Atmel Studio 6.1
================
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
2014-03-11 17:44:00 +01:00
You can use Atmel Studio 6.1 to load and debug code.
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
2014-03-11 17:44:00 +01:00
- To load code into FLASH:
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
2014-03-11 17:44:00 +01:00
Tools menus: Tools -> Device Programming.
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
Configure the debugger and chip and you are in business.
2014-03-11 17:44:00 +01:00
- Debugging the NuttX Object File:
2014-08-19 19:27:39 +02:00
1) Rename object file from nuttx to nuttx.elf. That is an extension that
will be recognized by the file menu.
2014-03-11 17:44:00 +01:00
2) Select the project name, the full path to the NuttX object (called
just nuttx with no extension), and chip. Take the time to resolve
all of the source file linkages or else you will not have source
level debug!
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
File menu: File -> Open -> Open object file for debugging
- Select nuttx.elf object file
- Select AT91SAM4E16
- Select files for symbols as desired
- Select debugger
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
3) Debug menu: Debug -> Start debugging and break
- This will reload the nuttx.elf file into FLASH
STATUS: At this point, Atmel Studio 6.1 claims that my object files are
not readable. A little more needs to be done to wring out this procedure.
2014-10-13 17:48:46 +02:00
Loading Code with J-Link
========================
Loading code with the Segger tools and GDB
------------------------------------------
1) Change directories into the directory where you built NuttX.
2) Start the GDB server and wait until it is ready to accept GDB
connections.
3) Then run GDB like this:
$ arm-none-eabi-gdb
(gdb) target remote localhost:2331
(gdb) mon reset
(gdb) load nuttx
(gdb) ... start debugging ...
Loading code using J-Link Commander
----------------------------------
J-Link> r
J-Link> loadbin <file> <address>
J-Link> setpc <address of __start>
J-Link> ... start debugging ...
STATUS: As of this writing, I have not been successful writing to FLASH
using the GDB server; the write succeeds with no complaints, but the contents
of the FLASH memory remain unchanged. This may be because of issues with
GPNVM1 settings and flash lock bits? In any event, the GDB server works
great for debugging after writing the program to FLASH using SAM-BA.
2014-10-13 17:48:46 +02:00
Loading Code OpenOCD
====================
OpenOCD scripts are available in the boards/sam4e-ek/tools directory.
2014-10-13 17:48:46 +02:00
These scripts were used with OpenOCD 0.8.0. If you use a version after
OpenOCD 0.8.0, then you should comment out the following lines in the
openocd.cfg file:
# set CHIPNAME SAM4E16E
# source [find target/at91sam4sXX.cfg]
And uncomment this line:
source [find board/atmel_sam4e_ek.cfg]
This have been reported to work under Linux, but I have not been
2014-10-13 20:05:49 +02:00
successful using it under Windows OpenOCD 0.8.0 with libUSB. I get
2014-10-13 17:48:46 +02:00
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.8.0 (2014-04-28-08:42)
...
Error: libusb_open() failed with LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED
Error: Cannot find jlink Interface! Please check connection and permissions.
...
This is telling me that the Segger J-Link USB driver is incompatible
with libUSB. It may be necessary to replace the Segger J-Link driver
with the driver from libusb-win32-device-bin on sourceforge.
2014-10-13 17:48:46 +02:00
- Go into Control Panel/System/Device Manager and update the J-Link
driver to point at the new jlink.inf file made with the
2014-10-13 20:05:49 +02:00
libusb-win32/bin inf-wizard. Browse to the unsigned driver
2014-10-13 17:48:46 +02:00
pointed to by the inf, libusb0.dll from the libusb-win32-device-bin
distribution to complete the installation.
- The Segger driver appeared under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"
in Device Manager (winXP) while the libusb-win32 driver appears as
new top level Dev Mgr category "LibUSB-Win32 Devices".
Writing to FLASH using SAM-BA
=============================
Assumed starting configuration:
1. You have installed the J-Link USB driver
Using SAM-BA to write to FLASH:
1. Start the SAM-BA application, selecting (1) the SAM-ICE/J-Link
port, and (2) board = at91sam4e16-ek.
2. The SAM-BA menu should appear.
3. Select the FLASH tab and enable FLASH access
4. "Send" the file to flash
5. Enable "Boot from Flash (GPNVM1)
6. Reset the board.
STATUS: Works great!
