Open Issues
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The BASIC nsh configuration is fully function (as desribed below under
|
|
"Configurations"). There are still open issues that need to be resolved:
|
|
|
|
1. SDRAM support has been implemented and tested using the nsh
|
|
configuration (as desribed below). Currently the memory test does not
|
|
pass. I am suspecting that this is because D-Cache is enabled when
|
|
SDRAM is configured?
|
|
|
|
2. HSCMI. CONFIG_MMCSD_MULTIBLOCK_DISABLE=y is set to disable multi-block
|
|
transfers only because I have not yet had a chance to verify this. The
|
|
is very low priority to me but might be important to you if you are need
|
|
very high performance SD card accesses.
|
|
|
|
3. HSMCI TX DMA is currently disabled for the SAMV7. There is some
|
|
issue with the TX DMA setup (HSMCI TX DMA the same driver works with
|
|
the SAMA5D4 which has a different DMA subsystem). This is a bug that
|
|
needs to be resolved.
|
|
|
|
DMA is enabled by these settings in the file arch/arm/src/samvy/sam_hsmci.c:
|
|
|
|
#undef HSCMI_NORXDMA /* Define to disable RX DMA */
|
|
#define HSCMI_NOTXDMA 1 /* Define to disable TX DMA */
|
|
|
|
4. There may also be some issues with removing and re-inserting SD cards
|
|
(of course with appropriate mounting and unmounting). I all not sure
|
|
of this and need to do more testing to characterize if the issue.
|
|
|
|
5. There is not yet any support for the following board features: QSPI, USB,
|
|
EMAC, AT24, or WM8904 nor for any non-board features). Most of these
|
|
drivers will port easily from either the SAM3/4 or from the SAMA5Dx.
|
|
So there is still plenty to be done.
|
|
|
|
6. There has been a quick'n'dirty port of the SAMA5D4-EK Ethernet logic
|
|
for the SAMV71-XULT. There are still some cache-related issues to
|
|
be verified. No testing has yet been performed and so the driver should
|
|
be considered non-functional.
|
|
|
|
Serial Console
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The SAMV71-XULT 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
|
|
SAMV71-XULT board, this corresponds to UART3:

|
connectors. The following are labelled in the User Guide for USART

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.

|
|
|
|
Card Slot
|
|
---------
|
|
The SAM V71 Xplained Ultra has one standard SD card connector which is
|
|
connected to the High Speed Multimedia Card Interface (HSMCI) of the SAM
|
|
V71. 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_PIO_IRQ=y : PIO interrupts needed
|
|
CONFIG_SAMV7_PIOD_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_DISABLE=y : (REVISIT)
|
|
CONFIG_MMCSD_HAVECARDDETECT=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_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_SAMV7XULT_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT=y
|
|
CONFIG_SAMV7XULT_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_FSTYPE="vfat"
|
|
CONFIG_SAMV7XULT_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_BLKDEV="/dev/mmcsd0"
|
|
CONFIG_SAMV7XULT_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_MOUNTPOINT="/mnt/sdcard"
|
|
CONFIG_SAMV7XULT_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_DDELAY=1000
|
|
CONFIG_SAMV7XULT_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
|
|
----
|
|
There are two yellow LED available on the SAM V71 Xplained Ultra board that
|
|
can be turned on and off. The LEDs can be activated by driving the
|
|
connected I/O line to GND.

|
|
|
|
These LEDs are 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 LEDs are used to encode
|
|
OS-related events as follows:
|
|
|
|
------------------- ----------------------- -------- --------
|
|
SYMBOL Meaning LED state
|
|
LED0 LED1
|
|
------------------- ----------------------- -------- --------
|
|
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started OFF OFF
|
|
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF OFF
|
|
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled OFF OFF
|
|
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created ON OFF
|
|
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt No change
|
|
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler No change
|
|
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed No change
|
|
LED_PANIC The system has crashed N/C Blinking
|
|
LED_IDLE MCU is is sleep mode Not used
|
|
------------------- ----------------------- -------- --------
|
|
|
|
Thus if LED0 is statically on, NuttX has successfully booted and is,
|
|
apparently, running normally. If LED1 is flashing at approximately
|
|
2Hz, then a fatal error has been detected and the system has halted.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: That LED0 is not used after completion of booting and may
|
|
be used by other board-specific logic.
|
|
|
|
Buttons
|
|
-------
|
|
SAM V71 Xplained Ultra contains three mechanical buttons. One button is the
|
|
RESET button connected to the SAM V71 reset line and the others are generic
|
|
user configurable buttons. When a button is pressed it will drive the I/O
|
|
line to GND.

NOTES:
|
|
|
|
- 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 V71 to use the
|
|
button.
|
|
- PB12 is set up as a system flash ERASE pin when the firmware boots. To
|
|
use the SW1, PB12 has to be configured as a normal regular I/O pin in
|
|
the MATRIX module. For more information see the SAM V71 datasheet.

