Serial Console
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The LPC1766-STK board has two serial connectors. One, RS232_0, connects to
|
|
the LPC1766 UART0. This is the DB-9 connector next to the power connector.
|
|
The other RS232_1, connect to the LPC1766 UART1. This is he DB-9 connector
|
|
next to the Ethernet connector.
|
|
|
|
Simple UART1 is the more flexible UART and since the needs for a serial
|
|
console are minimal, the more minimal UART0/RS232_0 is used for the NuttX
|
|
system console. Of course, this can be changed by editing the NuttX
|
|
configuration file as discussed below.
|
|
|
|
The serial console is configured as follows (57600 8N1):
|
|
|
|
BAUD: 57600
|
|
Number of Bits: 8
|
|
Parity: None
|
|
Stop bits: 1
|
|
|
|
You will need to connect a monitor program (Hyperterminal, Tera Term,
|
|
minicom, whatever) to UART0/RS232_0 and configure the serial port as
|
|
shown above.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: These configurations have problems at 115200 baud.
|
|
|
|
LCD
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The LPC1766-STK has a Nokia 6100 132x132 LCD and either a Phillips PCF8833
|
|
or an Epson S1D15G10 LCD controller. The NuttX configuration may have to
|
|
be adjusted depending on which controller is used with the LCD. The
|
|
"LPC1766-STK development board Users Manual" states tha the board features
|
|
a "LCD NOKIA 6610 128x128 x12bit color TFT with Epson LCD controller."
|
|
But, referring to a different Olimex board, "Nokia 6100 LCD Display
|
|
Driver," Revision 1, James P. Lynch ("Nokia 6100 LCD Display Driver.pdf")
|
|
says:
|
|
|
|
"The major irritant in using this display is identifying the graphics
|
|
controller; there are two possibilities (Epson S1D15G00 or Philips
|
|
PCF8833). The LCD display sold by the German Web Shop Jelu has a Leadis
|
|
LDS176 controller but it is 100% compatible with the Philips PCF8833).
|
|
So how do you tell which controller you have? Some message boards have
|
|
suggested that the LCD display be disassembled and the controller chip
|
|
measured with a digital caliper well that's getting a bit extreme.
|
|
|
|
"Here's what I know. The Olimex boards have both display controllers
|
|
possible; if the LCD has a GE-12 sticker on it, it's a Philips PCF8833.
|
|
If it has a GE-8 sticker, it's an Epson controller. The older Sparkfun
|
|
6100 displays were Epson, their web site indicates that the newer ones
|
|
are an Epson clone. Sparkfun software examples sometimes refer to the
|
|
Philips controller so the whole issue has become a bit murky. The
|
|
trading companies in Honk Kong have no idea what is inside the displays
|
|
they are selling. A Nokia 6100 display that I purchased from Hong Kong
|
|
a couple of weeks ago had the Philips controller."
|
|
|
|
The LCD connects to the LPC1766 via SPI and two GPIOs. The two GPIOs are
|
|
noted above:
|
|
|
|
P1.21 is the SPI chip select, and
|
|
P3.25 is the LCD reset
|
|
P3.26 is PWM1 output used to control the backlight intensity.
|
|
|
|
MISO0 and MOSI0 are join via a 1K ohm resistor so the LCD appears to be
|
|
write only.
|
|
|
|
STATUS: The LCD driver was never properly integrated. It was awkward
|
|
to use because it relied on a 9-bit SPI interface (the 9th bit being
|
|
the command/data bit which is normally a discrete input). All support
|
|
for the Nokia 6100 was removed on May 19, 2018. That obsoleted
|
|
driver can be viewed in the
|
|
nuttx/drivers/lcd and boards/arm/lpc17xx_40xx/olimex-lpc1766stk
|
|
directories of the Obsoleted repository.
|
|
|
|
The obsoleted driver attempted to created the 9th bit on-they-flay in the
|
|
data by expanding the 8-bit data to 16-bits with the 9th bit managed. I
|
|
no longer believe that is the correct technical approach. I now believe
|
|
that the best solution would be to provide custom management of the 9th
|
|
data bit inside of the low-level MCU driver, the LPC17 SPI driver in thisi
|
|
case, via a configuration option on the low-level driver.
|
|
|
|
LEDs
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
If CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is defined, then support for the LPC1766-STK LEDs will be
|
|
included in the build. See:
|
|
|
|
- boards/arm/lpc17xx_40xx/olimex-lpc1766stk/include/board.h - Defines LED
|
|
constants, types and prototypes the LED interface functions.
