README ====== This README discusses issues unique to NuttX configurations for the MikroElektronika Mikromedia for STM32F4 development board. This is another board support by NuttX that uses the same STM32F407VGT6 MCU as does the STM32F4-Discovery board. This board, however, has very different on-board peripherals than does the STM32F4-Discovery: - TFT display with touch panel, - VS1053 stereo audio codec with headphone jack, - SD card slot, - Serial FLASH memory, - USB OTG FS with micro-AB connector, and - Battery connect and batter charger circuit. See the http://www.mikroe.com/mikromedia/stm32-m4/ for more information about this board.

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 Linux. 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. 3. Dependencies are not made when using Windows versions of the GCC. This is because the dependencies are generated using Windows pathes which do not work with the Cygwin make. MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mknulldeps.sh 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 SourceForge download site (https://sourceforge.net/projects/nuttx/files/buildroot/). This GNU toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin environment. 1. You must have already configured Nuttx in /nuttx. cd tools ./configure.sh mikroe-stm32f4/ 2. Download the latest buildroot package into 3. unpack the buildroot tarball. The resulting directory may have versioning information on it like buildroot-x.y.z. If so, rename /buildroot-x.y.z to /buildroot. 4. cd /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 toochain; 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 SourceForge download site (https://sourceforge.net/projects/nuttx/files/). This GNU toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin environment. 1. You must have already configured Nuttx in /nuttx. cd tools ./configure.sh mikroe-stm32f4/ 2. Download the latest buildroot package into 3. unpack the buildroot tarball. The resulting directory may have versioning information on it like buildroot-x.y.z. If so, rename /buildroot-x.y.z to /buildroot. 4. cd /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 Mikroe-STM32F4 board has no user accessible LEDs onboard, only a power and "charging" LED. All visual user output must be performed through the TFT display. External LEDs could be added via the expansion headers on the side of the board, but as this would be a custom configuration, LEDs are not supported in this port. PWM === The Mikroe-STM32F4 has no real on-board PWM devices, but it does have PWM pins routed to the expansion I/O headers on the side of the board. UARTs ===== The Mikroe-STM32F4 board has no onboard RS-232 line driver, however the expansion I/O header provides access to USART2 on pins PD5/PD6. The port includes support for USART2 configured as /dev/ttyS0. UART/USART PINS --------------- USART2 RX PD6 TX PD5 Default USART/UART Configuration -------------------------------- USART2 is enabled in all configurations (see */defconfig). RX and TX are configured on pins PD6 and PD5, respectively (see include/board.h). Timer Inputs/Outputs ==================== TIM1 CH1 PA8, PE9 CH2 PA9*, PE11 CH3 PA10*, PE13 CH4 PA11*, PE14 TIM2 CH1 PA0*, PA15, PA5* CH2 PA1, PB3* CH3 PA2, PB10* CH4 PA3, PB11 TIM3 CH1 PA6*, PB4, PC6 CH2 PA7*, PB5, PC7* CH3 PB0, PC8 CH4 PB1, PC9 TIM4 CH1 PB6*, PD12* CH2 PB7, PD13* CH3 PB8, PD14* CH4 PB9*, PD15* TIM5 CH1 PA0*, PH10** CH2 PA1, PH11** CH3 PA2, PH12** CH4 PA3, PI0 TIM8 CH1 PC6, PI5 CH2 PC7*, PI6 CH3 PC8, PI7 CH4 PC9, PI2 TIM9 CH1 PA2, PE5 CH2 PA3, PE6 TIM10 CH1 PB8, PF6 TIM11 CH1 PB9*, PF7 TIM12 CH1 PH6**, PB14 CH2 PC15, PH9** TIM13 CH1 PA6*, PF8 TIM14 CH1 PA7*, PF9 * Indicates pins that have other on-board functions and should be used only with care (See table 5 in the Mikroe-STM32F4 User Guide). The rest are free I/O pins. ** Port H pins are not supported by the