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
LEDs
====
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
The SAM4E-EK board has three, user-controllable LEDs labelled D2 (blue),
D3 (amber), and D4 (green) on the board. Usage of these LEDs is defined
in include/board.h and src/up_leds.c. They are encoded as follows:
SYMBOL Meaning D3* D2 D4
------------------- ----------------------- ------- ------- -------
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started OFF OFF OFF
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF OFF ON
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled OFF ON OFF
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created OFF ON ON
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt** N/C FLASH N/C
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler*** N/C N/C FLASH
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed FLASH N/C N/C
LED_PANIC The system has crashed FLASH N/C N/C
* If D2 and D4 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 D3=OFF, D4=ON and D2 faintly glowing. This faint
glow is because of timer interrupts that result in the LED being
illuminated on a small proportion of the time.
*** D4 may also flicker normally if signals are processed.
Serial Console
==============
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
By default, all of these configurations use UART0 for the NuttX serial
console. UART0 corresponds to the DB-9 connector J17 labelled "DBGU".
This is a male connector and will require a female-to-female, NUL modem
cable to connect to a PC.
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
An alternate is USART1 which connects to the other DB-9 connector labelled
"USART1". USART1 is not enabled by default unless specifically noted
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
otherwise in the configuration description. A NUL modem cable must be
used with the port as well.
NOTE: To avoid any electrical conflict, the RS232 and RS485 transceiver
are isolated from the receiving line PA21.
- Chose RS485 channel: Close 1-2 pins on JP11 and set PA23 to high level
- Chose RS232 channel: Close 2-3 pins on JP11 and set PA23 to low level
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
By default serial console is configured for 115000, 8-bit, 1 stop bit, and
no parity.
Networking Support
==================
Networking support via the can be added to NSH by selecting the following
configuration options.
Selecting the EMAC peripheral
-----------------------------
System Type -> SAM34 Peripheral Support
CONFIG_SAM34_EMAC=y : Enable the EMAC peripheral
System Type -> EMAC device driver options
CONFIG_SAM34_EMAC_NRXBUFFERS=16 : Set aside some RS and TX buffers
CONFIG_SAM34_EMAC_NTXBUFFERS=4
CONFIG_SAM34_EMAC_PHYADDR=1 : KSZ8051 PHY is at address 1
CONFIG_SAM34_EMAC_AUTONEG=y : Use autonegotiation
CONFIG_SAM34_EMAC_MII=y : Only the MII interface is supported
CONFIG_SAM34_EMAC_PHYSR=30 : Address of PHY status register on KSZ8051
CONFIG_SAM34_EMAC_PHYSR_ALTCONFIG=y : Needed for KSZ8051
CONFIG_SAM34_EMAC_PHYSR_ALTMODE=0x7 : " " " " " "

CONFIG_SAM34_EMAC_PHYSR_100FD=0x6 : " " " " " "
PHY selection. Later in the configuration steps, you will need to select
the KSZ8051 PHY for EMAC (See below)
Networking Support
CONFIG_NET=y : Enable Neworking
CONFIG_NET_SOCKOPTS=y : Enable socket operations
This commit attempts remove some long standard confusion in naming and some actual problems that result from the naming confusion. The basic problem is the standard MTU does not include the size of the Ethernet header. For clarity, I changed the naming of most things called MTU to PKTSIZE. For example, CONFIG_NET_ETH_MTU is now CONFIG_NET_ETH_PKTSIZE. This makes the user interface a little hostile. People thing of an MTU of 1500 bytes, but the corresponding packet is really 1514 bytes (including the 14 byte Ethernet header). A more friendly solution would configure the MTU (as before), but then derive the packet buffer size by adding the MAC header length. Instead, we define the packet buffer size then derive the MTU. The MTU is not common currency in networking. On the wire, the only real issue is the MSS which is derived from MTU by subtracting the IP header and TCP header sizes (for the case of TCP). Now it is derived for the PKTSIZE by subtracting the IP header, the TCP header, and the MAC header sizes. So we should be all good and without the recurring 14 byte error in MTU's and MSS's. Squashed commit of the following: Trivial update to fix some spacing issues. net/: Rename several macros containing _MTU to _PKTSIZE. net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_SLIP_MTU to CONFIG_NET_SLIP_PKTSIZE and similarly for CONFIG_NET_TUN_MTU. These are not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header. These are the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes). net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_6LOWPAN_MTU to CONFIG_NET_6LOWPAN_PKTSIZE and similarly for CONFIG_NET_TUN_MTU. These are not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header. These are the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes). net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_ETH_MTU to CONFIG_NET_ETH_PKTSIZE. This is not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header. This is the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes). net/: Rename the file d_mtu in the network driver structure to d_pktsize. That value saved there is not the MTU. The packetsize is the memory large enough to hold the maximum packet PLUS the size of the link layer header. The MTU does not include the link layer header.
