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 Cygwin
environment because the Raisonance R-Link emulatator and some RIDE7 development tools
were used and those tools works only under Windows.
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 Windows. 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_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows
CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux
CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_LITE=y : The free, "Lite" version of Atollic toolchain under Windows
CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_PRO=y : The paid, "Pro" version of Atollic toolchain under Windows
CONFIG_STM32_DEVKITARM=y : devkitARM under Windows
CONFIG_STM32_RAISONANCE=y : Raisonance RIDE7 under Windows
CONFIG_STM32_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.
Support has been added for making dependencies with the windows-native toolchains.
That support can be enabled by modifying your Make.defs file as follows:
- MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mknulldeps.sh
+ MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mkdeps.sh --winpaths "$(TOPDIR)"
If you have problems with the dependency build (for example, if you are not
building on C:), then you may need to modify tools/mkdeps.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 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/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189573).
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 STM32F4Discovery/<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-4.3.3 .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
detailed PLUS some special instructions that you will need to follow if you are
building a Cortex-M3 toolchain for Cygwin under Windows.
LEDs
====
The STM32F4Discovery board has four LEDs; green, organge, red and blue on the
board.. 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/up_leds.c. The LEDs are used to encode OS-related
events as follows:
SYMBOL Meaning LED1* LED2 LED3 LED4
green orange red blue
------------------- ----------------------- ------- ------- ------- ------
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started ON OFF OFF OFF
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF ON OFF OFF
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled ON ON OFF OFF
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created OFF OFF ON OFF
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt** ON N/C N/C OFF
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler*** N/C ON N/C OFF
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed ON ON N/C OFF
LED_PANIC The system has crashed N/C N/C N/C ON
LED_IDLE STM32 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 LED3 ON and LED1 faintly glowing. This faint glow
is because of timer interupts that result in the LED being illuminated
on a small proportion of the time.
*** LED2 may also flicker normally if signals are processed.
PWM
===
The STM32F4Discovery has no real on-board PWM devices, but the board can be
configured to output a pulse train using TIM4 CH2 on PD3. This pin is
available next to the audio jack.

** Port H pins are not supported by the MCU
Quadrature Encode Timer Inputs
------------------------------
If enabled (by setting CONFIG_QENCODER=y), then quadrature encoder will
use either TIM2 or TIM8 (see nsh/defconfig). If TIM2 is selected, the input
pins PA15 and PA1 for CH1 and CH2, respectively). If TIM8 is selected, then
PC6 and PI5 will be used for CH1 and CH2 (see include board.h for pin
definitions).
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 */
CFLAGS
------
Only the Atollic toolchain has built-in support for the Cortex-M4 FPU. You will see
the following lines in each Make.defs file:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_LITE),y)
# Atollic toolchain under Windows
...
ifeq ($(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
endif
If you are using a toolchain other than the Atollic toolchain, then to use the FPU
you will also have to modify the CFLAGS to enable compiler support for the ARMv7-M
FPU. As of this writing, there are not many GCC toolchains that will support the
ARMv7-M FPU.
As a minimum you will need to add CFLAG options to (1) enable hardware floating point
code generation, and to (2) select the FPU implementation. You might try the same
options as used with the Atollic toolchain in the Make.defs file:
ARCHCPUFLAGS = -mcpu=cortex-m4 -mthumb -march=armv7e-m -mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard
FSMC SRAM
=========
On-board SRAM
-------------
The STM32F4Discovery has no on-board SRAM. The information here is only for
reference in case you choose to add some.
Configuration Options
---------------------
Internal SRAM is available in all members of the STM32 family. The F4 family
also contains internal CCM SRAM. This SRAM is different because it cannot
be used for DMA. So if DMA needed, then the following should be defined
to exclude CCM SRAM from the heap:
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_STM32_FSMC=y : Enables the FSMC
CONFIG_STM32_FSMC_SRAM=y : Indicates that SRAM is available via the
FSMC (as opposed to an LCD or FLASH).
CONFIG_HEAP2_BASE : The base address of the SRAM in the FSMC
address space
CONFIG_HEAP2_END : The end (+1) of the SRAM in the FSMC
address space
CONFIG_MM_REGIONS : Must be set to a large enough value to
include the FSMC SRAM
SRAM Configurations
-------------------
There are 4 possible SRAM configurations:
Configuration 1. System SRAM (only)
CONFIG_MM_REGIONS == 1
CONFIG_STM32_FSMC_SRAM NOT defined
CONFIG_STM32_CCMEXCLUDE defined
Configuration 2. System SRAM and CCM SRAM
CONFIG_MM_REGIONS == 2
CONFIG_STM32_FSMC_SRAM NOT defined
CONFIG_STM32_CCMEXCLUDE NOT defined
Configuration 3. System SRAM and FSMC SRAM
CONFIG_MM_REGIONS == 2
CONFIG_STM32_FSMC_SRAM defined
CONFIG_STM32_CCMEXCLUDE defined
Configuration 4. System SRAM, CCM SRAM, and FSMC SRAM
CONFIG_MM_REGIONS == 3
CONFIG_STM32_FSMC_SRAM defined
CONFIG_STM32_CCMEXCLUDE NOT defined
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_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=y : Disable the CodeSourcery toolchain
+CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=n
-CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_LITE=n : Enable *one* the Atollic toolchains
CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_PRO=n
-CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_LITE=y : The "Lite" version
CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_PRO=n : The "Pro" version
-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.
SSD1289
=======
I purchased an LCD display on eBay from china. The LCD is 320x240 RGB565 and
is based on an SSD1289 LCD controller and an XPT2046 touch IC. The pin out
from the 2x16 connect on the LCD is labeled as follows:

1 Used for the RED LED

3 Used for the RED LED and for OTG FS Overcurrent. It may be okay to use
for the parallel interface if PC0 is held high (or floating). PC0 enables
the STMPS2141STR IC power switch that drives the OTG FS host VBUS.
4 Also the reset pin for the CS43L22 audio Codec.
NOTE: The configuration to test this LCD configuration is available at
configs/stm32f4discover/nxlines. As of this writing, I have not seen the
LCD working so I probaby have some things wrong.
I might need to use a bit-baning interface. Below is the pin configurationf
of a similar LCD to support a (write-only), bit banging interface:
LCD PIN BOARD CONNECTION
LEDA 5V
VCC 5V
RD 3.3V
GND GND
DB0-7 Port C pins configured as outputs
DB8-15 Port A pins configured as outputs
RS Pin configured as output

The following summarize the bit banging oprations:
/* Rese the LCD */
void Reset(void)
{

/* Write 16-bits of whatever */

}
STM32F4Discovery-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=STM32F4Discovery (for the STM32F4Discovery 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_DRAM_SIZE - Describes the installed DRAM (SRAM in this case):
CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE=0x00010000 (64Kb)
CONFIG_DRAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
CONFIG_DRAM_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_STM32_FSMC_SRAM - Indicates that SRAM is available via the
FSMC (as opposed to an LCD or FLASH).
CONFIG_HEAP2_BASE - The base address of the SRAM in the FSMC address space
CONFIG_HEAP2_END - The end (+1) of the SRAM in the FSMC address space
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO - The STM32F4Discovery supports interrupt prioritization
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO=y
CONFIG_ARCH_FPU - The STM32F4Discovery supports a floating point unit (FPU)
CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y
CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LEDs to show state. Unique to boards that
have LEDs
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.

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
STM32F4Discovery 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).