|
|
|
|
- boards/arm/lpc17xx_40xx/olimex-lpc1766stk/src/lpc1766stk.h - GPIO settings
|
|
for the LEDs.
|
|
|
|
- boards/arm/lpc17xx_40xx/olimex-lpc1766stk/src/up_leds.c - LED control logic.
|
|
|
|
The LPC1766-STK has two LEDs. If CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is defined, these LEDs will
|
|
be controlled as follows for NuttX debug functionality (where NC means "No Change").
|
|
Basically,
|
|
|
|
LED1:
|
|
- OFF means that the OS is still initializing. Initialization is very fast so
|
|
if you see this at all, it probably means that the system is hanging up
|
|
somewhere in the initialization phases.
|
|
- ON means that the OS completed initialization.
|
|
- Glowing means that the LPC17 is running in a reduced power mode: LED1 is
|
|
turned off when the processor enters sleep mode and back on when it wakesup
|
|
up.
|
|
|
|
LED2:
|
|
- ON/OFF toggles means that various events are happening.
|
|
- GLowing: LED2 is turned on and off on every interrupt so even timer interrupts
|
|
should cause LED2 to glow faintly in the normal case.
|
|
- Flashing. If the LED2 is flashing at about 2Hz, that means that a crash
|
|
has occurred. If CONFIG_ARCH_STACKDUMP=y, you will get some diagnostic
|
|
information on the console to help debug what happened.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: LED2 is controlled by a jumper labeled: ACC_IRQ/LED2. That jump must be
|
|
in the LED2 position in order to support LED2.
|
|
|
|
LED1 LED2 Meaning
|
|
------- -------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
OFF OFF Still initializing and there is no interrupt activity.
|
|
Initialization is very fast so if you see this, it probably means
|
|
that the system is hung up somewhere in the initialization phases.
|
|
OFF Glowing Still initializing (see above) but taking interrupts.
|
|
OFF ON This would mean that (1) initialization did not complete but the
|
|
software is hung, perhaps in an infinite loop, somewhere inside
|
|
of an interrupt handler.
|
|
OFF Flashing Ooops! We crashed before finishing initialization (or, perhaps
|
|
after initialization, during an interrupt while the LPC17xx/LPC40xx was
|
|
sleeping -- see below).
|
|
|
|
ON OFF The system has completed initialization, but is apparently not taking
|
|
any interrupts.
|
|
ON Glowing The OS successfully initialized and is taking interrupts (but, for
|
|
some reason, is never entering a reduced power mode -- perhaps the
|
|
CPU is very busy?).
|
|
ON ON This would mean that (1) the OS complete initialization, but (2)
|
|
the software is hung, perhaps in an infinite loop, somewhere inside
|
|
of a signal or interrupt handler.
|
|
Glowing Glowing This is also a normal healthy state: The OS successfully initialized,
|
|
is running in reduced power mode, but taking interrupts. The glow
|
|
is very faint and you may have to dim the lights to see that LEDs are
|
|
active at all! See note below.
|
|
ON Flashing Ooops! We crashed sometime after initialization.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: In glowing/glowing case, you get some good subjective information about the
|
|
behavior of your system by looking at the level of the LED glow (or better, by
|
|
connecting O-Scope and calculating the actual duty):
|
|
|
|
1. The intensity of the glow is determined by the duty of LED on/off toggle --
|
|
as the ON period becomes larger with respect the OFF period, the LED will
|
|
glow more brightly.
|
|
2. LED2 is turned ON when entering an interrupt and turned OFF when returning from
|
|
the interrupt. A brighter LED2 means that the system is spending more time in
|
|
interrupt handling.
|
|
3. LED1 is turned OFF just before the processor goes to sleep. The processor
|
|
sleeps until awakened by an interrupt. LED1 is turned back ON after the
|
|
processor is re-awakened -- actually after returning from the interrupt that
|
|
cause the processor to re-awaken (LED1 will be off during the execution of
|
|
that interrupt). So a brighter LED1 means that the processor is spending
|
|
less time sleeping.
|
|
|
|
When my LPC1766 sits IDLE -- doing absolutely nothing but processing timer interrupts --
|
|
I see the following:
|
|
|
|
1. LED1 glows dimly due to the timer interrupts.
|
|
2. But LED2 is even more dim! The LED ON time excludes the time processing the
|
|
interrupt that re-awakens the processing. So this tells me that the LPC1766 is
|
|
spending more time processing timer interrupts than doing any other kind of
|
|
processing. That, of course, makes sense if the system is truly idle and only
|
|
processing timer interrupts.
