

  2. Download the latest buildroot package into <some-dir>

  3. unpack the buildroot tarball.  The resulting directory may
     have versioning information on it like buildroot-x.y.z.  If so,
     rename <some-dir>/buildroot-x.y.z to <some-dir>/buildroot.

  4. cd <some-dir>/buildroot

  5. cp configs/cortexm3-eabi-defconfig-4.6.3 .config

  6. make oldconfig

  7. make

  8. Edit setenv.h, if necessary, so that the PATH variable includes
     the path to the newly built binaries.

  See the file configs/README.txt in the buildroot source tree.  That has more
  details PLUS some special instructions that you will need to follow if you are
  building a Cortex-M3 toolchain for Cygwin under Windows.

  NOTE:  Unfortunately, the 4.6.3 EABI toolchain is not compatible with the
  the NXFLAT tools.  See the top-level TODO file (under "Binary loaders") for
  more information about this problem. If you plan to use NXFLAT, please do not
  use the GCC 4.6.3 EABI toolchain; instead use the GCC 4.3.3 OABI toolchain.
  See instructions below.

NuttX OABI "buildroot" Toolchain
================================

  The older, OABI buildroot toolchain is also available.  To use the OABI
  toolchain:

  1. When building the buildroot toolchain, either (1) modify the cortexm3-eabi-defconfig-4.6.3
     configuration to use EABI (using 'make menuconfig'), or (2) use an exising OABI
     configuration such as cortexm3-defconfig-4.3.3

  2. Modify the Make.defs file to use the OABI conventions:

    +CROSSDEV = arm-nuttx-elf-
    +ARCHCPUFLAGS = -mtune=cortex-m3 -march=armv7-m -mfloat-abi=soft
    +NXFLATLDFLAGS2 = $(NXFLATLDFLAGS1) -T$(TOPDIR)/binfmt/libnxflat/gnu-nxflat-gotoff.ld -no-check-sections
    -CROSSDEV = arm-nuttx-eabi-
    -ARCHCPUFLAGS = -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb -mfloat-abi=soft
    -NXFLATLDFLAGS2 = $(NXFLATLDFLAGS1) -T$(TOPDIR)/binfmt/libnxflat/gnu-nxflat-pcrel.ld -no-check-sections

NXFLAT Toolchain
================

  If you are *not* using the NuttX buildroot toolchain and you want to use
  the NXFLAT tools, then you will still have to build a portion of the buildroot
  tools -- just the NXFLAT tools.  The buildroot with the NXFLAT tools can
  be downloaded from the NuttX Bitbucket download site
  (https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/nuttx/downloads/).

  This GNU toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin environment.

  1. You must have already configured Nuttx in <some-dir>/nuttx.

     cd tools
     ./configure.sh lpcxpresso-lpc1768/<sub-dir>

  2. Download the latest buildroot package into <some-dir>

  3. unpack the buildroot tarball.  The resulting directory may
     have versioning information on it like buildroot-x.y.z.  If so,
     rename <some-dir>/buildroot-x.y.z to <some-dir>/buildroot.

  4. cd <some-dir>/buildroot

  5. cp configs/cortexm3-defconfig-nxflat .config

  6. make oldconfig

  7. make

  8. Edit setenv.h, if necessary, so that the PATH variable includes
     the path to the newly builtNXFLAT binaries.

LEDs
====

The STM32F4Discovery board has four LEDs; green, orange, red and blue 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
                                                green    orange   red      blue
  -------------------  -----------------------  -------  -------  -------  ------
  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.

RGB LED Driver
==============

Alan Carvalho de Assis has used the STM32F4-Discovery to drive an RGB LED
using PWM output.  The external RGB connected this way:

   R = TIM1 CH1 on PE9
   G = TIM2 CH2 on PA1
   B = TIM3 CH3 on PB0

The RGB LED driver that uses PWM to control the red, green, and blue color
components can be enabled with the following configuratin settings:

  +CONFIG_RGBLED=y

  +CONFIG_PWM

  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM1
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM2
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM3
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM1_PWM=y
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM1_MODE=0
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM1_CHANNEL=1
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM1_CHMODE=0
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM2_PWM=y
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM2_MODE=0
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM2_CHANNEL=2
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM2_CHMODE=0
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM3_PWM=y
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM3_MODE=0
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM3_CHANNEL=3
  +CONFIG_STM32_TIM3_CHMODE=0

PWM
===

The STM32F4Discovery has no real on-board PWM devices, but the board can be
configured to output a pulse train using TIM4 CH2 on PD3.  This pin is
available next to the audio jack.

   with care (See table 5 in the STM32F4Discovery User Guide).  The rest are
   free I/O pins.
** Port G pins are not supported by the MCU

Default USART/UART Configuration
--------------------------------

USART2 is enabled in most configurations (see */defconfig).  RX and TX are
configured on pins PA3 and PA2, respectively (see include/board.h).

These pins selections, however, conflict with Ethernet pin usage on the
STM32F4DIS-BB base board.  The STM32F4DIS-BB base board provides RS-232
drivers and a DB9 connector for USART6.  USART6 is the preferred serial
console for use with the STM32F4DIS-BB.

** Port H pins are not supported by the MCU

Quadrature Encode Timer Inputs
------------------------------

If enabled (by setting CONFIG_QENCODER=y), then quadrature encoder will
use either TIM2 or TIM8 (see nsh/defconfig).  If TIM2 is selected, the input
pins PA15 and PA1 for CH1 and CH2, respectively).  If TIM8 is selected, then
PC6 and PI5 will be used for CH1 and CH2  (see include board.h for pin
definitions).

Selected via CONFIG_STM32F4DISCO_QETIMER

FPU
===

FPU Configuration Options
-------------------------

There are two version of the FPU support built into the STM32 port.

