README
======
This README file discusses the port of NuttX to the Olimex LPC-H3131 board.
NOTE: This is a minimal port to the Olimex LPC-H3131. According to Olimex
documentation, the LPC-H3131 is similar in design to the Embedded Artists
EA3131. As a consequence, it should be possible to leverage additional
functionality from boards/arm/lpc31xx/ea3131 without too much difficulty.

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.
GNU Toolchain Options
=====================
The NuttX make system has been modified to support the following different
toolchain options.
1. The NuttX buildroot Toolchain (see below), or
2. Any generic arm-none-eabi GNU toolchain.
All testing has been conducted using the NuttX buildroot toolchain. To use
a different toolchain, you simply need to modify the configuration. As an
example:
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABI : Generic arm-none-eabi toolchain
Generic arm-none-eabi GNU Toolchain
-----------------------------------
There are a number of toolchain projects providing support for ARMv4/v5
class processors, including:
GCC ARM Embedded
https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm
Others exist for various Linux distributions, MacPorts, etc. Any version
based on GCC 4.6.3 or later should work.
IDEs
====
NuttX is built using command-line make. It can be used with an IDE, but some
effort will be required to create the project.
Makefile Build
--------------
Under Eclipse, it is pretty easy to set up an "empty makefile project" and
simply use the NuttX makefile to build the system. That is almost for free
under Linux. Under Windows, you will need to set up the "Cygwin GCC" empty
makefile project in order to work with Windows (Google for "Eclipse Cygwin" -
there is a lot of help on the internet).
Native Build
------------
Here are a few tips before you start that effort:
1) Select the toolchain that you will be using in your .config file
2) Start the NuttX build at least one time from the Cygwin command line
before trying to create your project. This is necessary to create
certain auto-generated files and directories that will be needed.
3) Set up include paths: You will need include/, arch/arm/src/lpc31xx,
arch/arm/src/common, arch/arm/src/arm, and sched/.
4) All assembly files need to have the definition option -D __ASSEMBLY__
on the command line.
Startup files will probably cause you some headaches. The NuttX startup file
is arch/arm/src/lpc31xx/lpc31_vectors.S. You may have to build NuttX
one time from the Cygwin command line in order to obtain the pre-built
startup object needed by an IDE.
NuttX buildroot Toolchain
=========================
A GNU GCC-based toolchain is assumed. The PATH environment variable should
be modified to point to the correct path to the Cortex-M3 GCC toolchain (if
different from the default in your PATH variable).
If you have no Cortex-M3 toolchain, one can be downloaded from the NuttX
Bitbucket download site (https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/buildroot/downloads/).
This GNU toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin environment.
1. You must have already configured NuttX in <some-dir>/nuttx.
tools/configure.sh olimex-lpc-h3131:<sub-dir>
2. Download the latest buildroot package into <some-dir>
3. unpack the buildroot tarball. The resulting directory may
have versioning information on it like buildroot-x.y.z. If so,
rename <some-dir>/buildroot-x.y.z to <some-dir>/buildroot.
4. cd <some-dir>/buildroot
5. cp boards/arm926t-defconfig-4.2.4 .config
6. make oldconfig
7. make
8. Make sure that the PATH variable includes the path to the newly built
binaries.
See the file boards/README.txt in the buildroot source tree. That has more
detailed PLUS some special instructions that you will need to follow if you are
building a Cortex-M3 toolchain for Cygwin under Windows.
Boot Sequence
=============
LPC313x has on chip bootrom which loads properly formatted images from multiple
sources into SRAM. These sources include including SPI Flash, NOR Flash, UART,
USB, SD Card, and NAND Flash.
In all configurations, NuttX is loaded directly into ISRAM. NuttX is linked
to execute from ISRAM, regardless of the boot source.
Buttons and LEDs
================
Buttons
-------
There are no user buttons on the H3131
LEDs
----
There are two LEDs on the LPC-H3131 that can be controlled by software:
LED GPIO
---------------- -----
LED1 Yellow GPIO17 High output illuminates
LED2 Green GPIO18 High output illuminates
Both can be illuminated by driving the GPIO output to high.
