boards/mips/pic32mx/ubw32 README
====================
This README file discusses the port of NuttX to the Sparkfun UBW32 board.
This port uses the original v2.5 board which is based on the MicroChip
PIC32MX460F512L. See http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8971. This older
version has been replaced with this board http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9713.

PIC32MX460F512L Pin Out
=======================
PIC32MX460F512L 100-Pin TQFP (USB) Pin Out. The mapping to the pins on
the PCL Logic board are very simple, each pin is brought out to a connector
label with the PIC32MX460F512L pin number.
On board logic only manages power, crystal, and USB signals.

==================
I use a tiny, MAX3232 board that I got from the eBay made by NKC
Electronics (http://www.nkcelectronics.com/). As of this writing, it

Toolchains
==========
MPLAB/C32
---------
I am using the free, "Lite" version of the PIC32MX toolchain available
for download from the microchip.com web site. I am using the Windows
version. The MicroChip toolchain is the only toolchain currently
supported in these configurations, but it should be a simple matter to
adapt to other toolchains by modifying the Make.defs file include in
each configuration.
C32 Toolchain Options:
CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_MICROCHIPW - MicroChip full toolchain for Windows
CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_MICROCHIPL - MicroChip full toolchain for Linux
CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_MICROCHIPW_LITE - MicroChip "Lite" toolchain for Windows
CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_MICROCHIPL_LITE - MicroChip "Lite" toolchain for Linux
CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_PINGUINOL - Pinquino toolchain for Linux
CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_PINGUINOW - Pinquino toolchain for Windows
CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_MICROCHIPOPENL - Microchip open toolchain for Linux
CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_ELF - General mips-elf toolchain for Linux
NOTE: The "Lite" versions of the toolchain does not support C++. Also
certain optimization levels are not supported by the "Lite" toolchain.
MicrochipOpen
-------------
An alternative, build-it-yourself toolchain is available here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/microchipopen/ . These tools were
last updated circa 2010. NOTE: C++ support still not available
in this toolchain.
Building MicrochipOpen (on Linux)
1) Get the build script from this location:
http://microchipopen.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/microchipopen/ccompiler4pic32/buildscripts/trunk/
2) Build the code using the build script, for example:
./build.sh -b v105_freeze
This will check out the selected branch and build the tools.
3) Binaries will then be available in a subdirectory with a name something like
pic32-v105-freeze-20120622/install-image/bin (depending on the current data
and the branch that you selected.
Note that the tools will have the prefix, mypic32- so, for example, the
compiler will be called mypic32-gcc.
Pinguino mips-elf Toolchain
---------------------------
Another option is the mips-elf toolchain used with the Pinguino project. This
is a relatively current mips-elf GCC and should provide free C++ support as
well. This toolchain can be downloaded from the Pinguino website:
http://wiki.pinguino.cc/index.php/Main_Page#Download .
See also boards/mirtoo/README.txt. There is an experimental (untested)
configuration for the Mirtoo platform in that directory.
MPLAB/C32 vs MPLABX/X32
-----------------------
It appears that Microchip is phasing out the MPLAB/C32 toolchain and replacing
it with MPLABX and XC32. At present, the XC32 toolchain is *not* compatible
with the NuttX build scripts. Here are some of the issues that I see when trying
to build with XC32:
1) Make.def changes: You have to change the tool prefix:
-CROSSDEV=pic32-
+CROSSDEV=xc32-
2) debug.ld/release.ld: The like expect some things that are not present in
the current linker scripts (or are expected with different names). Here
are some partial fixes:
Rename: kseg0_progmem to kseg0_program_mem
Rename: kseg1_datamem to kseg1_data_mem
Even then, there are more warnings from the linker and some undefined symbols
for non-NuttX code that resides in the unused Microchip libraries. You will
have to solve at least this undefined symbol problem if you want to used the
XC32 toolchain.
Windows Native Toolchains
-------------------------
NOTE: There are several limitations to using a Windows based toolchain in a
Cygwin environment. The three biggest are:
1. The Windows toolchain cannot follow Cygwin paths. Path conversions are
performed automatically in the Cygwin makefiles using the 'cygpath' utility
but you might easily find some new path problems. If so, check out 'cygpath -w'
2. Windows toolchains cannot follow Cygwin symbolic links. Many symbolic links
are used in NuttX (e.g., include/arch). The make system works around these
problems for the Windows tools by copying directories instead of linking them.
But this can also cause some confusion for you: For example, you may edit
a file in a "linked" directory and find that your changes had no effect.
That is because you are building the copy of the file in the "fake" symbolic
directory. If you use a Windows toolchain, you should get in the habit of
making like this:
make clean_context all
An alias in your .bashrc file might make that less painful.
Loading NuttX with PICkit2
==========================
NOTE: You need a PICKit3 if you plan to use the MPLAB debugger! The PICKit2
can, however, still be used to load programs. Instructions for the PICKit3
are similar.
Intel Hex Forma Files:
----------------------
When NuttX is built it will produce two files in the top-level NuttX
directory:
1) nuttx - This is an ELF file, and
2) nuttx.hex - This is an Intel Hex format file. This is controlled by
the setting CONFIG_INTELHEX_BINARY in the .config file.
The PICkit tool wants an Intel Hex format file to burn into FLASH. However,
there is a problem with the generated nutt.hex: The tool expects the nuttx.hex
file to contain physical addresses. But the nuttx.hex file generated from the
top-level make will have address in the KSEG0 and KSEG1 regions.
tools/pic32/mkpichex:
----------------------
There is a simple tool in the NuttX tools/pic32 directory that can be
used to solve both issues with the nuttx.hex file. But, first, you must
build the tool:
cd tools/pic32
make -f Makefile.host
Now you will have an executable file call mkpichex (or mkpichex.exe on
Cygwin). This program will take the nutt.hex file as an input, it will
convert all of the KSEG0 and KSEG1 addresses to physical address, and
it will write the modified file, replacing the original nuttx.hex.
To use this file, you need to do the following things:
export PATH =??? # Add the NuttX tools/pic32 directory to your
# PATH variable
make # Build nuttx and nuttx.hex
mkpichex $PWD # Convert addresses in nuttx.hex. $PWD is the path
# to the top-level build directory. It is the only
# required input to mkpichex.
This procedure is automatically performed at the end of a build.

Configurations
==============
Each PIC32MX configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and can be
selected as follow:
tools/configure.sh ubw32:<subdir>
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
nsh:
This is the NuttShell (NSH) using the NSH startup logic at
apps/examples/nsh.
NOTES:
1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. To
change this 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. Serial Output
The OS test produces all of its test output on the serial console.
This configuration has UART1 enabled as a serial console.
TX -- J4 pin 31: U1TX/RF8
RX -- J4 pin 30: U1RX/RF2
GND -- J4 pin 40: GND
Vcc -- J4 pin 39: 5V
3. USB Configurations
Several USB device configurations can be enabled and included
as NSH built-in built in functions.
All USB device configurations require the following basic setup in
your NuttX configuration file to enable USB device support:
CONFIG_USBDEV=y : Enable basic USB device support
CONFIG_PIC32MX_USBDEV=y : Enable PIC32 USB device support
system/cdcacm - The system/cdcacm program can be included as an
function by adding the following to the NuttX configuration file:
CONFIG_SYSTEM_CDCACM=y
and defining the following in your .config file:
CONFIG_CDCACM=y : Enable the CDCACM device
