Status/Open Issues
==================
2015-11-30: The basic NSH configuration is function with serial console
via the EDBG VCOM and LED and buttons support. SDRAM and the HSMCI
SD card slot also appear to be fully functional.

Serial Console
==============
The SAME70-XPLD has no on-board RS-232 drivers so it will be necessary to
use either the VCOM or an external RS-232 driver. Here are some options.
- Arduino Serial Shield: One option is to use an Arduino-compatible
serial shield. This will use the RXD and TXD signals available at pins
0 an 1, respectively, of the Arduino "Digital Low" connector. On the
SAME70-XPLD board, this corresponds to UART3:

In this configuration, an external RS232 driver can also be used
instead of the shield. Simply connext as follows:

Any of these options can be selected as the serial console by:
1. Enabling the UART/USART peripheral in the
"System Type -> Peripheral Selection" menu, then
2. Configuring the peripheral in the "Drivers -> Serial Configuration"
menu.
2015-12-01 00:37:01 +01:00
NOTE: If USART1 is used (TXD1, RXD1), then PB4 must be reconfigured in the
SUPC. Normally, PB4 is TDI. When it is reconfigured for use with USART1,
the capability to debug is lost! If you plan to debug you should most
certainly not use USART1.

SD Card
=======
Card Slot
---------
The SAM E70 Xplained has one standard SD card connector that is connected to
the High Speed Multimedia Card Interface (HSMCI) of the SAM
E70. SD card connector:

Configuration Settings
----------------------
Enabling HSMCI support. The SAMV7-XULT provides a one, full-size SD memory
card slots. The full size SD card slot connects via HSMCI0. Support for
the SD slots can be enabled with the following settings:
System Type->SAMV7 Peripheral Selection
CONFIG_SAMV7_HSMCI0=y : To enable HSMCI0 support
CONFIG_SAMV7_XDMAC=y : XDMAC is needed by HSMCI0/1
System Type
CONFIG_SAMV7_GPIO_IRQ=y : PIO interrupts needed
CONFIG_SAMV7_GPIOD_IRQ=y : Card detect pin is on PD18
Device Drivers -> MMC/SD Driver Support
CONFIG_MMCSD=y : Enable MMC/SD support
CONFIG_MMSCD_NSLOTS=1 : One slot per driver instance
CONFIG_MMCSD_MULTIBLOCK_LIMIT=1 : (REVISIT)
CONFIG_MMCSD_HAVE_CARDDETECT=y : Supports card-detect PIOs
CONFIG_MMCSD_MMCSUPPORT=n : Interferes with some SD cards
CONFIG_MMCSD_SPI=n : No SPI-based MMC/SD support
CONFIG_MMCSD_SDIO=y : SDIO-based MMC/SD support
CONFIG_SDIO_DMA=y : Use SDIO DMA
CONFIG_SDIO_BLOCKSETUP=y : Needs to know block sizes
RTOS Features -> Work Queue Support
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE=y : Driver needs work queue support
Application Configuration -> NSH Library
CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y : NSH board-initialization, OR
CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INITIALIZE=y
Using the SD card
-----------------
1) After booting, the HSCMI device will appear as /dev/mmcsd0.
2) If you try mounting an SD card with nothing in the slot, the mount will
fail:
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/sd0
nsh: mount: mount failed: 19
NSH can be configured to provide errors as strings instead of
numbers. But in this case, only the error number is reported. The
error numbers can be found in nuttx/include/errno.h:
#define ENODEV 19
#define ENODEV_STR "No such device"
So the mount command is saying that there is no device or, more
correctly, that there is no card in the SD card slot.
3) Inserted the SD card. Then the mount should succeed.
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/sd0
nsh> ls /mnt/sd1
/mnt/sd1:
atest.txt
nsh> cat /mnt/sd1/atest.txt
This is a test
NOTE: See the next section entitled "Auto-Mounter" for another way
to mount your SD card.
4) Before removing the card, you must umount the file system. This is
equivalent to "ejecting" or "safely removing" the card on Windows: It
flushes any cached data to an SD card and makes the SD card unavailable
to the applications.
nsh> umount -t /mnt/sd0
It is now safe to remove the card. NuttX provides into callbacks
that can be used by an application to automatically unmount the
volume when it is removed. But those callbacks are not used in
these configurations.
Auto-Mounter
============
NuttX implements an auto-mounter than can make working with SD cards
easier. With the auto-mounter, the file system will be automatically
mounted when the SD card is inserted into the HSMCI slot and automatically
unmounted when the SD card is removed.
Here is a sample configuration for the auto-mounter:
File System Configuration
CONFIG_FS_AUTOMOUNTER=y
Board-Specific Options
CONFIG_SAMV7_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT=y
CONFIG_SAMV7_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_FSTYPE="vfat"
CONFIG_SAMV7_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_BLKDEV="/dev/mmcsd0"
CONFIG_SAMV7_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_MOUNTPOINT="/mnt/sdcard"
CONFIG_SAMV7_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_DDELAY=1000
CONFIG_SAMV7_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_UDELAY=2000
WARNING: SD cards should never be removed without first unmounting
them. This is to avoid data and possible corruption of the file
system. Certainly this is the case if you are writing to the SD card
at the time of the removal. If you use the SD card for read-only access,
however, then I cannot think of any reason why removing the card without
mounting would be harmful.
LEDs and Buttons
================
LEDs
----
A single LED is available driven by PC8.
This LED is 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/sam_autoleds.c. The LED is used to encode
OS-related events as follows:
------------------- ----------------------- ------
SYMBOL Meaning LED
------------------- ----------------------- ------
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started OFF
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled OFF
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created ON
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt N/C
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler N/C
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed N/C
LED_PANIC The system has crashed FLASH
Thus if the LED is statically on, NuttX has successfully booted and is,
apparently, running normally. If the LED is flashing at approximately
2Hz, then a fatal error has been detected and the system has halted.
Buttons
-------
SAM E70 Xplained contains two mechanical buttons. One button is the RESET
button connected to the SAM E70 reset line and the other, PA11, is a generic
user configurable button. When a button is pressed it will drive the I/O
line to GND.
NOTE: There are no pull-up resistors connected to the generic user buttons
so it is necessary to enable the internal pull-up in the SAM E70 to use the
button.
AT24MAC402 Serial EEPROM
========================
Ethernet MAC Address
--------------------
The SAM E70 Xplained features one external AT24MAC402 serial EEPROM with an
EIA-48 MAC address connected to the SAM E70 through I2C. This device
contains a MAC address for use with the Ethernet interface.
Connectivity:
------ -------- --------
SAME70 SAME70 I2C
Pin Function Function
------ -------- --------
PA03 TWID0 SDA
PA04 TWICK0 SCL
------ -------- --------
I2C address:
The 7-bit addresses of the AT24 part are 0b1010AAA for the normal 2Kbit
memory and 0b1011aaa for the "extended memory" where aaa is the state of
the A0, A1, and A3 pins on the part. On the SAME70-XPLD board, these
are all pulled high so the full, 7-bit address is 0x5f.

