tatus/Open Issues
=================
I would characterize the general port as very mature and stable. However,
there are a number of issues, caveats, and unfinished drivers as detailed in
the following paragraphs.
The BASIC nsh configuration is fully function (as described below under
"Configurations"). There is also a graphics configuratino (mxtxplnd) and
a configuration for network testing (netnsh). There are still open issues
that need to be resolved:
1. HSCMI. CONFIG_MMCSD_MULTIBLOCK_DISABLE=y is set to disable multi-block
transfers only because I have not yet had a chance to verify this. The
is very low priority to me but might be important to you if you are need
very high performance SD card accesses.
2. HSMCI TX DMA is currently disabled for the SAMV7. There is some
issue with the TX DMA setup (HSMCI TX DMA the same driver works with
the SAMA5D4 which has a different DMA subsystem). This is a bug that
needs to be resolved.
DMA is enabled by these settings in the file arch/arm/src/samvy/sam_hsmci.c:
#undef HSCMI_NORXDMA /* Define to disable RX DMA */
#define HSCMI_NOTXDMA 1 /* Define to disable TX DMA */
3. There may also be some issues with removing and re-inserting SD cards
(of course with appropriate mounting and unmounting). I all not sure
of this and need to do more testing to characterize if the issue.
4. There is a port of the SAMA5D4-EK Ethernet driver to the SAMV71-XULT.
This driver appears to be 100% functional with the following caveats:
- There is a compiler optimization issue. At -O2, there is odd
behavior on pings and ARP messages. But the behavior is OK with
optimization set to -O2. This may or may not be a compiler
optimization issue (it could also be a timing issue or a need
for some additional volatile qualifiers).
- I- and D-Caches are enabled but the D-Cache must be enabled in
write-through mode. This is to work around issues with the RX and TX
descriptors with are 8-bytes in size. But the D-Cache cache line size
is 32-bytes. That means that you cannot reload, clean or invalidate a
descriptor without also effecting three neighboring descriptors.
Setting write through mode eliminates the need for cleaning the D-Cache.
If only reloading and invalidating are done, then there is no problem.
5. The USBHS device controller driver (DCD) is complete but non-functional.
At this point, work has stopped because I am stuck. The problem is that
bus events are not occurring: Nothing is detected by the USBHS when the
host is connected; no activity is seen on the bus by a USB analyzer when
the host is connected. Possibilities: (1) the pull-ups on DM and DP are
not working. This would prevent the host from detecting the presence of
the device. The DETACH bit is, however, being correctly cleared and the
USB is in the suspend sate. Or (2) some issue with clocking or
configuration of the UTMI. I see nothing wrong in this case. I have
done extensive comparison of the Atmel sample code and study of the data
sheet, but I have not found the key to
solving this.
6. Partial support for the maXTouch Xplained Pro LCD is in place. The
ILI9488-based LCD is working well with a SMC DMA-based interface. Very
nice performance.
However, the maXTouch touchscreen driver is not working. I tried re-
using the maXTouch driver that was used with the SAMA5D4-EK TM7000
LCD, but the maXTouch Xplained Pro has a different maXTouch part
(ATMXT112S). No data sheet is available for this part.
The existing maXTouch driver claims that all operations on the ATMXT112S
are success, but there are no interrupts signalling touch event. I
assume that the different maXTouch part is not being configured
correctly but there is no available technical documentation or sample
code to debug with.
Current thinking is the the maXTouch chips that I have have not yet
been configured. In the Linux world, you would do this configuration
with the mxt-app program. But this is a bigger problem for us in the
embedded world.
7. The full port for audio support is code complete: WM8904 driver,
SSC/I2C driver, and CS2100-CP driver. But this code is untested. The
WM8904 interface was taken directly from the SAMA5D4-EK and may well
need modification due to differences with the physical WM8904
interface.
Serial Console
==============
The SAMV71-XULT has no on-board RS-232 drivers so it will be necessary to
use either the VCOM or an external RS-232 driver. Here are some options.
- Arduino Serial Shield: One option is to use an Arduino-compatible
serial shield. This will use the RXD and TXD signals available at pins
0 an 1, respectively, of the Arduino "Digital Low" connector. On the
SAMV71-XULT board, this corresponds to UART3:
------ ------ ------- ------- --------
Pin on SAMV71 Arduino Arduino SAMV71
J503 PIO Name Pin Function
------ ------ ------- ------- --------
1 PD28 RX0 0 URXD3
2 PD30 TX0 1 UTXD3
------ ------ ------- ------- --------
In this configuration, an external RS232 driver can also be used
instead of the shield. Simply connext as follows:
--------- -----------
Arduino RS-232
Pin Label Connection
--------- -----------
D0 (RXD) RX
D1 (TXD) TX
GND GND
5VO Vcc