|
|
|
|
Serial Console
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
By default, all of these configurations use UART0 for the NuttX serial
|
|
console. UART0 corresponds to the DB-9 connector labelled "RS232_0". This
|
|
is a female connector and will require a normal male-to-female RS232 cable
|
|
to connect to a PC.
|
|
|
|
An alternate is UART1 which connects to the other DB-9 connector labeled
|
|
"RS232_1". UART1 is not enabled by default unless specifically noted
|
|
otherwise in the configuration description. A normal serial cable must be
|
|
used with the port as well.
|
|
|
|
By default serial console is configured for 57600 baud, 8-bit, 1 stop bit,
|
|
and no parity. Higher rates will probably require minor modification of
|
|
the UART initialization logic to use the fractional dividers.
|
|
|
|
Using OpenOCD and GDB with an FT2232 JTAG emulator
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Downloading OpenOCD
|
|
|
|
You can get information about OpenOCD here: http://openocd.berlios.de/web/
|
|
and you can download it from here. http://sourceforge.net/projects/openocd/files/.
|
|
To get the latest OpenOCD with more mature lpc17xx, you have to download
|
|
from the GIT archive.
|
|
|
|
git clone git://openocd.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openocd/openocd
|
|
|
|
At present, there is only the older, frozen 0.4.0 version. These, of course,
|
|
may have changed since I wrote this.
|
|
|
|
Building OpenOCD under Cygwin:
|
|
|
|
You can build OpenOCD for Windows using the Cygwin tools. Below are a
|
|
few notes that worked as of November 7, 2010. Things may have changed
|
|
by the time you read this, but perhaps the following will be helpful to
|
|
you:
|
|
|
|
1. Install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). My recommendation is to install
|
|
everything. There are many tools you will need and it is best just to
|
|
waste a little disk space and have everything you need. Everything will
|
|
require a couple of gigbytes of disk space.
|
|
|
|
2. Create a directory /home/OpenOCD.
|
|
|
|
3. Get the FT2232 driver from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm and
|
|
extract it into /home/OpenOCD/ftd2xx
|
|
|
|
$ pwd
|
|
/home/OpenOCD
|
|
$ ls
|
|
CDM20802 WHQL Certified.zip
|
|
$ mkdir ftd2xx
|
|
$ cd ftd2xx
|
|
$ unzip ..CDM20802\ WHQL\ Certified.zip
|
|
Archive: CDM20802 WHQL Certified.zip
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
3. Get the latest OpenOCD source
|
|
|
|
$ pwd
|
|
/home/OpenOCD
|
|
$ git clone git://openocd.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openocd/openocd
|
|
|
|
You will then have the source code in /home/OpenOCD/openocd
|
|
|
|
4. Build OpenOCD for the FT22322 interface
|
|
|
|
$ pwd
|
|
/home/OpenOCD/openocd
|
|
$ ./bootstrap
|
|
|
|
Jim is a tiny version of the Tcl scripting language. It is needed
|
|
by more recent versions of OpenOCD. Build libjim.a using the following
|
|
instructions:
|
|
|
|
$ git submodule init
|
|
$ git submodule update
|
|
$ cd jimtcl
|
|
$ ./configure --with-jim-ext=nvp
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
Configure OpenOCD:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-werror --disable-shared \
|
|
--enable-ft2232_ftd2xx --with-ftd2xx-win32-zipdir=/home/OpenOCD/ftd2xx \
|
|
LDFLAGS="-L/home/OpenOCD/openocd/jimtcl"
|
|
|
|
Then build OpenOCD and its HTML documentation:
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make html
|
|
|
|
The result of the first make will be the "openocd.exe" will be
|
|
created in the folder /home/openocd/src. The following command
|
|
will install OpenOCD to a standard location (/usr/local/bin)
|
|
using using this command:
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
Helper Scripts.
|
|
|
|
I have been using the Olimex ARM-USB-OCD JTAG debugger with the
|
|
LPC1766-STK (http://www.olimex.com). OpenOCD requires a configuration
|
|
file. I keep the one I used last here:
|
|
|
|
boards/arm/lpc17xx_40xx/olimex-lpc1766stk/tools/olimex.cfg
|
|
|
|
However, the "correct" configuration script to use with OpenOCD may
|
|
change as the features of OpenOCD evolve. So you should at least
|
|
compare that olimex.cfg file with configuration files in
|
|
/usr/local/share/openocd/scripts/target (or /home/OpenOCD/openocd/tcl/target).