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.

: Defaults should be okay for other options
Cache-Related Issues
--------------------
I- and D-Caches can be enabled but the D-Cache must be enabled in write-
through mode. This is to work around issues with the RX and TX descriptors
with are 8-bytes in size. But the D-Cache cache line size is 32-bytes.
That means that you cannot reload, clean or invalidate a descriptor without
also effecting three neighboring descriptors. Setting write through mode
eliminates the need for cleaning the D-Cache. If only reloading and
invalidating are done, then there is no problem.
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 SAME70-XPLD 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 SAME70-XPLD:
$ 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.

Builtin Apps:
nsh>
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. 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 networking initialization feature by itself 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.
- Furthermore, there is no support for detecting loss of the network
connection and recovery of networking when the connection is restored.
Both of these shortcomings can be eliminated by enabling the network
monitor:
Network Monitor
---------------
By default the network initialization thread will bring-up the network
then exit, freeing all of the resources that it required. This is a
good behavior for systems with limited memory.
If the CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_MONITOR option is selected, however, then the
network initialization thread will persist forever; it will monitor the
network status. In the event that the network goes down (for example, if
a cable is removed), then the thread will monitor the link status and
attempt to bring the network back up. In this case the resources
required for network initialization are never released.
Pre-requisites:
- CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_THREAD as described above.
- CONFIG_NETDEV_PHY_IOCTL. Enable PHY IOCTL commands in the Ethernet
device driver. Special IOCTL commands must be provided by the Ethernet
driver to support certain PHY operations that will be needed for link
management. There operations are not complex and are implemented for
the Atmel SAMV7 family.
- CONFIG_ARCH_PHY_INTERRUPT. This is not a user selectable option.
Rather, it is set when you select a board that supports PHY interrupts.
In most architectures, the PHY interrupt is not associated with the
Ethernet driver at all. Rather, the PHY interrupt is provided via some
board-specific GPIO and the board-specific logic must provide support
for that GPIO interrupt. To do this, the board logic must do two things:
(1) It must provide the function arch_phy_irq() as described and
prototyped in the nuttx/include/nuttx/arch.h, and (2) it must select
CONFIG_ARCH_PHY_INTERRUPT in the board configuration file to advertise
that it supports arch_phy_irq(). This logic can be found at
nuttx/boards/arm/samv7/same70-xplained/src/sam_ethernet.c.

As discussed in the SAMV71-XULT README, this driver will not work correctly
if the write back data cache is enabled. You must have:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_DCACHE_WRITETHROUGH=y
In order to be usable, you must all enabled some class driver(s) for the
USBHS device controller. Here, for example, is how to configure the CDC/ACM
serial device class:

If you include this CDC/ACM application, then you can connect the CDC/ACM
serial device to the host by entering the command 'sercon' and you detach
the serial device with the command 'serdis'. If you do no use this
application, they you will have to write logic in your board initialization
code to initialize and attach the USB device.