1. Lazy Floating Point Register Save.

   This is an untested implementation that saves and restores FPU registers
   only on context switches.  This means: (1) floating point registers are
   not stored on each context switch and, hence, possibly better interrupt
   performance.  But, (2) since floating point registers are not saved,
   you cannot use floating point operations within interrupt handlers.

   This logic can be enabled by simply adding the following to your .config
   file:

   CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y

2. Non-Lazy Floating Point Register Save

   Mike Smith has contributed an extensive re-write of the ARMv7-M exception
   handling logic. This includes verified support for the FPU.  These changes
   have not yet been incorporated into the mainline and are still considered
   experimental.  These FPU logic can be enabled with:

   CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y
   CONFIG_ARMV7M_CMNVECTOR=y

   You will probably also changes to the ld.script in if this option is selected.
   This should work:

   -ENTRY(_stext)
   +ENTRY(__start)         /* Treat __start as the anchor for dead code stripping */
   +EXTERN(_vectors)       /* Force the vectors to be included in the output */

CFLAGS
------

Only recent GCC toolchains have built-in support for the Cortex-M4 FPU.  You will see
the following lines in each Make.defs file:

  ifeq ($(CONFIG_ARCH_FPU),y)
    ARCHCPUFLAGS = -mcpu=cortex-m4 -mthumb -march=armv7e-m -mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard
  else
    ARCHCPUFLAGS = -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb -mfloat-abi=soft
  endif

Configuration Changes
---------------------

Below are all of the configuration changes that I had to make to configs/stm3240g-eval/nsh2
in order to successfully build NuttX using the Atollic toolchain WITH FPU support:

  -CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=n              : Enable FPU support
  +CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y

  -CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y   : Disable the CodeSourcery toolchain
  +CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=n

  -CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_ATOLLIC=n         : Enable the Atollic toolchain
  +CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_ATOLLIC=y        :

  -CONFIG_INTELHEX_BINARY=y       : Suppress generation FLASH download formats
  +CONFIG_INTELHEX_BINARY=n       : (Only necessary with the "Lite" version)

  -CONFIG_HAVE_CXX=y              : Suppress generation of C++ code
  +CONFIG_HAVE_CXX=n              : (Only necessary with the "Lite" version)

See the section above on Toolchains, NOTE 2, for explanations for some of
the configuration settings.  Some of the usual settings are just not supported
by the "Lite" version of the Atollic toolchain.

FSMC SRAM
=========

On-board SRAM
-------------
The STM32F4Discovery has no on-board SRAM.  The information here is only for
reference in case you choose to add some.

Configuration Options
---------------------
Internal SRAM is available in all members of the STM32 family. The F4 family
also contains internal CCM SRAM.  This SRAM is different because it cannot
be used for DMA.  So if DMA needed, then the following should be defined
to exclude CCM SRAM from the heap:

  CONFIG_STM32_CCMEXCLUDE    : Exclude CCM SRAM from the HEAP

In addition to internal SRAM, SRAM may also be available through the FSMC.
In order to use FSMC SRAM, the following additional things need to be
present in the NuttX configuration file:

  CONFIG_STM32_FSMC=y        : Enables the FSMC
  CONFIG_STM32_FSMC_SRAM=y   : Indicates that SRAM is available via the
                               FSMC (as opposed to an LCD or FLASH).
  CONFIG_HEAP2_BASE          : The base address of the SRAM in the FSMC
                               address space
  CONFIG_HEAP2_SIZE          : The size of the SRAM in the FSMC
                               address space
  CONFIG_MM_REGIONS          : Must be set to a large enough value to
                               include the FSMC SRAM

SRAM Configurations
-------------------
There are 4 possible SRAM configurations:

  Configuration 1. System SRAM (only)

SSD1289
=======

I purchased an LCD display on eBay from China.  The LCD is 320x240 RGB565 and
is based on an SSD1289 LCD controller and an XPT2046 touch IC.  The pin out
from the 2x16 connect on the LCD is labelled as follows:

     for the parallel interface if PC0 is held high (or floating).  PC0 enables
     the STMPS2141STR IC power switch that drives the OTG FS host VBUS.
   4 Also the reset pin for the CS43L22 audio Codec.

NOTE:  The configuration to test this LCD configuration is available at
configs/stm32f4discovery/nxlines.  As of this writing, I have not seen the
LCD working so I probably have some things wrong.

I might need to use a bit-banging interface.  Below is the pin configuration
of a similar LCD to support a (write-only), bit banging interface:

  LCD PIN   BOARD CONNECTION
  LEDA      5V
  VCC       5V
  RD        3.3V
  GND       GND
  DB0-7     Port C pins configured as outputs
  DB8-15    Port A pins configured as outputs
  RS        Pin configured as output
  WR        Pin configured as output
  CS        Pin configured as output
  RSET      Pin configured as output

The following summarize the bit banging operations:

  /* Rese the LCD */
  void Reset(void)
  {
    Set RSET output
    delay
    Clear RSET output
    delay
    Set RSET output
  }

  /* Write 16-bits of whatever */
  void Write16(uint8_t ms, uint8_t ls)
  {
    Set port A to ms
    Set port B to ls

    Clear WR pin
    Set   WR pin
  }

  /* Set the index register to an LCD register address */
  void Index(uint8_t address)
  {
    Clear RS
    Write16(0, address);
  }

  /* Write data to the LCD register or GRAM memory */
  void WriteData(uin16_t data)
  {
    Set RS
    Write16(data >> 8, data & 0xff);
  }

  /* Write to a register */
  void WriteRegister(uint8_t address, uint16_t data)
  {
    Index(address);
    WriteData(data);
  }

UG-2864AMBAG01 / UG-2864HSWEG01
===============================

I purchased an OLED display on eBay.  The OLED is 128x64 monochrome and
is based on an UG-2864AMBAG01 OLED controller.  The OLED can run in either
parallel or SPI mode.  I am using SPI mode.  In SPI mode, the OLED is
write only so the driver keeps a 128*64/8 = 1KB framebuffer to remember
the display contents:

Here is how I have the OLED connected.  But you can change this with the
settings in include/board.h and src/stm324fdiscovery.h.  Connector
pinout for the UG-2864AMBAG01 is specific to the theO.net display board
that I am using:

Darcy Gong recently added support for the UG-2864HSWEG01 OLED which is also
an option with this configuration.  I have little technical information about
the UG-2864HSWEG01 interface (see configs/stm32f4discovery/src/up_ug2864hsweg01.c).

