Remove support for the Codesourcery, Atollic, DevKitArm, Raisonance, and CodeRed toolchains. Not only are these tools old and no longer used but they are all equivalent to standard ARM EABI toolchains. Retaining specific support has no effect (they are still supported, but now just as generic EABI toolchains).

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 <20> well that<61>s getting a bit extreme.
|
||
|
||
"Here<72>s what I know. The Olimex boards have both display controllers
|
||
possible; if the LCD has a GE-12 sticker on it, it<69>s a Philips PCF8833.
|
||
If it has a GE-8 sticker, it<69>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'.

reside in AHB SRAM.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
Configurations
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
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 COPYING 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
|
||
COPYING 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:
|
||
|
||
$ tcpdump -n -nn -i sl0 -x -X -s 1500
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
thttpd-binfs:
|
||
This builds the THTTPD web server example using the THTTPD and
|
||
the apps/examples/thttpd application. This version uses the built-in
|
||
binary format with the BINFS file system and the Union File System.
|
||
Otherwise it is equivalent to thttpd-binfs.
|

thttpd-nxflat (see below). I concurrently get out-of-memory errors

this configuration; this might be fixed with some careful tuning

This configuration was ported to the lincoln60 which has an LPC1769

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.
