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 editting 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 inteface (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 configs/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 configration 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:
|
||
|
||
- configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/include/board.h - Defines LED constants, types and
|
||
prototypes the LED interface functions.
|
||
|
||
- configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/src/lpc1766stk.h - GPIO settings for the LEDs.
|
||
|
||
- configs/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 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 everthing you need. Everything will
|
||
require a couple of gigbytes of disk space.
|
||
|
||
2. Create a directory /home/OpenOCD.
|
||
|
||
3. Get the FT2232 drivr 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:
|
||
|
||
configs/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 configurtion 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
|
||
configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/tools/olimex.cfg
|
||
|
||
Starting OpenOCD
|
||
|
||
Then you should be able to start the OpenOCD daemon like:
|
||
|
||
configs/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
|
||
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) 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'.

|
||
CONFIG_LPC17_USBDEV_FRAME_INTERRUPT
|
||
Handle USB Start-Of-Frame events.
|

||
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 Peripheral Support
|
||
CONFIG_LPC17_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
|
||
|
||
hidmouse:
|
||
This configuration directory supports a variant of an NSH configution.
|
||
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_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under 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's Ethernet controller. It uses apps/examples/nettest to excercise 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.
|
||
|
||
NOTES:
|
||
|
||
1. Uses the CodeSourcery EABI toolchain under Windows. But that is
|
||
easily reconfigured:
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Windows
|
||
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : under Cygwin
|
||
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery toolchain
|
||
|
||
STATUS:
|
||
2015-06-02. This configuration was added in an attempt to replace
|
||
thttpd-nxflat (see below). I concurrently get out-of-memory errors
|
||
during execution of CGI. The 32KiB SRAM may be insufficient for
|
||
this configuration; this might be fixed with some careful tuning
|
||
of stack usage.
|
||
|
||
2015-06-06: Modified to use the Union File System. Untested.
|
||
This configuration was ported to the lincoln60 which has an LPC1769
|
||
and, hence, more SRAM. Additional memory reduction steps were
|
||
required to run on the LPC1769. See nuttx/configs/lincoln60/README.txt
|
||
for additional information.
|
||
|
||
thttpd-nxflat:
|
||
This builds the THTTPD web server example using the THTTPD and
|
||
the apps/examples/thttpd application. This version uses the NXFLAT
|
||
binary format with the ROMFS file system, otherwise it is equivalent to
|
||
thttpd-binfs.
|
||
|
||
NOTES:
|
||
|
||
1. Uses the newer, EABI, buildroot toolchain. But that is easily
|
||
reconfigured:
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y : Linux
|
||
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : Buildroot toolchain
|
||
CONFIG_ARMV7M_OABI_TOOLCHAIN=n : Newer, EABI toolchain
|
||
|
||
STATUS:
|
||
2015-06-02. Do to issues introduced by recent versions of GCC, NXFLAT
|
||
is not often usable.
|
||
|
||

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_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
|
||
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 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 possibily 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 possibily 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 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 coud 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
|
||
family.
