hence WRPROTEC is always ON. Either place a 4.7KOhm resistor or change PIN config
to PULLDOWN, loosing Write Protect function. See twrk64.h.

The TWR-K64F120M features two expansion card-edge connectors that interface
to the Primary and Secondary Elevator boards in a Tower system. The Primary
Connector (comprised of sides A and B) is identified by a white strip.
The Secondary Connector is comprised of sides C and D.


TWR-SER Serial Board Connection
===============================

The serial board connects into the tower and then maps to the tower pins to
yet other functions (see TWR-SER-SCH.pdf).

In particular it features an Ethernet port.

Networking Support
==================

  U2 is a 25 MHz oscillator (which may be disabled by setting J4), which clock is sent to U1.
  U1 has two clock output banks: 25MHz (CLKBx) and 50MHz (CLKAx).
  J2 (ser board) is used to select the PHY clock source: 50MHz, 25MHz or CLCKOUT0 from K64. Set it to 25MHz.
  In order to keep synchornized the PHY clock with the K64 clock, one can set J3 (default is open)
  to route CLOCKIN0 either from 25MHz or 50Mhz lines. In that case, J33 (main board) will have to be removed
  and J32 (main board set) set to disable its 50MHz_OSC and use CLKIN0 provided by ser board.
  J12 is by default set to RMII mode. In this case J2 should be placed to 50MHz clock
  Note that in MII mode, MII0_TXER is required by kinetis driver, but not connected on ser board

                                        : Defaults should be okay for other options

  You can also enable enable the DHCPC client for networks that use
  dynamically assigned address:

  Application Configuration -> Network Utilities
    CONFIG_NETUTILS_DHCPC=y             : Enables the DHCP client

  Networking Support
    CONFIG_NET_UDP=y                    : Depends on broadcast UDP

  Application Configuration -> NSH Library
    CONFIG_NET_BROADCAST=y
    CONFIG_NSH_DHCPC=y                  : Tells NSH to use DHCPC, not
                                        : the fixed addresses

  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 DK-TM4C129X will be 192.168.0.233 and
  it will assume that your host is the gateway and has the IP address
  192.168.0.254.

    nsh> ifconfig
    eth0	Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 16:03:60:0f:00:33 at UP
	    inet addr:192.168.0.233 DRaddr:192.168.0.254 Mask:255.255.255.

  You can use ping to test for connectivity to the host (Careful,
  Window firewalls usually block ping-related ICMP traffic).

  On the host PC side, you may be able to ping the TWR-K64F120M:

    $ ping 192.168.0.233
    PING 192.168.0.233 (192.168.0.233) 56(84) bytes of data.

  From the target side, you may should also be able to ping the host
  (assuming it's IP is 192.168.0.1):
  
    nsh> ping 192.168.0.1

    NuttShell (NSH)
    nsh>

  NOTE:  If you enable this networking as described above, you will
  experience a delay on booting NSH.  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.

  The kinetis_enet.c driver, does not wait too long for PHY to negotiate
  the link speed. In this case it folds back to 10Mbs half-duplex
  mode. This behaviour should be improved in order to cope with the
  plug and play nature of this port.

  Reconfiguring after the network becomes available requires the
  network monitor feature, also discussed below.

  Network Initialization Thread
  -----------------------------
  [not tested on K64F120M]
  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 current implementation, however, 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 (it could perform a network Ioctl to see if the link is
      up and it now, keep trying, but it does not do that now).

    - Furthermore, there is currently no support for detecting loss of
      network connection and recovery of the connection (similarly, this
      thread could poll periodically for network status, but does not).

  Both of these shortcomings could 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.

    - The K64F EMAC block does not support PHY interrupts.  The KSZ8081
      PHY interrupt line is brought to a jumper block and it should be
      possible to connect that some some interrupt port pin.  You would
      need to provide some custom logic in the Freedcom K64F
      configuration to set up that PHY interrupt.

    - In addtion to the PHY interrupt, the Network Monitor also requires the
      following setting:

        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 SAMA5 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.  For the K64F, like most other architectures, the PHY
        interrupt must be provided via some board-specific GPIO.  In any
        event, the board-specific logic must provide support for the PHY
        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().

        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.

