STATUS/ISSUES
|
||
=============
|
||
|
||
- Since this port is a leverage of the SAMD20 Xplained port, some of the
|
||
STATUS/ISSUES in the SAMD20 Xplained README.txt may apply here as well.
|
||
|
||
- 2015-5-26: The basic port is running at 48MHz (using 32.768 XTAL input
|
||
and the digital frequency locked loop). The basic NuttShell (NSH)
|
||
configuration is working well with the serial console provided by
|
||
SERCOM4 as 115200 8N1.
|
||
|
||
- 2015-6-14: Added a DMAC driver. There is no way to verify it at present
|
||
and, hence, depends upon CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
|
||
|
||
Modules
|
||
=======
|
||
|
||
There are several I/O modules available that will work with the SAML21
|
||
Xplained Pro Starter Kit:
|
||
|
||
1) I/O1 - An MMC/SD card slot, PWM LED control, ADC light sensor, USART
|
||
loopback, TWI AT30TSE758 Temperature sensor.
|
||
2) OLED1 - An OLED plus 3 additional switches and 3 additional LEDs
|
||
3) PROTO1 - A prototyping board with logic on board (other than power-
|
||
related logic).
|
||
4) And others. See http://www.atmel.com/products/microcontrollers/avr/xplained.aspx
|
||
|
||
Some of these are discussed further below.
|
||
|
||
I/O1
|
||
----
|
||
The primary function of this module is to provide SD card support, but
|
||
the full list of modules features include:
|
||
|
||
- microSD card connector (SPI interface)
|
||
- PWM (LED control)
|
||
- ADC (light sensor)
|
||
- USART loopback
|
||
- TWI AT30TSE758 Temperature sensor with EEPROM
|
||
|
||
SPI is available on two of the SAML21 Xplained connectors, EXT1 and EXT2.
|
||
They mate with the I/O1 connector as indicated in this table.

circuited. SW_A is connected to the microSD_DETECT signal. To use this
|
||
as a card indicator remember to enable internal pullup in the target
|
||
device.

|
||
|
||
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 can be configured to support the various different
|
||
toolchain options. All testing has been conducted using the NuttX buildroot
|
||
toolchain. To use alternative toolchain, you simply need to add change of
|
||
the following configuration options to your .config (or defconfig) file:
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows
|
||
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux
|
||
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_ATOLLIC=y : Atollic toolchain for Windos
|
||
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_DEVKITARM=y : devkitARM under Windows
|
||
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin (default)
|
||
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIL=y : Generic GCC ARM EABI toolchain for Linux
|
||
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIW=y : Generic GCC ARM EABI toolchain for Windows
|
||
|
||
NOTE about Windows native toolchains
|
||
------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
There are basically three kinds of GCC toolchains that can be used:
|
||
|
||
1. A Linux native toolchain in a Linux environment,
|
||
2. The buildroot Cygwin tool chain built in the Cygwin environment,
|
||
3. A Windows native toolchain.
|
||
|
||
There are several limitations to using a Windows based toolchain (#3) 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.
|
||
|
||
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/sam34,
|
||
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/sam34/sam_vectors.S. You may need to build NuttX
|
||
one time from the Cygwin command line in order to obtain the pre-built
|
||
startup object needed by an IDE.
|
||
|
||
NuttX EABI "buildroot" Toolchain
|
||
================================
|
||
|
||
A GNU GCC-based toolchain is assumed. The PATH environment variable should
|
||
be modified to point to the correct path to the Cortex-M0 GCC toolchain (if
|
||
different from the default in your PATH variable).
|
||
|
||
If you have no Cortex-M0 toolchain, one can be downloaded from the NuttX
|
||
Bitbucket download site (https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/buildroot/downloads/).
|
||
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 saml21-xplained/<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/cortexm0-eabi-defconfig-4.6.3 .config
|
||
|
||
6. make oldconfig
|
||
|
||
7. make
|
||
|
||
8. Make sure 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-M0 toolchain for Cygwin under Windows.
|
||
|
||
LEDs and Buttons
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
LED
|
||
---
|
||
There is one yellow LED available on the SAML21 Xplained Pro board that
|
||
can be turned on and off. The LED can be activated by driving the connected
|
||
PB10 I/O line to GND.
|
||
|
||
When CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is defined in the NuttX configuration, NuttX will
|
||
control the LED as follows:
|
||
|
||
SYMBOL Meaning LED0
|
||
------------------- ----------------------- ------
|
||
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started OFF
|
||
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF
|
||
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled OFF
|
||
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created ON
|
||
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt N/C
|
||
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler N/C
|
||
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed N/C
|
||
LED_PANIC The system has crashed FLASH
|
||
|
||
Thus is LED is statically on, NuttX has successfully booted and is,
|
||
apparently, running normally. If LED is flashing at approximately
|
||
2Hz, then a fatal error has been detected and the system has halted.
|
||
|
||
Button
|
||
------
|
||
SAM L21 Xplained Pro contains one mechanical button on PA02 that can be
|
||
controlled by software. When a button is pressed it will drive the I/O
|
||
line to GND. Note: There is no pull-up resistor connected to the generic
|
||
user button. Remember to enable the internal pull-up in the SAM L21 to
|
||
use the button.