- Arduino Communications. Additional UART/USART connections are available
on the Arduino Communications connection J505:
------ ------ ------- ------- --------
Pin on SAMV71 Arduino Arduino SAMV71

------ ------ ------- ------- --------
3 PD18 RX1 0 URXD4

5 PD15 RX2 0 RXD2
6 PD16 TX2 0 TXD2
7 PB0 RX3 0 RXD0
8 PB1 TX3 1 TXD0
------ ------ ------- ------- --------
- SAMV7-XULT EXTn connectors. USART pins are also available the EXTn
connectors. The following are labelled in the User Guide for USART
functionality:
---- -------- ------ --------
EXT1 EXTI1 SAMV71 SAMV71
Pin Name PIO Function

- VCOM. The Virtual Com Port gateway is available on USART1:

Any of these options can be selected as the serial console by:
1. Enabling the UART/USART peripheral in the
"System Type -> Peripheral Selection" menu, then
2. Configuring the peripheral in the "Drivers -> Serial Configuration"
menu.
SD Card
=======
Card Slot
---------
The SAM V71 Xplained Ultra has one standard SD card connector which is
connected to the High Speed Multimedia Card Interface (HSMCI) of the SAM
V71. SD card connector:

------ ----------------- ---------------------
Configuration Settings
----------------------
Enabling HSMCI support. The SAMV7-XULT provides a one, full-size SD memory card slots. The full size SD card slot connects via HSMCI0. Support for the SD slots can be enabled with the following settings:
System Type->SAMV7 Peripheral Selection
CONFIG_SAMV7_HSMCI0=y : To enable HSMCI0 support
CONFIG_SAMV7_XDMAC=y : XDMAC is needed by HSMCI0/1
System Type
CONFIG_SAMV7_PIO_IRQ=y : PIO interrupts needed
CONFIG_SAMV7_PIOD_IRQ=y : Card detect pin is on PD18
Device Drivers -> MMC/SD Driver Support
CONFIG_MMCSD=y : Enable MMC/SD support
CONFIG_MMSCD_NSLOTS=1 : One slot per driver instance
CONFIG_MMCSD_MULTIBLOCK_DISABLE=y : (REVISIT)
CONFIG_MMCSD_HAVECARDDETECT=y : Supports card-detect PIOs
CONFIG_MMCSD_MMCSUPPORT=n : Interferes with some SD cards
CONFIG_MMCSD_SPI=n : No SPI-based MMC/SD support
CONFIG_MMCSD_SDIO=y : SDIO-based MMC/SD support
CONFIG_SDIO_DMA=y : Use SDIO DMA
CONFIG_SDIO_BLOCKSETUP=y : Needs to know block sizes
RTOS Features -> Work Queue Support
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE=y : Driver needs work queue support
Application Configuration -> NSH Library
CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y : NSH board-initialization, OR
CONFIG_BOARD_INITIALIZE=y
Using the SD card
-----------------
1) After booting, the HSCMI device will appear as /dev/mmcsd0.
2) If you try mounting an SD card with nothing in the slot, the mount will
fail:
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/sd0
nsh: mount: mount failed: 19
NSH can be configured to provide errors as strings instead of
numbers. But in this case, only the error number is reported. The
error numbers can be found in nuttx/include/errno.h:
#define ENODEV 19
#define ENODEV_STR "No such device"
So the mount command is saying that there is no device or, more
correctly, that there is no card in the SD card slot.
3) Inserted the SD card. Then the mount should succeed.
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/sd0
nsh> ls /mnt/sd1
/mnt/sd1:
atest.txt
nsh> cat /mnt/sd1/atest.txt
This is a test
NOTE: See the next section entitled "Auto-Mounter" for another way
to mount your SD card.
4) Before removing the card, you must umount the file system. This is
equivalent to "ejecting" or "safely removing" the card on Windows: It
flushes any cached data to an SD card and makes the SD card unavailable
to the applications.
nsh> umount -t /mnt/sd0
It is now safe to remove the card. NuttX provides into callbacks
that can be used by an application to automatically unmount the
volume when it is removed. But those callbacks are not used in
these configurations.