STM32F4Discovery-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_CORTEXM4=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_STM32F407VG=y

    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=STM32F4Discovery (for the STM32F4Discovery development board)

    CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code

       CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_STM32F4_DISCOVERY=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_STM32_CCMEXCLUDE - Exclude CCM SRAM from the HEAP

    In addition to internal SRAM, SRAM may also be available through the FSMC.
    In order to use FSMC SRAM, the following additional things need to be
    present in the NuttX configuration file:

    CONFIG_STM32_FSMC_SRAM - Indicates that SRAM is available via the
      FSMC (as opposed to an LCD or FLASH).

    CONFIG_HEAP2_BASE - The base address of the SRAM in the FSMC address space (hex)

    CONFIG_HEAP2_SIZE - The size of the SRAM in the FSMC address space (decimal)

    CONFIG_ARCH_FPU - The STM32F4Discovery supports a floating point unit (FPU)

       CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y

    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 calibrate
       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.

  Individual subsystems can be enabled:

  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,..,14
    CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_ADC   Reserve timer n for use by ADC, n=1,..,14
    CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_ADCm  Reserve timer n to trigger ADCm, n=1,..,14, m=1,..,3
    CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_DAC   Reserve timer n for use by DAC, n=1,..,14
    CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_DACm  Reserve timer n to trigger DACm, n=1,..,14, 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.

  JTAG Enable settings (by default only SW-DP is enabled):

    CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_FULL_ENABLE - Enables full SWJ (JTAG-DP + SW-DP)
    CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_NOJNTRST_ENABLE - Enables full SWJ (JTAG-DP + SW-DP)
      but without JNTRST.
    CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_SW_ENABLE - Set JTAG-DP disabled and SW-DP enabled

  STM32F4Discovery specific device driver settings

    CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_SERIAL_CONSOLE - selects the USARTn (n=1,2,3) or UART
           m (m=4,5) for the console and ttys0 (default is the USART1).
    CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_RXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered as received.
       This specific the size of the receive buffer
    CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_TXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered before
       being sent.  This specific the size of the transmit buffer
    CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_BAUD - The configure BAUD of the UART.  Must be
    CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_BITS - The number of bits.  Must be either 7 or 8.

    CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_2STOP - Two stop bits

  STM32F4Discovery CAN Configuration

    CONFIG_CAN - Enables CAN support (one or both of CONFIG_STM32_CAN1 or
      CONFIG_STM32_CAN2 must also be defined)
    CONFIG_CAN_EXTID - Enables support for the 29-bit extended ID.  Default
      Standard 11-bit IDs.
    CONFIG_CAN_FIFOSIZE - The size of the circular buffer of CAN messages.
      Default: 8
    CONFIG_CAN_NPENDINGRTR - The size of the list of pending RTR requests.
      Default: 4
    CONFIG_CAN_LOOPBACK - A CAN driver may or may not support a loopback
      mode for testing. The STM32 CAN driver does support loopback mode.
    CONFIG_CAN1_BAUD - CAN1 BAUD rate.  Required if CONFIG_STM32_CAN1 is defined.
    CONFIG_CAN2_BAUD - CAN1 BAUD rate.  Required if CONFIG_STM32_CAN2 is defined.

      support. Non-interrupt-driven, poll-waiting is recommended if the
      interrupt rate would be to high in the interrupt driven case.
    CONFIG_STM32_SPI_DMA - Use DMA to improve SPI transfer performance.
      Cannot be used with CONFIG_STM32_SPI_INTERRUPT.

BASIC
=====
  I have used the stm32f4discovery/nsh configuration to test Michael Haardt's
  BASIC interpreter that you can find at apps/interpreters/bas.

    Bas is an interpreter for the classic dialect of the programming language
    BASIC.  It is pretty compatible to typical BASIC interpreters of the 1980s,
    unlike some other UNIX BASIC interpreters, that implement a different
    syntax, breaking compatibility to existing programs.  Bas offers many ANSI
    BASIC statements for structured programming, such as procedures, local
    variables and various loop types.  Further there are matrix operations,
    automatic LIST indentation and many statements and functions found in
    specific classic dialects.  Line numbers are not required.

  There is also a test suite for the interpreter that can be found at
  apps/examples/bastest.

  Configuration
  -------------
  Below are the recommended configuration changes to use BAS with the
  stm32f4discovery/nsh configuration:

  Dependencies:
    CONFIG_LIBC_EXECFUNCS=y      : exec*() functions are required
    CONFIG_LIBM=y                : Some floating point library is required
    CONFIG_LIBC_FLOATINGPOINT=y  : Floating point printing support is required
    CONFIG_LIBC_TMPDIR="/tmp"    : Writable temporary files needed for some commands
    CONFIG_FS_FAT=y              : With FAT you create a RAMDISK at /tmp
    CONFIG_FAT_LFN=y             : FAT is difficult to use with long file names

  Enable the BASIC interpreter.  Other default options should be okay:
    CONFIG_INTERPRETERS_BAS=y    : Enables the interpreter
    CONFIG_INTERPRETER_BAS_VT100=y

  The BASIC test suite can be included:
     CONFIG_FS_ROMFS=y           : ROMFS support is needed
     CONFIG_EXAMPLES_BASTEST=y   : Enables the BASIC test setup
     CONFIG_EXAMPLES_BASTEST_DEVMINOR=0
     CONFIG_EXAMPLES_BASTEST_DEVPATH="/dev/ram0"