|
||
-------------
|
||
There are options available in the NuttX configuration to select which
|
||
connector SERCOM4 is on: SAML21_XPLAINED_USART4_EXTn, where n=1, 2, or 3.
|
||
|
||
If you have a TTL to RS-232 converter then this is the most convenient
|
||
serial console to use (because you don't lose the console device each time
|
||
you lose the USB connection). It is the default in all of these
|
||
configurations. An option is to use the virtual COM port.
|
||
|
||
Virtual COM Port
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
The SAML21 Xplained Pro contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG) that can be
|
||
used to program and debug the ATSAML21J18A using Serial Wire Debug (SWD).
|
||
The Embedded debugger also include a Virtual COM port interface over
|
||
SERCOM3. Virtual COM port connections:
|
||
|
||
PA22 SERCOM3 / USART TXD
|
||
PA23 SERCOM3 / USART RXD
|
||
|
||
Atmel Studio 6.1
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
NOTE: These instructions are old. The SAML21 requires Atmel Studio 6.2.
|
||
They may still prove useful to you, however.
|
||
|
||
Loading Code into FLASH:
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
Tools menus: Tools -> Device Programming.
|
||
|
||
Debugging the NuttX Object File
|
||
-------------------------------
|
||
|
||
1) Rename object file from nutt to nuttx.elf. That is an extension that
|
||
will be recognized by the file menu.
|
||
|
||
2) File menu: File -> Open -> Open object file for debugging
|
||
|
||
- Select nuttx.elf object file
|
||
- Select AT91SAML21J18
|
||
- Select files for symbols as desired
|
||
- Select debugger
|
||
|
||
3) Debug menu: Debug -> Start debugging and break
|
||
|
||
- This will reload the nuttx.elf file into FLASH
|
||
|
||
JTAG
|
||
====
|
||
|
||
I did all of the debug of the SAML21 Xplained using a Segger J-Link
|
||
connected to the micro JTAG connector on board the SAML21 Xplained.
|
||
I used an Olimex ARM-JTAG 20-10 Adapter to connect the J-Link to
|
||
the SAML21 Xplained.
|
||
|
||
SAML21 Xplained Pro-specific Configuration Options
|
||
==================================================
|
||
|
||

|
||
chip:
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_SAML
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_SAML21
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_ATSAML21J18
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
|
||
hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.

CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_SAML21_XPLAINED=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_RAM_SIZE=0x00010000 (64KB)
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_RAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
|

|
||
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LEDs to show state. Unique to boards that
|
||
have LEDs
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK - This architecture supports an interrupt

|
||
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.