Auto-Mounter
============
NuttX implements an auto-mounter than can make working with SD cards
easier. With the auto-mounter, the file system will be automatically
mounted when the SD card is inserted into the HSMCI slot and automatically
unmounted when the SD card is removed.
Here is a sample configuration for the auto-mounter:
File System Configuration
CONFIG_FS_AUTOMOUNTER=y
Board-Specific Options
CONFIG_SAMV71XULT_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT=y
CONFIG_SAMV71XULT_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_FSTYPE="vfat"
CONFIG_SAMV71XULT_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_BLKDEV="/dev/mmcsd0"
CONFIG_SAMV71XULT_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_MOUNTPOINT="/mnt/sdcard"
CONFIG_SAMV71XULT_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_DDELAY=1000
CONFIG_SAMV71XULT_HSMCI0_AUTOMOUNT_UDELAY=2000
WARNING: SD cards should never be removed without first unmounting
them. This is to avoid data and possible corruption of the file
system. Certainly this is the case if you are writing to the SD card
at the time of the removal. If you use the SD card for read-only access,
however, then I cannot think of any reason why removing the card without
mounting would be harmful.
LEDs and Buttons
================
LEDs
----
There are two yellow LED available on the SAM V71 Xplained Ultra board that
can be turned on and off. The LEDs can be activated by driving the
connected I/O line to GND.
------ ----------- ---------------------
SAMV71 Function Shared functionality
PIO
------ ----------- ---------------------
PA23 Yellow LED0 EDBG GPIO
PC09 Yellow LED1 LCD, and Shield
------ ----------- ---------------------
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/sam_autoleds.c. The LEDs are used to encode
OS-related events as follows:
------------------- ----------------------- -------- --------
SYMBOL Meaning LED state
LED0 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 No change
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler No change
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed No change
LED_PANIC The system has crashed N/C Blinking
LED_IDLE MCU is is sleep mode Not used
------------------- ----------------------- -------- --------
Thus if LED0 is statically on, NuttX has successfully booted and is,
apparently, running normally. If LED1 is flashing at approximately
2Hz, then a fatal error has been detected and the system has halted.
NOTE: That LED0 is not used after completion of booting and may
be used by other board-specific logic.
Buttons
-------
SAM V71 Xplained Ultra contains three mechanical buttons. One button is the
RESET button connected to the SAM V71 reset line and the others are generic
user configurable buttons. When a button is pressed it will drive the I/O
line to GND.

NOTES:
- There are no pull-up resistors connected to the generic user buttons so
it is necessary to enable the internal pull-up in the SAM V71 to use the
button.
- PB12 is set up as a system flash ERASE pin when the firmware boots. To
use the SW1, PB12 has to be configured as a normal regular I/O pin in
the MATRIX module. For more information see the SAM V71 datasheet.
AT24MAC402 Serial EEPROM
========================
Ethernet MAC Address
--------------------
The SAM V71 Xplained Ultra features one external AT24MAC402 serial EEPROM
with a EIA-48 MAC address connected to the SAM V71 through I2C. This device
contains a MAC address for use with the Ethernet interface.

The 7-bit addresses of the AT24 part are 0b1010AAA for the normal 2Kbit
memory and 0b1011aaa for the "extended memory" where aaa is the state of
the A0, A1, and A3 pins on the part. On the SAMV71-XULT board, these
are all pulled high so the full, 7-bit address is 0x5f.

