Using OpenOCD and GDB with ICDI
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Building OpenOCD under Cygwin:
|
|
|
|
Refer to configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/README.txt
|
|
|
|
Installing OpenOCD in Linux:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install openocd
|
|
|
|
You can also build openocd from its source:
|
|
|
|
git clone http://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code openocd
|
|
cd openocd
|
|
|
|
Helper Scripts:
|
|
|
|
I have been using the on-board In-Circuit Debug Interface (ICDI) interface.
|
|
OpenOCD requires a configuration file. I keep the one I used last here:
|
|
|
|
configs/dk-tm4c129x/tools/dk-tm4c129x.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 dk-tm4c129x.cfg file with configuration files in
|
|
/usr/share/openocd/scripts. As of this writing, the configuration
|
|
files of interest were:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/share/openocd/scripts/board/dk-tm4c129x.cfg
|
|
/usr/local/share/openocd/scripts/interface/ti-icdi.cfg
|
|
/usr/local/share/openocd/scripts/target/stellaris_icdi.cfg
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
configs/dk-tm4c129x/tools/dk-tm4c129x.cfg
|
|
|
|
Starting OpenOCD
|
|
|
|
If you are in the top-level NuttX build directlory then you should
|
|
be able to start the OpenOCD daemon like:
|
|
|
|
oocd.sh $PWD
|
|
|
|
The relative path to the oocd.sh script is configs/dk-tm4c129x/tools,
|
|
but that should have been added to your PATH variable when you sourced
|
|
the setenv.sh script.
|
|
|
|
Note that OpenOCD needs to be run with administrator privileges in
|
|
some environments (sudo).
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
CodeSourcery 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) monitor reset
|
|
(gdb) monitor halt
|
|
(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. 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'.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
GNU Toolchain Options
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The NuttX make system has been modified to support the following different
|
|
toolchain options.
|
|
|
|
1. The NuttX buildroot Toolchain (default, see below),
|
|
2. The CodeSourcery GNU toolchain,
|
|
3. The devkitARM GNU toolchain,
|
|
4. The Atollic toolchain, or
|
|
5. The Code Red toolchain
|
|
|
|
All testing has been conducted using the Buildroot toolchain for Cygwin/Linux.
|
|
To use a different toolchain, you simply need to add one of the following
|
|
configuration options to your .config (or defconfig) file:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin (default)
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows or Cygwin
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_DEVKITARM=y : The Atollic toolchain under Windows or Cygwin
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODEREDW=y : The Code Red toolchain under Windows
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODEREDL=y : The Code Red toolchain under Linux
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_OABI_TOOLCHAIN=y : If you use an older, OABI buildroot toolchain
|
|
|
|
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 Code Red (for Windows)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mknulldeps.sh
|
|
|
|
NOTE 1: The CodeSourcery toolchain (2009q1) did not work with default optimization
|
|
level of -Os (See Make.defs). It will work with -O0, -O1, or -O2, but not with
|
|
-Os. I have not seen this problem with current toolchains.
|
|
|
|
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 paths: You will need include/, arch/arm/src/tiva,
|
|
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/tiva/tiva_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-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/projects/nuttx/files/buildroot/).
|
|
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 dk-tm4c129x/<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-M3 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 SourceForge download site
|
|
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/nuttx/files/).
|
|
|
|
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 dk-tm4c129x/<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.
|
|
|
|
Buttons and LEDs
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Buttons
|
|
-------
|
|
There are three push buttons on the board.
|
|
|
|
--- ------------ -----------------
|
|
Pin Pin Function Jumper
|
|
--- ------------ -----------------
|
|
PP1 Select SW4 J37 pins 1 and 2
|
|
PN3 Up SW2 J37 pins 3 and 4
|
|
PE5 Down SW3 J37 pins 5 and 6
|
|
--- ------------ -----------------
|
|
|
|
LEDs
|
|
----
|
|
The development board has one tri-color user LED.
|
|
|
|
--- ------------ -----------------
|
|
Pin Pin Function Jumper
|
|
--- ------------ -----------------
|
|
PN5 Red LED J36 pins 1 and 2
|
|
PQ4 Blue LED J36 pins 3 and 4
|
|
PQ7 Green LED J36 pins 5 and 6
|
|
--- ------------ -----------------
|
|
|
|
If CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is not defined, this LED is not used by the NuttX
|
|
logic. APIs are provided to support application control of the LED in
|
|
that case (in include/board.h and src/tm4c_userleds.c).
|
|
|
|
If CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is defined then the usage of the LEDs by Nuttx is
|
|
defined in include/board.h and src/tm4c_autoleds.c. The LEDs are used to
|
|
encode OS-related events as follows:
|
|
|
|
SYMBOL Meaning LED state
|
|
------------------- ----------------------- -------- --------
|
|
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started Blue
|
|
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated (No change)
|
|
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled (No change)
|
|
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created Green
|
|
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 Blinking OFF/RED
|
|
LED_IDLE MCU is is sleep mode (Not used)
|
|
|
|
Thus if the LED is GREEN then NuttX has successfully booted and is,
|
|
apparently, running normally. If the LED is flashing OFF/RED at
|
|
approximately 2Hz, then a fatal error has been detected and the
|
|
system has halted.
|
|
|
|
Serial Console
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
By default, all configurations use UART0 which connects to the USB VCOM
|
|
on the DEBUG port on the TM4C123 ICDI interface:
|
|
|
|
UART0 RX - PA.0
|
|
UART0 TX - PA.1
|
|
|
|
However, if you use an external RS232 driver, then other options are
|
|
available. If your serial terminal loses connection with the USB serial
|
|
port each time you power cycle the board, the VCOM option can be very
|
|
painful.
|
|
|
|
UART0 TTL level signals are also available at J3 (also at J1):
|
|
|
|
DEBUG_TX - J3, pin 13. Labelled PA1
|
|
DEBUG_RX - J3, pin 15. Labelled PA0
|
|
|
|
Remove the jumper between pins 13-14 and 15-16 to disconnect UART0 from
|
|
the TM4C123 ICDI chip; Connect your external RS-232 driver at pins 13
|
|
and 16. 5v, 3.3v, AND GND are arvailable nearby at J10.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
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 SAM4E-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=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 SAM4E-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:

|
|
|
|
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 because additional time will be required to fail with timeout
|
|
errors.
|
|
|
|
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 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. See the SAMA5 configurations for a description of what it would
|
|
take to incorporate the network monitor feature.

DK-TM4129X 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="tiva"
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code to identify the exact
|
|
chip:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_TM4C129XNC
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
|
|
hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=dk-tm4c129x (for the DK-TM4129X)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_DK_TM4C129X
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_LOOPSPERMSEC - Must be calibrated for correct operation
|
|
of delay loops
|
|
|
|
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=0x00008000 (32Kb)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_RAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_RAM_START=0x20000000
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
There are configurations for disabling support for interrupts GPIO ports.
|
|
Only GPIOP and GPIOQ pins can be used as interrupting sources on the

|
TM4C129X. Additional interrupt support can be disabled if desired to
|
|
reduce memory footprint.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_TIVA_GPIOP_IRQS=y
|
|
CONFIG_TIVA_GPIOQ_IRQS=y
|
|
|
|
TM4C129X specific device driver settings

Poll-waiting is recommended if the interrupt rate would be to
|
|
high in the interrupt driven case.
|
|
CONFIG_SSI_TXLIMIT - Write this many words to the Tx FIFO before
|
|
emptying the Rx FIFO. If the SPI frequency is high and this
|
|
value is large, then larger values of this setting may cause
|
|
Rx FIFO overrun errors. Default: half of the Tx FIFO size (4).
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_TIVA_ETHERNET - This must be set (along with CONFIG_NET)
|
|
to build the Tiva Ethernet driver
|

Configurations
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Each DK-TM4129X configuration is maintained in a
|
|
sub-directory and can be selected as follow:
|
|
|
|
cd tools
|
|
./configure.sh dk-tm4c129x/<subdir>
|
|
cd -
|
|
. ./setenv.sh
|
|
|
|
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
|
|
|
|
nsh:
|
|
---
|
|
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at apps/examples/nsh. The
|
|
configuration enables the serial VCOM interfaces on UART0. Support for
|
|
builtin applications is enabled, but in the base configuration no
|
|
builtin applications are selected.
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. To
|
|
change this configuration 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. By default, this configuration uses the CodeSourcery toolchain
|
|
for Windows and builds under Cygwin (or probably MSYS). That
|
|
can easily be reconfigured, of course.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y : Linux (Cygwin under Windows okay too).
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : Buildroot (arm-nuttx-elf-gcc)
|
|
CONFIG_RAW_BINARY=y : Output formats: ELF and raw binary
|
|
|
|
3. Default stack sizes are large and should really be tuned to reduce
|
|
the RAM footprint:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SCHED_HPWORKSTACKSIZE=2048
|
|
CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE=1024
|
|
CONFIG_USERMAIN_STACKSIZE=2048
|
|
CONFIG_PTHREAD_STACK_DEFAULT=2048
|
|
CONFIG_POSIX_SPAWN_PROXY_STACKSIZE=1024
|
|
CONFIG_TASK_SPAWN_DEFAULT_STACKSIZE=2048
|
|
CONFIG_BUILTIN_PROXY_STACKSIZE=1024
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_TELNETD_DAEMONSTACKSIZE=2048
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_TELNETD_CLIENTSTACKSIZE=2048
|
|
|
|
4. This configuration has the network enabled by default. This can be
|
|
easily disabled or reconfigured (See see the network related
|
|
configuration settings above in the section entitled "Networking").
|
|
|
|
NOTE: In boot-up sequence is very simple in this example; all
|
|
initialization is done sequentially (vs. in parallel) and so you will
|
|
not see the NSH prompt until all initialization is complete. The
|
|
network bring-up in particular will add some delay before the NSH
|
|
prompt appears. 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 because additional time will be required to fail with
|
|
timeout errors. This delay can be eliminated, however, if you enable
|
|
an NSH initialization option as described above in a paragraph
|
|
entitled, "Network Initialization Thread."