|
|
As of this writing, there is no script for the lpc1766, but the
|
|
lpc1768 configuration can be used after changing the flash size to
|
|
256Kb. That is, change:
|
|
|
|
flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2000 0x0 0x80000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME ...
|
|
|
|
To:
|
|
|
|
flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2000 0x0 0x40000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME ...
|
|
|
|
There is also a script on the tools/ directory that I use to start
|
|
the OpenOCD daemon on my system called oocd.sh. That script will
|
|
probably require some modifications to work in another environment:
|
|
|
|
- Possibly the value of OPENOCD_PATH and TARGET_PATH
|
|
- It assumes that the correct script to use is the one at
|
|
boards/arm/lpc17xx_40xx/olimex-lpc1766stk/tools/olimex.cfg
|
|
|
|
Starting OpenOCD
|
|
|
|
Then you should be able to start the OpenOCD daemon like:
|
|
|
|
boards/arm/lpc17xx_40xx/olimex-lpc1766stk/tools/oocd.sh $PWD
|
|
|
|
If you add the path to oocd.sh to your PATH environment variable,
|
|
the command simplifies to just:
|
|
|
|
oocd.sh $PWD
|
|
|
|
Where it is assumed that you are executing oocd.sh from the top-level
|
|
directory where NuttX is installed. $PWD will be the path to the
|
|
top-level NuttX directory.
|
|
|
|
Connecting GDB
|
|
|
|
Once the OpenOCD daemon has been started, you can connect to it via
|
|
GDB using the following GDB command:
|
|
|
|
arm-nuttx-elf-gdb
|
|
(gdb) target remote localhost:3333
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The name of your GDB program may differ. For example, with the
|
|
ARM EABI toolchain, the ARM GDB would be called arm-none-eabi-gdb.
|
|
|
|
After starting GDB, you can load the NuttX ELF file:
|
|
|
|
(gdb) symbol-file nuttx
|
|
(gdb) load nuttx
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
1. Loading the symbol-file is only useful if you have built NuttX to
|
|
include debug symbols (by setting CONFIG_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=y in the
|
|
.config file).
|
|
2. I usually have to reset, halt, and 'load nuttx' a second time. For
|
|
some reason, the first time apparently does not fully program the
|
|
FLASH.
|
|
3. The MCU must be halted prior to loading code using 'mon reset'
|
|
as described below.
|
|
|
|
OpenOCD will support several special 'monitor' commands. These
|
|
GDB commands will send comments to the OpenOCD monitor. Here
|
|
are a couple that you will need to use:
|
|
|
|
(gdb) monitor reset
|
|
(gdb) monitor halt
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
1. The MCU must be halted using 'mon halt' prior to loading code.
|
|
2. Reset will restart the processor after loading code.
|
|
3. The 'monitor' command can be abbreviated as just 'mon'.

|
|
|
|
USB Host Configuration
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The NuttShell (NSH) configuration can be modified in order to support
|
|
USB host operations. To make these modifications, do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. First configure to build the NSH configuration from the top-level
|
|
NuttX directory:
|
|
|
|
./configure olimex-lpc1766stk/nsh
|
|
|
|
2. Modify the top-level .config file to enable USB host using:
|
|
|
|
make menuconfig
|
|
|
|
Make the following changes:
|
|
|
|
System Type -> LPC17xx/LPC40xx Peripheral Support
|
|
CONFIG_LPC17_40_USBHOST=y
|
|
|
|
Device Drivers-> USB Host Driver Support
|
|
CONFIG_USBHOST=y
|
|
CONFIG_USBHOST_ISOC_DISABLE=y
|
|
CONFIG_USBHOST_MSC=y
|
|
|
|
Library Routines
|
|
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE=y
|
|
|
|
When this change is made, NSH should be extended to support USB flash
|
|
devices. When a FLASH device is inserted, you should see a device
|
|
appear in the /dev (pseudo) directory. The device name should be
|
|
like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. The USB mass storage device, is present
|
|
it can be mounted from the NSH command line like:
|
|
|
|
ls /dev
|
|
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/flash
|
|
|
|
Files on the connect USB flash device should then be accessible under
|
|
the mountpoint /mnt/flash.