: Defaults should be okay for other options
Cache-Related Issues
--------------------
I- and D-Caches can be enabled but the D-Cache must be enabled in write-
through mode. This is to work around issues with the RX and TX descriptors
with are 8-bytes in size. But the D-Cache cache line size is 32-bytes.
That means that you cannot reload, clean or invalidate a descriptor without
also effecting three neighboring descriptors. Setting write through mode
eliminates the need for cleaning the D-Cache. If only reloading and
invalidating are done, then there is no problem.
Using the network with NSH
--------------------------
So what can you do with this networking support? First you see that
NSH has several new network related commands:
ifconfig, ifdown, ifup: Commands to help manage your network
get and put: TFTP file transfers
wget: HTML file transfers
ping: Check for access to peers on the network
Telnet console: You can access the NSH remotely via telnet.
You can also enable other add on features like full FTP or a Web
Server or XML RPC and others. There are also other features that
you can enable like DHCP client (or server) or network name
resolution.
By default, the IP address of the SAMA4D4-EK will be 10.0.0.2 and
it will assume that your host is the gateway and has the IP address
10.0.0.1.
nsh> ifconfig
eth0 HWaddr 00:e0:de:ad:be:ef at UP
IPaddr:10.0.0.2 DRaddr:10.0.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
You can use ping to test for connectivity to the host (Careful,
Window firewalls usually block ping-related ICMP traffic). On the
target side, you can:
nsh> ping 10.0.0.1
PING 10.0.0.1 56 bytes of data
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=4 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=5 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=6 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=7 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=8 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=9 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=10 time=0 ms
10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 10100 ms
NOTE: In this configuration is is normal to have packet loss > 0%
the first time you ping due to the default handling of the ARP
table.
On the host side, you should also be able to ping the SAMA4D4-EK:
$ ping 10.0.0.2
You can also log into the NSH from the host PC like this:
$ telnet 10.0.0.2
Trying 10.0.0.2...
Connected to 10.0.0.2.

NOTE: If you enable this feature, you experience a delay on booting.
That is because the start-up logic waits for the network connection
to be established before starting NuttX. In a real application, you
would probably want to do the network bringup on a separate thread
so that access to the NSH prompt is not delayed.
This delay will be especially long if the board is not connected to
a network. On the order of a minute! You will probably think that
NuttX has crashed! And then, when it finally does come up, the
network will not be available.
Network Initialization Thread
-----------------------------
There is a configuration option enabled by CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_THREAD
that will do the NSH network bring-up asynchronously in parallel on
a separate thread. This eliminates the (visible) networking delay
altogether. This networking initialization feature by itself has
some limitations:
- If no network is connected, the network bring-up will fail and
the network initialization thread will simply exit. There are no
retries and no mechanism to know if the network initialization was
successful.
- Furthermore, there is no support for detecting loss of the network
connection and recovery of networking when the connection is restored.
Both of these shortcomings can be eliminated by enabling the network
monitor:
Network Monitor
---------------
By default the network initialization thread will bring-up the network
then exit, freeing all of the resources that it required. This is a
good behavior for systems with limited memory.
If the CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_MONITOR option is selected, however, then the
network initialization thread will persist forever; it will monitor the
network status. In the event that the network goes down (for example, if
a cable is removed), then the thread will monitor the link status and
attempt to bring the network back up. In this case the resources
required for network initialization are never released.
Pre-requisites:
- CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_THREAD as described above.
- CONFIG_NETDEV_PHY_IOCTL. Enable PHY IOCTL commands in the Ethernet
device driver. Special IOCTL commands must be provided by the Ethernet
driver to support certain PHY operations that will be needed for link
management. There operations are not complex and are implemented for
the Atmel SAMV7 family.
- CONFIG_ARCH_PHY_INTERRUPT. This is not a user selectable option.
Rather, it is set when you select a board that supports PHY interrupts.
In most architectures, the PHY interrupt is not associated with the
Ethernet driver at all. Rather, the PHY interrupt is provided via some
board-specific GPIO and the board-specific logic must provide support
for that GPIO interrupt. To do this, the board logic must do two things:
(1) It must provide the function arch_phy_irq() as described and
prototyped in the nuttx/include/nuttx/arch.h, and (2) it must select
CONFIG_ARCH_PHY_INTERRUPT in the board configuration file to advertise
that it supports arch_phy_irq(). This logic can be found at
nuttx/configs/sama5d4-ek/src/sam_ethernet.c.
- And a few other things: UDP support is required (CONFIG_NET_UDP) and
signals must not be disabled (CONFIG_DISABLE_SIGNALS).
Given those prerequisites, the network monitor can be selected with these
additional settings.

maXTouch Xplained Pro
=====================
Testing has also been performed using the maXTouch Xplained Pro LCD
(ATMXT-XPRO).
maXTouch Xplained Pro Standard Extension Header
-----------------------------------------------
The LCD could be connected either via EXT1 or EXT2 using the 2x10 20-pin
cable and the maXTouch Xplained Pro standard extension header. Access would
then be performed in SPI mode.
NOTE: There is currently no support for use of the LCD in SPI mode. See
the next paragraph where the LCD/EXT4 connection is discussion.
NOTE the 3 switch mode selector on the back of the maXtouch. All switches
should be in the ON position to select 4-wire SPI mode.

