Supported peripherals:
UART, TIMER, RTC, GPIO, DMA, I2C, SPI, LCD, eMMC, USB, WDT, ADC, Audio.
Settings
^^^^^^^^
1. eMMC boot and SRAM boot via openocd are supported.
If you do SRAM boot via openocd+gdb, please specify hookpost-load in .gdbinit
to set MSP (main stack pointer) as follows.
define hookpost-load
print *(uint32_t *)0x02040000
set $sp=$
end
2. If SWD connection is lost, please specify lower adaptor clock.
3. Both CPUs are running at 160MHz.
4. Internal SRAMs (seg0 to seg5) are used.
5. Serial console can be used via external USB-UART (115200/8/N/1).
6. Interrupt handlers except for inter-cpu are handled on CPU0.
SMP related Status
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CPU activities are shown at D9 (CPU0) and D10 (CPU1) respectively.
Currently all applications except for ostest work in SMP mode but might stop
due to deadlocks or ASSERT(). For a workaround, please try
$ cd apps; git diff
diff --git a/examples/ostest/waitpid.c b/examples/ostest/waitpid.c

9. IPL2 and eMMC boot
IPL2 is the 2nd boot loader based on NuttX and can be built as follows.
$ make distclean
$ ./tools/configure.sh lc823450-xgevk:ipl2
$ make V=1
$ MakeIPL2 ./nuttx.bin 0 2 0 0 0
$ cp LC8234xx_17S_start_data.boot_bin /tmp/
To write the IPL2 (LC8234xx_17S_start_data.boot_bin),
firstly build USB configuration image.
$ make distclean
$ ./tools/configure.sh lc823450-xgevk:usb
$ make V=1
Load the nuttx.bin with openocd + gdb
$ cd openocd-nuttx
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo ./src/openocd -s ./tcl -f ./tcl/board/lc823450_xgevk.cfg -c init -c "reset halt"
$ arm-none-eabi-gdb
(gdb) target extended-remote :3333
(gdb) load ./nuttx
(gdb) symbol-file ./nuttx
(gdb) c
Start USB MSC to copy nuttx.bin and the IPL2 to the FAT32 partition (/dev/mtdblock0p10)
then dd the files to the kernel partition (/dev/mtdblock0p4) and the IPL2 partition
(/dev/mtdblock0p1) respectively.
nsh> mkfatfs -F 32 /dev/mtdblock0p10
nsh> msconn
$ sudo cp ./nuttx.bin /media/usb0/
$ sudo cp /tmp/LC8234xx_17S_start_data.boot_bin /media/usb0/
$ sudo sync
nsh> msdis
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mtdblock0p10 /mnt/sd0
nsh> dd if=/mnt/sd0/nuttx.bin of=/dev/mtdblock0p4
nsh> dd if=/mnt/sd0/LC8234xx_17S_start_data.boot_bin of=/dev/mtdblock0p1
nsh> reboot
10. Audio playback (WAV/44.1k/16bit/2ch only)
Firstly, please make sure that the jumper pins are set as follows.
JP1, JP2 => short
JP3, JP4 => open
To play WAV file on uSD card,
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mtdblock1 /mnt/sd1
nsh> nxplayer
nxplayer> play /mnt/sd1/sample.wav
nxplayer> volume 50
Please note that a WAV file which contains sub-chunks other than "fmt"
and "data" is not supported in pcm_decode.c So, if your wav file contains
meta-data, please remove the sub-chunks before playing.
11. Networking
lc823450/rndis configuration supports networking features with RNDIS.
To use this feature, you have to connect the board to a RNDIS host.
Currently Linux host is only tested but Windows host should work.
If DHCP server is available, you would see ifconfig results like:
nsh> ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:e0:de:ad:be:ff at UP
inet addr:192.168.1.244 DRaddr:192.168.1.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
lo Link encap:Local Loopback at UP
inet addr:127.0.0.1 DRaddr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
IPv4 TCP UDP ICMP

RST: 0000 0000
Type 0000 ---- ---- 0000
Sent 0003 0000 0003 0000
Rexmit ---- 0000 ---- ----
12. DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling)
lc823450-xgevk/audio and rndis configurations support DVFS.
You can check the status via /proc/dvfs
nsh> cat /proc/dvfs
cur_freq 160
enable 0
By default, DVFS is disabled. To enable,
nsh> echo "enable 1" > /proc/dvfs
In addition, you can change CPU frequency to 160/80/40 manually.
To change the frequency, enable the DVFS first then do the following.
nsh> echo "cur_freq 80" > /proc/dvfs.
If you want to run in autonomous mode,
nsh> echo "auto 1" > /proc/dvfs.
In autonomous mode, you don't need to set cur_freq. Instead,
cur_freq will show the current CPU frequency.
NOTE: Currently Vdd1 is fixed to 1.2V which will be changed
in the future version.
TODO
^^^^
The following features will be supported.
Accelerometer, etc.