MCU 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 */ MIO283QT-2/MIO283QT-9A ====================== The original Mikroe-SMT32F4 board as an on-board MIO283QT-2 TFT LCD that can be configured and used. This is a 320x240 resolution display with color capability to 262K colors, though the mio283qt-2 driver in NuttX only supports 16-bit color depth, or 65K colors. Changes to both the mio283qt-2 driver and the driver interface layer would need to be made to support 24 BPP mode. UPDATE: New boards now support a MIO283QT-9A TFT LCD that is not compatible with the MIO283QT-2. It uses a different LCD controller. The default in all of these configurations is the MIO283QT-2. But MIO283QT-9A is also supported and you can switch from the MIO283QT-2 to the MIO283QT-9A by simply modifying the NuttX configuration 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. Mikroe-STM32F4-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=Mikroe-STM32F4 (for the Mikroe-STM32F4 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_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 Mikroe-STM32F4 supports a floating point unit (FPU) CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y 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 calibratre 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: AHB1 ---- CONFIG_STM32_CRC CONFIG_STM32_BKPSRAM CONFIG_STM32_CCMDATARAM CONFIG_STM32_DMA1 CONFIG_STM32_DMA2 CONFIG_STM32_ETHMAC CONFIG_STM32_OTGHS AHB2 ---- CONFIG_STM32_DCMI CONFIG_STM32_CRYP CONFIG_STM32_HASH CONFIG_STM32_RNG CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS AHB3 ---- CONFIG_STM32_FSMC APB1 ---- CONFIG_STM32_TIM2 CONFIG_STM32_TIM3 CONFIG_STM32_TIM4 CONFIG_STM32_TIM5 CONFIG_STM32_TIM6 CONFIG_STM32_TIM7 CONFIG_STM32_TIM12 CONFIG_STM32_TIM13 CONFIG_STM32_TIM14 CONFIG_STM32_WWDG CONFIG_STM32_IWDG CONFIG_STM32_SPI2 CONFIG_STM32_SPI3 CONFIG_STM32_USART2 CONFIG_STM32_USART3 CONFIG_STM32_UART4 CONFIG_STM32_UART5 CONFIG_STM32_I2C1 CONFIG_STM32_I2C2 CONFIG_STM32_I2C3 CONFIG_STM32_CAN1 CONFIG_STM32_CAN2 CONFIG_STM32_DAC1 CONFIG_STM32_DAC2 CONFIG_STM32_PWR -- Required for RTC APB2 ---- CONFIG_STM32_TIM1 CONFIG_STM32_TIM8 CONFIG_STM32_USART1 CONFIG_STM32_USART6 CONFIG_STM32_ADC1 CONFIG_STM32_ADC2 CONFIG_STM32_ADC3 CONFIG_STM32_SDIO CONFIG_STM32_SPI1 CONFIG_STM32_SYSCFG CONFIG_STM32_TIM9 CONFIG_STM32_TIM10 CONFIG_STM32_TIM11 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 Mikroe-STM32F4 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_PARTIY - 0=no parity, 1=odd parity, 2=even parity CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_2STOP - Two stop bits Mikroe-STM32F4 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. CONFIG_CAN_TSEG1 - The number of CAN time quanta in segment 1. Default: 6 CONFIG_CAN_TSEG2 - the number of CAN time quanta in segment 2. Default: 7 CONFIG_CAN_REGDEBUG - If CONFIG_DEBUG is set, this will generate an dump of all CAN registers. Mikroe-STM32F4 SPI Configuration CONFIG_STM32_SPI_INTERRUPTS - Select to enable interrupt driven SPI 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. Mikroe-STM32F4 DMA Configuration CONFIG_SDIO_DMA - Support DMA data transfers. Requires CONFIG_STM32_SDIO and CONFIG_STM32_DMA2. CONFIG_SDIO_PRI - Select SDIO interrupt prority. Default: 128 CONFIG_SDIO_DMAPRIO - Select SDIO DMA interrupt priority. Default: Medium CONFIG_SDIO_WIDTH_D1_ONLY - Select 1-bit transfer mode. Default: 4-bit transfer mode. STM32 USB OTG FS Host Driver Support Pre-requisites CONFIG_USBDEV - Enable USB device support CONFIG_USBHOST - Enable USB host support CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS - Enable the STM32 USB OTG FS block CONFIG_STM32_SYSCFG - Needed CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE - Worker thread support is required Options: CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS_RXFIFO_SIZE - Size of the RX FIFO in 32-bit words.

