README ====== The NuttX configuration for the Olimex STM32-P407 is derives more or less directly from the Olimex STM32-P207 board support. The P207 and P407 seem to share the same board design. Other code comes from the STM3240G board support (which has the same crystal and clocking) and from the STM32 F4 Discovery (which has the same STM32 part) Contents ======== o Board Support o microSD Card Interface o OTGFS Host o Configurations Board Support ============= The following peripherals are available in this configuration. - LEDs: show the sytem status - Buttons: TAMPER-button, WKUP-button, J1-Joystick (consists of RIGHT-, UP-, LEFT-, DOWN-, and CENTER-button). Built in app 'buttons' works. - ADC: ADC1 samples the red trim potentiometer AN_TR Built in app 'adc' works. - USB-FS-OTG: There is a USB-A-connector (host) connected to the full speed STM32 inputs. - USB-HS-OTG: The other connector (device) is connected to the high speed STM32 inputs. - CAN: Built in app 'can' works, but apart from that not really tested. - Ethernet: Ping to other station on the network works. microSD Card Interface ====================== microSD Connector ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- ------------------------ SD/MMC CONNECTOR BOARD GPIO CONFIGURATION(s PIN SIGNAL SIGNAL (no remapping) --- ------------- ----------------- ------------------------- 1 DAT2/RES SD_D2/USART3_TX/ PC10 GPIO_SDIO_D2 SPI3_SCK 2 CD/DAT3/CS SD_D3/USART3_RX/ PC11 GPIO_SDIO_D3 SPI3_MISO 3 CMD/DI SD_CMD PD2 GPIO_SDIO_CMD 4 VDD N/A N/A 5 CLK/SCLK SD_CLK/SPI3_MOSI PC12 GPIO_SDIO_CK 6 VSS N/A N/A 7 DAT0/D0 SD_D0/DCMI_D2 PC8 GPIO_SDIO_D0 8 DAT1/RES SD_D1/DCMI_D3 PC9 GPIO_SDIO_D1 --- ------------- ----------------- ------------------------- NOTES: 1. DAT4, DAT4, DAT6, and DAT7 not connected. 2. There are no alternative pin selections. 3. There is no card detect (CD) GPIO input so we will not sense if there is a card in the SD slot or not. This will make usage very awkward. Configuration ------------- Enabling SDIO-based MMC/SD support: System Type->STM32 Peripheral Support CONFIG_STM32_SDIO=y : Enable SDIO support CONFIG_STM32_DMA2=y : DMA2 is needed by the driver Device Drivers -> MMC/SD Driver Support CONFIG_MMCSD=y : Enable MMC/SD support CONFIG_MMSCD_NSLOTS=1 : One slot per driver instance # CONFIG_MMCSD_HAVECARDDETECT is not set : No card-detect GPIO # CONFIG_MMCSD_MMCSUPPORT is not set : Interferes with some SD cards # CONFIG_MMCSD_SPI is not set : No SPI-based MMC/SD support CONFIG_MMCSD_SDIO=y : SDIO-based MMC/SD support CONFIG_MMCSD_MULTIBLOCK_DISABLE=y : Disable to keep things simple CONFIG_SDIO_DMA=y : Use SDIO DMA # CONFIG_SDIO_BLOCKSETUP is not set : (not implemented) Library Routines CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE=y : Driver needs work queue support Application Configuration -> NSH Library CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y : NSH board-initialization Using the SD card ----------------- 1. Since there is no CD GPIO pin, the firmware sill not know if there is a card in the SD slot or not. It will assume that there is and attempt to mount the SD card on power-up. If there is no SD card in the card slot, there will be a long delay during initialization as the firmware attempts to query the non-existent card, timeout, and retry. 2. After booting, an SDIO device will appear as /dev/mmcsd0 3. If you try mounting an SD card with nothing in the slot, the mount will fail: nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/sdcard nsh: mount: mount failed: 19 STATUS: ------- 2017-01-28: There is no card communication. All commands to the SD card timeout. OTGFS Host ========== STM32 USB OTG FS Host Board Support ----------------------------------- A USB-A-connector (host) is connected to the full speed STM32 inputs. These are the pins supported by the STM32: PIN SIGNAL DIRECTION ---- ----------- ---------- PA8 OTG_FS_SOF SOF clock output PA9 OTG_FS_VBUS VBUS input for device, Driven by external regulator by host (not an alternate function) PA10 OTG_FS_ID OTG ID pin (only needed in Dual mode) PA11 OTG_FS_DM D- I/O PA12 OTG_FS_DP D+ I/O These are the signals available on-board: OTG_FS_VBUS Used host VBUS sensing (device input only) OTG_FS_DM Data minus OTG_FS_DP Dta plus NOTE: PA10 is currently used for DCMI_D1. The USB OTGFS host will configure this as the ID input. VBUS power is provided via an LM3526 and driven by USB_FS_VBUSON: USB_FS_VBUSON PC2 power on output to LM3526 #ENA USB_FS_FAULT PB10 overcurrent input from LM3526 FLAG_A. STM32 USB OTG FS Host Driver Configuration ------------------------------------------ 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 STM32 Options: CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS_RXFIFO_SIZE - Size of the RX FIFO in 32-bit words. Default 128 (512 bytes) CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS_NPTXFIFO_SIZE - Size of the non-periodic Tx FIFO in 32-bit words. Default 96 (384 bytes) CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS_PTXFIFO_SIZE - Size of the periodic Tx FIFO in 32-bit words. Default 96 (384 bytes) CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS_DESCSIZE - Maximum size of a descriptor. Default: 128 CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS_SOFINTR - Enable SOF interrupts. Why would you ever want to do that? CONFIG_STM32_USBHOST_REGDEBUG - Enable very low-level register access debug. Depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES. CONFIG_STM32_USBHOST_PKTDUMP - Dump all incoming and outgoing USB packets. Depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES. Olimex