Buttons and LEDs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Buttons
-------
The SAM4S Xplained has two mechanical buttons. One button is the RESET button
connected to the SAM4S reset line and the other is a generic user configurable
button labeled BP2 and connected to GPIO PA5. When a button is pressed it
will drive the I/O line to GND.
LEDs
----
There is one LED on board the SAM4S Xplained board Pro that can be
controlled by software in the SAM4S:
LED GPIO
---------------- -----
LED0 Yellow LED PC23
It can be illuminated by driving the GPIO output to ground (low).
If CONFIG_ARCH_LEDs is defined, then NuttX will control the LED on
board the SAM4S Xplained Pro, otherwise it can controlled by the user
with functions defined into boards file src/sam_userleds.c.
The user LED is 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/sam_leds.c. The LEDs are used to encode OS-
related events as follows:
SYMBOL Meaning LED state
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 No change
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler No change
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed No change
LED_PANIC The system has crashed OFF
LED_IDLE MCU is is sleep mode Not used
Thus if LED0 is statically on, NuttX has successfully booted and is,
apparently, running normally. If LED0 is flashing at approximately
2Hz, then a fatal error has been detected and the system has halted.
Serial Consoles
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UART1
-----
If you have a TTL to RS-232 converter then this is the most convenient
serial console to use. UART1 is the default in all of these
configurations.
UART1 RXD PB2 J1 pin 3 J4 pin 3
UART1 TXD PB3 J1 pin 4 J4 pin 4
GND J1 pin 9 J4 pin 9
Vdd J1 pin 10 J4 pin 10
USART1
------
USART1 is another option:
USART1 RXD PA21 J2 pin 6
USART1 TXD PA22 J2 pin 1
GND J2 pin 9
Vdd J2 pin 10
Virtual COM Port
----------------
Yet another option is to use UART0 and the virtual COM port. This
option may be more convenient for long term development, but was
painful to use during board bring-up.
The SAM4S Xplained contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG) that can be
used to program and debug the ATSAM4S16C using Serial Wire Debug (SWD).
The Embedded debugger also include a Virtual Com port interface over
USART1. Virtual COM port connections:

Configurations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Each SAM4S Xplained configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:
tools/configure.shsam4s-xplained-pro:<subdir>
Before building, make sure the PATH environment 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.
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 on UART1 which is available on J1 or J4 (see the
section "Serial Consoles" above). USART1 or the virtual COM
port on UART0 are options. The virtual COM port could
be used, for example, by reconfiguring to use UART0 like:
System Type -> AT91SAM3/4 Peripheral Support
CONFIG_SAM_UART0=y
CONFIG_SAM_UART1=n
Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> Serial Console
CONFIG_UART0_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> UART0 Configuration
CONFIG_UART0_2STOP=0
CONFIG_UART0_BAUD=115200
CONFIG_UART0_BITS=8
CONFIG_UART0_PARITY=0
CONFIG_UART0_RXBUFSIZE=256
CONFIG_UART0_TXBUFSIZE=256
3. Unless otherwise stated, the configurations are setup for
Linux (or any other POSIX environment like Cygwin under Windows):
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y : Linux or other POSIX environment
4. These configurations use the older, OABI, buildroot toolchain. But
that is easily reconfigured:
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : Buildroot toolchain
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_OABI=y : Older, OABI toolchain
If you want to use the Atmel GCC toolchain, here are the steps to
do so:
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Windows
CONFIG_HOST_CYGWIN=y : Using Cygwin or other POSIX environment
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABI=y : General GCC EABI toolchain under windows
This 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) '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 call
"GNU Toolchain Options" above.
Configuration sub-directories
-----------------------------
nsh:
This configuration directory will built the NuttShell. See NOTES above.
NOTES:
1. The configuration configuration can be modified to include support
for the on-board SRAM (1MB).
System Type -> External Memory Configuration
CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0=y : Select SRAM on CS0
CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0SIZE=1048576 : Size=1MB
Now what are you going to do with the SRAM. There are two choices:
a) To enable the NuttX RAM test that may be used to verify the
external SRAM:
System Type -> External Memory Configuration
CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0HEAP=n : Don't add to heap
Application Configuration -> System NSH Add-Ons
CONFIG_SYSTEM_RAMTEST=y : Enable the RAM test built-in
In this configuration, the SDRAM is not added to heap and so is
not excessible to the applications. So the RAM test can be
freely executed against the SRAM memory beginning at address
0x6000:0000 (CS0).
nsh> ramtest -h
Usage: <noname> [-w|h|b] <hex-address> <decimal-size>
Where:
<hex-address> starting address of the test.
<decimal-size> number of memory locations (in bytes).
-w Sets the width of a memory location to 32-bits.
-h Sets the width of a memory location to 16-bits (default).
-b Sets the width of a memory location to 8-bits.
To test the entire external SRAM:
nsh> ramtest 60000000 1048576
RAMTest: Marching ones: 60000000 1048576
RAMTest: Marching zeroes: 60000000 1048576
RAMTest: Pattern test: 60000000 1048576 55555555 aaaaaaaa
RAMTest: Pattern test: 60000000 1048576 66666666 99999999
RAMTest: Pattern test: 60000000 1048576 33333333 cccccccc
RAMTest: Address-in-address test: 60000000 1048576
b) To add this RAM to the NuttX heap, you would need to change the
configuration as follows:
System Type -> External Memory Configuration
CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0HEAP=y : Add external RAM to heap
Memory Management
-CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=1 : Only the internal SRAM
+CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=2 : Also include external SRAM