2018-07-04 22:10:40 +02:00
CONFIG_NET_ETH_PKTSIZE=562 : Maximum packet size 1518 is more standard

CONFIG_NSH_DRIPADDR=0x0a000001 : IP address of gateway/host PC
CONFIG_NSH_NETMASK=0xffffff00 : Netmask
CONFIG_NSH_NOMAC=y : Need to make up a bogus MAC address
: Defaults should be okay for other options
You can also enable enable the DHCPC client for networks that use
dynamically assigned address:
Application Configuration -> Network Utilities
CONFIG_NETUTILS_DHCPC=y : Enables the DHCP client
Networking Support
CONFIG_NET_UDP=y : Depends on broadcast UDP
Application Configuration -> NSH Library
CONFIG_NET_BROADCAST=y
CONFIG_NSH_DHCPC=y : Tells NSH to use DHCPC, not
: the fixed addresses
Using the network with NSH
--------------------------
So what can you do with this networking support? First you see that
NSH has several new network related commands:
ifconfig, ifdown, ifup: Commands to help manage your network
get and put: TFTP file transfers
wget: HTML file transfers
ping: Check for access to peers on the network
Telnet console: You can access the NSH remotely via telnet.
You can also enable other add on features like full FTP or a Web
Server or XML RPC and others. There are also other features that
you can enable like DHCP client (or server) or network name
resolution.
By default, the IP address of the SAM4E-EK will be 10.0.0.2 and
it will assume that your host is the gateway and has the IP address
10.0.0.1.
nsh> ifconfig
eth0 HWaddr 00:e0:de:ad:be:ef at UP
IPaddr:10.0.0.2 DRaddr:10.0.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
You can use ping to test for connectivity to the host (Careful,
Window firewalls usually block ping-related ICMP traffic). On the
target side, you can:
nsh> ping 10.0.0.1
PING 10.0.0.1 56 bytes of data
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=4 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=5 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=6 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=7 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=8 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=9 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=10 time=0 ms
10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 10100 ms
NOTE: In this configuration is is normal to have packet loss > 0%
the first time you ping due to the default handling of the ARP
table.
On the host side, you should also be able to ping the SAM4E-EK:
$ ping 10.0.0.2
You can also log into the NSH from the host PC like this:
$ telnet 10.0.0.2
Trying 10.0.0.2...
Connected to 10.0.0.2.

NOTE: If you enable this feature, you experience a delay on booting.
That is because the start-up logic waits for the network connection
to be established before starting NuttX. In a real application, you
would probably want to do the network bringup on a separate thread
so that access to the NSH prompt is not delayed.
This delay will be especially long if the board is not connected to
a network because additional time will be required to fail with timeout
errors.
This delay will be especially long if the board is not connected to
a network. On the order of a minute! You will probably think that
NuttX has crashed! And then, when it finally does come up, the
network will not be available.
Network Initialization Thread
-----------------------------
There is a configuration option enabled by CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_THREAD
that will do the NSH network bring-up asynchronously in parallel on
a separate thread. This eliminates the (visible) networking delay
altogether. This current implementation, however, has some limitations:
- If no network is connected, the network bring-up will fail and
the network initialization thread will simply exit. There are no
retries and no mechanism to know if the network initialization was
successful (it could perform a network Ioctl to see if the link is
up and it now, keep trying, but it does not do that now).
- Furthermore, there is currently no support for detecting loss of
network connection and recovery of the connection (similarly, this
thread could poll periodically for network status, but does not).
Both of these shortcomings could be eliminated by enabling the network
monitor. See the SAMA5 configurations for a description of what it would
take to incorporate the network monitor feature.
AT25 Serial FLASH
=================
Connections
-----------
Both the SAM4E-EK include an Atmel AT25DF321A, 32-megabit, 2.7-volt
SPI serial flash. The SPI
connection is as follows:
------ ------- ---------------
SAM4E AT25 SAM4E
GPIO PIN FUNCTION
------ ------- ---------------
PA13 SI MOSI
PA12 SO MIS0
PA14 SCK SPCK
PA5 /CS NPCS3 (pulled high externally)
------ ------- ---------------
Configuration
-------------
Support for the serial FLASH can be enabled in these configurations. These
are the relevant configuration settings. These settings (1) Enable SPI0,
(2) Enable DMAC0 to support DMA transfers on SPI for best performance,
(3) Enable the AT25 Serial FLASH, and (3) Set up NuttX to configure the
file system on the AT25 FLASH:
System Type -> ATSAM3/4 Peripheral Support
CONFIG_SAM34_SPI0=y : Enable SPI0
CONFIG_SAM34_DMAC0=y : Enable DMA controller 0
System Type -> SPI device driver options
CONFIG_SAM34_SPI_DMA=y : Use DMA for SPI transfers
CONFIG_SAM34_SPI_DMATHRESHOLD=4 : Don't DMA for small transfers
Device Drivers -> SPI Driver Support
CONFIG_SPI=y : Enable SPI support
CONFIG_SPI_EXCHANGE=y : Support the exchange method
Device Drivers -> Memory Technology Device (MTD) Support
CONFIG_MTD=y : Enable MTD support
CONFIG_MTD_AT25=y : Enable the AT25 driver
CONFIG_AT25_SPIMODE=0 : Use SPI mode 0
CONFIG_AT25_SPIFREQUENCY=20000000 : Use SPI frequency 12MHz
The AT25 is capable of operation at 20MHz. However, if you experience
any issues with the AT25, then lower this frequency may give more
predictable performance.