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/lpc31_leds.c. The LEDs are used to encode
OS-related events as follows:
SYMBOL Meaning LED state
LED2 LED1
------------------- ----------------------- -------- --------
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started OFF OFF
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF OFF
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled OFF OFF
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created ON OFF
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt N/C N/C
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler N/C N/C
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed N/C N/C
LED_PANIC The system has crashed N/C Blinking
LED_IDLE MCU is is sleep mode Not used
Thus if LED2 is statically on, NuttX has successfully booted and is,
apparently, running normmally. If LED1 is flashing at approximately
2Hz, then a fatal error has been detected and the system has halted.
NOTE: That LED2 is not used after completion of booting and may
be used by other board-specific logic.
Image Format
============
In order to use the bootrom bootloader, a special header must be added to
the beginning of the binary image that includes information about the
binary (things like the entry point, the size, and CRC's to verify the image.
NXP provides a Windows program to append such a header to the binary
image. However, (1) that program won't run under Linux, and (2) when I
try it under WinXP, Symantec immediately claims that the program is
misbehaving and deletes it!
To work around both of these issues, I have created a small program under
boards/olimex-lpc-h3131/tools to add the header. This program can be
built under either Linux or Cygwin (and probably other tool environments
as well). That tool can be built as follows:
- cd boards/olimex-lpc-h3131/tools
- make
Then, to build the NuttX binary ready to load with the bootloader, just
following these steps:
- tools/configure.sh olimex-lpc-h3131:ostest # (using the ostest configuration for this example)
- cd .. # Set up environment
- make # Make NuttX. This will produce nuttx.bin
- mklpc.sh # Make the bootloader binary (nuttx.lpc)
NOTES:
1. Make sure to set your PATH variable appropriately or use the full path
to mklpc.sh in the final step.
2. You can instruct Symantec to ignore the errors and it will stop
quarantining the NXP program.
3. The CRC32 logic in boards/olimex-lpc-h3131/tools doesn't seem to
work. As a result, the CRC is currently disabled in the header:
RCS file: /cvsroot/nuttx/nuttx/boards/olimex-lpc-h3131/tools/lpchdr.c,v
retrieving revision 1.2
diff -r1.2 lpchdr.c
264c264
< g_hdr.imagetype = 0x0000000b;
---
> g_hdr.imagetype = 0x0000000a;
Image Download to ISRAM
=======================
Assuming that you already have the FTDI driver installed*, then here is the
are the steps that I use for loading new code into the LPC-H3131:
1. Create the bootloader binary, nuttx.lpc, as described above.
2. With the power off, set the boot jumpers to enable booting from UART.
The boot jumpers are the block of three jumper just in-board from the
JTAG connector; Jumper pair 1-2 is the pair furthest from the JTAG
connector:
1-2: Closed
3-4: Closed
5-6: Open
3. Connected the LPC-H3131 using the FTDI USB port (not the lpc3131 USB port)
This will power up the LPC-H3131 and start the bootloader.
4. Start a terminal emulator (such as TeraTerm) at 115200 8NI.
5. Reset the LPC-H3131 and you should see:
LPC31xx READY FOR PLAIN IMAGE>
6. Send the nuttx.lpc file and you should see:
Download finished
That will load the NuttX binary into ISRAM and attempt to execute it.
*See the LPC313x documentation if you do not have the FTDI driver installed.
TeraTerm Note: This is how to send a file from TeraTerm. It is essentially
step 6 exploded in more detail for the case of TeraTerm:
1. Start the ROM bootloader as described above.
2. At the "LPC31xx READY FOR PLAIN IMAGE>" prompt, open the File menu and
select the "Send File..." option.
3. Select the file to send,
4. Before "Open" -ing the file MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE "Binary" BOX! This
has cost me a few hours a few times because I forget to do this. The
program will NOT RUN is sent non-binary.
[NO, I am not SHOUTING. I am just making sure that I never forget to
do this again].
5. "Open"-ing the file will send it to the ROM bootloader.
6. You should see "Download finished" from the bootloader followed
immediately by any serial console output from your program.
