README
======

This README discusses issues unique to NuttX configurations for the
Atmel SAMD21 Xplained Pro development board.  This board features the
ATSAMD21J18A MCU.

The SAMD21 Xplained Pro Starter Kit may be bundled with three modules:

1) I/O1   - An MMC/SD card slot, PWM LED control, ADC light sensor, USART
            loopback, TWI AT30TSE758 Temperature sensor.
2) OLED1  - An OLED plus 3 additional switches and 3 additional LEDs
3) PROTO1 - A prototyping board with logic on board (other than power-related
            logic).

STATUS/ISSUES
=============

    1. See boards/arm/samd2l2/samd20-xplained/README.txt.
       This port derives from the SAMD20 Xplained board board and all issues
       there should apply.

    2. 2015-07-06:  The basic NSH configuration is working properly, but
       not at 115200 baud which is the default BAUD selection in the
       configurations.  It is necessary to drop the BAUD in the
       configuration.

       I suspect that this is an issue on my board and due to running the
       system on uncalibrated OSC8M.  My bet is that the issue would not
       exist on many boards or if OSC8M were calibrated or if a more precise
       clock source were used (like XOSC32K).

       ... After more experimentation, I am not sure this conclusion is
       correct or not.  Perhaps the board just comes up with a bad clocking
       configuration at times????

Modules
=======

  There are several I/O modules available that will work with the SAMD21
  Xplained Pro Starter Kit:

  1) I/O1   - An MMC/SD card slot, PWM LED control, ADC light sensor, USART
             loopback, TWI AT30TSE758 Temperature sensor.
  2) OLED1  - An OLED plus 3 additional switches and 3 additional LEDs
  3) PROTO1 - A prototyping board with logic on board (other than power-
              related logic).
  4) And others.  See http://www.atmel.com/products/microcontrollers/avr/xplained.aspx

  Some of these are discussed further below.

  I/O1
  ----
    The primary function of this module is to provide SD card support, but
    the full list of modules features include:

    - microSD card connector (SPI interface)
    - PWM (LED control)
    - ADC (light sensor)
    - USART loopback
    - TWI AT30TSE758 Temperature sensor with EEPROM

    SPI is available on two of the SAMD21 Xplained connectors, EXT1 and EXT2.
    They mate with the I/O1 connector as indicated in this table.

    Card Detect
    -----------
    When a microSD card is put into the connector SW_A and SW_B are short-
    circuited. SW_A is connected to the microSD_DETECT signal. To use this
    as a card indicator remember to enable internal pullup in the target
    device.

    Configuration Options:
    ----------------------
      CONFIG_SAMD21_XPLAINED_OLED1MODULE=y      : Informs the system that the
                                                 I/O1 module is installed
      CONFIG_SAMD21_XPLAINED_OLED1MODULE_EXT1=y : The module is installed in EXT1
      CONFIG_SAMD21_XPLAINED_OLED1MODULE_EXT2=y : The mdoule is installed in EXT2

    See the set-up in the discussion of the nsh configuration below for other
    required configuration options.

  PROTO1
  ------
  A prototyping board with logic on board (other than power-related logic).
  There is no built-in support for the PROTO1 module.

LEDs
====

  There is one yellow LED available on the SAM D20 Xplained Pro board that
  can be turned on and off. The LED can be activated by driving the connected
  PB30 I/O line to GND.

  When CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is defined in the NuttX configuration, NuttX will
  control the LED as follows:

    SYMBOL              Meaning                 LED0
    ------------------- ----------------------- ------
    LED_STARTED         NuttX has been started  OFF
    LED_HEAPALLOCATE    Heap has been allocated OFF
    LED_IRQSENABLED     Interrupts enabled      OFF
    LED_STACKCREATED    Idle stack created      ON
    LED_INIRQ           In an interrupt         N/C
    LED_SIGNAL          In a signal handler     N/C
    LED_ASSERTION       An assertion failed     N/C
    LED_PANIC           The system has crashed  FLASH

  Thus is LED is statically on, NuttX has successfully  booted and is,
  apparently, running normally.  If LED is flashing at approximately
  2Hz, then a fatal error has been detected and the system has halted.

Serial Consoles
===============

  SERCOM4
  ------

  SERCOM4 is available on connectors EXT1, EXT2, and EXT3, but using
  different PORT pins:

    PIN   EXT1 EXT2 EXT3 GPIO Function
    ----  ---- ---- ---- ------------------
     13   PB09 PB10 PB10 SERCOM4 / USART RX
     14   PB08 PB11 PB11 SERCOM4 / USART TX
     19   GND  GND  GND  N/A
     20   VCC  VCC  VCC  N/A

  There are options available in the NuttX configuration to select which
  connector SERCOM4 is on:  SAMD21_XPLAINED_USART4_EXTn, where n=1, 2, or 3.