    System Type -> Kinetis Ethernet Configuration
      CONFIG_ARCH_PHY_INTERRUPT=y           : (auto-selected)
      CONFIG_NETDEV_PHY_IOCTL=y             : (auto-selected)

    Application Configuration -> NSH Library -> Networking Configuration
      CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_THREAD             : Enable the network initialization thread
      CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_MONITOR=y          : Enable the network monitor
      CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_RETRYMSEC=2000     : Configure the network monitor as you like
      CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_SIGNO=18


LEDs
====

The TWR-K64F120M board has four LEDs labeled D5, D6, D7, D9 on the board.  Usage of
these LEDs is defined in include/board.h and src/up_leds.c.  They are encoded
as follows:

    SYMBOL                Meaning                  LED1*    LED2    LED3    LED4
    -------------------   -----------------------  -------  ------- ------- ------
    LED_STARTED           NuttX has been started   OFF      OFF     OFF     N/A
    LED_HEAPALLOCATE      Heap has been allocated  OFF      OFF     OFF     N/A
    LED_IRQSENABLED       Interrupts enabled       OFF      OFF     OFF     N/A
    LED_STACKCREATED      Idle stack created       ON       OFF     OFF     N/A
    LED_INIRQ             In an interrupt**        N/C      ON      N/C     N/A
    LED_SIGNAL            In a signal handler***   N/C      N/C     ON      N/A
    LED_ASSERTION         An assertion failed      ON       ON      ON      N/A
    LED_PANIC             The system has crashed   Blink    N/C     N/C    N/A
    LED_IDLE              K64 is is sleep mode   (Optional, not used)

  * If LED1, LED2, LED3 are statically on, then NuttX probably failed to boot
    and these LEDs will give you some indication of where the failure was
 ** The normal state is LED1 ON and LED2 faintly glowing.  This faint glow
    is because of timer interrupts and signal that result in the LED being 
    illuminated on a small proportion of the time.
*** LED3 may even glow faintlier then LED2 while signals are processed.

Development Environment
=======================

  Either Linux or Cygwin on Windows can be used for the development environment.
  The source has been built only using the GNU toolchain (see below).  Other
  toolchains will likely cause problems. Testing was performed using the Linux
  environment.

GNU Toolchain Options
=====================

  The NuttX make system has been modified to support the following different
  toolchain options.

  1. The CodeSourcery GNU toolchain,
  2. The devkitARM GNU toolchain,
  3. The NuttX buildroot Toolchain (see below).

  All testing has been conducted using the CodeSourcery Windows toolchain.  To
  use the devkitARM or the NuttX GNU toolchain, you simply need to change the
  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_IARL=y           : IAR
    CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_DEVKITARM=y      : devkitARM under Windows
    CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y      : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin
    CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIL=y      : GCC (default)

  If you are not using CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT, 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) and devkitARM 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.

  NOTE 1: 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.

  NOTE 2: The devkitARM toolchain includes a version of MSYS make.  Make sure that
  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/k40,
     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/kinetis/k40_vectors.S.

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-M4 GCC toolchain (if
  different from the default in your PATH variable).

  If you have no Cortex-M4 toolchain, one can be downloaded from the NuttX
  Bitbucket download site (https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/buildroot/downloads/).
  This GNU toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin environment.

  NOTE:  The NuttX toolchain may not include optimizations for Cortex-M4 (ARMv7E-M).

  1. You must have already configured Nuttx in <some-dir>/nuttx.

     cd tools
     ./configure.sh twr-k64f120m/<sub-dir>

  2. Download the latest buildroot package into <some-dir>

  3. unpack the buildroot tarball.  The resulting directory may
     have versioning information on it like buildroot-x.y.z.  If so,
     rename <some-dir>/buildroot-x.y.z to <some-dir>/buildroot.

  4. cd <some-dir>/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-M4 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 Bitbucket download site
  (https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/nuttx/downloads/).

  This GNU toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin environment.

  1. You must have already configured Nuttx in <some-dir>/nuttx.

     cd tools
     ./configure.sh lpcxpresso-lpc1768/<sub-dir>

  2. Download the latest buildroot package into <some-dir>

  3. unpack the buildroot tarball.  The resulting directory may
     have versioning information on it like buildroot-x.y.z.  If so,
     rename <some-dir>/buildroot-x.y.z to <some-dir>/buildroot.

  4. cd <some-dir>/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.

TWR-K64F120M-specific Configuration Options
==========================================

    CONFIG_ARCH - Identifies the arch/ subdirectory.  This sould
       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=kinetis

    CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code to identify the exact
       chip:

       CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_MK64FN1M0VMD12=y

    CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
       hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.

       CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=twr-k64f120m (for the TWR-K64F120M development board)

    CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code

       CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_TWR_K64F120M=y

    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=262144 (256Kb)

    CONFIG_RAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM

       CONFIG_RAM_START=0x1fff0000

    CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LEDs to show state. Unique to boards that
       have LEDs

       CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS=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_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.

    This is the same config then nsh, but it adds Ethernet support with the
    TWR-SER card. It includes telnetd in order to access nsh from Ethernet.
    IP address defaults to 192.168.0.233/24.
 
    NOTES:

    1. See networking support for application and especially for jumper setting.
       In this config, this is TWR-SER that clocks the MCU.
    
    2. The PHY link negotiation is done at boot time only. If no link is then
       available, a fallback mode is used at 10Mbs/half-duplex. Please make sure
       your ethernet cable and switches are on before booting.