SPI Slave
=========
An interrupt driven SPI slave driver as added on 2015-08-09 but has not
been verified as of this writing. See discussion in include/nuttx/spi/slave.h
and below.
I do not yet have a design that supports SPI slave DMA. And, under
certain, very limited conditions, I think it can be done. Those
certain conditions are:
a) The master does not tie the chip select to ground. The master must
raise chip select at the end of the transfer. Then I do not need to
know the length of the transfer; I can cancel the DMA when the chip
is de-selected.
b) The protocol includes a dummy read after sending the command. This
is very common in SPI device and should not be an issue if it is
specified. This dummy read time provides time to set up the DMA.
So the protocol would be:
i) Master drops the chip select.
ii) Master sends the command which will indicate whether the master
is reading, writing, or exchanging data. The master discards
the garbage return value.
iii) Slave is interrupted when the command word is received. The
SPI device then decodes the command word and setups up the
subsequent DMA.
iv) Master sends a dummy word and discards the return value.
During the bit times to shift the dummy word, the slave has time
to set up the DMA.
v) Master then reads or writes (or exchanges) the data If the DMA
is in place, the transfer should continue normally.
vi) At the end of the data transfer the master raises the chip
select.
c) There are limitations in the word time, i.e., the time between the
interrupt for each word shifted in from the master.
The controller driver will get events after the receipt of each word in
ii), iv), and v). The time between each word will be:
word-time = nbits * bit time + inter-word-gap
So for an 8 bit interface at 20MHz, the words will be received from the
master a 8 * 50nsec = 400 nsec + inter-word-gap. That is the time
during which the dummy word would be shifted and during which we
receive the interrupt for the command word, interpret the command word,
and to set up the DMA for the remaining word transfer. I don't think
that is possible, at least not at 20 MHz.
That is far too fast even for the interrupt driven solution that I have
in place now. It could not work at 20MHz. If we suppose that interrupt
processing is around 1 usec, then an 8 bit interface could not have bit
times more than 125 nsec or 8 KHz. Interrupt handling should be faster
than 1 usec, but not a lot faster. I have not benchmarked it. NuttX
also supports special, zero latency interrupts that could bring the
interrupt time down even more.
Note that we would also have a little more processing time if you used
16-bit SPI word size.
Note also that the interrupt driven approach would have this same basic
performance limitation with the additional disadvantage that:
a) The driver will receive two interrupts per word exchanged:
i) One interrupt will be received when the word is shifted in from
the master (at the end of 8-bit times). This is a data received
interrupt.
ii) And another interrupt when the next words moved to the shift-out
register, freeing up the transmit holding register. This is the
data sent interrupt.
The ii) event should be very soon after the i) event.
Without DMA, the only way to reduce the interrupt rate would be to add
interrupt-level polling to detect the when transmit holding register
is available. That is not really a good idea.
b) It will hog all of the CPU for the duration of the transfer).

NOTE: The click shield fits close to the Arduino connect and cannot be
installed directly because it hits the RJ45 connector. You have to get
some extra Arduino connectors to raise the Click shield so that it clears
the RJ45.
This may be a problem only for me because the Arduino connectors that I
soldered onto the SAME70-Xplained are short (around 10mm clearance from
the board). Taller headers might clear the RJ45 connector (around 15mm).
2017-08-21 23:23:17 +02:00
NOTE: Mikroelektronika provides two different click shields: A UNO style
shield with two click mikroBUSes and a larger Mega shield with three
2017-08-21 23:23:17 +02:00
click mikroBUSes. The above discusses on the UNO shield. I know that the
serial ports, at least, differ on the two shields.
UPDATE: And it appears that the Mega shield is *not* compatible with the
SAME70-Xplained. I am told that the SPI in mikroBUS slots does not connect
to pins on the SAME70-Xplained that can support the SPI communications.
Avoid this triple mikroBUS shield!