  Usage
  -----
  This setup will initialize the BASIC test (optional):  This will mount
  a ROMFS file system at /mnt/romfs that contains the BASIC test files:

  nsh> bastest
  Registering romdisk at /dev/ram0
  Mounting ROMFS filesystem at target=/mnt/romfs with source=/dev/ram0
  nsh>

  These steps will create and mount a RAMDISK at /tmp (required only for a
  few BASIC commands).  This will create a RAMDISK device at /dev/ram1 with
  size = 512 * 64 = 32KiB and mount it at /tmp:

  nsh> mkrd -m 1 -s 512 64
  nsh> mkfatfs /dev/ram1
  nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/ram1 /tmp
  nsh>

  The interactive interpreter is started like:

  nsh> bas

Configurations
==============

Each STM32F4Discovery configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:

    cd tools
    ./configure.sh STM32F4Discovery/<subdir>
    cd -
    . ./setenv.sh

If this is a Windows native build, then configure.bat should be used
instead of configure.sh:

    configure.bat STM32F4Discovery\<subdir>

Where <subdir> is one of the following:

  cxxtest:
  -------

  The C++ standard libary test at apps/examples/cxxtest configuration.  This
  test is used to verify the uClibc++ port to NuttX.  This configuration may
  be selected as follows:

    cd <nuttx-directory>/tools
    ./configure.sh sim/cxxtest

  NOTES:

  1. Before you can use this example, you must first install the uClibc++
     C++ library.  This is located outside of the NuttX source tree in the
     NuttX uClibc++ GIT repository.  See the README.txt file there for
     instructions on how to install uClibc++

  2. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
     change this configuration 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.

  3. Ideally, you should build with a toolchain based on GLIBC or
     uClibc++.  It you use a toolchain based on newlib, you may see
     an error like the following:

     .../lib/libsupc++.a(vterminate.o): In function `__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler()':
     vterminate.cc:(....): undefined reference to `_impure_ptr'

     Here is a quick'n'dirty fix:

     1. Get the directory where you can find libsupc++:

        arm-none-eabi-gcc -mcpu=cortex-m4 -mthumb -print-file-name=libsupc++.a

     2. Go to that directory and save a copy of vterminate.o (in case you
        want to restore it later:

        cd <the-directory-containing-libsupc++.a>
        arm-none-eabi-ar.exe -x libsupc++.a vterminate.o

     3. Then remove vterminate.o from the library.  At build time, the
        uClibc++ package will provide a usable replacement vterminate.o.

     Steps 2 and 3 will require root privileges on most systems (not Cygwin).

     Now NuttX should link with no problem.  If you want to restore the
     vterminate.o that you removed from libsupc++, you can do that with:

       arm-none-eabi-ar.exe rcs libsupc++.a vterminate.o

  4. Exceptions are enabled and workking (CONFIG_UCLIBCXX_EXCEPTION=y)

  elf:
  ---

    This configuration uses apps/examples/elf in order to test the ELF
    loader.

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change this configuration 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 platform/toolchain:

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

    3. By default, this project assumes that you are *NOT* using the DFU
       bootloader.

    4. It appears that you cannot execute from CCM RAM.  This is why the
       following definition appears in the defconfig file:

       CONFIG_STM32_CCMEXCLUDE=y

    5. This configuration requires that you have the genromfs tool installed
       on your system and that you have the full path to the installed genromfs
       executable in PATH variable (see apps/examples/README.txt)

    6. This configuration can be extended to use the hello++4 example and to
       build uClibc with the following additions to to the configuration file
       (from Leo aloe3132):

       CONFIG_C99_BOOL8=y
       CONFIG_HAVE_CXXINITIALIZE=y

       CONFIG_UCLIBCXX=y
       CONFIG_UCLIBCXX_EXCEPTION=y
       CONFIG_UCLIBCXX_HAVE_LIBSUPCXX=y
       CONFIG_UCLIBCXX_IOSTREAM_BUFSIZE=32

       CONFIG_EXAMPLES_ELF_CXXINITIALIZE=y
       CONFIG_EXAMPLES_ELF_UCLIBCXX=y

    4. The network initialization thread is enabled in this configuration.
       As a result, networking initialization is performed asynchronously with
       NSH bring-up.

       The network monitor is not enabled in this configuration, however, so
       the firmware will not know when the network is disconnected or
       reconnected.  The NSH Network Monitor cannot be used with the
       STM32F4DIS-BB base board because the LAN8720 is configured in REF_CLK
       OUT mode.  In that mode, the PHY interrupt is not supported.  The NINT
       pin serves as REFLCK0 in that case.

  ipv6:
  ----
    This is another version of the NuttShell configuration for the
    STM32F4-Discovery with the STM32F4DIS-BB base board.  It is very similar
    to the netnsh configuration except that it has IPv6 enabled and IPv4
    disabled.  Several network utilities that are not yet available under
    IPv6 are disabled.

    NOTES:

    1. As of 2015-02-05, this configuration was identical to the netnsh
       configuration other than using IPv6.  So all of the notes above
       regarding the netnsh configuration apply.

       a. Telnet does not work with IPv6.
       b. The network initialization thread was enabed in the netnsh
          configuration on 2015-09-28, but not in the ipv6 configuration.