------------------------------------------------
It is also possible to connect the LCD via the flat cable to the EXT4 LCD
connector. In this case, you would use the SMC/EBI to communicate with the
LCD.
NOTE: (1) Only the parallel interface is supported by the SAMV71-XULT and (2)
the 3 switch mode selector on the back of the maXtouch. These switches should
be in the OFF-ON-OFF positions to select 16-bit color mode.

Connecting the flat cable. I was embarrassed to say that I did not know how
the connectors worked. Let me share this so that, perhaps, I can save you
the same embarrassment:
- The maXTouch Xplained Pro has an Omron XF2M-5015-1A connector. There is a
black bar at back (toward the baord). Raise that bar and insert the cable
with the contacts away from the board. Lower that bar to lock the cable
in place.
- The SAMV71-Xult has a TE Connectivity 5-1734839-0 FPC connector that works
differently. On each size of the connector are two small white tabs. Pull
these out and away from the board. Insert the ribbon with the contacts
toward the board. Lock the cable in place by pushing the tabs back in
place.

Debugging
=========
The on-board EDBG appears to work only with Atmel Studio. You can however,
simply connect a SAM-ICE or J-Link to the JTAG/SWD connector on the board
and that works great. The only tricky thing is getting the correct
orientation of the JTAG connection.
I have been using Atmel Studio to write code to flash then I use the Segger
J-Link GDB server to debug. I have been using the 'Device Programming' I
available under the Atmel Studio 'Tool' menu. I have to disconnect the
SAM-ICE while programming with the EDBG. I am sure that you could come up
with a GDB server-only solution if you wanted.
I run GDB like this from the directory containing the NuttX ELF file:
arm-none-eabi-gdb
(gdb) target remote localhost:2331
(gdb) mon reset
(gdb) file nuttx
(gdb) ... start debugging ...
Configurations
==============
Information Common to All Configurations
----------------------------------------
Each SAMV71-XULT configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:
cd tools
./configure.sh samv71-xult/<subdir>
cd -
. ./setenv.sh
Before sourcing the setenv.sh file above, you should examine it and perform
edits as necessary so that TOOLCHAIN_BIN is 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 oldconfig
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
and misc/tools/
b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
reconfiguration process.
2. Unless stated otherwise, all configurations generate console
output on UART3 (i.e., for the Arduino serial shield).
3. All of these configurations are set up to build under Windows using the
"GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors" that is maintained by ARM
(unless stated otherwise in the description of the configuration).
https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded
As of this writing (2015-03-11), full support is difficult to find
for the Cortex-M&, but is supported by at least this realeasse of
the ARM GNU tools:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/192228215/release.txt
That toolchain selection can easily be reconfigured using
'make menuconfig'. Here are the relevant current settings:
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Window environment
CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : Cywin under Windows
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIW=y : GNU ARM EABI toolchain
NOTE: As of this writing, there are issues with using this tool at
the -Os level of optimization. This has not been proven to be a
compiler issue (as least not one that might not be fixed with a
well placed volatile qualifier). However, in any event, it is
recommend that you use not more that -O2 optimization.
Configuration sub-directories
-----------------------------
mxtxplnd:
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh. There are three
very similar NSH configurations:
- nsh. This configuration is focused on low level, command-line
driver testing. It has no network.
- netnsh. This configuration is focused on network testing and
has only limited command support.
- mxtxplnd. This configuration is identical to the nsh configuration
but assumes that you have a maXTouch Xplained Pro LCD attached
and includes extra tests for the touchscreen and LCD.
NOTES:
1. See the notes associated with the nsh configuration below. Only
differences from that configuration will be addressed here.
2. Basic touchscreen/LCD configuration settings are discussed above in
the paragraph entitled, "maXTouch Xplained Pro".
3. Unlike the nsh configuration, this configuration has the serial console
setup to USART0 which is available on EXT1:
----------- --- ------- -----
Connector PIO Arduino SAMV7
----------- --- ------- -----