Configurations
==============
Each STM32F4Discovery configuration is maintained in a sudirectory and
can be selected as follow:
cd tools
./configure.sh STM32F4Discovery/<subdir>
cd -
. ./setenv.sh
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
ostest:
------
This configuration directory, performs a simple OS test using
examples/ostest. By default, this project assumes that you are
using the DFU bootloader.
Default toolchain:
CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux / Mac OS X
If you use the Atollic toolchain, then the FPU test can be enabled in the
examples/ostest by adding the following your NuttX configuration file:
-CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=n : Enable FPU support
+CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y
-CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=y : Disable the CodeSourcery toolchain
+CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=n
-CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_LITE=n : Enable *one* the Atollic toolchains
CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_PRO=n
-CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_LITE=y : The "Lite" version
CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_PRO=n : The "Pro" version
-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)
-CONFIG_SCHED_WAITPID=y : Enable the waitpid() API needed by the FPU test
+CONFIG_SCHED_WAITPID=n
The FPU test also needs to know the size of the FPU registers save area in
bytes (see arch/arm/include/armv7-m/irq_lazyfpu.h):
-CONFIG_EXAMPLES_OSTEST_FPUSIZE=(4*33)
nsh:
---
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at apps/examples/nsh. The
Configuration enables both the serial and telnet NSH interfaces.
Default toolchain:
CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux / Mac OS X
NOTES:
1. This example supports the PWM test (apps/examples/pwm) but this must
be manually enabled by selecting:
CONFIG_PWM=y : Enable the generic PWM infrastructure
CONFIG_STM32_TIM4=y : Enable TIM4
CONFIG_STM32_TIM4_PWM=y : Use TIM4 to generate PWM output
See also apps/examples/README.txt
Special PWM-only debug options:
CONFIG_DEBUG_PWM
2. This example supports the Quadrature Encode test (apps/examples/qencoder)
but this must be manually enabled by selecting:
CONFIG_QENCODER=y : Enable the generic Quadrature Encoder infrastructure
CONFIG_STM32_TIM8=y : Enable TIM8
CONFIG_STM32_TIM2=n : (Or optionally TIM2)
CONFIG_STM32_TIM8_QE=y : Use TIM8 as the quadrature encoder
CONFIG_STM32_TIM2_QE=y : (Or optionally TIM2)
See also apps/examples/README.txt
Special PWM-only debug options:
CONFIG_DEBUG_QENCODER
3. This example supports the watchdog timer test (apps/examples/watchdog)
but this must be manually enabled by selecting:
CONFIG_WATCHDOG=y : Enables watchdog timer driver support
CONFIG_STM32_WWDG=y : Enables the WWDG timer facility, OR
CONFIG_STM32_IWDG=y : Enables the IWDG timer facility (but not both)
The WWDG watchdog is driven off the (fast) 42MHz PCLK1 and, as result,
has a maximum timeout value of 49 milliseconds. for WWDG watchdog, you
should also add the fillowing to the configuration file:
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG_PINGDELAY=20
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT=49
The IWDG timer has a range of about 35 seconds and should not be an issue.
4. USB Support (CDC/ACM device)
CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS=y : STM32 OTG FS support
CONFIG_USBDEV=y : USB device support must be enabled
CONFIG_CDCACM=y : The CDC/ACM driver must be built
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y : NSH built-in application support must be enabled
5. Using the USB console.
The STM32F4Discovery NSH configuration can be set up to use a USB CDC/ACM
(or PL2303) USB console. The normal way that you would configure the
the USB console would be to change the .config file like this:
CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS=y : STM32 OTG FS support
CONFIG_DEV_CONSOLE=n : Inhibit use of /dev/console by other logic
CONFIG_USBDEV=y : USB device support must be enabled
CONFIG_CDCACM=y : The CDC/ACM driver must be built
CONFIG_CDCACM_CONSOLE=y : Enable the CDC/ACM USB console.
However, that configuration does not work. It fails early probably because
of some dependency on /dev/console before the USB connection is established.
But there is a work around for this that works better (but has some side
effects). The following configuration will also create a NSH USB console
but this version will will use /dev/console. Instead, it will use the
normal /dev/ttyACM0 USB serial device for the console:
CONFIG_STM32_OTGFS=y : STM32 OTG FS support
CONFIG_USBDEV=y : USB device support must be enabled
CONFIG_CDCACM=y : The CDC/ACM driver must be built
CONFIG_CDCACM_CONSOLE=n : Done use the CDC/ACM USB console.
CONFIG_NSH_USBCONSOLE=y : Instead use some other USB device for the console
The particular USB device that is used is:
CONFIG_NSH_USBCONDEV="/dev/ttyACM0"
NOTE 1: When you first start the USB console, you have hit ENTER a few
times before NSH starts. The logic does this to prevent sending USB data
before there is anything on the host side listening for USB serial input.
Now the side effects:
NOTE 2. When any other device other than /dev/console is used for a user
interface, linefeeds (\n) will not be expanded to carriage return /
linefeeds (\r\n). You will need to set your terminal program to account
for this.
NOTE 3: /dev/console still exists and still refers to the serial port. So
you can still use certain kinds of debug output (see include/debug.h, all
of the interfaces based on lib_lowprintf will work in this configuration).

placing lines on the background in various orientations.
CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows
CONFIG_LCD_LANDSCAPE=y : 320x240 landscape orientation
The STM32F4Discovery board does not have any graphics capability. This
configuration assumes that you have connected an SD1289-based LCD as
described about under "SSD1289". NOTE: At present, it has not been
proven that the STM32F4Discovery can actually drive an LCD. There are
some issues with how some of the dedicated FSMC pins are used on the
boards. This configuration may not be useful and may only serve as
an illustration of how to build for th SSD1289 LCD.
Default toolchain:
CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows
NOTE: As of this writing, I have not seen the LCD work!
pm:
--
This is a configuration that is used to test STM32 power management, i.e.,
to test that the board can go into lower and lower states of power usage
as a result of inactivity. This configuration is based on the nsh2
configuration with modifications for testing power management. This
configuration should provide some guideline for power management in your
STM32 application.
CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows
CONFIG_PM_CUSTOMINIT and CONFIG_IDLE_CUSTOM are necessary parts of the
PM configuration:
CONFIG_PM_CUSTOMINIT=y
CONFIG_PM_CUSTOMINIT moves the PM initialization from arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_pminitialiaze.c
to configs/stm3210-eval/src/up_pm.c. This allows us to support board-
specific PM initialization.
CONFIG_IDLE_CUSTOM=y
The bulk of the PM activities occur in the IDLE loop. The IDLE loop is
special because it is what runs when there is no other task running. Therefore
when the IDLE executes, we can be assure that nothing else is going on; this
is the ideal condition for doing reduced power management.
The configuration CONFIG_IDLE_CUSTOM allows us to "steal" the normal STM32
IDLE loop (of arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_idle.c) and replace this with our own
custom IDLE loop (at configs/stm3210-eval/src/up_idle.c).
Here are some additional things to note in the configuration:
CONFIG_PM_BUTTONS=y
CONFIG_PM_BUTTONS enables button support for PM testing. Buttons can drive
EXTI interrupts and EXTI interrrupts can be used to wakeup for certain reduced
power modes (STOP mode). The use of the buttons here is for PM testing purposes
only; buttons would normally be part the application code and CONFIG_PM_BUTTONS
would not be defined.
CONFIG_RTC_ALARM=y
The RTC alarm is used to wake up from STOP mode and to transition to
STANDBY mode. This used of the RTC alarm could conflict with other uses of
the RTC alarm in your application.