    2. This configuration can be modified to that both IPv4 and IPv6
       are support.  Here is a summary of the additional configuration
       settings required to support both IPv4 and IPv6:

         CONFIG_NET_IPv4=y
         CONFIG_NET_ARP=y
         CONFIG_NET_ARP_SEND=y (optional)
         CONFIG_NET_ICMP=y
         CONFIG_NET_ICMP_PING=y

         CONFIG_NETDB_DNSCLIENT=y
         CONFIG_NETUTILS_TELNETD=y

         CONFIG_NSH_IPADDR=0x0a000002
         CONFIG_NSH_DRIPADDR=0x0a000001
         CONFIG_NSH_NETMASK=0xffffff00
         CONFIG_NSH_TELNET=y

       Then from NSH, you have both ping and ping6 commands:

         nsh> ping 10.0.0.1
         nsh> ping6 fc00::1

       And from the host you can do similar:

         ping 10.0.0.2
         ping6 fc00::2   (Linux)
         ping -6 fc00::2 (Windows cmd)

       and Telnet again works from the host:

         telent 10.0.0.2

    3. I have used this configuration to serve up IP address prefixes
       in a local network with these modifications to the configuration:

       +CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_ROUTER=y
       +CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_PREFLEN=64
       +CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_PREFIX_1=0xfc00
       +CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_PREFIX_2=0x0000
       +CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_PREFIX_3=0x0000
       +CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_PREFIX_4=0x0000
       +CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_PREFIX_5=0x0000
       +CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_PREFIX_6=0x0000
       +CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_PREFIX_7=0x0000
       +CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_PREFIX_8=0x0000

       +CONFIG_NSH_IPv6NETMASK_5=0x0000
       -CONFIG_NSH_IPv6NETMASK_5=0xffff

       +CONFIG_NSH_IPv6NETMASK_6=0x0000
       -CONFIG_NSH_IPv6NETMASK_6=0xffff

       +CONFIG_NSH_IPv6NETMASK_7=0x0000
       -CONFIG_NSH_IPv6NETMASK_7=0xffff

       +CONFIG_NSH_IPv6NETMASK_8=0x0000
       -CONFIG_NSH_IPv6NETMASK_8=0xff80

  kostest:
  -------
    This is identical to the ostest configuration below except that NuttX
    is built as a kernel-mode, monolithic module and the user applications
    are built separately.  Is is recommended to use a special make command;
    not just 'make' but make with the following two arguments:

        make pass1 pass2

    In the normal case (just 'make'), make will attempt to build both user-
    and kernel-mode blobs more or less interleaved.  This actual works!
    However, for me it is very confusing so I prefer the above make command:
    Make the user-space binaries first (pass1), then make the kernel-space
    binaries (pass2)

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change this configuration 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. This is the default platform/toolchain in the configuration:

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

       This is easily changed by modifying the configuration.

    3. At the end of the build, there will be several files in the top-level
       NuttX build directory:

       PASS1:
         nuttx_user.elf    - The pass1 user-space ELF file
         nuttx_user.hex    - The pass1 Intel HEX format file (selected in defconfig)
         User.map          - Symbols in the user-space ELF file

       PASS2:
         nuttx             - The pass2 kernel-space ELF file
         nuttx.hex         - The pass2 Intel HEX file (selected in defconfig)
         System.map        - Symbols in the kernel-space ELF file

    4. Combining .hex files.  If you plan to use the STM32 ST-Link Utility to
       load the .hex files into FLASH, then you need to combine the two hex
       files into a single .hex file.  Here is how you can do that.

       a. The 'tail' of the nuttx.hex file should look something like this
          (with my comments added):

            $ tail nuttx.hex
            # 00, data records
            ...
            :10 9DC0 00 01000000000800006400020100001F0004
            :10 9DD0 00 3B005A0078009700B500D400F300110151
            :08 9DE0 00 30014E016D0100008D
            # 05, Start Linear Address Record
            :04 0000 05 0800 0419 D2
            # 01, End Of File record
            :00 0000 01 FF

          Use an editor such as vi to remove the 05 and 01 records.

       b. The 'head' of the nuttx_user.hex file should look something like
          this (again with my comments added):

            $ head nuttx_user.hex
            # 04, Extended Linear Address Record
            :02 0000 04 0801 F1
            # 00, data records
            :10 8000 00 BD89 01084C800108C8110208D01102087E
            :10 8010 00 0010 00201C1000201C1000203C16002026
            :10 8020 00 4D80 01085D80010869800108ED83010829
            ...

          Nothing needs to be done here.  The nuttx_user.hex file should
          be fine.

       c. Combine the edited nuttx.hex and un-edited nuttx_user.hex
          file to produce a single combined hex file:

          $ cat nuttx.hex nuttx_user.hex >combined.hex

       Then use the combined.hex file with the STM32 ST-Link tool.  If
       you do this a lot, you will probably want to invest a little time
       to develop a tool to automate these steps.

  netnsh:
  ------
    This is a special version of the NuttShell (nsh) configuration that is
    tailored to work with the STM32F4DIS-BB base board.  This version
    derives from nsh configuration so all of the notes apply there except as
    noted below.

    NOTES:

    1. This example uses USART6 for the serial console.  The STM32F4DIS-BB
       provides RS-232 drivers for USART6 and allows access via the DB9
       connector on the base board.  USART6 is, therefore, the more
       convenient UART to use for the serial console.

    2. Networking is enabled.  The STM32F4DIS-BB has an SMC LAN2870 PHY
       and RJ5 network connector.  Support is enabled for ICMP, TCP/IP,
       UDP, and ARP.

    3. SD card support is enabled.  The STM32F4DIS-BB has an on-board
       microSD slot that should be automatically registered as the block
       device /dev/mmcsd0 when an SD card is present.  The SD card can
       then be mounted by the NSH command:

       nsh> mount -t /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/sdcard

    4. CCM memory is not included in the heap in this configuration.  That
       is because the SD card uses DMA and if DMA memory is allocated from
       the CCM memory, the DMA will failure.  This is an STM32 hardware
       limitation.

