STM32F3Discovery
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
This README discusses issues unique to NuttX configurations for the
|
|
STMicro STM32F3Discovery development board.
|
|
|
|
LEDs
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
The STM32F3Discovery board has ten LEDs. Two of these are controlled by
|
|
logic on the board and are not available for software control::
|
|
|
|
LD1 PWR: red LED indicates that the board is powered.
|
|
LD2 COM: LD2 default status is red. LD2 turns to green to indicate that
|
|
communications are in progress between the PC and the ST-LINK/V2.
|
|
|
|
And eight can be controlled by software::
|
|
|
|
User LD3: red LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE9 of the
|
|
STM32F303VCT6.
|
|
User LD4: blue LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE8 of the
|
|
STM32F303VCT6.
|
|
User LD5: orange LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE10 of the
|
|
STM32F303VCT6.
|
|
User LD6: green LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE15 of the
|
|
STM32F303VCT6.
|
|
User LD7: green LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE11 of the
|
|
STM32F303VCT6.
|
|
User LD8: orange LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE14 of the
|
|
STM32F303VCT6.
|
|
User LD9: blue LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE12 of the
|
|
STM32F303VCT6.
|
|
User LD10: red LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE13 of the
|
|
STM32F303VCT6.
|
|
|
|
These LEDs are 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/up_leds.c. The LEDs are used to encode OS-related
|
|
events as follows:
|
|
|
|
=================== ======================= ==========================
|
|
SYMBOL Meaning LED state
|
|
=================== ======================= ==========================

|
|
=================== ======================= ==========================

|
|
Serial Console
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The STM32F3Discovery has no on-board RS-232 driver, however USART2 is
|
|
configuration as the serial console in all configurations that use a serial
|
|
console.
|
|
|
|
There are many options for USART2 RX and TX pins. They configured to use
|
|
PA2 (TX) and PA3 (RX) for connection to an external serial device because of
|
|
the following settings in the include/board.h file::
|
|
|
|
#define GPIO_USART2_RX GPIO_USART2_RX_2
|
|
#define GPIO_USART2_TX GPIO_USART2_TX_2
|
|
|
|
This can be found on the board at::
|
|
|
|
TX, PA2, Connector P1, pin 14
|
|
RX, PA3, Connector P1, pin 11
|
|
|
|
FPU
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
FPU Configuration Options
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
There are two version of the FPU support built into the STM32 port.
|
|
|
|
1. Non-Lazy Floating Point Register Save
|
|
|
|
In this configuration floating point register save and restore is
|
|
implemented on interrupt entry and return, respectively. In this
|
|
case, you may use floating point operations for interrupt handling
|
|
logic if necessary. This FPU behavior logic is enabled by default
|
|
with::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y
|
|
|
|
2. Lazy Floating Point Register Save.
|
|
|
|
An alternative implementation only saves and restores FPU registers only
|
|
on context switches. This means: (1) floating point registers are not
|
|
stored on each context switch and, hence, possibly better interrupt
|
|
performance. But, (2) since floating point registers are not saved,
|
|
you cannot use floating point operations within interrupt handlers.
|
|
|
|
This logic can be enabled by simply adding the following to your .config
|
|
file::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y
|
|
|
|
Debugging
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
If you are going to use a debugger, you should make sure that the following
|
|
settings are selection in your configuration file::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=y : Enable debug symbols in the build
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_USEBASEPRI=y : Use the BASEPRI register to disable interrupts
|
|
|
|
STM32 ST-LINK Utility
|
|
---------------------
|
|
For simply writing to FLASH, I use the STM32 ST-LINK Utility. At least
|
|
version 2.4.0 is required (older versions do not recognize the STM32 F3
|
|
device). This utility is available from free from the STMicro website.
|
|
|
|
OpenOCD
|
|
-------
|
|
I am told that OpenOCD will work with the ST-Link, but I have never tried
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/texane/stlink
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
This is an open source server for the ST-Link that I have never used.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to use an external debugger such as the Segger JLink
|
|
(EDU or commercial models) provided:
|
|
|
|
1) The CN4 jumpers are removed to disconnect the on-board STLinkV2 from
|
|
the STM32F3.