File Systems -> FAT
CONFIG_FS_FAT=y : Enable and configure FAT
CONFIG_FAT_LCNAMES=y : Upper/lower case names
CONFIG_FAT_LFN=y : Long file name support (See NOTE)
CONFIG_FAT_MAXFNAME=32 : Limit filename sizes to 32 bytes
NOTE: Use care if you plan to use FAT long file name feature in a product;
There are issues with certain Microsoft patents on the long file name
technology.
Application Configuration -> NSH Library
CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y : NSH board-initialization
Board Selection
CONFIG_SAM4EEK_AT25_BLOCKMOUNT=y : Mounts AT25 for NSH
CONFIG_SAM4EEK_AT25_FTL=y : Create block driver for FAT
You can then format the AT25 FLASH for a FAT file system and mount the
file system at /mnt/at25 using these NSH commands:
nsh> mkfatfs /dev/mtdblock0
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/at25
Then you an use the FLASH as a normal FAT file system:
nsh> echo "This is a test" >/mnt/at25/atest.txt
nsh> ls -l /mnt/at25
/mnt/at25:
-rw-rw-rw- 16 atest.txt
nsh> cat /mnt/at25/atest.txt
This is a test
USB Full-Speed Device
=====================
Basic USB Full-Speed Device Configuration
-----------------------------------------
2014-03-18 23:33:36 +01:00
Support the USB full-speed device (UDP) driver can be enabled with these
NuttX configuration settings.
Device Drivers -> USB Device Driver Support
CONFIG_USBDEV=y : Enable USB device support
CONFIG_USBDEV_DUALSPEED=n : Device does not support High-Speed
CONFIG_USBDEV_DMA=n : Device does not use DMA
System Type -> ATSAM3/4 Peripheral Support
CONFIG_SAM34_UDP=y : Enable UDP Full Speed USB device
Application Configuration -> NSH Library
CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y : NSH board-initialization
Mass Storage Class
------------------
The Mass Storage Class (MSC) class driver can be selected for use with
UDP. Note: The following assumes that the internal AT25 Serial FLASH
is configured to support a FAT file system through an FTL layer as
described about under "AT25 Serial FLASH".
Device Drivers -> USB Device Driver Support
CONFIG_USBMSC=y : Enable the USB MSC class driver
2014-03-20 22:21:26 +01:00
CONFIG_USBMSC_EPBULKOUT=1 : Use EP1 for the BULK OUT endpoint
CONFIG_USBMSC_EPBULKIN=2 : Use EP2 for the BULK IN endpoint
CONFIG_USBMSC_BULKINREQLEN=64 : (Defaults for full speed)
CONFIG_USBMSC_BULKOUTREQLEN=64 :
: Defaults for other settings as well?
Board Selection
CONFIG_SAM4EEK_AT25_BLOCKDEVICE=y : Export AT25 serial FLASH device
CONFIG_SAM4EEK_HSMCI_BLOCKDEVICE=n : Don't export HSMCI SD card
Note: If properly configured, you could export the HSMCI SD card instead
of the internal AT25 Serial FLASH.
The following setting enables an add-on that can can be used to control
the USB MSC device. It will add two new NSH commands:
a. msconn will connect the USB serial device and export the AT25
to the host, and
b. msdis which will disconnect the USB serial device.
Application Configuration -> System Add-Ons:
CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMSC=y : Enable the USBMSC add-on
CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMSC_NLUNS=1 : One LUN
CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMSC_DEVMINOR1=0 : Minor device zero
CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMSC_DEVPATH1="/dev/mtdblock0"
: Use a single, LUN: The AT25
: block driver.
NOTES:
a. To prevent file system corruption, make sure that the AT25 is un-
mounted *before* exporting the mass storage device to the host:
nsh> umount /mnt/at25
nsh> mscon
The AT25 can be re-mounted after the mass storage class is disconnected:
nsh> msdis
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/at25
b. If you change the value CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMSC_DEVPATH1, then you
can export other file systems:
"/dev/mmcsd0" would export the HSMCI SD slot (not currently available,
see the "HSMCI" section).
"/dev/ram0" could even be used to export a RAM disk. But you would
first have to use mkrd to create the RAM disk and mkfatfs to put
a FAT file system on it.