Configurations
|
||
==============
|
||
|
||
Each SAML21 Xplained Pro configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
|
||
can be selected as follow:
|
||
|
||
cd tools
|
||
./configure.sh saml21-xplained/<subdir>
|
||
cd -
|
||
|
||
Before building, make sure that the PATH environmental variable includes the
|
||
correct path to the directory than holds your toolchain binaries.
|
||
|
||
And then build NuttX by simply typing the following. At the conclusion of
|
||
the make, the nuttx binary will reside in an ELF file called, simply, nuttx.
|
||
|
||
make
|
||
|
||
The <subdir> that is provided above as an argument to the tools/configure.sh
|
||
must be is one of the following.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool. To
|
||
change any of these 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.
|
||
|
||
NOTES:
|
||
|
||
1. These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool. To
|
||
change any of these 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.
|
||
|
||
2. Unless stated otherwise, all configurations generate console
|
||
output of on SERCOM4 which is available on EXT1 (see the section
|
||
"Serial Consoles" above). The SERCOM1 on EXT2 or EXT3 or the
|
||
virtual COM port on SERCOME could be used, instead, by
|
||
reconfiguring to use SERCOM1 or SERCOM3 instead of SERCOM4:
|
||
|
||
System Type -> SAMD/L Peripheral Support
|
||
CONFIG_SAMDL_SERCOM1=y : Enable one or both
|
||
CONFIG_SAMDL_SERCOM3=y
|
||
CONFIG_SAMDL_SERCOM4=n
|
||
|
||
Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> Serial Console
|
||
CONFIG_USART1_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y : Select only one for the console
|
||
CONFIG_USART3_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y : Select only one for the console
|
||
CONFIG_USART4_SERIAL_CONSOLE=n
|
||
|
||
Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> SERCOMn Configuration
|
||
where n=1 or 3:
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_USARTn_2STOP=0
|
||
CONFIG_USARTn_BAUD=115200
|
||
CONFIG_USARTn_BITS=8
|
||
CONFIG_USARTn_PARITY=0
|
||
CONFIG_USARTn_RXBUFSIZE=256
|
||
CONFIG_USARTn_TXBUFSIZE=256
|
||
|
||
3. Unless otherwise stated, the configurations are setup for
|
||
Cygwin under Windows:
|
||
|
||
Build Setup:
|
||
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Windows Host
|
||
CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : Cygwin environment on windoes
|
||
|
||
4. These configurations use the CodeSourcery toolchain. But
|
||
that is easily reconfigured:
|
||
|
||
System Type -> Toolchain:
|
||
CONFIG_ARMV6M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y
|
||
|
||
Any re-configuration should be done before making NuttX or else the
|
||
subsequent 'make' will fail. If you have already attempted building
|
||
NuttX then you will have to 1) 'make distclean' to remove the old
|
||
configuration, 2) 'cd tools; ./configure.sh sam3u-ek/ksnh' to start
|
||
with a fresh configuration, and 3) perform the configuration changes
|
||
above.
|
||
|
||
Also, make sure that your PATH variable has the new path to your
|
||
Atmel tools. Try 'which arm-none-eabi-gcc' to make sure that you
|
||
are selecting the right tool.
|
||
|
||
See also the "NOTE about Windows native toolchains" in the section
|
||
called "GNU Toolchain Options" above.
|
||
|
||
Configuration sub-directories
|
||
-----------------------------
|
||
|
||
nsh:
|
||
This configuration directory will built the NuttShell. See NOTES above
|
||
and below:
|
||
|
||
NOTES:
|
||
|
||
1. This configuration is set up to build on Windows using the Cygwin
|
||
environment using the CodeSourcery toolchain. This can be easily
|
||
changed as described above under "Configurations."
|
||
|
||
2. By default, this configuration provides a serial console on SERCOM4
|
||
at 115200 8N1 via EXT1:
|
||
|
||
PIN EXT1 GPIO Function
|
||
---- ---- ------------------
|
||
13 PB09 SERCOM4 / USART RX
|
||
14 PB08 SERCOM4 / USART TX
|
||
19 GND N/A
|
||
20 VCC N/A
|
||
|
||
If you would prefer to use the EDBG serial COM port or would prefer
|
||
to use SERCOM4 on EXT1 or EXT2, you will need to reconfigure the
|
||
SERCOM as described under "Configurations". See also the section
|
||
entitled "Serial Consoles" above.
|
||
|
||
3. NOTE: If you get a compilation error like:
|
||
|
||
libxx_new.cxx:74:40: error: 'operator new' takes type 'size_t'
|
||
('unsigned int') as first parameter [-fper
|
||
|
||
Sometimes NuttX and your toolchain will disagree on the underlying
|
||
type of size_t; sometimes it is an 'unsigned int' and sometimes it is
|
||
an 'unsigned long int'. If this error occurs, then you may need to
|
||
toggle the value of CONFIG_CXX_NEWLONG.
|
||
|
||
4. WARNING: This info comes from the SAMD20 Xplained README. I have
|
||
not tried the I/O1 module on the SAML21!
|
||
|
||
If the I/O1 module is connected to the SAML21 Xplained Pro, then
|
||
support for the SD card slot can be enabled by making the following
|
||
changes to the configuration. These changes assume that the I/O1
|
||
modules is connected in EXT1. Most of the modifications necessary
|
||
to work with the I/O1 in a different connector are obvious.. except
|
||
for the selection of SERCOM SPI support:
|
||
|
||
EXT1: SPI is provided through SERCOM0
|
||
EXT2: SPI is provided through SERCOM1
|
||
EXT3: SPI is provided through SERCOM5
|