EXT1 pin 13 PB0 RX3 RXD0
EXT1 pin 14 PB1 TX3 TXD0
----------- --- ------- -----
and also on the Arduino Communications connector (J505):
----------- --- ------- -----
Connector PIO Arduino SAMV7
----------- --- ------- -----
J505 pin 7 PB0 RX3 RXD0
J505 pin 8 PB1 TX3 TXD0
----------- --- ------- -----
Use of either the EXT1 or the LCD/EXT4 connectors conflict with the
Arduino RXD pin (UART3, PD28). You cannot put the maXTouch Xplained
in EXT1 or LCD/EXT4 and also use the Arduino RXD/TXD pins as your
serial console.
The LCD (EXT4) is configured by default because only the parallel LCD
interface is currently supported and that is only available on that
connector.
If you plan to use EXT2 for some reason, you may re-configure the
serial console to use UART3, the standard Arduino RXD/TXD. You
would also, of course, have to disable the LCD.
NOTE that the USART0 pins PB0 and PB1 conflict with SSC TF and TK
pins as connected to the WM8904 audio CODEC. So, unless yet a
different U[S]ART option is selected, Audio cannot be used with
this configuration.
4. SDRAM is NOT enabled in this configuration.
5. Support for the ILI8488 LCD is enabled. Only the parallel mode is
supported at present. As a consequence, the maXTouch Xplained Pro
must be connected at the LCD (EXT4) connector. This mode requires:
CONFIG_SAMV71XULT_MXTXPLND_LCD=y : Must be connect in LCD (EXT4)
CONFIG_SAMV7_SMC=y : SMC/EBI support
CONFIG_SAMV7_XDMAC=y : XDMAC support
6. The appx/examples/nxlines is enabled as a built-in application.
This is a test that displays some simple graphis and can be
executed from the NSH command line like:
nsh> nxlines
7. When the maXTouch Xplained is connected (in any position), a new I2C
address appears at address 0x4a:
nsh> i2c dev 3 77
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 1a -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 28 -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 37 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 4a -- -- -- 4e --
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 57 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 5f
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
This is the I2C address of the maXTouch touchscreen controller.
(0x1a is the address of the WM8904 Audio CODEC, 0x28 is the
address of TWI interface to the EDBG, 0x4e is the address of the
CP2100CP programmable PLL, and 0x57 and 0x5f are the addresses of
the AT2 EEPROM. I am not sure what the other address, 0x37, is).
8. Support for the touchscreen test is enabled (see apps/examples/touchscreen),
however, the maXTouch is not yet working (see STATUS below).
STATUS:
2015-04-05: Partial support for the maXTouch Xplained Pro LCD is in
place. The ILI9488-based LCD is working well with a SMC DMA-based
interface. Very nice performance.
However, the maXTouch touchscreen driver is not working. I tried
re-using the maXTouch driver that was used with the SAMA5D4-EK
TM7000 LCD, but the maXTouch Xplained Pro has a different maXTouch
part. The driver claims that all operations are success, but
there are no interrupts signalling touch event. I assume that the
different maXTouch part is not being configured correctly but there
is no available technical documentation or sample code to debug
with.
netnsh:
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh. There are three
very similar NSH configurations:
- nsh. This configuration is focused on low level, command-line
driver testing. It has no network.
- netnsh. This configuration is focused on network testing and
has only limited command support.
- mxtxplnd. This configuration is identical to the nsh configuration
but assumes that you have a maXTouch Xplained Pro LCD attached
and includes extra tests for the touchscreen and LCD.
NOTES:
1. The serial console is configured by default for use with and Arduino
serial shield (UART3). You will need to reconfigure if you will
to use a different U[S]ART.
2. Default stack sizes are large and should really be tuned to reduce
the RAM footprint:
CONFIG_SCHED_HPWORKSTACKSIZE=2048
CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE=1024
CONFIG_USERMAIN_STACKSIZE=2048
CONFIG_PTHREAD_STACK_MIN=256
CONFIG_PTHREAD_STACK_DEFAULT=2048
CONFIG_POSIX_SPAWN_PROXY_STACKSIZE=1024
CONFIG_TASK_SPAWN_DEFAULT_STACKSIZE=2048
CONFIG_BUILTIN_PROXY_STACKSIZE=1024
CONFIG_NSH_TELNETD_DAEMONSTACKSIZE=2048
CONFIG_NSH_TELNETD_CLIENTSTACKSIZE=2048
3. NSH built-in applications are supported. There are, however, not
enabled built-in applications.
Binary Formats:
CONFIG_BUILTIN=y : Enable support for built-in programs
Application Configuration:
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y : Enable starting apps from NSH command line
4. The network initialization thread is NOT enabled in this configuration.
As a result, networking initialization is performed serially with