       If you want to get the CCM memory back in the heap, then you can

         a) Disable microSD support (and DMAC2 which is then no longer
            needed).  If you reduce the clocking by a huge amount, it might
            be possible to use microSD without DMA.  This, however, may
            not be possible.
         b) Develop a strategy to manage CCM memory and DMA memory.  Look
            at this discussion on the NuttX Wiki:
            http://www.nuttx.org/doku.php?id=wiki:howtos:stm32-ccm-alloc

       To put the CCM memory back into the heap you would need to change
       the following in the NuttX configuration:

         CONFIG_STM32_CCMEXCLUDE=n  : Don't exclude CCM memory from the heap
         CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=2        : With CCM, there will be two memory regions

  nsh:
  ---
    Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at apps/examples/nsh.  The
    Configuration enables the serial interfaces on UART2.  Support for
    builtin applications is enabled, but in the base configuration no
    builtin applications are selected (see NOTES below).

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change this configuration 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. By default, this configuration uses the CodeSourcery toolchain
       for Windows and builds under Cygwin (or probably MSYS).  That
       can easily be reconfigured, of course.

       CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y                   : Builds under Windows
       CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y                 : Using Cygwin
       CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery for Windows

    3. To use this configuration with the STM32F4DIS-BB baseboard you
       should:

       - Select the STM32F4DIS-BB baseboard in the board configuration
         menu
       - Disable UART2 and select USART6 in the STM32 peripheral selection
         menu
       - Select USART6 as the serial console at 115200 8N1 in the
         Drivers menus

    4. This example supports the PWM test (apps/examples/pwm) but this must
       be manually enabled by selecting:

       CONFIG_PWM=y              : Enable the generic PWM infrastructure
       CONFIG_STM32_TIM4=y       : Enable TIM4
       CONFIG_STM32_TIM4_PWM=y   : Use TIM4 to generate PWM output

       See also apps/examples/README.txt

       Special PWM-only debug options:

       CONFIG_DEBUG_PWM_INFO

    5. This example supports the Quadrature Encode test (apps/examples/qencoder)
       but this must be manually enabled by selecting:

       CONFIG_EXAMPLES_QENCODER=y : Enable the apps/examples/qencoder
       CONFIG_SENSORS=y           : Enable support for sensors
       CONFIG_QENCODER=y          : Enable the generic Quadrature Encoder infrastructure
       CONFIG_STM32_TIM8=y        : Enable TIM8
       CONFIG_STM32_TIM2=n        : (Or optionally TIM2)
       CONFIG_STM32_TIM8_QE=y     : Use TIM8 as the quadrature encoder
       CONFIG_STM32_TIM2_QE=y     : (Or optionally TIM2)

       See also apps/examples/README.tx. Special debug options:

       CONFIG_DEBUG_SENSORS

    6. This example supports the watchdog timer test (apps/examples/watchdog)
       but this must be manually enabled by selecting:

       CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG=y : Enable the apps/examples/watchdog
       CONFIG_WATCHDOG=y          : Enables watchdog timer driver support
       CONFIG_STM32_WWDG=y        : Enables the WWDG timer facility, OR
       CONFIG_STM32_IWDG=y        : Enables the IWDG timer facility (but not both)

       The WWDG watchdog is driven off the (fast) 42MHz PCLK1 and, as result,
       has a maximum timeout value of 49 milliseconds.  for WWDG watchdog, you
       should also add the fillowing to the configuration file:

       CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG_PINGDELAY=20
       CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT=49

       The IWDG timer has a range of about 35 seconds and should not be an issue.

     7. USB Support (CDC/ACM device)

        CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS=y          : STM32 OTG FS support
        CONFIG_USBDEV=y               : USB device support must be enabled
        CONFIG_CDCACM=y               : The CDC/ACM driver must be built
        CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y     : NSH built-in application support must be enabled
        CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y         : To perform USB initialization

     8. Using the USB console.

        The STM32F4Discovery NSH configuration can be set up to use a USB CDC/ACM
        (or PL2303) USB console.  The normal way that you would configure the
        the USB console would be to change the .config file like this:

        CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS=y           : STM32 OTG FS support
        CONFIG_USART2_SERIAL_CONSOLE=n : Disable the USART2 console
        CONFIG_DEV_CONSOLE=n           : Inhibit use of /dev/console by other logic
        CONFIG_USBDEV=y                : USB device support must be enabled
        CONFIG_CDCACM=y                : The CDC/ACM driver must be built
        CONFIG_CDCACM_CONSOLE=y        : Enable the CDC/ACM USB console.

        NOTE: When you first start the USB console, you have hit ENTER a few
        times before NSH starts.  The logic does this to prevent sending USB data
        before there is anything on the host side listening for USB serial input.

    9.  Here is an alternative USB console configuration.  The following
        configuration will also create a NSH USB console but this version
        will use /dev/console.  Instead, it will use the normal /dev/ttyACM0
        USB serial device for the console:

        CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS=y           : STM32 OTG FS support
        CONFIG_USART2_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y : Keep the USART2 console
        CONFIG_DEV_CONSOLE=y           : /dev/console exists (but NSH won't use it)
        CONFIG_USBDEV=y                : USB device support must be enabled
        CONFIG_CDCACM=y                : The CDC/ACM driver must be built
        CONFIG_CDCACM_CONSOLE=n        : Don't use the CDC/ACM USB console.
        CONFIG_NSH_USBCONSOLE=y        : Instead use some other USB device for the console

        The particular USB device that is used is:

        CONFIG_NSH_USBCONDEV="/dev/ttyACM0"

        The advantage of this configuration is only that it is easier to
        bet working.  This alternative does has some side effects:

        - When any other device other than /dev/console is used for a user
          interface, linefeeds (\n) will not be expanded to carriage return /
          linefeeds (\r\n).  You will need to set your terminal program to account
          for this.

        - /dev/console still exists and still refers to the serial port. So
          you can still use certain kinds of debug output (see include/debug.h, all
          of the debug output from interrupt handlers will be lost.

        - But don't enable USB debug output!  Since USB is console is used for
          USB debug output and you are using a USB console, there will be
          infinite loops and deadlocks:  Debug output generates USB debug
          output which generatates USB debug output, etc.  If you want USB
          debug output, you should consider enabling USB trace
          (CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE) and perhaps the USB monitor (CONFIG_USBMONITOR).