|
|
|
|
2) The appropriate (20 pin connector to flying wire) adapter is used to connect
|
|
the debugger to the required pins on the expansion headers (see below).
|
|
|
|
Note that the 1x6 header on the STLinkV2 side of the board labeled "SWD"
|
|
is for the STLink micro (STM32F1) and is not connected to the STM32F3.
|
|
|
|
3) OpenOCD version 0.9.0 or later is used. Earlier versions support either
|
|
JTAG only or are buggy for SWD.
|
|
|
|
The signals used with external (SWD) debugging are::
|
|
|
|
VREF (3V)
|
|
GROUND (GND)
|
|
SWCLK (PA14)
|
|
SWIO (PA13)
|
|
SWO (PB3)
|
|
RESET (NRST)
|
|
|
|
Configurations
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Each STM32F3Discovery configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
|
|
can be selected as follow:
|
|
|
|
tools/configure.sh STM32F3Discovery:<subdir>
|
|
|
|
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
|
|
|
|
nsh:
|
|
---
|
|
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at apps/examples/nsh. The
|
|
Configuration enables the serial interfaces on USART2. Support for
|
|
builtin applications is enabled, but in the base configuration no
|
|
builtin applications are selected (see NOTES below).
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. To
|
|
change this 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.
|
|
|
|
2. By default, this configuration uses the ARM EABI toolchain
|
|
for Windows and builds under Cygwin (or probably MSYS). That
|
|
can easily be reconfigured, of course.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Builds under Windows
|
|
CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : Using Cygwin
|
|
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABI=y : GNU EABI toolchain for Windows
|
|
|
|
3. This configuration includes USB Support (CDC/ACM device)::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_STM32_USB=y : STM32 USB device support
|
|
CONFIG_USBDEV=y : USB device support must be enabled
|
|
CONFIG_CDCACM=y : The CDC/ACM driver must be built
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y : NSH built-in application support must be enabled
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y : To perform USB initialization
|
|
|
|
The CDC/ACM example is included as two NSH "built-in" commands.::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYSTEM_CDCACM=y : Enable apps/system/cdcacm
|
|
|
|
The two commands are::
|
|
|
|
sercon : Connect the serial device a create /dev/ttyACM0
|
|
serdis : Disconnect the serial device.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The serial connections/disconnections do not work as advertised.
|
|
This is because the STM32F3Discovery board does not provide circuitry for
|
|
control of the "soft connect" USB pullup. As a result, the host PC
|
|
does not know the USB has been logically connected or disconnected. You
|
|
have to follow these steps to use USB:
|
|
|
|
1) Start NSH with USB disconnected
|
|
2) enter to 'sercon' command to start the CDC/ACM device, then
|
|
3) Connect the USB device to the host.
|
|
|
|
and to close the connection:
|
|
|
|
4) Disconnect the USB device from the host
|
|
5) Enter the 'serdis' command
|
|
|
|
4. This example can support the watchdog timer test (apps/examples/watchdog)
|
|
but this must be enabled by selecting::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG=y : Enable the apps/examples/watchdog
|
|
CONFIG_WATCHDOG=y : Enables watchdog timer driver support
|
|
CONFIG_STM32_WWDG=y : Enables the WWDG timer facility, OR
|
|
CONFIG_STM32_IWDG=y : Enables the IWDG timer facility (but not both)
|
|
|
|
The WWDG watchdog is driven off the (fast) 42MHz PCLK1 and, as result,
|
|
has a maximum timeout value of 49 milliseconds. For WWDG watchdog, you
|
|
should also add the following to the configuration file::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG_PINGDELAY=20
|
|
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT=49
|
|
|
|
The IWDG timer has a range of about 35 seconds and should not be an issue.
|
|
|
|
usbnsh:
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
This is another NSH example. If differs from other 'nsh' configurations
|
|
in that this configurations uses a USB serial device for console I/O.
|
|
Such a configuration is useful on the stm32f3discovery which has no
|
|
builtin RS-232 drivers.
|
|
|
|
Status: As of this writing, this configuration has not ran properly.
|
|
There appears to be some kind of driver-related issue.