  If you have a TTL to RS-232 converter then this is the most convenient
  serial console to use (because you don't lose the console device each time
  you lose the USB connection).  It is the default in all of these
  configurations.  An option is to use the virtual COM port.

  Virtual COM Port
  ----------------

  The SAMD21 Xplained Pro contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG) that can be
  used to program and debug the ATSAMD21J18A using Serial Wire Debug (SWD).
  The Embedded debugger also include a Virtual COM port interface over
  SERCOM3.  Virtual COM port connections:

    PA22 SERCOM3 / USART TXD
    PA23 SERCOM3 / USART RXD

Atmel Studio 6.1
================

  Loading Code into FLASH:
  -----------------------

  Tools menus:  Tools -> Device Programming.

  Debugging the NuttX Object File
  -------------------------------

  1) Rename object file from nutt to nuttx.elf.  That is an extension that
     will be recognized by the file menu.

  2) File menu: File -> Open -> Open object file for debugging

     - Select nuttx.elf object file
     - Select AT91SAMD21J18
     - Select files for symbols as desired
     - Select debugger

  3) Debug menu: Debug -> Start debugging and break

     - This will reload the nuttx.elf file into FLASH

  Some subsystems can be configured to operate in different ways. The drivers
  need to know how to configure the subsystem.

  SAMD21 specific device driver settings

    CONFIG_USARTn_SERIAL_CONSOLE - selects the USARTn (n=0,1,2,..5) for the
      console and ttys0 (default is the USART4).
    CONFIG_USARTn_RXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered as received.
       This specific the size of the receive buffer
    CONFIG_USARTn_TXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered before
       being sent.  This specific the size of the transmit buffer
    CONFIG_USARTn_BAUD - The configure BAUD of the USART.  Must be
    CONFIG_USARTn_BITS - The number of bits.  Must be either 7 or 8.
    CONFIG_USARTn_PARTIY - 0=no parity, 1=odd parity, 2=even parity
    CONFIG_USARTn_2STOP - Two stop bits

Configurations
==============

  Each SAMD21 Xplained Pro configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
  can be selected as follow:

    tools/configure.sh samd21-xplained:<subdir>

  Before building, make sure the PATH environment variable include the
  correct path to the directory than holds your toolchain binaries.

  And then build NuttX by simply typing the following.  At the conclusion of
  the make, the nuttx binary will reside in an ELF file called, simply, nuttx.

    make

  The <subdir> that is provided above as an argument to the tools/configure.sh
  must be is one of the following.

  NOTE:  These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
  change any of these 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.

  NOTES:

  1. These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
    change any of these 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. Unless stated otherwise, all configurations generate console
     output of on SERCOM4 which is available on EXT1, EXT2, or EXT3 (see
     the section "Serial Consoles" above).  The virtual COM port could
     be used, instead, by reconfiguring to use SERCOM3 instead of
     SERCOM4:

       System Type -> SAMD/L Peripheral Support
         CONFIG_SAMD2L2_SERCOM3=y  : Enable one or both
         CONFIG_SAMD2L2_SERCOM4=n

       Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> Serial Console
         CONFIG_USART4_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y  : Select only one for the console
         CONFIG_USART4_SERIAL_CONSOLE=n

       Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> SERCOM3 Configuration
         CONFIG_USART3_2STOP=0
         CONFIG_USART3_BAUD=115200
         CONFIG_USART3_BITS=8
         CONFIG_USART3_PARITY=0
         CONFIG_USART3_RXBUFSIZE=256
         CONFIG_USART3_TXBUFSIZE=256

       Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> SERCOM4 Configuration
         CONFIG_USART4_2STOP=0
         CONFIG_USART4_BAUD=115200
         CONFIG_USART4_BITS=8
         CONFIG_USART4_PARITY=0
         CONFIG_USART4_RXBUFSIZE=256
         CONFIG_USART4_TXBUFSIZE=256

       Board Selection -> USART4 Connection
         CONFIG_SAMD21_XPLAINED_USART4_EXT1=n : Pick on if USART4 used
         CONFIG_SAMD21_XPLAINED_USART4_EXT2=n
         CONFIG_SAMD21_XPLAINED_USART4_EXT3=y

  3. Unless otherwise stated, the configurations are setup for
     Cygwin under Windows:

     Build Setup:
       CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y   : Windows Host
       CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : Cygwin environment on windows

  4. These configurations use the ARM EABI toolchain.  But
     that is easily reconfigured:

     System Type -> Toolchain:
       CONFIG_ARMV6M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABI=y

     Any re-configuration should be done before making NuttX or else the
     subsequent 'make' will fail.  If you have already attempted building
     NuttX then you will have to 1) 'make distclean' to remove the old
     configuration, 2) 'tools/configure.sh sam3u-ek/ksnh' to start
     with a fresh configuration, and 3) perform the configuration changes
     above.