|
|
|

|
|
Common Configuration Notes
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Each Olimex LPC1766-STK configuration is maintained in a
|
|
sub-directory and can be selected as follow:
|
|
|
|
tools/configure.sh olimex-lpc1766stk:<subdir>
|
|
|
|
Where <subdir> is one of the sub-directories identified in the following
|
|
paragraphs.
|
|
|
|
Use configure.bat instead of configure.sh if you are building in a
|
|
Windows native environment.
|
|
|
|
2. These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool. To
|
|
change a configuration 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.
|
|
|
|
Configuration Sub-Directories
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
ftpc:
|
|
This is a simple FTP client shell used to exercise the capabilities
|
|
of the FTPC library (apps/netutils/ftpc). This example is configured
|
|
to that it will only work as a "built-in" program that can be run from
|
|
NSH when CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS is defined.
|
|
|
|
From NSH, the startup command sequence is then:
|
|
|
|
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /tmp # Mount the SD card at /tmp
|
|
nsh> cd /tmp # cd into the /tmp directory
|
|
nsh> ftpc xx.xx.xx.xx[:pp] # Start the FTP client
|
|
nfc> login <name> <password> # Log into the FTP server
|
|
nfc> help # See a list of FTP commands
|
|
|
|
where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address of the FTP server and pp is an
|
|
optional port number (default is the standard FTP port number 21).
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
1. Support for FAT long file names is built-in but can easily be
|
|
removed if you are concerned about Microsoft patent issues (see the
|
|
section "FAT Long File Names" in the top-level NOTICE file).
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_FS_FAT=y
|
|
CONFIG_FAT_LCNAMES=y <-- Long file name support
|
|
CONFIG_FAT_LFN=y
|
|
CONFIG_FAT_MAXFNAME=32
|
|
CONFIG_FS_NXFFS=n
|
|
CONFIG_FS_ROMFS=n
|
|
|
|
2. This configuration targets Linux using a generic ARM EABI toolchain:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_LINUX=y
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIL=y
|
|
|
|
But that can easily be re-configured.
|
|
|
|
2. You may also want to define the following in your configuration file.
|
|
Otherwise, you will have not feedback about what is going on:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES=y
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_FTPC=y
|
|
|
|
hidkbd:
|
|
This configuration directory supports a variant of an NSH configuration.
|
|
It is set up to perform the HID keyboard test at apps/examples/hidkbd.
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
1. Default platform/toolchain: This is how the build is configured by
|
|
be default. These options can easily be re-confured, however.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y : Linux
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_EABIL=y : Generic EABI toolchain
|
|
|
|
STATUS:
|
|
2018-10-07: Not all keyboards will connect successfully. I have not
|
|
looked into the details but it may be that those keyboards are not
|
|
compatible with the driver (which only accepts "boot" keyboards).
|
|
Also, when typing input into the HID keyboard, characters are often
|
|
missing and sometimes duplicated. This is like some issue with the
|
|
read logic of drivers/usbhost_hidkbc.c.
|
|
|
|
hidmouse:
|
|
This configuration directory supports a variant of an NSH configuration.
|
|
It is set up to perform the touchscreen test at apps/examples/touchscreen
|
|
using a USB HIB mouse instead a touchsceen device.
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
1. Default platform/toolchain: This is how the build is configured by
|
|
be default. These options can easily be re-confured, however.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Windows
|
|
CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : Cygwin environment on Windows
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIW=y : GNU EABI toolchain for Windows
|
|
|
|
2. The mouse is really useless with no display and no cursor. So this
|
|
configuration is only suited for low-level testing. It is also awkward
|
|
to use. Here are the steps:
|
|
|
|
- Remove the USB HID mouse and reset the board.
|
|
- When the NSH prompt comes up type 'tc'. That will fail, but it
|
|
will register the USB HID mouse class driver.
|
|
- Now, insert the USB HID mouse. The next time that you enter the
|
|
'tc' command, the mouse device at /dev/mouse0 should be found.
|
|
|
|
nettest:
|
|
This configuration directory may be used to enable networking using the
|
|
LPC17xx/LPC40xx's Ethernet controller. It uses apps/examples/nettest to exercise the
|
|
TCP/IP network.
|
|
|
|
nsh:
|
|
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at apps/examples/nsh. The
|
|
Configuration enables both the serial and telnet NSH interfaces.
|
|
Support for the board's SPI-based MicroSD card is included.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you start the program with no SD card inserted, there will be
|
|
a substantial delay. This is because there is no hardware support to sense
|
|
whether or not an SD card is inserted. As a result, the driver has to
|
|
go through many retries and timeouts before it finally decides that there
|
|
is not SD card in the slot.