STATUS:
2014-3-25: Marginally functional. Very slow to come up. USB analyzer
shows several resets before the host decides that it is
happy with the device. There are no obvious errors in the
USB data capture. Testing is insufficient. This needs to
be revisited.
Last tested at 96MHz with the CMCC disabled.
CDC/ACM Serial Device Class
---------------------------
This will select the CDC/ACM serial device. Defaults for the other
options should be okay.
Device Drivers -> USB Device Driver Support
CONFIG_CDCACM=y : Enable the CDC/ACM device
CONFIG_CDCACM_EPINTIN=1 : Select endpoint numbers
CONFIG_CDCACM_EPBULKOUT=2
CONFIG_CDCACM_EPBULKIN=3
The following setting enables an example that can can be used to control
the CDC/ACM device. It will add two new NSH commands:
a. sercon will connect the USB serial device (creating /dev/ttyACM0), and
b. serdis which will disconnect the USB serial device (destroying
/dev/ttyACM0).
Application Configuration -> Examples:
CONFIG_SYSTEM_CDCACM=y : Enable an CDC/ACM example
CONFIG_SYSTEM_CDCACM_DEVMINOR=0 : Use /dev/ttyUSB0
NOTES:
1. You cannot have both the CDC/ACM and the MSC class drivers enabled
simultaneously in the way described here. If you want to use both, then
you will need to consider a USB "composite" devices that support supports
both interfaces. There are no instructures here for setting up the USB
composite device, but there are other examples in the NuttX board support
directories that can be used for reference.
2. Linux supports the CDC/ACM driver out of the box. Windows, on the other
than requires that you first install a serial driver (a .inf file).
3. There is hand-shaking to pace incoming serial data. As a result, you may
experience data loss due to RX overrun errors. The overrun errors occur
when more data is received than can be buffered in memory on the target.
At present, the only workaround is to increase the amount of buffering
in the target. That allow the target to accept short bursts of larger
volumes of data (but would still fail on sustained, high speed incoming
data. The following configuration options can be changed to increase
the buffering.
1. RX buffer size. All incoming data is buffered by the serial driver
until it can be read by the application. The default size of this
RX buffer is only 256 but can be increased as you see fit:
CONFIG_CDCACM_RXBUFSIZE=256 : Default RX buffer size is only 256 bytes
2. Upstream from the RX buffers are USB read request buffers. Each
buffer is the maximum size of one USB packet (64 byte) and that cannot
really be changed. But if you want to increase this upstream buffering
capability, you can increase the number of available read requests.
The default is four, providing an additional buffering capability of
of 4*64=256 bytes.
Each read request receives data from USB, copies the data into the
serial RX buffer, and then is available to receive more data. This
recycling of read requests stalls as soon as the serial RX buffer is
full. Data loss occurs when there are no available read requests to
accept the next packet from the host. So increasing the number of
read requests can also help to minimize RX overrun:
CONFIG_CDCACM_NRDREQS=4 : Default is only 4 read requests
STATUS:
2013-2-23: Checks out OK. See discussion of the usbnsh configuration
below.
Debugging USB Device
--------------------
There is normal console debug output available that can be enabled with
CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES + CONFIG_DEBUG_USB. However, USB device operation is very
time critical and enabling this debug output WILL interfere with the
2014-03-18 23:33:36 +01:00
operation of the UDP. USB device tracing is a less invasive way to get
debug information: If tracing is enabled, the USB device will save
encoded trace output in in-memory buffer; if the USB monitor is also
enabled, that trace buffer will be periodically emptied and dumped to the
system logging device (the serial console in this configuration):
Device Drivers -> "USB Device Driver Support:
CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE=y : Enable USB trace feature
CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE_NRECORDS=256 : Buffer 256 records in memory
CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE_STRINGS=y : (optional)
If you get data loss in the trace buffer, then you may want to increase the
CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE_NRECORDS. I have used buffers up to 4096 records to
avoid data loss.
Application Configuration -> NSH LIbrary:
CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_TRACE=n : No builtin tracing from NSH
CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y : Automatically start the USB monitor
Application Configuration -> System NSH Add-Ons:
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=1 : Dump trace data every second
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACEINIT=y : Enable TRACE output
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACECLASS=y
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACETRANSFERS=y
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACECONTROLLER=y
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACEINTERRUPTS=y
NOTE: If USB debug output is also enabled, both outputs will appear on the
serial console. However, the debug output will be asynchronous with the
trace output and, hence, difficult to interpret.
HSMCI
=====
Enabling HSMCI support. The SAM3U-KE provides a an SD memory card slot.