     Also, make sure that your PATH variable has the new path to your
     Atmel tools.  Try 'which arm-none-eabi-gcc' to make sure that you
     are selecting the right tool.

     See also the "NOTE about Windows native toolchains" in the section
     called "GNU Toolchain Options" above.

Configuration sub-directories
-----------------------------

  nsh:
    This configuration directory will built the NuttShell.  See NOTES above
    and below:

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration is set up to build on Windows using the Cygwin
       environment using the ARM EABI toolchain.  This can be easily
       changed as described above under "Configurations."

    2. By default, this configuration provides a serial console on SERCOM4
       at 115200 8N1 via EXT3:

       PIN   EXT3 GPIO Function
       ----  ---- ------------------
        13   PB11 SERCOM4 / USART RX
        14   PB10 SERCOM4 / USART TX
        19   GND  N/A
        20   VCC  N/A

       If you would prefer to use the EDBG serial COM port or would prefer
       to use SERCOM4 on EXT1 or EXT2, you will need to reconfigure the
       SERCOM as described under "Configurations".  See also the section
       entitled "Serial Consoles" above.

    3. NOTE: If you get a compilation error like:

         libxx_new.cxx:74:40: error: 'operator new' takes type 'size_t'
                              ('unsigned int') as first parameter [-fper

       Sometimes NuttX and your toolchain will disagree on the underlying
       type of size_t; sometimes it is an 'unsigned int' and sometimes it is
       an 'unsigned long int'.  If this error occurs, then you may need to
       toggle the value of CONFIG_ARCH_SIZET_LONG.

    4. If the I/O1 module is connected to the SAMD21 Xplained Pro, then
       support for the SD card slot can be enabled by making the following
       changes to the configuration.  These changes assume that the I/O1
       modules is connected in EXT1.  Most of the modifications necessary
       to work with the I/O1 in a different connector are obvious.. except
       for the selection of SERCOM SPI support:

         EXT1: SPI is provided through SERCOM0
         EXT2: SPI is provided through SERCOM1
         EXT3: SPI is provided through SERCOM5

       File Systems:
         CONFIG_FS_FAT=y                   : Enable the FAT file system
         CONFIG_FAT_LCNAMES=y              : Enable upper/lower case 8.3 file names (Optional, see below)
         CONFIG_FAT_LFN=y                  : Enable long file named (Optional, see below)
         CONFIG_FAT_MAXFNAME=32            : Maximum supported file name length

         There are issues related to patents that Microsoft holds on FAT long
         file name technologies.  See the top level NOTICE file for further
         details.

       System Type -> Peripherals:
         CONFIG_SAMD2L2_SERCOM0=y          : Use SERCOM0 if the I/O is in EXT1
         CONFIG_SAMD2L2_SERCOM0_ISSPI=y    : Configure SERCOM0 as an SPI master

       Device Drivers
         CONFIG_SPI=y                      : Enable SPI support
         CONFIG_SPI_EXCHANGE=y             : The exchange() method is supported

         CONFIG_MMCSD=y                    : Enable MMC/SD support
         CONFIG_MMCSD_NSLOTS=1             : Only one MMC/SD card slot
         CONFIG_MMCSD_MULTIBLOCK_LIMIT=0   : Should not need to disable multi-block transfers
         CONFIG_MMCSD_MMCSUPPORT=n         : May interfere with some SD cards
         CONFIG_MMCSD_HAVE_CARDDETECT=y    : I/O1 module as a card detect GPIO
         CONFIG_MMCSD_SPI=y                : Use the SPI interface to the MMC/SD card
         CONFIG_MMCSD_SPICLOCK=20000000    : This is a guess for the optimal MMC/SD frequency
         CONFIG_MMCSD_SPIMODE=0            : Mode 0 is required

       Board Selection -> Common Board Options
         CONFIG_NSH_MMCSDSLOTNO=0          : Only one MMC/SD slot, slot 0
         CONFIG_NSH_MMCSDSPIPORTNO=0       : Use port=0 -> SERCOM0 if the I/O1 is in EXT1

       Board Selection -> SAMD21 Xplained Pro Modules
         CONFIG_SAMD21_XPLAINED_IOMODULE=y      : I/O1 module is connected
         CONFIG_SAMD21_XPLAINED_IOMODULE_EXT1=y : I/O1 modules is in EXT1

       Application Configuration -> NSH Library
         CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y             : Board has architecture-specific initialization

       NOTE: If you enable the I/O1 this configuration with SERCOM4 as the
       console and with the I/O1 module in EXT1, you *must* remove USART
       jumper.  Otherwise, you have lookpack on SERCOM4 and NSH will *not*
       behave very well (since its outgoing prompts also appear as incoming
       commands).