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
1. Uses the older, OABI, buildroot toolchain. But that is easily
|
|
reconfigured:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : Buildroot toolchain
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_OABI_TOOLCHAIN=y : Older, OABI toolchain
|
|
|
|
2. This configuration supports a network. You may have to change
|
|
these settings for your network:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_IPADDR=0x0a000002 : IP address: 10.0.0.2
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_DRIPADDR=0x0a000001 : Gateway: 10.0.0.1
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_NETMASK=0xffffff00 : Netmask: 255.255.255.0
|
|
|
|
3. This configuration supports the SPI-based MMC/SD card slot.
|
|
FAT file system support for FAT long file names is built-in but
|
|
can easily be removed if you are concerned about Microsoft patent
|
|
issues (see the section "FAT Long File Names" in the top-level
|
|
NOTICE file).
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_FAT_LFN=y : Enables long file name support
|
|
|
|
slip-httpd:
|
|
This configuration is identical to the thttpd configuration except that
|
|
it uses the SLIP data link layer via a serial driver instead of the
|
|
Ethernet data link layer. The Ethernet driver is disabled; SLIP IP
|
|
packets are exchanged on UART1; UART0 is still the serial console.
|
|
|
|
1. Configure and build the slip-httpd configuration.
|
|
2. Connect to a Linux box (assuming /dev/ttyS0)
|
|
3. Reset on the target side and attach SLIP on the Linux side:
|
|
|
|
$ modprobe slip
|
|
$ slattach -L -p slip -s 57600 /dev/ttyS0 &
|
|
|
|
This should create an interface with a name like sl0, or sl1, etc.
|
|
Add -d to get debug output. This will show the interface name.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The -L option is included to suppress use of hardware flow
|
|
control. This is necessary because I haven't figured out how to
|
|
use the UART1 hardware flow control yet.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The Linux slip module hard-codes its MTU size to 296. So you
|
|
might as well set CONFIG_NET_ETH_PKTSIZE to 296 as well.
|
|
|
|
4. After turning over the line to the SLIP driver, you must configure
|
|
the network interface. Again, you do this using the standard
|
|
ifconfig and route commands. Assume that we have connected to a
|
|
host PC with address 192.168.0.101 from your target with address
|
|
10.0.0.2. On the Linux PC you would execute the following as root:
|
|
|
|
$ ifconfig sl0 10.0.0.1 pointopoint 10.0.0.2 up
|
|
$ route add 10.0.0.2 dev sl0
|
|
|
|
Assuming the SLIP is attached to device sl0.
|
|
|
|
5. For monitoring/debugging traffic:
|
|
|

NOTE: Only UART1 supports the hardware handshake. If hardware

handshake is not available, then you might try the slattach option
|

-L which is supposed to enable "3-wire operation."
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This configurat only works with VERBOSE debug disabled. For some
|
|
reason, certain debug statements hang(?).
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This example does not use UART1's hardware flow control. UART1
|
|
hardware flow control is partially implemented but does not behave as
|
|
expected. It needs a little more work.

zmodem:
|
|
This is an alternative NSH configuration that was used to test Zmodem
|
|
file transfers. It is similar to the standard NSH configuration but has
|
|
the following differences:
|
|
|
|
1. UART0 is still the NuttX serial console as with most of the other
|
|
configurations here. However, UART1 is also enabled for performing
|
|
the Zmodem transfers.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_LPC17XX_40XX_UART1=y
|
|
CONFIG_UART1_ISUART=y
|
|
CONFIG_UART1_RXBUFSIZE=1024
|
|
CONFIG_UART1_TXBUFSIZE=256
|
|
CONFIG_UART1_BAUD=2400
|
|
CONFIG_UART1_BITS=8
|
|
CONFIG_UART1_PARITY=0
|
|
CONFIG_UART1_2STOP=0
|
|
|
|
2. Hardware Flow Control
|
|
|
|
In principle, Zmodem transfers could be performed on the any serial
|
|
device, including the console device. However, only the LPC17xx/LPC40xx
|
|
UART1 supports hardware flow control which is required for Zmodem
|
|
transfers. Also, this configuration permits debug output on the
|
|
serial console while the transfer is in progress without interfering
|
|
with the file transfer.
|
|
|
|
In additional, a very low BAUD is selected to avoid other sources
|
|
of data overrun. This should be unnecessary if buffering and hardware
|
|
flow control are set up correctly.
