OpenSDAv2
=========
The FRDM-K64F platform features OpenSDAv2, the Freescale open-source
hardware embedded serial and debug adapter running an open-source
bootloader. This circuit offers several options for serial communication,
flash programming, and run-control debugging. OpenSDAv2 is an mbed
HDK-compatible debug interface preloaded with the open-source CMSIS-DAP
Interface firmware (mbed interface) for rapid prototyping and product
development.
Serial Console
==============
The primary serial port interface signals are PTB16 UART1_RX and PTB17
UART1_TX. These signals are connected to the OpenSDAv2 circuit.
LEDs and Buttons
================
RGB LED
-------
An RGB LED is connected through GPIO as shown below:
LED K64
------ -------------------------------------------------------
RED PTB22/SPI2_SOUT/FB_AD29/CMP2_OUT
BLUE PTB21/SPI2_SCK/FB_AD30/CMP1_OUT
GREEN PTE26/ENET_1588_CLKIN/UART4_CTS_b/RTC_CLKOUT/USB0_CLKIN
If CONFIG_ARCH_LEDs is defined, then NuttX will control the LED on board the
Freedom KL25Z. Usage of these LEDs is defined in include/board.h and
src/k64_leds.c. The following definitions describe how NuttX controls the LEDs:
SYMBOL Meaning LED state
RED GREEN BLUE
------------------- ----------------------- -----------------
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started OFF OFF OFF
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF OFF ON
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled OFF OFF ON
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created OFF ON OFF
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt (no change)
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler (no change)
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed (no change)
LED_PANIC The system has crashed FLASH OFF OFF
LED_IDLE K64 is in sleep mode (Optional, not used)
Development Environment
=======================
Either Linux or Cygwin on Windows can be used for the development environment.
The source has been built only using the GNU toolchain (see below). Other
toolchains will likely cause problems. Testing was performed using the Cygwin
environment.
GNU Toolchain Options
=====================
The NuttX make system supports several GNU-based toolchains under Linux,
Cygwin under Windows, and Windoes native. To select a toolchain:
1. Use 'make menuconfig' and select the toolchain that you are using
under the System Type menu.
2. The default toolchain is the NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y
If you are not using CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT, then you may
also have to modify the PATH in the setenv.h file if your make cannot
find the tools.
NOTE: Using native Windows toolchains under Cygwin has some limitations.
This incuudes the CodeSourcery (for Windows) and devkitARM toolchains are
Windows native toolchains. The biggest limitations 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.
Freedom K64F Configuration Options
==================================
CONFIG_ARCH - Identifies the arch/ subdirectory. This sould
be set to:
CONFIG_ARCH=arm
CONFIG_ARCH_family - For use in C code:
CONFIG_ARCH_ARM=y
CONFIG_ARCH_architecture - For use in C code:
CONFIG_ARCH_CORTEXM4=y
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP - Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP=kinetis
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code to identify the exact
chip:
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_MK64FN1M0VLL12
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD="freedom-k64f" (for the Freedom K64F development board)
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_FREEDOM_K64F=y
CONFIG_ARCH_LOOPSPERMSEC - Must be calibrated for correct operation
of delay loops
CONFIG_ENDIAN_BIG - define if big endian (default is little
endian)
CONFIG_RAM_SIZE - Describes the installed DRAM (SRAM in this case):
CONFIG_RAM_SIZE=0x00010000 (64Kb)
CONFIG_RAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
CONFIG_RAM_START=0x20000000
CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LEDs to show state. Unique to boards that
have LEDs
CONFIG_ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK - This architecture supports an interrupt
stack. If defined, this symbol is the size of the interrupt
stack in bytes. If not defined, the user task stacks will be
used during interrupt handling.
CONFIG_ARCH_STACKDUMP - Do stack dumps after assertions
CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LEDs to show state. Unique to board architecture.
CONFIG_ARCH_CALIBRATION - Enables some build in instrumentation that
cause a 100 second delay during boot-up. This 100 second delay
serves no purpose other than it allows you to calibratre
CONFIG_ARCH_LOOPSPERMSEC. You simply use a stop watch to measure
the 100 second delay then adjust CONFIG_ARCH_LOOPSPERMSEC until
the delay actually is 100 seconds.

==============
Each TWR-K60N512 configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:
cd tools
./configure.sh twr-k60n512/<subdir>
cd -
. ./setenv.sh

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
(but not passing tests as of this writing).