Tickless OS
===========
Background
----------
By default, a NuttX configuration uses a periodic timer interrupt that
drives all system timing. The timer is provided by architecture-specific
code that calls into NuttX at a rate controlled by CONFIG_USEC_PER_TICK.
The default value of CONFIG_USEC_PER_TICK is 10000 microseconds which
corresponds to a timer interrupt rate of 100 Hz.
An option is to configure NuttX to operation in a "tickless" mode. Some
limitations of default system timer are, in increasing order of
importance:
- Overhead: Although the CPU usage of the system timer interrupt at 100Hz
is really very low, it is still mostly wasted processing time. One most
timer interrupts, there is really nothing that needs be done other than
incrementing the counter.
- Resolution: Resolution of all system timing is also determined by
CONFIG_USEC_PER_TICK. So nothing that be time with resolution finer than
10 milliseconds be default. To increase this resolution,
CONFIG_USEC_PER_TICK an be reduced. However, then the system timer
interrupts use more of the CPU bandwidth processing useless interrupts.
- Power Usage: But the biggest issue is power usage. When the system is
IDLE, it enters a light, low-power mode (for ARMs, this mode is entered
with the wfi or wfe instructions for example). But each interrupt
awakens the system from this low power mode. Therefore, higher rates
of interrupts cause greater power consumption.
The so-called Tickless OS provides one solution to issue. The basic
concept here is that the periodic, timer interrupt is eliminated and
replaced with a one-shot, interval timer. It becomes event driven
instead of polled: The default system timer is a polled design. On
each interrupt, the NuttX logic checks if it needs to do anything
and, if so, it does it.
Using an interval timer, one can anticipate when the next interesting
OS event will occur, program the interval time and wait for it to fire.
When the interval time fires, then the scheduled activity is performed.
Configuration
-------------
The following configuration options will enable support for the Tickless
OS for the SAMV7 platforms using TC0 channels 0-3 (other timers or
timer channels could be used making the obvious substitutions):
RTOS Features -> Clocks and Timers
CONFIG_SCHED_TICKLESS=y : Configures the RTOS in tickless mode
CONFIG_SCHED_TICKLESS_ALARM=n : (option not implemented)
2015-12-02 16:22:26 +01:00
CONFIG_SCHED_TICKLESS_LIMIT_MAX_SLEEP=y
2015-12-02 15:37:42 +01:00
System Type -> SAMV7 Peripheral Support
CONFIG_SAMV7_TC0=y : Enable TC0 (TC channels 0-3
System Type -> Timer/counter Configuration
CONFIG_SAMV7_ONESHOT=y : Enables one-shot timer wrapper
CONFIG_SAMV7_FREERUN=y : Enabled free-running timer wrapper
CONFIG_SAMV7_TICKLESS_ONESHOT=0 : Selects TC0 channel 0 for the one-shot
CONFIG_SAMV7_TICKLESS_FREERUN=1 : Selects TC0 channel 1 for the free-
: running timer
2015-12-03 01:54:17 +01:00
The resolution of the clock is provided by the CONFIG_USEC_PER_TICK
setting in the configuration file.
2015-12-02 22:54:20 +01:00
NOTE: In most cases, the slow clock will be used as the timer/counter
input. The SAME70-Xplained board has pads for a 32.768KHz crystal,
however, the boad ships with that position unpopulated. So, be default
this will probably end up using the slow RC oscillator which will give
you very bad timing.
If you add a crystal to your board, you can select to use it with the
definition BOARD_HAVE_SLOWXTAL in the boards/arm/samv7/same70-xplained/board.h
2015-12-02 22:54:20 +01:00
file.
2015-12-03 16:52:50 +01:00
The slow clock has a resolution of about 30.518 microseconds. Ideally,
the value of CONFIG_USEC_PER_TICK should be the exact clock resolution.
Otherwise there will be cumulative timing inaccuracies. But a choice
2015-12-03 01:54:17 +01:00
choice of:
2015-12-03 16:52:50 +01:00
CONFIG_USEC_PER_TICK=31
2015-12-03 01:54:17 +01:00
2015-12-03 16:52:50 +01:00
will have an error of 0.6% and will have inaccuracies that will
effect the time due to long term error build-up.
2015-12-03 01:54:17 +01:00
Using the slow clock input, the Tickless support is functional,
however, there are inaccuracies in delays. For example,
2015-12-03 16:52:50 +01:00
nsh> sleep 10
results in a delay of maybe 5.4 seconds. But the timing accuracy is
correct if all competing uses of the interval timer are disabled (mostly
from the high priority work queue). Therefore, I conclude that this
inaccuracy is due to the inaccuracies in the representation of the clock
rate. 30.518 usec cannot be represented accurately. Each timing
calculation results in a small error. When the interval timer is very
busy, long delays will be divided into many small pieces and each small
piece has a large error in the calculation. The cumulative error is the
cause of the problem.
Solution: The same70-xplained/src/sam_boot.c file has additional logic
to enable the programmable clock PCK6 as a clock source for the
timer/counters if the Tickless mode is selected. The ideal frequency
would be:
frequency = 1,000,000 / CONFIG_USEC_PER_TICK
The main crystal is selected as the frequency source. The maximum
prescaler value is 256 so the minimum frequency is 46,875 Hz which
corresponds to a period of 21.3 microseconds. A value of
CONFIG_USEC_PER_TICK=20, or 50KHz, would give an exact solution with
a divider of 240.
2015-12-03 01:54:17 +01:00
2015-12-02 15:37:42 +01:00
SAME70 Timer Usage
------------------
This current implementation uses two timers: A one-shot timer to
provide the timed events and a free running timer to provide the current
time. Since timers are a limited resource, that could be an issue on
some systems.
We could do the job with a single timer if we were to keep the single
timer in a free-running at all times. The SAME70 timer/counters have
16-bit counters with the capability to generate a compare interrupt when
the timer matches a compare value but also to continue counting without
stopping (giving another, different interrupt when the timer rolls over
from 0xffff to zero). So we could potentially just set the compare at