Depends on CONFIG_DEBUG. CONFIG_STM32_USBHOST_PKTDUMP - Dump all incoming and outgoing USB packets. Depends on CONFIG_DEBUG. Configurations ============== Each Mikroe-STM32F4 configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and can be selected as follow: cd tools ./configure.sh mikroe-stm32f4/ cd - . ./setenv.sh If this is a Windows native build, then configure.bat should be used instead of configure.sh: configure.bat Mikroe-STM32F4\ Where is one of the following: fulldemo -------- This is an example that includes an NSH shell over USB that also enables all features of the Mikroe-STM32F4 board including the LCD, on-board 1M Flash with SMART filesystem, Aux RS-232 serial port on the expansion header, etc. A couple of the NX graphics commands are made available via the NSH prompt for performing LCD demonstrations, and the nximage example is used as a splash-screen at startup. kostest: ------- NOTE: This configuration compiles, but has not been fully tested on the hardware yet. This configuration directory, performs a simple OS test using apps/examples/ostest with NuttX build as a kernel-mode monolithic module and the user applications are built separately. Is is recommened 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 and misc/tools/ 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. nsh --- This is an NSH example that uses USART2 as the console. Note that the Mikroe-STM32F4 board doesn't actually have onboard line drivers or a connector for USART2, but it does route the USART2 signals to the expansion header. To use this demo, you would need to connect an external 3.3V RS-232 line driver to the USART's I/O lines on the expansion header. NOTE: This demo doesn't quite work yet. I can get output to the USART, but so far, I have not gotten nsh to actually come up. nx -- An example using the NuttX graphics system (NX). This example focuses on general window controls, movement, mouse and keyboard input. CONFIG_LCD_LANDSCAPE=y : 320x240 landscape orientation CONFIG_LCD_MIO283QT2=y : MIO283QT-2 is the default You can the newer MIO283QT-9A by enabling it in the configuration. CONFIG_LCD_MIO283QT2=n : Disable the MIO283QT-2 CONFIG_LCD_MIO283QT9A=y : Enable the MIO283QT-9A nxlines: ------ An example using the NuttX graphics system (NX). This example focuses on placing lines on the background in various orientations using the on-board TFT LCD. CONFIG_LCD_LANDSCAPE=y : 320x240 landscape orientation CONFIG_LCD_MIO283QT2=y : MIO283QT-2 is the default You can the newer MIO283QT-9A by enabling it in the configuration. CONFIG_LCD_MIO283QT2=n : Disable the MIO283QT-2 CONFIG_LCD_MIO283QT9A=y : Enable the MIO283QT-9A nxtext: ------ Another example using the NuttX graphics system (NX). This example focuses on placing text on the background while pop-up windows occur. Text should continue to update normally with or without the popup windows present. 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 and misc/tools/ 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=y : Enable output to syslog, not console 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. 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 loggin device (UART2 in this configuraion): 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_SYSTEM_USBMONITOR=y : Enable the USB monitor daemon CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMONITOR_STACKSIZE=2048 : USB monitor daemon stack size CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMONITOR_PRIORITY=50 : USB monitor daemon priority CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMONITOR_INTERVAL=2 : Dump trace data every 2 seconds CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMONITOR_TRACEINIT=y : Enable TRACE output CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMONITOR_TRACECLASS=y CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMONITOR_TRACETRANSFERS=y CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMONITOR_TRACECONTROLLER=y CONFIG_SYSTEM_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=y : Disable the CDC/ACM serial device class CONFIG_CDCACM_CONSOLE=y : 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