Using OpenOCD and GDB
=====================
[NOTE: As of this writing, my OpenOCD script does NOT work. It fails
because it is unable to halt the LPC3131. So, unfortunately, OpenOCD
is not a option right now.]
I have been using the Olimex ARM-USB-OCD JTAG debugger with the LPC-H3131
(http://www.olimex.com). The OpenOCD configuration file is here:
tools/armusbocb.cfg. There is also a script on the tools directory that
I used to start the OpenOCD daemon on my system called oocd.sh. That
script would probably require some modifications to work in another
environment:
- possibly the value of OPENOCD_PATH
- If you are working under Linux you will need to change any
occurrences of `cygpath -w blablabla` to just blablabla
Then you should be able to start the OpenOCD daemon like:
boards/olimex-lpc-h3131/tools/oocd.sh $PWD
Where it is assumed that you are executing oocd.sh from the top level
directory where NuttX is installed.
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
And you can load the NuttX ELF file:
(gdb) symbol-file nuttx
(gdb) load nuttx

Information Common to All Configurations
----------------------------------------
Each LPC-H3131 configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and can be
selected as follow:
tools/configure.sh olimex-lpc-h3131:<subdir>
Before building, make sure the PATH environment variable includes 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.
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 on the UART0 associated with the FT232RL USB-to UART
converter.
3. Unless otherwise stated, the configurations are setup for
Windows undery Cygwin. This can, however, be easilty reconfigured.
4. All of these configurations use the Code Sourcery for Windows toolchain
(unless stated otherwise in the description of the configuration). That
toolchain selection can easily be reconfigured using 'make menuconfig'.
Here are the relevant current settings:
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Microsoft Windows
CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : Using Cygwin or other POSIX environment
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABI=y : GNU EABI toolchain for windows
Configuration sub-directories
-----------------------------
nsh:
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh. The
Configuration enables only the serial NSH interface.
General Configuration. These are easily change by modifying the NuttX
configuration:
- Console on UART -> UART-to-USB converter
- Platform: Windows with Cygwin
- Toolchain: ARM EABI GCC for Windows
NOTES:
1. Built-in applications are not supported by default. To enable NSH
built-in applications:
Binary
CONFIG_BUILTIN=y : Support built-in applications
Application Configuration -> NSH Library
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y : Enable built-in applications
2. SDRAM support is not enabled by default. SDRAM support can be enabled
by adding the following to your NuttX configuration file:
[NOTE: There is still something wrong with the SDRAM setup. At present
it hangs on the first access from SDRAM during configuration.]
System Type->LPC31xx Peripheral Support
CONFIG_LPC31_EXTDRAM=y : Enable external DRAM support
CONFIG_LPC31_EXTDRAMSIZE=33554432 : 256Mbit -> 32Mbyte
CONFIG_LPC31_SDRAM_16BIT=y : Organized 16Mbit x 16 bits wide
Now that you have SDRAM enabled, what are you going to do with it? One
thing you can is add it to the heap
System Type->Heap Configuration
CONFIG_LPC31_EXTDRAMHEAP=y : Add the SDRAM to the heap
Memory Management
CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=2 : Two memory regions: ISRAM and SDRAM
Another thing you could do is to enable the RAM test built-in
application:
3. You can enable the NuttX RAM test that may be used to verify the
external SDAM. To do this, keep the SDRAM out of the heap so that
it can be tested without crashing programs using the memory.
First enable built-in applications as described above, then make
the following additional modifications to the NuttX configuration:
System Type->Heap Configuration
CONFIG_LPC31_EXTDRAMHEAP=n : Don't add the SDRAM to the heap
Memory Management
CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=1 : One memory regions: ISRAM
Then enable the RAM test built-in application:
Application Configuration->System NSH Add-Ons->Ram Test
CONFIG_TESTING_RAMTEST=y
In this configuration, the SDRAM is not added to heap and so is not
excessible to the applications. So the RAM test can be freely
executed against the SRAM memory beginning at address 0x2000:0000
(DDR CS):
nsh> ramtest -h
Usage: ramtest [-w|h|b] <hex-address> <decimal-size>
Where:
<hex-address> starting address of the test.