the number of ticks you want PLUS the current value of timer. Then you
could have both with a single timer: An interval timer and a free-
running counter with the same timer! In this case, you would want to
to set CONFIG_SCHED_TICKLESS_ALARM in the NuttX configuration.
Patches are welcome!
Debugging
=========
2017-08-22 20:35:58 +02:00
EDBG
----
The on-board EDBG appears to work only with Atmel Studio. You can however,
simply connect a SAM-ICE or J-Link to the JTAG/SWD connector on the board
and that works great. The only tricky thing is getting the correct
orientation of the JTAG connection.
2017-08-22 20:35:58 +02:00
J-Link/JTAG
-----------
I have been using Atmel Studio to write code to flash then I use the Segger
J-Link GDB server to debug. I have been using the 'Device Programming' I
available under the Atmel Studio 'Tool' menu. I have to disconnect the
SAM-ICE while programming with the EDBG. I am sure that you could come up
with a GDB server-only solution if you wanted.
I run GDB like this from the directory containing the NuttX ELF file:
arm-none-eabi-gdb
(gdb) target remote localhost:2331
(gdb) mon reset
(gdb) file nuttx
(gdb) ... start debugging ...
2017-08-22 20:35:58 +02:00
OpenOCD/EDBG
------------
Current OpenOCD also works with SAME70-Xplained via EDBG, but I have not
used OpenOCD with the board.
SAM-BA
------
SAM-BA is another option. With SAM-BA, you can load code into FLASH over
a serial port or USB connection by booting into the ROM bootloader.
CMSIS-DAP Programmer
--------------------
Another useful tool for CMSIS-DAP programmer (formerly Atmel EDBG
programmer) available at:
https://github.com/ataradov/edbg
This is a simple command line utility for programming ARM-based MCUs
(currently only Atmel) though CMSIS-DAP SWD interface. It works on Linux,
macOS and Windows. Very useful to around especially if you have the
2017-08-22 20:35:58 +02:00
following issue:
Booting to FLASH or the ROM Bootloader
--------------------------------------
If you use EDBG or JTAG to load code into FLASH, you may be puzzled why
the code does not run. It may be that you are booting into the ROM
bootloader instead of FLASH. That can be fixed by modifying the SAME70's
GPNVM bits.
If your SAME70 is booting in ROM by default, the GPNVM bits will probably
looking something like:
$ edbg.exe -F r,:, -t atmel_cm7
GPNVM Bits: 0x40
Where bit 1 = 0 boots into the ROM bootloader and bit 1 = 1 boots into
FLASH. You want:
$ edbg.exe -F r,:, -t atmel_cm7
GPNVM Bits: 0x42
If you are trying to use SAM-BA, you might have the opposity problem:
The board might be booting into FLASH when you need it to boot into the
ROM bootloader.
That GPNVM bit can be changed using CMSIS-DAP programmer, Atmel studio, or
2017-08-22 20:35:58 +02:00
using this OpenOCD setup:
atsamv gpnvm [('clr'|'set'|'show') bitnum]
Without arguments, shows all bits in the gpnvm register.
Otherwise, clears, sets, or shows one General Purpose Non-Volatile
Memory (gpnvm) bit.
Perhaps SAM-BA supports a way to do this as well???
Using OpenOCD and GDB to flash via the EDBG chip
================================================
Building OpenOCD under Cygwin:
Refer to boards/olimex-lpc1766stk/README.txt
Installing OpenOCD in Linux (but see note below):
sudo apt-get install openocd
NOTE: At the time of writing installing the above openocd package from
the distribution (Ubuntu 14.04) was not enough to get the latest openocd
version supporting the SAME70 Xplained.
The code was obtained from the OpenOCD git repository, available at
https://github.com/ntfreak/openocd.
git clone https://github.com/ntfreak/openocd.git
Then follow the directions of the "Building OpenOCD" section of their README,
but be sure to configure including the CMSIS-DAP interface:
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-cmsis-dap
make
sudo make install
If your configure step fails, you might be missing some dependencies, i.e.:
sudo apt-get install libhidapi-dev
Helper Scripts.
OpenOCD requires a configuration file. I keep the one I used last here:
boards/arm/samv7/common/tools/atmel_same70_xplained.cfg
However, the "correct" configuration script to use with OpenOCD may
change as the features of OpenOCD evolve. So you should at least
compare that atmel_same70_xplained.cfg file with configuration files in
/usr/share/openocd/scripts. As of this writing, the configuration
files of interest were:
/usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/cmsis-dap.cfg
/usr/share/openocd/scripts/board/atmel_same70_xplained.cfg
/usr/share/openocd/scripts/target/atsamv.cfg
There is also a script on the tools/ directory that I use to start
the OpenOCD daemon on my system called oocd.sh. That script will
probably require some modifications to work in another environment:
- Possibly the value of OPENOCD_PATH, TARGET_PATH and TARGET_BOARD
- It assumes that the correct script to use is the one at
boards/arm/samv7/common/tools/atmel_${TARGET_BOARD}.cfg
Starting OpenOCD
Then you should be able to start the OpenOCD daemon like:
boards/arm/samv7/common/tools/oocd.sh $PWD
Connecting GDB
Once the OpenOCD daemon has been started, you can connect to it via
GDB using the following GDB command:
arm-nuttx-elf-gdb
(gdb) target remote localhost:3333
NOTE: The name of your GDB program may differ. For example, with the
CodeSourcery toolchain, the ARM GDB would be called arm-none-eabi-gdb.
After starting GDB, you can load the NuttX ELF file:
(gdb) symbol-file nuttx
(gdb) monitor reset
(gdb) monitor halt
(gdb) load nuttx
NOTES:
1. Loading the symbol-file is only useful if you have built NuttX to
include debug symbols (by setting CONFIG_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=y in the
.config file).
2. The MCU must be halted prior to loading code using 'mon reset'
as described below.
OpenOCD will support several special 'monitor' commands. These
GDB commands will send comments to the OpenOCD monitor. Here
are a couple that you will need to use:
(gdb) monitor reset
(gdb) monitor halt
NOTES:
1. The MCU must be halted using 'mon halt' prior to loading code.