Support for the SD slot can be enabled with the following settings:
System Type->ATSAM3/4 Peripheral Support
CONFIG_SAM34_HSMCI=y : Enable HSMCI support
CONFIG_SAM34_DMAC0=y : DMAC support is needed by HSMCI
System Type
CONFIG_SAM34_GPIO_IRQ=y : PIO interrupts needed
CONFIG_SAM34_GPIOA_IRQ=y : Card detect pin is on PIOA
Device Drivers -> MMC/SD Driver Support
CONFIG_MMCSD=y : Enable MMC/SD support
CONFIG_MMCSD_NSLOTS=1 : One slot per driver instance
CONFIG_MMCSD_HAVE_CARDDETECT=y : Supports card-detect PIOs
CONFIG_MMCSD_SDIO=y : SDIO-based MMC/SD support
CONFIG_MMCSD_MULTIBLOCK_LIMIT=1 : Probably works but is untested
CONFIG_SDIO_DMA=y : Use SDIO DMA
CONFIG_SDIO_BLOCKSETUP=y : Needs to know block sizes
Library Routines
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE=y : Driver needs work queue support
: Defaults for other settings okay
Application Configuration -> NSH Library
CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y : NSH board-initialization
CONFIG_NSH_MMCSDSLOTNO=0 : Only one slot, slot 0
After an SD card is successfully initialized, the block device /dev/mmcsd0
will be available. To mount the SD card, use the following NSH command:
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/sdcard
The SD card contents will then be available under /mnt/sdcard.
NOTES:
1. DMA is not currently functional and without DMA, there may not be
reliable data transfers at high speeds due to data overrun problems.
The current HSMCI driver supports DMA via the DMAC. However, the data
sheet only discusses PDC-based HSMCI DMA (although there is a DMA
channel interface definition for HSMCI).
Bottom line: Untested and probably not usable on the SAM4E-EK in its
current form.
Touchscreen
===========
The NSH configuration can be used to verify the ADS7843E touchscreen on
the SAM4E-EK LCD. With these modifications, you can include the touchscreen
test program at apps/examples/touchscreen as an NSH built-in application.
You can enable the touchscreen and test by modifying the default
configuration in the following ways:
Device Drivers
CONFIG_SPI=y : Enable SPI support
CONFIG_SPI_EXCHANGE=y : The exchange() method is supported
CONFIG_INPUT=y : Enable support for input devices
CONFIG_INPUT_ADS7843E=y : Enable support for the ADS7843E
CONFIG_ADS7843E_SPIDEV=0 : Use SPI CS 0 for communication
CONFIG_ADS7843E_SPIMODE=0 : Use SPI mode 0
CONFIG_ADS7843E_FREQUENCY=1000000 : SPI BAUD 1MHz
CONFIG_ADS7843E_SWAPXY=y : If landscape orientation
CONFIG_ADS7843E_THRESHX=51 : These will probably need to be tuned
CONFIG_ADS7843E_THRESHY=39
System Type -> Peripherals:
CONFIG_SAM34_SPI0=y : Enable support for SPI
System Type:
CONFIG_SAM34_GPIO_IRQ=y : GPIO interrupt support
CONFIG_SAM34_GPIOA_IRQ=y : Enable GPIO interrupts from port A
Library Support:
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE=y : Work queue support required
Application Configuration:
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_TOUCHSCREEN=y : Enable the touchscreen built-in test
Defaults should be okay for related touchscreen settings. Touchscreen
debug output on UART0 can be enabled with:
Build Setup:
CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES=y : Enable debug features
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y : Enable verbose debug output
CONFIG_DEBUG_INPUT=y : Enable debug output from input devices

ILI9325/41-Based LCD
=================
The SAM4E-EK carries a TFT transmissive LCD module with touch panel,
2014-08-20 19:45:01 +02:00
FTM280C34D. Its integrated driver IC is either a ILI9325 ILI9342 (the
original schematics said ILI9325, but I learned the hard way that I had
an ILI9341-based LCD). The LCD display area is 2.8 inches diagonally
measured, with a native resolution of 240 x 320
dots.
Connectivity
------------
The SAM4E16 communicates with the LCD through PIOC where an 8-bit
parallel "8080-like" protocol data bus has to be implemented in
software.

Backlight
---------
LCD backlight is made of 4 white chip LEDs in parallel, driven by an
AAT3155 charge pump, MN4. The AAT3155 is controlled by the SAM3U4E
through a single line Simple Serial Control (S2Cwire) interface, which
permits to enable, disable, and set the LED drive current (LED
brightness control) from a 32-level logarithmic scale. Four resistors
R93/R94/R95/R96 are implemented for optional current limitation.

Configuration
-------------
2014-08-20 19:45:01 +02:00
This is the basic configuration that enables the ILI9341-based LCD.
Of course additional settings would be necessary to enable the graphic
capabilities to do anything with the LCD.