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. To
|
|
change this 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.
|
|
|
|
2. By default, this configuration uses the ARM EABI toolchain
|
|
for Windows and builds under Cygwin (or probably MSYS). That
|
|
can easily be reconfigured, of course.
|
|
|
|
Build Setup::
|
|
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Builds under Windows
|
|
CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : Using Cygwin
|
|
|
|
System Type::
|
|
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABI=y : GNU EABI toolchain for Windows
|
|
|
|
3. This configuration does have USART2 output enabled and set up as
|
|
the system logging device:
|
|
|
|
Device Drivers -> System Logging Device Options::
|
|
CONFIG_SYSLOG_CHAR=y : Use a character device for system logging
|
|
CONFIG_SYSLOG_DEVPATH="/dev/ttyS0" : USART2 will be /dev/ttyS0
|
|
|
|
However, there is nothing to generate SYSLOG output in the default
|
|
configuration so nothing should appear on USART2 unless you enable
|
|
some debug output or enable the USB monitor.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Using the SYSLOG to get debug output has limitations. Among
|
|
those are that you cannot get debug output from interrupt handlers.
|
|
So, in particularly, debug output is not a useful way to debug the
|
|
USB device controller driver. Instead, use the USB monitor with
|
|
USB debug off and USB trance on (see below).
|
|
|
|
4. Enabling USB monitor SYSLOG output. If tracing is enabled, the USB
|
|
device will save encoded trace output in in-memory buffer; if the
|
|
USB monitor is enabled, that trace buffer will be periodically
|
|
emptied and dumped to the system logging device (USART2 in this
|
|
configuration):
|
|
|
|
Device Drivers -> "USB Device Driver Support::
|
|
CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE=y : Enable USB trace feature
|
|
CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE_NRECORDS=256 : Buffer 128 records in memory
|
|
|
|
Application Configuration -> NSH LIbrary::
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_TRACE=n : No builtin tracing from NSH
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y : Automatically start the USB monitor
|
|
|
|
Application Configuration -> System NSH Add-Ons::
|
|
CONFIG_USBMONITOR=y : Enable the USB monitor daemon
|
|
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_STACKSIZE=2048 : USB monitor daemon stack size
|
|
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_PRIORITY=50 : USB monitor daemon priority
|
|
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_INTERVAL=1 : Dump trace data every second
|
|
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACEINIT=y : Enable TRACE output
|
|
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACECLASS=y
|
|
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACETRANSFERS=y
|
|
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACECONTROLLER=y
|
|
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACEINTERRUPTS=y
|
|
|
|
NOTE: USB debug output also be enabled in this case. Both will appear
|
|
on the serial SYSLOG output. However, the debug output will be
|
|
asynchronous with the trace output and, hence, difficult to interpret.
|
|
|
|
5. The STM32F3Discovery board does not provide circuitry for control of
|
|
the "soft connect" USB pullup. As a result, the host PC does not know
|
|
the USB has been logically connected or disconnected. You have to
|
|
follow these steps to use USB:
|
|
|
|
1) Start NSH with USB disconnected, then
|
|
2) Connect the USB device to the host.
|
|
|
|
6. Using the Prolifics PL2303 Emulation
|
|
|
|
You could also use the non-standard PL2303 serial device instead of
|
|
the standard CDC/ACM serial device by changing::
|
|
|
|
Drivers->USB Device Driver Support
|
|
CONFIG_CDCACM=n : Disable the CDC/ACM serial device class
|
|
CONFIG_CDCACM_CONSOLE=n : The CDC/ACM serial device is NOT the console
|
|
CONFIG_PL2303=y : The Prolifics PL2303 emulation is enabled
|
|
CONFIG_PL2303_CONSOLE=y : The PL2303 serial device is the console
|