2. Reset will restart the processor after loading code.
3. The 'monitor' command can be abbreviated as just 'mon'.
Configurations
==============
Information Common to All Configurations
----------------------------------------
Each SAME70-XPLD configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:
tools/configure.sh same70-xplained:<subdir>
Before building, make sure that the PATH environment variable include the
correct path to the directory than holds your toolchain binaries.
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 oldconfig
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.
b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
reconfiguration process.
2. Unless stated otherwise, all configurations generate console
output on USART1 (the EDBG VCOM)
NOTE: When USART1 is used, the pin PB4 is reconfigured. Normally, PB4
is TDI. When it is reconfigured for use with USART1, the capability to
debug is lost! If you plan to debug you should most certainly not use
USART1. UART3 might be a good option (the Arduino RXD/TXD):
-CONFIG_SAMV7_USART1=y
2016-05-25 19:21:48 +02:00
-CONFIG_USART1_SERIALDRIVER=y
-CONFIG_USART1_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
-CONFIG_USART1_RXBUFSIZE=256
-CONFIG_USART1_TXBUFSIZE=256
-CONFIG_USART1_BAUD=115200
-CONFIG_USART1_BITS=8
-CONFIG_USART1_PARITY=0
-CONFIG_USART1_2STOP=0
+CONFIG_SAMV7_UART3=y
+CONFIG_UART3_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
+CONFIG_UART3_RXBUFSIZE=256
+CONFIG_UART3_TXBUFSIZE=256
+CONFIG_UART3_BAUD=115200
+CONFIG_UART3_BITS=8
+CONFIG_UART3_PARITY=0
+CONFIG_UART3_2STOP=0
UART3 is not the default because (1) the placement of the RJ-45 connector
makes it difficult to install Arduino shield cards and (2) the Arduino
connectors are not populated on the board as it comes from the factory.
3. All of these configurations are set up to build under Windows using the
"GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors" that is maintained by ARM
(unless stated otherwise in the description of the configuration).
https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm
That toolchain selection can easily be reconfigured using
'make menuconfig'. Here are the relevant current settings:
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Window environment
CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : Cywin under Windows
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABI=y : GNU ARM EABI toolchain
NOTE: As of this writing, there are issues with using this tool at
the -Os level of optimization. This has not been proven to be a
compiler issue (as least not one that might not be fixed with a
well placed volatile qualifier). However, in any event, it is
recommend that you use not more that -O2 optimization.
Configuration sub-directories
-----------------------------
adc
This is a basic nsh configuration (se below) with added example for
ADC (AFEC) driver. Data can be read through channel AFE0_AD0 by
running application "adc" in NuttShell.
The ADC is triggered by Timer/counter at 1 kHz frequency and uses
2022-07-07 18:01:22 +02:00
DMA to transfer samples. Number of transferred samples can be set
by configuring CONFIG_SAMV7_AFEC_DMASAMPLES.
can
An nsh configuration (see below) with added support fo MCAN driver.
The purpose of the configuration is mainly to track whether changes
to SAMv7 MCAN driver do not cause build errors and warnings.
mrf24j40-starhub
This configuration implements a hub node in a 6LoWPAN start network.
It is intended for the us the mrf24j40-starpoint configuration with
the clicker2-stm32 configurations. Essentially, the SAME70 Xplained
plays the roll of the hub in the configuration and the clicker2-stm32
boards are the endpoints in the start.
NOTES:
1. The serial console is configured by default for use with and Arduino
serial shield (UART3). You will need to reconfigure if you will
to use a different U[S]ART.
2. This configuration derives from the netnsh configuration, but adds
support for IPv6, 6LoWPAN, and the MRF24J40 IEEE 802.15.4 radio.
3. This configuration uses the Mikroe BEE MRF24j40 click boards and
connects to the SAMV71-XULT using a click shield as described above.
4. You must must have also have at least two clicker2-stm32 boards each
with an MRF24J40 BEE click board in order to run these tests.
5. The network initialization thread is NOT enabled. As a result, the
startup will hang if the Ethernet cable is not plugged in. For more
information, see the paragraphs above entitled "Network Initialization
Thread" and "Network Monitor".
6. Telnet: The clicker2-stm32 star point configuration supports the
Telnet daemon, but not the Telnet client; the star hub configuration
supports both the Telnet client and the Telnet daemon. Therefore,
the star hub can Telnet to any point in the star, but the star
endpoints cannot initiate telnet sessions. Any host connected via
Ethernet can Telnet to the SAME70 Xplained hub or to any Clicker2
point in the star.
7. TCP and UDP Tests: The same TCP and UDP tests as described for
the clicker2-stm32 mrf24j40-starpoint configuration are supported on
the star endpoints, but NOT on the star hub. Therefore, all network
testing is between endpoints with the hub acting, well, only like a
hub.
The nsh> dmesg command can be use at any time on any endpoint node
to see any debug output that you have selected. Debug output on the
hub will be presented on stdout.
Telenet sessions may be initiated only from the hub to a star
endpoint:
C: nsh> telnet <server-ip> <-- Runs the Telnet client
Where <server-ip> is the IP address of either the E1 or I2 endpoints.
STATUS:
2017-08-16: Configurations added. Initially, I saw hangs i
mrf24j40_reset() before the NSH appears on the serial console.
Unlike the SAMV71-XULT, the SPI looks clean, but was hanging
nevertheless.
Then, on subsequent testing, it "magically" started behaving
properaly and seems quite stable now.. although I did nothing to
solve the problem. Perhaps the radio was in a bad state for awhile;
perhaps something I did masked the problem. However, all is well