<decimal-size> number of memory locations (in bytes).
-w Sets the width of a memory location to 32-bits.
-h Sets the width of a memory location to 16-bits (default).
-b Sets the width of a memory location to 8-bits.
To test the entire external 256MB SRAM:
nsh> ramtest -w 30000000 33554432
RAMTest: Marching ones: 30000000 33554432
RAMTest: Marching zeroes: 30000000 33554432
RAMTest: Pattern test: 30000000 33554432 55555555 aaaaaaaa
RAMTest: Pattern test: 30000000 33554432 66666666 99999999
RAMTest: Pattern test: 30000000 33554432 33333333 cccccccc
RAMTest: Address-in-address test: 30000000 33554432
4. This configuration has been used to test USB host functionality. USB
host is *not* enabled by default. If you will to enable USB host
support in the NSH configuration, please modify the NuttX
configuration as follows:
a) Basic USB Host support
Drivers -> USB Host Driver Support
CONFIG_USBHOST=y : General USB host support
CONFIG_USBHOST_INT_DISABLE=n : Interrupt EPs need with hub, HID keyboard, and HID mouse
CONFIG_USBHOST_ISOC_DISABLE=y : Not needed (or supported)
System Type -> Peripherals
CONFIG_LPC31_USBOTG=y : Enable the USB OTG peripheral
System Type -> USB host configuration
CONFIG_LPC31_EHCI_BUFSIZE=128
CONFIG_LPC31_EHCI_PREALLOCATE=y
RTOS Features -> Work Queue Support
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE=y : High priority queue support is needed
CONFIG_SCHED_HPWORK=y
CONFIG_SCHED_HPWORKSTACKSIZE=1536 (1024 seems to work okay too)
b. Hub Support.
Drivers -> USB Host Driver Support
CONFIG_USBHOST_INT_DISABLE=n : Interrupt endpoint support needed
CONFIG_USBHOST_HUB=y : Enable the hub class
CONFIG_USBHOST_ASYNCH=y : Asynchronous I/O supported needed for hubs
RTOS Features -> Work Queue Support
CONFIG_SCHED_LPWORK=y : Low priority queue support is needed
CONFIG_SCHED_LPNTHREADS=1
CONFIG_SCHED_LPWORKSTACKSIZE=1024
NOTES:
1. It is necessary to perform work on the low-priority work queue
(vs. the high priority work queue) because:
a. Deferred work requires some delays and waiting, and
b. There are dependencies between the waiting and driver
interrupt related work. Since that interrupt related work
will performed on the high priority work queue, there would
be the likelihood of deadlocks if you wait for events on the
high priority work thread that can only occur if the high
priority work thread is available to post those events.
2. Logic nesting becomes deeper with a hub and it may also be
necessary to increase some stack sizes.
c. USB Mass Storage Class. With this class enabled, you can support
connection of USB FLASH storage drives. Support for the USB
mass storage class is enabled like this:
Drivers -> USB Host Driver Support
CONFIG_USBHOST_MSC=y : Mass storage class support
The MSC class will work like this. When you first start NSH, you
can look at the available devices like this:
NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-6.31
nsh> ls -l /dev
/dev:
crw-rw-rw- 0 console
crw-rw-rw- 0 null
crw-rw-rw- 0 ttyS0
The crw-rw-rw- indicates a readable, write-able character device.
nsh> ls -l /dev
/dev:
crw-rw-rw- 0 console
crw-rw-rw- 0 null
brw-rw-rw- 0 sda
crw-rw-rw- 0 ttyS0
The brw-rw-rw- indicates a readable, write-able block device.
This block device can then be mounted like this:
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/flash
The USB FLASH drive contents are then visible under /mnt/flash and
can be operated on with normal file system commands like:
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/flash
nsh> cat /mnt/flash/filec.c
etc.