|
|
|
|
However, in the LPC17xx/LPC40xx serial driver, hardware flow control only
|
|
protects the hardware RX FIFO: Data will not be lost in the hardware
|
|
FIFO but can still be lost when it is taken from the FIFO. We can
|
|
still overflow the serial driver's RX buffer even with hardware flow
|
|
control enabled! That is probably a bug. But the workaround solution
|
|
that I have used is to use lower data rates and a large serial driver
|
|
RX buffer.
|
|
|
|
Those measures should be unnecessary if buffering and hardware flow
|
|
control are set up and working correctly.
|
|
|
|
3. Buffering Notes:
|
|
|
|
RX Buffer Size
|
|
--------------
|
|
The Zmodem protocol supports a message that informs the file sender
|
|
of the maximum size of dat that you can buffer (ZRINIT). However, my
|
|
experience is that the Linux sz ignores this setting and always sends
|
|
file data at the maximum size (1024) no matter what size of buffer you
|
|
report. That is unfortunate because that, combined with the
|
|
possibilities of data overrun mean that you must use quite large
|
|
buffering for Zmodem file receipt to be reliable (none of these issues
|
|
effect sending of files).
|
|
|
|
Buffer Recommendations
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Based on the limitations of NuttX hardware flow control and of the
|
|
Linux sz behavior, I have been testing with the following configuration
|
|
(assuming UART1 is the Zmodem device):
|
|
|
|
a) This setting determines that maximum size of a data packet frame:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYSTEM_ZMODEM_PKTBUFSIZE=1024
|
|
|
|
b) Input Buffering. If the input buffering is set to a full frame,
|
|
then data overflow is less likely.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_UART1_RXBUFSIZE=1024
|
|
|
|
c) With a larger driver input buffer, the Zmodem receive I/O buffer
|
|
can be smaller:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYSTEM_ZMODEM_RCVBUFSIZE=256
|
|
|
|
d) Output buffering. Overrun cannot occur on output (on the NuttX side)
|
|
so there is no need to be so careful:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYSTEM_ZMODEM_SNDBUFSIZE=512
|
|
CONFIG_UART1_TXBUFSIZE=256
|
|
|
|
4. Support is included for the NuttX sz and rz commands. In order to
|
|
use these commands, you will need to mount the SD card so that you
|
|
will have a file system to transfer files in and out of:
|
|
|
|
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcds0 /mnt/sdcard
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You must use the mountpoint /mnt/sdcard because that is the
|
|
Zmodem sandbox specified in the configuration: All files received
|
|
from the remote host will be stored at /mnt/sdcard because of:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYSTEM_ZMODEM_MOUNTPOINT="/mnt/sdcard"
|
|
|
|
Hmmm.. I probably should set up an NSH script to just mount /dev/mmcsd0
|
|
at /mnt/sdcard each time the board boots.
|
|
|
|
4. Sending Files from the Target to the Linux Host PC
|
|
|
|
This program has been verified against the rzsz programs running on a
|
|
Linux PC. To send a file to the PC, first make sure that the serial
|
|
port is configured to work with the board:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0 2400 # Select 2400 BAUD
|
|
$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0 crtscts # Enables CTS/RTS handshaking *
|
|
$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0 raw # Puts the TTY in raw mode
|
|
$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0 # Show the TTY configuration
|
|
|
|
* Only is hardware flow control is enabled. It is *not* in this
|
|
default configuration.
|
|
|
|
Start rz on the Linux host:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo rz </dev/ttyS0 >/dev/ttyS0
|
|
|
|
You can add the rz -v option multiple times, each increases the level
|
|
of debug output.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The NuttX Zmodem does sends rz\n when it starts in compliance with
|
|
the Zmodem specification. On Linux this, however, seems to start some
|
|
other, incompatible version of rz. You need to start rz manually to
|
|
make sure that the correct version is selected. You can tell when this
|
|
evil rz/sz has inserted itself because you will see the '^' (0x5e)
|
|
character replacing the standard Zmodem ZDLE character (0x19) in the
|
|
binary data stream.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have the rz command on your Linux box, the package to
|
|
install rzsz (or possibly lrzsz).
|
|
|
|
Then on the target:
|
|
|
|
> sz -d /dev/ttyS1 <filename>
|
|
|
|
Where filename is the full path to the file to send (i.e., it begins
|
|
with the '/' character).
|
|
|
|
/dev/ttyS1 is configured to support Hardware flow control in order to
|
|
throttle therates of data transfer to fit within the allocated buffers.