2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
Configurations
==============
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
Information Common to All Configurations
----------------------------------------
Each SAM4E-EK configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:
tools/configure.sh sam4e-ek:<subdir>
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
Before building, make sure the PATH environment variable includes the
correct path to the directory than holds your toolchain binaries.
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
And then build NuttX by simply typing the following. At the conclusion of
the make, the nuttx binary will reside in an ELF file called, simply, nuttx.
make
The <subdir> that is provided above as an argument to the tools/configure.sh
must be is one of the following.
NOTES:
1. These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool. To
change any of 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.
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
reconfiguration process.
2. Unless stated otherwise, all configurations generate console
output on UART0 (J3).
3. All of these configurations are set up to build under Linux using the
EABI buildroot toolchain (unless stated otherwise in the description of
the configuration). That build selection can easily be reconfigured
using 'make menuconfig'. Here are the relevant current settings:
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y : Linux or other pure POSIX invironment
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : Buildroot toolchain
CONFIG_ARMV7M_OABI_TOOLCHAIN=n : EABI (Not OABI
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
If you want to use the Atmel GCC toolchain, for example, here are the
steps to do so:
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Windows
CONFIG_HOST_CYGWIN=y : Using Cygwin or other POSIX environment
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABI=y : General GCC EABI toolchain under windows
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
Library Routines ->
CONFIG_ARCH_SIZET_LONG=n : size_t is an unsigned int, not long
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
This re-configuration should be done before making NuttX or else the
subsequent 'make' will fail. If you have already attempted building
NuttX then you will have to 1) 'make distclean' to remove the old
configuration, 2) 'tools/configure.sh sam4e-ek/ksnh' to start
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
with a fresh configuration, and 3) perform the configuration changes
above.
Also, make sure that your PATH variable has the new path to your
Atmel tools. Try 'which arm-none-eabi-gcc' to make sure that you
are selecting the right tool.
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
See also the "NOTE about Windows native toolchains" in the section call
"GNU Toolchain Options" above.
Configuration sub-directories
-----------------------------
nsh:
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh. The
Configuration enables both the serial and telnetd NSH interfaces.
NOTES:
1. This configuration runs with a CPU clock of 120MHz and with the
the CMCC enabled. If you disable these, then you must also
re-calibrate the delay loop.
2. Default stack sizes are large and should really be tuned to reduce
the RAM footprint:
CONFIG_ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK=2048
CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE=1024
CONFIG_INIT_STACKSIZE=2048
CONFIG_PTHREAD_STACK_DEFAULT=2048
... and others ...
3. NSH built-in applications are supported.
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
Binary Formats:
CONFIG_BUILTIN=y : Enable support for built-in programs
Application Configuration:
2014-03-10 22:18:46 +01:00
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y : Enable starting apps from NSH command line
4. This configuration has the network enabled by default. This can be
easily disabled or reconfigured (See see the network related
configuration settings above in the section entitled "Networking").
NOTE: In boot-up sequence is very simple in this example; all
2014-08-19 18:38:35 +02:00
initialization is done sequentially (vs. in parallel) and so you will
not see the NSH prompt until all initialization is complete. The
network bring-up in particular will add some delay before the NSH
prompt appears. In a real application, you would probably want to
do the network bringup on a separate thread so that access to the
NSH prompt is not delayed.
This delay will be especially long if the board is not connected to
a network because additional time will be required to fail with
timeout errors. This delay can be eliminated, however, if you enable
an NSH initialization option as described above in a paragraph
entitled, "Network Initialization Thread."
STATUS:
2014-3-13: The basic NSH serial console is working. Network support
has been verified.
5. This configuration supports a network with fixed IP address. You
may have to change these settings for your network:
CONFIG_NSH_IPADDR=0x0a000002 : IP address: 10.0.0.2
CONFIG_NSH_DRIPADDR=0x0a000001 : Gateway: 10.0.0.1
CONFIG_NSH_NETMASK=0xffffff00 : Netmask: 255.255.255.0
You can also enable enable the DHCPC client for networks that use
dynamically assigned address:
CONFIG_NETUTILS_DHCPC=y : Enables the DHCP client
CONFIG_NET_UDP=y : Depends on broadcast UDP
CONFIG_NET_BROADCAST=y
CONFIG_NSH_DHCPC=y : Tells NSH to use DHCPC, not
: the fixed addresses
6. This configuration has the DMA-based SPI0 and AT25 Serial FLASH
support enabled by default. This can be easily disabled or
reconfigured (See see the configuration settings and usage notes
above in the section entitled "AT25 Serial FLASH").
To mount the AT25 Serial FLASH as a FAT file system:
nsh>mount -t vfat /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/at25
STATUS:
2014-3-14: The DMA-based SPI appears to be functional and can be used
to support a FAT file system on the AT25 Serial FLASH.