for the time being.
No significant functional testing has yet been performed.
2017-08-26: There was only a single buffer for reassemblying larger
packets. This could be a problem issue for the hub configuration
which really needs the capability concurrently reassemble multiple
incoming streams. The design was extended to support multiple
reassembly buffers but have not yet been verified on this platform.
netnsh:
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh. There are two
very similar NSH configurations:
- nsh. This configuration is focused on low level, command-line
driver testing. It has no network.
- netnsh. This configuration is focused on network testing and
has only limited command support.
NOTES:
1. The serial console is configured by default for use with the EDBG VCOM
(USART1). You will need to reconfigure if you will to use a different
U[S]ART. See "Information Common to All Configurations" above.
2. Default stack sizes are large and should really be tuned to reduce
the RAM footprint:
CONFIG_SCHED_HPWORKSTACKSIZE=2048
CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE=1024
CONFIG_INIT_STACKSIZE=2048
CONFIG_PTHREAD_STACK_MIN=256
CONFIG_PTHREAD_STACK_DEFAULT=2048
CONFIG_POSIX_SPAWN_DEFAULT_STACKSIZE=2048
CONFIG_SYSTEM_TELNETD_STACKSIZE=2048
CONFIG_SYSTEM_TELNETD_SESSION_STACKSIZE=2048
3. NSH built-in applications are supported. There are, however, no
enabled built-in applications.
Binary Formats:
CONFIG_BUILTIN=y : Enable support for built-in programs
Application Configuration:
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y : Enable starting apps from NSH command line
4. The network initialization thread and the NSH network montior are
enabled in this configuration. As a result, networking initialization
is performed asynchronously with NSH bring-up. For more information,
see the paragraphs above entitled "Network Initialization Thread" and
"Network Monitor".
5. SDRAM is NOT enabled in this configuration.
6. TWI/I2C
TWIHS0 is enabled in this configuration. The SAM E70 Xplained
supports one devices on the one on-board I2C device on the TWIHS0 bus:
The AT24MAC402 serial EEPROM described above.
Relevant configuration settings:
CONFIG_SAMV7_TWIHS0=y
CONFIG_SAMV7_TWIHS0_FREQUENCY=100000
CONFIG_I2C=y
7. TWIHS0 is used to support 256 byte non-volatile storage. This EEPROM
holds the assigned MAC address which is necessary for networking. The
EEPROM is also available for storage of configuration data using the
MTD configuration as described above under the heading, "MTD
Configuration Data".
8. Support for HSMCI is built-in by default. The SAME70-XPLD provides
one full-size SD memory card slot. Refer to the section entitled
"SD card" for configuration-related information.
See "Open Issues" above for issues related to HSMCI.
The auto-mounter is not enabled. See the section above entitled
"Auto-Mounter".
9. Performance-related Configuration settings:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_ICACHE=y : Instruction cache is enabled
CONFIG_ARMV7M_DCACHE=y : Data cache is enabled
CONFIG_ARMV7M_DCACHE_WRITETHROUGH=y : Write through mode
CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y : H/W floating point support is enabled
CONFIG_ARCH_DPFPU=y : 64-bit H/W floating point support is enabled
# CONFIG_ARMV7M_ITCM is not set : Support not yet in place
# CONFIG_ARMV7M_DTCM is not set : Support not yet in place
I- and D-Caches are enabled but the D-Cache must be enabled in write-
through mode. This is to work around issues with the RX and TX
descriptors with are 8-bytes in size. But the D-Cache cache line
size is 32-bytes. That means that you cannot reload, clean or
invalidate a descriptor without also effecting three neighboring
descriptors. Setting write through mode eliminates the need for
cleaning the D-Cache. If only reloading and invalidating are done,
then there is no problem.
Stack sizes are also large to simplify the bring-up and should be
tuned for better memory usages.
STATUS:
2015-03-29: I- and D-caches are currently enabled, but as noted
above, the D-Cache must be enabled in write-through mode. Also -Os
optimization is not being used (-O2). If the cache is enabled in
Write-Back mode or if higher levels of optimization are enabled, then
there are failures when trying to ping the target from a host.
nsh:
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh. There are two
very similar NSH configurations:
- nsh. This configuration is focused on low level, command-line
driver testing. It has no network.
- netnsh. This configuration is focused on network testing and
has only limited command support.
NOTES:
2015-11-19 17:25:08 +01:00
1. The serial console is configured by default for use with the EDBG VCOM
(USART1). You will need to reconfigure if you will to use a different
U[S]ART. See "Information Common to All Configurations" above.
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.
Binary Formats:
CONFIG_BUILTIN=y : Enable support for built-in programs
Application Configuration:
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y : Enable starting apps from NSH command line
4. SDRAM is enabled in this configuration. Here are the relevant
configuration settings:
System Type
CONFIG_SAMV7_SDRAMC=y
CONFIG_SAMV7_SDRAMSIZE=2097152
SDRAM is not added to the heap in this configuration. To do that
you would need to set CONFIG_SAMV7_SDRAMHEAP=y and CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=2.
Instead, the SDRAM is set up so that is can be used with a destructive
RAM test enabled with this option:
Application Configuration:
CONFIG_TESTING_RAMTEST=y
The RAM test can be executed as follows:
nsh> ramtest -w 70000000 2097152
NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-7.8
nsh> ramtest -w 70000000 2097152
RAMTest: Marching ones: 70000000 2097152
RAMTest: Marching zeroes: 70000000 2097152
RAMTest: Pattern test: 70000000 2097152 55555555 aaaaaaaa
RAMTest: Pattern test: 70000000 2097152 66666666 99999999
RAMTest: Pattern test: 70000000 2097152 33333333 cccccccc
RAMTest: Address-in-address test: 70000000 2097152