|
|
Other devices may be used but if they do not support hardware flow
|
|
control, the transfers will fail
|
|
|
|
5. Receiving Files on the Target from the Linux Host PC
|
|
|
|
NOTE: There are issues with using the Linux sz command with the NuttX
|
|
rz command. See "STATUS" below. It is recommended that you use the
|
|
NuttX sz command on Linux as described in the next paragraph.
|
|
|
|
To send a file to the target, first make sure that the serial port on
|
|
the host is configured to work with the board:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0 2400 # Select 2400 BAUD
|
|
$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0 crtscts # Enables CTS/RTS handshaking *
|
|
$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0 raw # Puts the TTY in raw mode
|
|
$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0 # Show the TTY configuration
|
|
|
|
* Only is hardware flow control is enabled. It is *not* in this
|
|
default configuration.
|
|
|
|
Start rz on the on the target:
|
|
|
|
nsh> rz -d /dev/ttyS1
|
|
|
|
/dev/ttyS1 is configured to support Hardware flow control in order to
|
|
throttle therates of data transfer to fit within the allocated buffers.
|
|
Other devices may be used but if they do not support hardware flow
|
|
control, the transfers will fail
|
|
|
|
Then use the sz command on Linux to send the file to the target:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo sz <filename> [-l nnnn] </dev/ttyS0 >/dev/ttyS0
|
|
|
|
Where <filename> is the file that you want to send. If -l nnnn is not
|
|
specified, then there will likely be packet buffer overflow errors.
|
|
nnnn should be set to a value less than or equal to
|
|
CONFIG_SYSTEM_ZMODEM_PKTBUFSIZE
|
|
|
|
Where <filename> is the file that you want to send.
|
|
|
|
The resulting file will be found where you have configured the Zmodem
|
|
"sandbox" via CONFIG_SYSTEM_ZMODEM_MOUNTPOINT, in this case at
|
|
/mnt/sdcard.
|
|
|
|
You can add the az -v option multiple times, each increases the level
|
|
of debug output. If you want to capture the Linux rz output, then
|
|
re-direct stderr to a log file by adding 2>az.log to the end of the
|
|
rz command.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have the az command on your Linux box, the package to
|
|
install rzsz (or possibly lrzsz).
|
|
|
|
STATUS
|
|
2013-7-15: Testing against the Linux rz/sz commands.
|
|
|
|
I have been able to send large and small files with the target sz
|
|
command. I have been able to receive small files, but there are
|
|
problems receiving large files using the Linux sz command: The
|
|
Linux SZ does not obey the buffering limits and continues to send
|
|
data while rz is writing the previously received data to the file
|
|
and the serial driver's RX buffer is overrun by a few bytes while
|
|
the write is in progress. As a result, when it reads the next
|
|
buffer of data, a few bytes may be missing. The symptom of this
|
|
missing data is a CRC check failure.
|
|
|
|
Either (1) we need a more courteous host application, or (2) we
|
|
need to greatly improve the target side buffering capability!
|
|
|
|
We might get better behavior if we use the NuttX rz/sz commands
|
|
on the host side (see apps/system/zmodem/README.txt).
|
|
|
|
2013-7-16: More Testing against the Linux rz/sz commands.
|
|
|
|
I have verified that with debug off and at lower serial
|
|
BAUD (2400), the transfers of large files succeed without errors. I
|
|
do not consider this a "solution" to the problem. I also found that
|
|
the LPC17xx/LPC40xx hardware flow control causes strange hangs; Zmodem works
|
|
much better with hardware flow control disabled.
|
|
|
|
At this lower BAUD, RX buffer sizes could probably be reduced; Or
|
|
perhaps the BAUD could be increased. My thought, however, is that
|
|
tuning in such an unhealthy situation is not the approach: The
|
|
best thing to do would be to use the matching NuttX sz on the Linux
|
|
host side.
|
|
|
|
2013-7-16. More Testing against the NuttX rz/sz on Both Ends.
|
|
|
|
The NuttX sz/rz commands have been modified so that they can be
|
|
built and executed under Linux. In this case, there are no
|
|
transfer problems at all in either direction and with large or
|
|
small files. This configuration could probably run at much higher
|
|
serial speeds and with much smaller buffers (although that has not
|
|
been verified as of this writing).
|
|
|
|
CONCLUSION: You really do need proper hardware flow control to
|
|
use zmodem. That is not currently implemented in the LPC17xx/LPC40xx
|
|
family.