It is recommended that the drive by unmounted BEFORE it is
removed. That is not always possible so if the USB FLASH is
removed BEFORE the drive is unmounted, the device at /dev/sda will
persist in an unusable stack until it is unmounted with the
following command (NOTE: If the FLASH drive is re-inserted in
this state, it will appear as /dev/sdb):
nsh> umount /mnt/flash
d. HID Keyboard support. The following support will enable support
for certain keyboard devices (only the so-called "boot" keyboard
class is supported):
Drivers -> USB Host Driver Support
CONFIG_USBHOST_HIDKBD=y : HID keyboard class support
Drivers -> USB Host Driver Support
CONFIG_USBHOST_INT_DISABLE=n : Interrupt endpoint support needed
In this case, when the HID keyboard is installed, you see a new
character device called /dev/kbda.
There is a HID keyboard test example that can be enabled with the
following settings. NOTE: In this case, NSH is disabled because
the HID keyboard test is a standalone test.
This selects the HIDKBD example:
Application Configuration -> Examples
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HIDKBD=y
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HIDKBD_DEVNAME="/dev/kbda"
RTOS Features
CONFIG_INIT_ENTRYPOINT="hidkbd_main"
These settings disable NSH:
Application Configuration -> Examples
CONFIG_SYSTEM_NSH=n
Application Configuration -> NSH Library
CONFIG_NSH_LIBRARY=y
Using the HID Keyboard example: Anything typed on the keyboard
should be echoed on the serial console. Here is some sample of
a session:
Initialization
hidkbd_main: Register class drivers
hidkbd_main: Initialize USB host keyboard driver
hidkbd_main: Start hidkbd_waiter
hidkbd_waiter: Running
The test example will periodically attempt to open /dev/kbda
Opening device /dev/kbda
Failed: 2
Opening device /dev/kbda
Failed: 2
etc.
The open will fail each time because there is no keyboard
attached. When a USB keyboard is attached, the open of /dev/kbda
will succeed and the test will begin echoing data to the serial
console:
hidkbd_waiter: connected
Opening device /dev/kbda
Device /dev/kbda opened
For example, this text was entered from the keyboard:
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.
Then when the device is removed, the test will resume attempting
to open the driver until the next time it is connected
Closing device /dev/kbda: -1
Opening device /dev/kbda
Failed: 19
hidkbd_waiter: disconnected
Opening device /dev/kbda
Failed: 2
etc.
d. The USB monitor can also be enabled:
Drivers -> USB Host Driver Support
CONFIG_USBHOST_TRACE=y
CONFIG_USBHOST_TRACE_NRECORDS=128
CONFIG_USBHOST_TRACE_VERBOSE=y
Application Configuration -> System Add-Ons
CONFIG_USBMONITOR=y
CONFIG_USBMONITOR_INTERVAL=1
NOTE: I have found that if you enable USB DEBUG and/or USB tracing,
the resulting image requires to much memory to execute out of
internal SRAM. I was able to get the configurations to run out of
SRAM with debug/tracing enabled by carefully going through the
configuration and reducing stack sizes, disabling unused OS features,
disabling un-necessary NSH commands, etc.
5. Making the Configuration Smaller. This configuration runs out of
internal SRAM. If you enable many features, then your code image
may outgrow the available SRAM; even if the code can be loaded into
SRAM, it may still fail at runtime due to insufficient memory.
Since SDRAM is not currently working (see above) and NAND support
has not be integrated, the only really option is to put NSH "on a
diet" to reduct the size so that it will fit into memory.
Here are a few things you can do:
1. Try using smaller stack sizes,
2. Disable operating system features. Here some that can go:
CONFIG_DISABLE_ENVIRON=y
CONFIG_DISABLE_MQUEUE=y
CONFIG_DISABLE_POSIX_TIMERS=y
CONFIG_DISABLE_PTHREAD=y
CONFIG_MQ_MAXMSGSIZE=0
CONFIG_NUNGET_CHARS=0
CONFIG_PREALLOC_MQ_MSGS=0
3. Disable NSH commands. I can life fine without these:
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_ADDROUTE=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_CD=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_CMP=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_CP=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_DD=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_DELROUTE=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_EXEC=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_EXIT=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_GET=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_HEXDUMP=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_IFCONFIG=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_LOSETUP=y
CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MB=y