       STATUS:  As of 2013-6-18, this configuration appears completely
       functional.  Testing, however, has been very light.  Example:

         NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-6.34
         nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/stuff
         nsh> ls /mnt/stuff
         /mnt/stuff:
         nsh> echo "This is a test" >/mnt/stuff/atest.txt
         nsh> ls /mnt/stuff
         /mnt/stuff:
          atest.txt
         nsh> cat /mnt/stuff/atest.txt
         This is a test
         nsh>

    5. If the OLED1 module is connected to the SAMD21 Xplained Pro, then
       support for the OLED display can be enabled by making the following
       changes to the configuration.  These changes assume that the I/O1
       modules is connected in EXT1.  Most of the modifications necessary
       to work with the I/O1 in a different connector are obvious.. except
       for the selection of SERCOM SPI support:

         EXT1: SPI is provided through SERCOM0
         EXT2: SPI is provided through SERCOM1
         EXT3: SPI is provided through SERCOM5

       System Type -> Peripherals:
         CONFIG_SAMD2L2_SERCOM1=y           : Use SERCOM1 if the I/O is in EXT2
         CONFIG_SAMD2L2_SERCOM1_ISSPI=y     : Configure SERCOM1 as an SPI master

       Device Drivers -> SPI
         CONFIG_SPI=y                       : Enable SPI support
         CONFIG_SPI_EXCHANGE=y              : The exchange() method is supported
         CONFIG_SPI_CMDDATA=y               : CMD/DATA support is required

       Device Drivers -> LCDs
         CONFIG_LCD=y                       : Enable LCD support
         CONFIG_LCD_MAXCONTRAST=255         : Maximum contrast value
         CONFIG_LCD_LANDSCAPE=y             : Landscape orientation (see below*)
         CONFIG_LCD_UG2832HSWEG04=y         : Enable support for the OLED
         CONFIG_LCD_SSD1306_SPIMODE=0       : SPI Mode 0
         CONFIG_LCD_SSD1306_SPIMODE=3500000 : Pick an SPI frequency

       Board Selection -> SAMD21 Xplained Pro Modules
         CONFIG_SAMD21_XPLAINED_OLED1MODULE=y      : OLED1 module is connected
         CONFIG_SAMD21_XPLAINED_OLED1MODULE_EXT2=y : OLED1 modules is in EXT2

       The NX graphics subsystem also needs to be configured:

         CONFIG_NX=y                        : Enable graphics support
         CONFIG_NX_LCDDRIVER=y              : Using an LCD driver
         CONFIG_NX_NPLANES=1                : With a single color plane
         CONFIG_NX_WRITEONLY=n              : You can read from the LCD (see below**)
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_2BPP=y           : Disable all resolutions except 1BPP
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_4BPP=y
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_8BPP=y
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_16BPP=y
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_24BPP=y
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_32BPP=y
         CONFIG_NX_PACKEDMSFIRST=y          : LSB packed first (shouldn't matter)
         CONFIG_NXSTART_EXTERNINIT=y        : We have board_graphics_setup()
         CONFIG_NXTK_BORDERWIDTH=2          : Use a small border
         CONFIG_NXTK_DEFAULT_BORDERCOLORS=y : Default border colors
         CONFIG_NXFONTS_CHARBITS=7          : 7-bit fonts
         CONFIG_NXFONT_SANS17X23B=y         : Pick a font (any that will fit)

        * This orientation will put the buttons "above" the LCD.  The
          reverse landscape configuration (CONFIG_LCD_RLANDSCAPE) will
          "flip" the display so that the buttons are "below" the LCD.

       ** The hardware is write only, but the driver maintains a frame buffer
          to support read and read-write-modiry operations on the LCD.
          Reading from the frame buffer is, however, untested.

       Then, in order to use the OLED, you will need to build some kind of
       graphics application or use one of the NuttX graphics examples.
       Here, for example, is the setup for the graphic "Hello, World!"
       example:

         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO=y                : Enables the example
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_DEFAULT_COLORS=y : Use default colors (see below *)
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_DEFAULT_FONT=y   : Use the default font
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_BPP=1            : One bit per pixel
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_EXTERNINIT=y     : Special initialization is required.

        * The OLED is monochrome so the only "colors" are blacka nd white.
          The default "colors" will give you while text on a black background.
          You can override the faults it you want black text on a while background.

       NOTE:  One issue that I have seen with the NXHello example when
       running as an NSH command is that it only works the first time.
       So, after you run the 'nxhello' command one time, you will have to
       reset the board before you run it again.

       This is clearly some issue with initializing, un-initializing, and
       then re-initializing. If you want to fix this, patches are quite
       welcome.