7. USB device support is not enabled in this configuration by default.
To add USB device support to this configuration, see the instructions
above under "USB Full-Speed Device."
STATUS:
2014-3-21: USB support is partially functional. Additional test and
integration is required. See STATUS in the "USB Full-Speed
Device" for further information
2014-3-22: USB seems to work properly (there are not obvious errors
in a USB bus capture. However, as of this data the AT25
does not mount on either the Linux or Windows host. This
needs to be retested.
2014-08-19 18:38:35 +02:00
8. Enabling HSMCI support. The SAM3U-KE provides a an SD memory card
slot. Support for the SD slot can be enabled following the
instructions provided above in the paragraph entitled "HSMCI."
2014-08-19 18:38:35 +02:00
9. This configuration has been used for verifying the touchscreen on
on the SAM4E-EK LCD module.
The NSH configuration can be used to verify the ADS7843E touchscreen on
the SAM4E-EK LCD. With these modifications, you can include the touchscreen
test program at apps/examples/touchscreen as an NSH built-in application.
You can enable the touchscreen and test by modifying the default
configuration in the following ways:

STATUS:
2014-30-24: DMA is not currently functional and without DMA, there
may not be reliable data transfers at high speeds due
to data overrun problems. The current HSMCI driver
supports DMA via the DMAC. However, the data sheet
only discusses PDC-based HSMCI DMA (although there is
a DMA channel interface definition for HSMCI). So
this is effort is dead-in-the-water for now.
2014-05-15: The HSCMCI driver has been recently updated to support
PCD DMA. That modified driver, however, has not yet
been tested with the SAM4E-EK
2014-05-14: The touchscreen interface was successfully verified.
2014-08-20 19:45:01 +02:00
2014-08-20: The LCD interface is fully implemented and data appears
to be transferred okay. However, there are errors in
geometry that leave the LCD unusable still.
The LCD backlight appears to be functional.
usbnsh:
This is another NSH example. If differs from the 'nsh' configuration
in that this configurations uses a USB serial device for console I/O.
STATUS:
2014-3-23: This configuration appears to be fully functional.
NOTES:
1. See the NOTES in the description of the nsh configuration. Those
notes all apply here as well. Some additional notes unique to
the USB console version follow:
2. The configuration differences between this configuration and the
nsh configuration is:
a. USB device support is enabled as described in the paragraph
entitled "USB Full-Speed Device",
b. The CDC/ACM serial class is enabled as described in the paragraph
"CDC/ACM Serial Device Class".
c. The serial console is disabled:
RTOS Features:
CONFIG_DEV_CONSOLE=n : No console at boot time
Driver Support -> USB Device Driver Support
CONFIG_UART0_SERIAL_CONSOLE=n : UART0 is not the console
CONFIG_NO_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y : There is no serial console
Driver Support -> USB Device Driver Support
CONFIG_CDCACM_CONSOLE=y : USB CDC/ACM console
d. Support for debug output on UART0 is provided as described in the
next note.
3. If you send large amounts of data to the target, you may see data
loss due to RX overrun errors. See the NOTES in the section entitled
"CDC/ACM Serial Device Class" for an explanation and some possible
work-arounds.
3. This configuration does have UART0 output enabled and set up as
the system logging device:
File Systems -> Advanced SYSLOG Features
CONFIG_SYSLOG_CHAR=y : Use a character device for system logging
CONFIG_SYSLOG_DEVPATH="/dev/ttyS0" : UART0 will be /dev/ttyS0
However, there is nothing to generate SYSLOG output in the default
configuration so nothing should appear on UART0 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. See the paragraph entitle
"Debugging USB Device" for a summary of the configuration settings
needed to enable the USB monitor and get USB debug data out UART0.
5. By default, this configuration uses the CDC/ACM serial device to
provide the USB console. This works out-of-the-box for Linux.
Windows, on the other hand, will require a CDC/ACM device driver
(.inf file).
5. 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

nxwm:
This is a special configuration setup for the NxWM window manager
UnitTest. It integrates support for both the SAM4E-EK ILI9341 LCDC and
the SAM4E-EK ADS7843E touchscreen controller and provides a more
advanced graphics demo. It provides an interactive windowing experience.
The NxWM window manager is a tiny window manager tailored for use
with smaller LCDs. It supports a task, a start window, and
multiple application windows with toolbars. However, to make the best
use of the visible LCD space, only one application window is visible at
at time.
The NxWM window manager can be found here:

STATUS:
2014-08-20. I have seen the demo work well but it is not thoroughly
exercised. I suspect some touchscreen issues.
2014-10-11. Today's build crashes in nxwm_main on startup.
