README
======

This README discusses issues unique to NuttX configurations for STM32L476ME
part in the Motorola MDK.  This is referred to as the MuC in Motorola
technical documentation.

STM32L476ME:

  Microprocessor: 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 at 80MHz STM32L476ME
  Memory:         1024 KB Flash and 96+32 KB SRAM
  ADC:            3x12-bit, 2.4 MSPS A/D converter: up to 24 channels
  DMA:            16-stream DMA controllers with FIFOs and burst support
  Timers:         Up to 11 timers: up to eight 16-bit, two 32-bit timers, two
                  watchdog timers, and a SysTick timer
  GPIO:           Up to 51 I/O ports with interrupt capability
  I2C:            Up to 3 x I2C interfaces
  USARTs:         Up to 3 USARTs, 2 UARTs, 1 LPUART
  SPIs:           Up to 3 SPIs
  SAIs:           Up to 2 dual-channel audio interfaces
  CAN interface
  SDIO interface (not connected)
  QSPI interface (not connected)
  USB:            USB 2.0 full-speed device/host/OTG controller with on-chip PHY
  CRC calculation unit
  RTC

Flashing
========

The MDK has a builtin FTDI to support flashing from openocd.  There are a
few extensions to openocd that haven't been integrated upstream yet.  To
flash (or debug) the MDK, you will need the code from:

  $ git clone https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/openocd

Refer to detailed OpenOCD build instructions at developer.motorola.com

After building, you can flash the STM32L476 (MuC) with the following
command:

  $ openocd -f board/moto_mdk_muc.cfg -c "program nuttx.bin 0x08000000 reset exit"

You may need to be super-user in order access the USB device.

NOTE:  In order for the debug Type C connector to power the phone the DIP
Switch B4 must be in the on position. See the MDK User Guide at
developer.motorola.com for more information on the hardware including the DIP
switches.

Or you can use the GDB server.  To start the GDB server:

  $ openocd -f board/moto_mdk_mu_reset.cfg &

Then start GDB:

  $ arm-non-linux-gdb
  (gdb) target extended-remote localhost:3333
  (gdb) set can-use-hw-watchpoints 1

You can load code into FLASH like:
  (gdb) mon halt
  (gdb) load nuttx
  (gdb) file nuttx
  (gdb) mon reset

Serial Console
==============

The serial console is configured on USART3 using MUC_UART3_TX (PC10) and
MUC_UART_RX (PC11).  This connects to the FT4232 part which supports 4
CDC/ACM serial ports.  The MuC console is on port C which will probably be
/dev/ttyUSB2 on your Linux host.  Port A (ttyUSB0) is the MuC SWD debug
interface.  Ports B and D are the MHB* debug and console ports, respectively.

You may need to be super-user in order access the /dev/ttyUSB2 device.

*Then MHB is the acronym given to Toshiba Interface Bridged, part number
T6WV7XBG.  See https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/us/product/assp/interface-bridge.html
