Ethernet-Bootloader
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Here are some notes about using the Luminary Ethernet boot-loader built
|
|
into the Eagle-100 board.
|
|
|
|
Built-In Application:
|
|
|
|
- The board has no fixed IP address but uses DHCP to get an address.
|
|
I used a D-link router; I can use a web browser to surf to the D-link
|
|
web page to get the address assigned by
|
|
|
|
- Then you can use this IP address in your browser to surf to the Eagle-100
|
|
board. It presents several interesting pages -- the most important is
|
|
the page called "Firmware Update". That page includes instructions on
|
|
how to download code to the Eagle-100.
|
|
|
|
- After you burn the first program, you lose this application. Then you
|
|
will probably be better off connected directly to the Eagle-100 board
|
|
or through a switch (The router caused problems for me during downloads).
|
|
|
|
Using the Ethernet Bootloader:
|
|
|
|
- You will need the "LM Flash Programmer application". You can get that
|
|
program from the Luminary web site. There is a link on the LM3S6918 page.
|
|
|
|
- Is there any documentation for using the bootloader? Yes and No: There
|
|
is an application note covering the bootloader on the Luminary site, but
|
|
it is not very informative. The Eagle100 User's Manual has the best
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
- Are there any special things I have to do in my code, other than setting
|
|
the origin to 0x0000:2000 (APP_START_ADDRESS)? No. The bootloader assumes
|
|
that you have a vector table at that address . The bootloader does the
|
|
following each time it boots (after you have downloaded the first valid
|
|
application):
|
|
|
|
o The bootloader sets the vector table register to the APP_START_ADDRESS,
|
|
o It sets the stack pointer to the address at APP_START_ADDRESS, and then
|
|
o Jumps to the address at APP_START_ADDRESS+4.
|
|
|
|
- You can force the bootloader to skip starting the application and stay
|
|
in the update mode. You will need to do this in order to download a new
|
|
application. You force the update mode by holding the user button on the
|
|
Eagle-100 board while resetting the board. The user button is GPIOA, pin 6
|
|
(call FORCED_UPDATE_PIN in the bootloader code).
|
|
|
|
- Note 1: I had to remove my D-Link router from the configuration in order
|
|
to use the LM Flash Programmer (the Bootloader issues BOOTP requests to
|
|
communicate with the LM Flash Programmer, my router was responding to
|
|
these BOOTP requests and hosing the download). It is safer to connect
|
|
via a switch or via an Ethernet switch.
|
|
|
|
- Note 2: You don't need the router's DHCPD server in the download
|
|
configuration; the Luminary Flash Programmer has the capability of
|
|
temporarily assigning the IP address to the Eagle-100 via BOOTP.

Eagle100-specific Configuration Options
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK - This architecture supports an interrupt

CONFIG_ARCH_STACKDUMP - Do stack dumps after assertions
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LEDs to show state. Unique to board architecture.
|
|
|
|
There are configurations for disabling support for interrupts GPIO ports.
|
|
GPIOH and GPIOJ must be disabled because they do not exist on the LM3S6918.
|
|
Additional interrupt support can be disabled if desired to reduce memory
|
|
footprint.

console and ttys0 (default is the UART0).
|
|
CONFIG_UARTn_RXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered as received.

|
|
emptying the Rx FIFO. If the SPI frequency is high and this

Common Configuration Notes
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Each Eagle-100 configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
|
|
can be selected as follow:
|
|
|
|
tools/configure.sh eagle100:<subdir>
|
|
|
|
Where <subdir> is one of the configuration sub-directories described in
|
|
the following paragraph.
|
|
|
|
2. These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool. To
|
|
change a configurations 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.

|
nettest:
|
|
This configuration directory may be used to enable networking using the

By default, all of these examples are built to be used with the Luminary