          See the usbnsh configuration below for more information on configuring
          USB trace output and the USB monitor.

   10. USB OTG FS Host Support.  The following changes will enable support for
       a USB host on the STM32F4Discovery, including support for a mass storage
       class driver:

       Device Drivers ->
         CONFIG_USBDEV=n          : Make sure tht USB device support is disabled
         CONFIG_USBHOST=y         : Enable USB host support
         CONFIG_USBHOST_ISOC_DISABLE=y

       Device Drivers -> USB Host Driver Support
         CONFIG_USBHOST_MSC=y     : Enable the mass storage class

       System Type -> STM32 Peripheral Support
         CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS=y     : Enable the STM32 USB OTG FS block
         CONFIG_STM32_SYSCFG=y    : Needed for all USB OTF FS support

       RTOS Features -> Work Queue Support
         CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE=y : High priority worker thread support is required
         CONFIG_SCHED_HPWORK=y    :   for the mass storage class driver.

       File Systems ->
         CONFIG_FS_FAT=y          : Needed by the USB host mass storage class.

       Board Selection ->
         CONFIG_LIB_BOARDCTL=y    : Needed for CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT

       Application Configuration -> NSH Library
         CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y    : Architecture specific USB initialization
                                  : is needed for NSH

       With those changes, you can use NSH with a FLASH pen driver as shown
       belong.  Here NSH is started with nothing in the USB host slot:

       NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-x.yy
       nsh> ls /dev
       /dev:
        console
        null
        ttyS0

       After inserting the FLASH drive, the /dev/sda appears and can be
       mounted like this:

       nsh> ls /dev
       /dev:
        console
        null
        sda
        ttyS0
       nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/stuff
       nsh> ls /mnt/stuff
       /mnt/stuff:
        -rw-rw-rw-   16236 filea.c

       And files on the FLASH can be manipulated to standard interfaces:

       nsh> echo "This is a test" >/mnt/stuff/atest.txt
       nsh> ls /mnt/stuff
       /mnt/stuff:
        -rw-rw-rw-   16236 filea.c
        -rw-rw-rw-      16 atest.txt
       nsh> cat /mnt/stuff/atest.txt
       This is a test
       nsh> cp /mnt/stuff/filea.c fileb.c
       nsh> ls /mnt/stuff
       /mnt/stuff:
        -rw-rw-rw-   16236 filea.c
        -rw-rw-rw-      16 atest.txt
        -rw-rw-rw-   16236 fileb.c

       To prevent data loss, don't forget to un-mount the FLASH drive
       before removing it:

       nsh> umount /mnt/stuff

   11. I used this configuration to test the USB hub class.  I did this
       testing with the following changes to the configuration (in addition
       to those listed above for base USB host/mass storage class support):

       Drivers -> USB Host Driver Support
         CONFIG_USBHOST_HUB=y     : Enable the hub class
         CONFIG_USBHOST_ASYNCH=y  : Asynchonous I/O supported needed for hubs

       System Type -> USB host configuration
         To be determined

       Board Selection ->
         CONFIG_STM32F4DISCO_USBHOST_STACKSIZE=2048 (bigger than it needs to be)

       RTOS Features -> Work Queue Support
         CONFIG_SCHED_LPWORK=y     : Low priority queue support is needed
         CONFIG_SCHED_LPNTHREADS=1
         CONFIG_SCHED_LPWORKSTACKSIZE=1024

       NOTES:

       1. It is necessary to perform work on the low-priority work queue
          (vs. the high priority work queue) because deferred hub-related
          work requires some delays and waiting that is not appropriate on
          the high priority work queue.

       2. Stack usage make increase when USB hub support is enabled because
          the nesting depth of certain USB host class logic can increase.

       STATUS:
       2015-04-30
          Appears to be fully functional.

  nxlines:
  ------
    An example using the NuttX graphics system (NX).   This example focuses on
    placing lines on the background in various orientations.

      CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows
      CONFIG_LCD_LANDSCAPE=y                  : 320x240 landscape orientation

    The STM32F4Discovery board does not have any graphics capability.  This
    configuration assumes that you have connected an SD1289-based LCD as
    described above under "SSD1289".  NOTE:  At present, it has not been
    proven that the STM32F4Discovery can actually drive an LCD.  There are
    some issues with how some of the dedicated FSMC pins are used on the
    boards.  This configuration may not be useful and may only serve as
    an illustration of how to build for th SSD1289 LCD.

  NOTES:

  1. As of this writing, I have not seen the LCD work!

  2. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
     change this configuration 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.

  3. This configured can be re-configured to use either the
     UG-2864AMBAG01 or UG-2864HSWEG01 0.96 inch OLEDs by adding
     or changing the following items in the configuration (using
     'make menuconfig'):

     +CONFIG_SPI_CMDDATA=y

     -CONFIG_LCD_MAXCONTRAST=1
     -CONFIG_LCD_MAXPOWER=255
     +CONFIG_LCD_MAXCONTRAST=255
     +CONFIG_LCD_MAXPOWER=1

     -CONFIG_LCD_SSD1289=y
     -CONFIG_SSD1289_PROFILE1=y
     +CONFIG_LCD_UG2864AMBAG01=y              : For the UG-2964AMBAG01
     +CONFIG_UG2864AMBAG01_SPIMODE=3
     +CONFIG_UG2864AMBAG01_FREQUENCY=3500000
     +CONFIG_UG2864AMBAG01_NINTERFACES=1

     -CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_1BPP=y
     +CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_16BPP=y

     -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_BGCOLOR=0x00
     +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_LINEWIDTH=4
     +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_LINECOLOR=0x01
     +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_BORDERWIDTH=2
     +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_BORDERCOLOR=0x01
     +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_CIRCLECOLOR=0x00
     +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_BPP=1
     +CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXLINES_EXTERNINIT=y

     There are some issues with with the presentation... some tuning of the
     configuration could fix that.  Lower resolution displays are also more
     subject to the "fat, flat line bug" that I need to fix someday.  See
     http://www.nuttx.org/doku.php?id=wiki:graphics:nxgraphics for a description
     of the fat, flat line bug.