NSH bring-up. The time from reset to the NSH prompt will be determined
primarily by this network initialization time. And can be especially
long, perhaps minutes, if the network cable is not connected!
If fast boot times are required, you need to perform asynchronous
network initialization as described under "Network Initialization Thread"
5. SDRAM is NOT enabled in this configuration.
6. TWI/I2C
TWIHS0 is enabled in this configuration. The SAM V71 Xplained Ultra
supports two devices on the one on-board I2C device on the TWIHS0 bus:
(1) The AT24MAC402 serial EEPROM described above and (2) the Wolfson
WM8904 audio CODEC. This device contains a MAC address for use with
the Ethernet interface.
Relevant configuration settings:
CONFIG_SAMV7_TWIHS0=y
CONFIG_SAMV7_TWIHS0_FREQUENCY=100000
CONFIG_I2C=y
CONFIG_I2C_TRANSFER=y
7. TWIHS0 is used to support 256 byte non-volatile storage. This EEPROM
holds the assigned MAC address which is necessary for networking. The
EEPROM is also available for storage of configuration data using the
MTD configuration as described above under the heading, "MTD
Configuration Data".
8. Support for HSMCI is built-in by default. The SAMV71-XULT provides
one full-size SD memory card slot. Refer to the section entitled
"SD card" for configuration-related information.
See "Open Issues" above for issues related to HSMCI.
The auto-mounter is not enabled. See the section above entitled
"Auto-Mounter".
9. Performance-related Configuration settings:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_ICACHE=y : Instruction cache is enabled
CONFIG_ARMV7M_DCACHE=y : Data cache is enabled
CONFIG_ARMV7M_DCACHE_WRITETHROUGH=y : Write through mode
CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y : H/W floating point support is enabled
CONFIG_ARCH_DPFPU=y : 64-bit H/W floating point support is enabled
# CONFIG_ARMV7M_ITCM is not set : Support not yet in place
# CONFIG_ARMV7M_DTCM is not set : Support not yet in place
I- and D-Caches are enabled but the D-Cache must be enabled in write-
through mode. This is to work around issues with the RX and TX
descriptors with are 8-bytes in size. But the D-Cache cache line
size is 32-bytes. That means that you cannot reload, clean or
invalidate a descriptor without also effecting three neighboring
descriptors. Setting write through mode eliminates the need for
cleaning the D-Cache. If only reloading and invalidating are done,
then there is no problem.
Stack sizes are also large to simplify the bring-up and should be
tuned for better memory usages.
STATUS:
2015-03-29: I- and D-caches are currently enabled, but as noted
above, the D-Cache must be enabled in write-through mode. Also -Os
optimization is not being used (-O2). If the cache is enabled in
Write-Back mode or if higher levels of optimization are enabled, then
there are failures when trying to ping the target from a host.
nsh:
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh. There are three
very similar NSH configurations:
- nsh. This configuration is focused on low level, command-line
driver testing. It has no network.
- netnsh. This configuration is focused on network testing and
has only limited command support.
- mxtxplnd. This configuration is identical to the nsh configuration
but assumes that you have a maXTouch Xplained Pro LCD attached
and includes extra tests for the touchscreen and LCD.
NOTES:
1. The serial console is configured by default for use with and Arduino
serial shield (UART3). You will need to reconfigure if you will
to use a different U[S]ART.
2. Default stack sizes are large and should really be tuned to reduce
the RAM footprint:
CONFIG_ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK=2048
CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE=1024
CONFIG_USERMAIN_STACKSIZE=2048
CONFIG_PTHREAD_STACK_DEFAULT=2048
... and others ...
3. NSH built-in applications are supported.
Binary Formats:
CONFIG_BUILTIN=y : Enable support for built-in programs
Application Configuration:
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y : Enable starting apps from NSH command line
4. SDRAM is enabled in this configuration. Here are the relevant
configuration settings:
System Type
CONFIG_SAMV7_SDRAMC=y
CONFIG_SAMV7_SDRAMSIZE=2097152
SDRAM is not added to the heap in this configuration. To do that
you would need to set CONFIG_SAMV7_SDRAMHEAP=y and CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=2.
Instead, the SDRAM is set up so that is can be used with a destructive
RAM test enabled with this option:
Application Configuration:
CONFIG_SYSTEM_RAMTEST=y
The RAM test can be executed as follows:
nsh> ramtest -w 70000000 2097152
NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-7.8
nsh> ramtest -w 70000000 2097152
RAMTest: Marching ones: 70000000 2097152
RAMTest: Marching zeroes: 70000000 2097152