STM32 P407 Configuration: CONFIG_STM32F4DISCO_OLIMEXP407_PRIO - Priority of the USB host watier thread (default 100). CONFIG_STM32F4DISCO_OLIMEXP407_STACKSIZE - Stacksize of the USB host waiter thread (default 1024) Class Driver Configuration -------------------------- Individual class drivers have additional configuration requirements. The USB mass storage class, for example, requires FAT file system support. CONFIG_USBHOST_MSC=y CONFIG_FS_FAT=y CONFIG_FAT_LCNAMES=y CONFIG_FAT_LFN=y CONFIG_FAT_MAXFNAME=32 This will enable USB HID keyboard support: CONFIG_USBHOST_HIDKBD=y CONFIG_HIDKBD_BUFSIZE=64 CONFIG_HIDKBD_DEFPRIO=50 CONFIG_HIDKBD_POLLUSEC=100000 CONFIG_HIDKBD_STACKSIZE=1024 And this will enable the USB keyboard example: CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HIDKBD=y CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HIDKBD_DEFPRIO=50 CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HIDKBD_DEVNAME="/dev/kbda" CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HIDKBD_STACKSIZE=1024 Configurations ============== Information Common to All Configurations ---------------------------------------- Each Olimex STM32-P407 configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and can be selected as follow: cd tools ./configure.sh olimex-stm32-p407/ cd - . ./setenv.sh Where is one of the configuration sub-directories listed in the following section. Before sourcing the setenv.sh file above, you should examine it and perform edits as necessary so that TOOLCHAIN_BIN is 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 NOTES: 1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. To change this 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. Serial Output This configuraiont produces all of its test output on the serial console. This configuration has USART3 enabled as a serial console. This is the connector labeled RS232_2. This can easily be changed by reconfiguring with 'make menuconfig'. 3. Toolchain By default, the host platform is set to be Linux using the NuttX buildroot toolchain. The host and/or toolchain selection can easily be changed with 'make menuconfig'. 4. Note that CONFIG_STM32_DISABLE_IDLE_SLEEP_DURING_DEBUG is enabled so that the JTAG connection is not disconnected by the idle loop. Configuration sub-directories ----------------------------- The that is provided above as an argument to the tools/configure.sh must be is one of the following. knsh: This is identical to the nsh configuration below except that NuttX is built as a PROTECTED mode, monolithic module and the user applications are built separately. It is recommends 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. That 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. 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 The J-Link programmer will except files in .hex, .mot, .srec, and .bin formats. 2. Combining .hex files. If you plan to use the .hex files with your debugger or FLASH utility, then you may 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 to write the FLASH image. 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 the NuttShell (NSH) using the NSH startup logic at apps/examples/nsh. NOTES: 1. USB host support for USB FLASH sticks is enbabled. See the notes above under "OTGFS Host". STATUS: I have seen this work with some FLASH sticks but not with others. I have not studied the failure case carefully. They seem to fail because the request is NAKed. That is not a failure, however, that is normal behavior when the FLASH is not ready. There have been other cases like this with the STM32 host drivers: in the event of NAKs, other drivers retry and wait for the data. The STM32 does not but returns the NAK failure immediately. My guess is that there needs to be be some retry logic to the driver 100% reliable. 2. Kernel Modules / Shared Libraries I used this configuration for testing NuttX kernel modules in the FLAT build with the following configuration additions to the configuration file: CONFIG_BOARDCTL_OS_SYMTAB=y CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MODULE=y CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MODULE_BUILTINFS=y CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MODULE_DEVMINOR=0 CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MODULE_DEVPATH="/dev/ram0" CONFIG_FS_ROMFS=y CONFIG_LIBC_ARCH_ELF=y CONFIG_MODULE=y CONFIG_LIBC_MODLIB=y CONFIG_MODLIB_ALIGN_LOG2=2 CONFIG_MODLIB_BUFFERINCR=32 CONFIG_MODLIB_BUFFERSIZE=128 Add the following for testing shared libraries in the FLAT build: CONFIG_LIBC_DLLFCN=y CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SOTEST=y CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SOTEST_BUILTINFS=y CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SOTEST_DEVMINOR=1 CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SOTEST_DEVPATH="/dev/ram1" STATUS ====== 2016-12-21: This board configuration was ported from the Olimex STM32 P207 port. Note that none of the above features have been verified. USB, CAN, ADC, and Ethernet are disabled in the base NSH configuration until they can be verified. These features should be functional but may required some tweaks due to the different clock configurations. The Olimex STM32 P207 nsh/defconfig would be a good starting place for restoring these feature configurations. CCM memory is not included in the heap (CONFIG_STM32_CCMEXCLUDE=y) because it does no suport DMA, leaving only 128KiB for program usage. 2107-01-23: Added the the knsh configuration and support for the PROTECTED build mode.