5. TWI/I2C
TWIHS0 is enabled in this configuration. The SAM E70 Xplained
supports one device on the one on-board I2C device on the TWIHS0 bus:
The AT24MAC402 serial EEPROM described above.
In this configuration, the I2C tool at apps/system/i2ctool is
enabled. This tools supports interactive access to I2C devices on
the enabled TWIHS bus. Relevant configuration settings:
CONFIG_SAMV7_TWIHS0=y
CONFIG_SAMV7_TWIHS0_FREQUENCY=100000
CONFIG_I2C=y
CONFIG_SYSTEM_I2CTOOL=y
CONFIG_I2CTOOL_MINBUS=0

# CONFIG_ARMV7M_ITCM is not set : Support not yet in place
# CONFIG_ARMV7M_DTCM is not set : Support not yet in place
Stack sizes are also large to simplify the bring-up and should be
tuned for better memory usages.
STATUS:
2015-03-28: HSMCI TX DMA is disabled. There are some issues with the TX
DMA that need to be corrected.
twm4nx:
This configuration exercises the port of TWM to NuttX. A description of
that port is available at apps/graphics/twm4nx/README.txt. This
configuration uses the NuttX VNC server to provide a remote desktop for
use with VNC client on a PC. No display, mouse, or keyboard devices are
needed.
NOTES:
1. Network configuration: IP address 10.0.0.2. The is easily changed
via 'make menuconfig'. The VNC server address is 10.0.0.2:5900.
2. The default (local) framebuffer configuration is 800x600 with 16-bit
RGB color.
3. There are complicated interactions between VNC and the network
configuration. The CONFIG_VNCSERVER_UPDATE_BUFSIZE determines the
size of update messages. That is 1024 bytes in that configuration
(the full message with the header will be a little larger). The
CONFIG_NET_ETH_PKTSIZE is set to 590 so that a full update will
require several packets.
Write buffering also effects network performance. This will break
up the large updates into small (196 byte) groups. When we run out
of read-ahead buffers, then partial updates may be sent causing a
loss of synchronization.
STATUS:
2019-04-28: Configuration created. Not verified.
2019-05-04: Only partially functional. VNC is a difficult way to
debug Twm4Nx because it has its own level of complexities due to
networking, mysterious VNC client behavior, and fragile VNC
configurations. I am setting this on the shelf for the time
being. I will stabilize Twm4Nx on another platform first. Just
too many degrees of freedom.
2019-05-04: Testing on hardware reveals that VNC is the source of
most of the issues. Things look good on real, local hardware
(see boards/lpcxpresso-lpc54628/twm4nx). VNC is just not mature
enough for this kind of usage at this time.
mcuboot-loader:
This configuration exercises the port of MCUboot loader to NuttX.
In this configuration both primary, secondary and scratch partitions are
mapped into the internal flash.
Relevant configuration settings:
CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INITIALIZE=y