5. The button test at apps/examples/buttons is included in the
configuration. This configuration illustrates (1) use of the buttons
on the evaluation board, and (2) the use of PIO interrupts. Example
usage:

6. TWI/I2C
TWIHS0 is enabled in this configuration. The SAM V71 Xplained Ultra
supports two devices on the one on-board I2C device on the TWIHS0 bus:
(1) The AT24MAC402 serial EEPROM described above and (2) the Wolfson
WM8904 audio CODEC. This device contains a MAC address for use with
the Ethernet interface.
In this configuration, the I2C tool at apps/system/i2ctool is
enabled. This tools supports interactive access to I2C devices on
the enabled TWIHS bus. Relevant configuration settings:
CONFIG_SAMV7_TWIHS0=y
CONFIG_SAMV7_TWIHS0_FREQUENCY=100000
CONFIG_I2C=y
CONFIG_I2C_TRANSFER=y
CONFIG_SYSTEM_I2CTOOL=y

Example usage:
nsh> i2c
Usage: i2c <cmd> [arguments]
Where <cmd> is one of:
Show help : ?
List busses : bus
List devices : dev [OPTIONS] <first> <last>
Read register : get [OPTIONS] [<repititions>]
Show help : help
Write register: set [OPTIONS] <value> [<repititions>]
Verify access : verf [OPTIONS] [<value>] [<repititions>]
Where common "sticky" OPTIONS include:
[-a addr] is the I2C device address (hex). Default: 03 Current: 03
[-b bus] is the I2C bus number (decimal). Default: 0 Current: 0
[-r regaddr] is the I2C device register address (hex). Default: 00 Current: 00
[-w width] is the data width (8 or 16 decimal). Default: 8 Current: 8
[-s|n], send/don't send start between command and data. Default: -n Current: -n
[-i|j], Auto increment|don't increment regaddr on repititions. Default: NO Current: NO
[-f freq] I2C frequency. Default: 400000 Current: 400000
NOTES:
o An environment variable like $PATH may be used for any argument.
o Arguments are "sticky". For example, once the I2C address is
specified, that address will be re-used until it is changed.
WARNING:
o The I2C dev command may have bad side effects on your I2C devices.
Use only at your own risk.

Where 0x1a is the address of the WM8904 Audio CODEC, 0x28 is the
address of TWI interface to the EDBG, 0x4e is the address of the
CP2100CP programmable PLL, and 0x57 and 0x5f are the addresses of
the AT2 EEPROM (I am not sure what the other address, 0x37, is
as this writing).
7. TWIHS0 is also used to support 256 byte non-volatile storage for
configuration data using the MTD configuration as described above
under the heading, "MTD Configuration Data".
8. Support for HSMCI is built-in by default. The SAMV71-XULT provides
one full-size SD memory card slot. Refer to the section entitled
"SD card" for configuration-related information.
See "Open Issues" above for issues related to HSMCI.
The auto-mounter is not enabled. See the section above entitled
"Auto-Mounter".
9. Performance-related Configuration settings:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_ICACHE=y : Instruction cache is enabled
CONFIG_ARMV7M_DCACHE=y : Data cache is enabled
CONFIG_ARMV7M_DCACHE_WRITETHROUGH=n : Write back mode
CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y : H/W floating point support is enabled
CONFIG_ARCH_DPFPU=y : 64-bit H/W floating point support is enabled
# CONFIG_ARMV7M_ITCM is not set : Support not yet in place
# CONFIG_ARMV7M_DTCM is not set : Support not yet in place
Stack sizes are also large to simplify the bring-up and should be
tuned for better memory usages.
STATUS:
2015-03-28: HSMCI TX DMA is disabled. There are some issues with the TX
DMA that need to be corrected.