|
||
|
||
NOTE: If you enable the I/O1 this configuration with SERCOM4 as the
|
||
console and with the I/O1 module in EXT1, you *must* remove USART
|
||
jumper. Otherwise, you have lookback on SERCOM4 and NSH will *not*
|
||
behave very well (since its outgoing prompts also appear as incoming
|
||
commands).
|
||
|
||
STATUS: As of 2013-6-18, this configuration appears completely
|
||
functional. Testing, however, has been very light. Example:

5. If the OLED1 module is connected to the SAML21 Xplained Pro, then
|
||
support for the OLED display can be enabled by making the following

CONFIG_SAML21_XPLAINED_OLED1MODULE_EXT2=y : OLED1 modules is in EXT2
|
||
|
||
The NX graphics subsystem also needs to be configured:
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_NX=y : Enable graphics support
|
||
CONFIG_NX_LCDDRIVER=y : Using an LCD driver
|
||
CONFIG_NX_NPLANES=1 : With a single color plane
|
||
CONFIG_NX_WRITEONLY=n : You can read from the LCD (see below*)

CONFIG_NXFONTS_CHARBITS=7 : 7-bit fonts
|
||
CONFIG_NXFONT_SANS17X23B=y : Pick a font (any that will fit)
|
||
|
||
* The hardware is write only, but the driver maintains a frame buffer
|
||
to support read and read-write-modiry operations on the LCD.
|
||
Reading from the frame buffer is, however, untested.
|
||
|
||
Then, in order to use the OLED, you will need to build some kind of
|
||
graphics application or use one of the NuttX graphics examples.
|
||
Here, for example, is the setup for the graphic "Hello, World!"
|
||
example:
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO=y : Enables the example
|
||
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_DEFAULT_COLORS=y : Use default colors (see below *)
|
||
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_DEFAULT_FONT=y : Use the default font
|
||
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_BPP=1 : One bit per pixel
|
||
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_EXTERNINIT=y : Special initialization is required.
|
||
|
||
* The OLED is monochrome so the only "colors" are black and white.
|
||
The default "colors" will give you while text on a black background.
|
||
You can override the faults it you want black text on a while background.
|
||
|