Ethernet MAC Address
|
|
--------------------
|
|
The SAM V71 Xplained Ultra features one external AT24MAC402 serial EEPROM
|
|
with a EIA-48 MAC address connected to the SAM V71 through I2C. This device
|
|
contains a MAC address for use with the Ethernet interface.

memory and 0b1011aaa for the "extended memory" where aaa is the state of
|
|
the A0, A1, and A3 pins on the part. On the SAMV71-XULT board, these

CONFIG_NSH_TELNET=y : Enable NSH session via Telnet
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_IPADDR=0x0a000002 : Select an IP address
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_DRIPADDR=0x0a000001 : IP address of gateway/host PC
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_NETMASK=0xffffff00 : Netmask

: Defaults should be okay for other options
|
|
|
|
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 SAMA4D4-EK will be 10.0.0.2 and
|
|
it will assume that your host is the gateway and has the IP address
|
|
10.0.0.1.
|
|
|
|
nsh> ifconfig
|
|
eth0 HWaddr 00:e0:de:ad:be:ef at UP
|
|
IPaddr:10.0.0.2 DRaddr:10.0.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
|
|
|
|
You can use ping to test for connectivity to the host (Careful,
|
|
Window firewalls usually block ping-related ICMP traffic). On the
|
|
target side, you can:
|
|
|
|
nsh> ping 10.0.0.1
|
|

|
|
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=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 SAMA4D4-EK:
|
|
|
|
$ ping 10.0.0.2
|
|
|
|
You can also log into the NSH from the host PC like this:
|
|
|
|
$ telnet 10.0.0.2
|
|
Trying 10.0.0.2...
|
|
Connected to 10.0.0.2.

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/configs/sama5d4-ek/src/sam_ethernet.c.
|
|
|
|
- And a few other things: UDP support is required (CONFIG_NET_UDP) and
|
|
signals must not be disabled (CONFIG_DISABLE_SIGNALS).
|
|
|
|
Given those prerequisites, the network monitor can be selected with these
|
|
additional settings.

Debugging
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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 ...

Configurations
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Information Common to All Configurations
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
Each SAMV71-XULT configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
|
|
can be selected as follow:
|
|
|
|
cd tools
|
|
./configure.sh samv71-xult/<subdir>
|
|
cd -
|
|
. ./setenv.sh
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
and misc/tools/
|
|
|
|
b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
|
|
reconfiguration process.
|
|
|
|
2. Unless stated otherwise, all configurations generate console
|
|
output on USART3 (i.e., for the Arduino serial shield).
|
|
|
|
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://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded
|
|
|
|
As of this writing (2015-03-11), full support is difficult to find
|
|
for the Cortex-M&, but is supported by at least this realeasse of
|
|
the ARM GNU tools:
|
|
|
|
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/192228215/release.txt
|
|
|
|
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_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIW=y : GNU ARM EABI toolchain
|
|
|
|
Configuration sub-directories
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
nsh:
|
|
|
|
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh.
|
|
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. Default stack sizes are large and should really be tuned to reduce
|
|
the RAM footprint:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK=2048
|
|
CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE=1024
|
|
CONFIG_USERMAIN_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 not enabled in this configuration. I have enabled SDRAM and
|
|
the apps/examples RAM test using this configuration settings:
|
|
|
|
System Type
|
|
CONFIG_SAMV7_SDRAMC=y
|
|
CONFIG_SAMV7_SDRAMSIZE=2097152
|
|
|
|
Application Configuration:
|
|
CONFIG_SYSTEM_RAMTEST=y
|
|
|
|
The RAM test can be executed as follows:
|
|
|
|
nsh> ramtest -w 70000000 209152
|
|
|
|
STATUS: As of this writing, SDRAM does not pass the RAM test. This is the sympton:
|
|
|
|
nsh> mw 70000000
|
|
70000000 = 0x00000000
|
|
nsh> mw 70000000=55555555
|
|
70000000 = 0x00000000 -> 0x55555555
|
|
nsh> mw 70000000
|
|
70000000 = 0x55555555
|
|
|
|
nsh> mw 70100000
|
|
70100000 = 0x00000000
|
|
nsh> mw 70100000=aaaaaaaa
|

|
|
|
|
nsh> mw 70000000
|
|
70000000 = 0x00000000 <<< Lost RAM content
|
|
|
|
5. The button test at apps/examples/buttons is included in the
|
|
configuration. This configuration illustrates (1) use of the buttons
|
|
on the evaluation board, and (2) the use of PIO interrupts. Example

6. TWI/I2C
|
|
|
|
TWIHS0 is enabled in this configuration. The SAM V71 Xplained Ultra
|
|
supports two devices on the one on-board I2C device on the TWIHS0 bus:
|
|
(1) The AT24MAC402 serial EEPROM described above and (2) the Wolfson
|
|
WM8904 audio CODEC. This device contains a MAC address for use with
|
|
the Ethernet interface.
|
|
|
|
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_I2C_TRANSFER=y
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYSTEM_I2CTOOL=y
|
|
CONFIG_I2CTOOL_MINBUS=0
|
|
CONFIG_I2CTOOL_MAXBUS=0
|
|
CONFIG_I2CTOOL_MINADDR=0x03
|
|
CONFIG_I2CTOOL_MAXADDR=0x77
|
|
CONFIG_I2CTOOL_MAXREGADDR=0xff
|
|
CONFIG_I2CTOOL_DEFFREQ=400000
|
|
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
|
|
nsh> i2c

Write register: set [OPTIONS] <value> [<repititions>]
|
|
Verify access : verf [OPTIONS] [<value>] [<repititions>]
|
|
|
|
Where common "sticky" OPTIONS include:
|
|
[-a addr] is the I2C device address (hex). Default: 03 Current: 03
|
|
[-b bus] is the I2C bus number (decimal). Default: 0 Current: 0
|
|
[-r regaddr] is the I2C device register address (hex). Default: 00 Current: 00
|
|
[-w width] is the data width (8 or 16 decimal). Default: 8 Current: 8
|
|
[-s|n], send/don't send start between command and data. Default: -n Current: -n
|
|
[-i|j], Auto increment|don't increment regaddr on repititions. Default: NO Current: NO
|
|
[-f freq] I2C frequency. Default: 400000 Current: 400000
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
o An environment variable like $PATH may be used for any argument.
|
|
o Arguments are "sticky". For example, once the I2C address is
|
|
specified, that address will be re-used until it is changed.
|

|
|
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 SAMV71-XULT 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.