  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 guidelines for power management in your
    STM32 application.

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change this configuration 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.

  posix_spawn:
  ------------
    This configuration directory, performs a simple test os the posix_spawn
    interface using apps/examples/posix_spawn.

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change this configuration 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 toolchain:

       CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y                   : Builds under windows
       CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y                 : Using Cygwin and
       CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : The native Windows CodeSourcery toolchain

    3. By default, this project assumes that you are *NOT* using the DFU
       bootloader.

  pseudoterm:
  -----------

    This is a configuration to test the Pseudo Terminal support for NuttX.

    To test it you will need two USB/Serial dongles. The first dongle as
    usual will be used to main NSH console port in UART2 (PA2 and PA3) and
    the second dongle you will connect to UART3 (PB10 and PB11).

    In the main NSH console (in UART2) type: "pts_test &". It will create a
    new console in UART3. Just press ENTER and start typing commands on it.

  rgbled:
  -------

    Alan Carvalho de Assis has used the STM32F4-Discovery to drive an RGB LED
    using PWM output.  The external RGB connected this way:

     R = TIM1 CH1 on PE9
     G = TIM2 CH2 on PA1
     B = TIM3 CH3 on PB0

    as described about in the section "RGB LED Driver".

    This configuration uses the example at apps/examples/rgbled to drive the
    external RGB LED>

  usbnsh:
  -------

    This is another NSH example.  If differs from other 'nsh' configurations
    in that this configurations uses a USB serial device for console I/O.
    Such a configuration is useful on the stm32f4discovery which has no
    builtin RS-232 drivers.

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change this configuration 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. By default, this configuration uses the CodeSourcery toolchain
       for Windows and builds under Cygwin (or probably MSYS).  That
       can easily be reconfigured, of course.

       CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y                   : Builds under Windows
       CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y                 : Using Cygwin
       CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery for Windows

    3. This configuration does have UART2 output enabled and set up as
       the system logging device:

       CONFIG_SYSLOG_CHAR=y               : Use a character device for system logging
       CONFIG_SYSLOG_DEVPATH="/dev/ttyS0" : UART2 will be /dev/ttyS0

       However, there is nothing to generate SYLOG output in the default
       configuration so nothing should appear on UART2 unless you enable
       some debug output or enable the USB monitor.

       NOTE:  Using the SYSLOG to get debug output has limitations.  Among
       those are that you cannot get debug output from interrupt handlers.
       So, in particularly, debug output is not a useful way to debug the
       USB device controller driver.  Instead, use the USB monitor with
       USB debug off and USB trace on (see below).

    4. Enabling USB monitor SYSLOG output.  If tracing is enabled, the USB
       device will save encoded trace output in in-memory buffer; if the
       USB monitor is enabled, that trace buffer will be periodically
       emptied and dumped to the system logging device (UART2 in this
       configuration):

       CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE=y                   : Enable USB trace feature
       CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE_NRECORDS=128        : Buffer 128 records in memory
       CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_TRACE=n               : No builtin tracing from NSH
       CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y                   : Automatically start the USB monitor
       CONFIG_USBMONITOR=y              : Enable the USB monitor daemon
       CONFIG_USBMONITOR_STACKSIZE=2048 : USB monitor daemon stack size
       CONFIG_USBMONITOR_PRIORITY=50    : USB monitor daemon priority
       CONFIG_USBMONITOR_INTERVAL=2     : Dump trace data every 2 seconds

       CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACEINIT=y    : Enable TRACE output
       CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACECLASS=y
       CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACETRANSFERS=y
       CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACECONTROLLER=y
       CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACEINTERRUPTS=y

    5. By default, this project assumes that you are *NOT* using the DFU
       bootloader.

    Using the Prolifics PL2303 Emulation
    ------------------------------------
    You could also use the non-standard PL2303 serial device instead of
    the standard CDC/ACM serial device by changing:

      CONFIG_CDCACM=n               : Disable the CDC/ACM serial device class
      CONFIG_CDCACM_CONSOLE=n       : The CDC/ACM serial device is NOT the console
      CONFIG_PL2303=y               : The Prolifics PL2303 emulation is enabled
      CONFIG_PL2303_CONSOLE=y       : The PL2303 serial device is the console

  winbuild:
  --------

    This is a version of the apps/example/ostest, but configure to build natively
    in the Windows CMD shell.

    NOTES:

    1. The beginnings of a Windows native build are in place but still not full
       usable as of this writing.  The windows native build logic is currently
       separate and must be started by:

        make -f Makefile.win

      This build:

        - Uses all Windows style paths
        - Uses primarily Windows batch commands from cmd.exe, with
        - A few extensions from GNUWin32 (or MSYS is you prefer)

      In this build, you cannot use a Cygwin or MSYS shell. Rather the build must
      be performed in a Windows console. Here is a better shell than than the
      standard issue, CMD.exe shell:  ConEmu which can be downloaded from:
      http://code.google.com/p/conemu-maximus5/

       CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y                   : Windows
       CONFIG_WINDOWS_NATIVE=y                 : Native Windows environment
       CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows

      Build Tools.  The build still relies on some Unix-like commands.  I use
      the GNUWin32 tools that can be downloaded from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/.
      The MSYS tools are probably also a option but are likely lower performance
      since they are based on Cygwin 1.3.

      Host Compiler:  I use the MingGW compiler which can be downloaded from
      http://www.mingw.org/.  If you are using GNUWin32, then it is recommended
      the you not install the optional MSYS components as there may be conflicts.
