README
^^^^^^
This README discusses issues unique to NuttX configurations for the Atmel
SAM3U-EK development board featuring the ATAM3U. This board features the
ATSAM3U4E MCU running at 96MHz.
Contents
^^^^^^^^
- AtmelStudio 6.1
- LEDs
- Serial Console
- SAM3U-EK-specific Configuration Options
- Configurations
AtmelStudio 6.1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can use AtmelStudio6.1 to load and debug code.
- To load code:
Tools -> Device Programming
Configure the debugger and chip and you are in business.
- To Debug Code:
File -> Open -> Open Object File for Debugging
Select the project name, the full path to the NuttX object (called
just nuttx with no extension), and chip. Take the time to resolve
all of the source file linkages or else you will not have source
level debug!
LEDs
^^^^
The SAM3U-EK board has four LEDs labeled LD1, LD2, LD3 and LD4 on the
the board. Usage of these LEDs is defined in include/board.h and src/up_leds.c.
They are encoded as follows:
SYMBOL Meaning LED0* LED1 LED2
------------------- ----------------------- ------- ------- -------
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started OFF OFF OFF
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF OFF ON
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled OFF ON OFF
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created OFF ON ON
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt** N/C FLASH N/C
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler*** N/C N/C FLASH
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed FLASH N/C N/C
LED_PANIC The system has crashed FLASH N/C N/C
* If LED1 and LED2 are statically on, then NuttX probably failed to boot
and these LEDs will give you some indication of where the failure was
** The normal state is LED0=OFF, LED2=ON and LED1 faintly glowing. This faint
glow is because of timer interrupts that result in the LED being illuminated
on a small proportion of the time.
*** LED2 may also flicker normally if signals are processed.
Serial Console
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By default, all of these configurations use UART0 for the NuttX serial
console. UART0 corresponds to the DB-9 connector labelled "UART". This
is a male connector and will require a female-to-female, NUL modem cable
to connect to a PC.
An alternate is USART1 which connects to the other DB-9 connector labeled
"USART". USART1 is not enabled by default unless specifically noted
otherwise in the configuration description. A NUL modem cable must be
used with the port as well.
NOTE: One of the USART1 pins is shared with the audio CODEC. The audio
CODEC cannot be used of USART1 is enabled.
By default serial console is configured for 115000, 8-bit, 1 stop bit, and
no parity.
SAM3U-EK-specific Configuration Options

support a 320x240 "Landscape" orientation.
Configurations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Information Common to All Configurations
----------------------------------------
Each SAM3U-EK configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:
tools/configure.sh sam3u-ek/<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 UART0 (J3).
3. Unless otherwise stated, the configurations are setup for
Linux (or any other POSIX environment like Cygwin under Windows):
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y : Linux or other POSIX environment
4. All of these configurations use the older, OABI, buildroot 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_LINUX=y : Linux or other pure POSIX invironment
: (including Cygwin)
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : Buildroot toolchain
CONFIG_ARMV7M_OABI_TOOLCHAIN=y : Older, OABI toolchain
If you want to use the Atmel GCC toolchain, for example, here are the
steps to do so:
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Windows
CONFIG_HOST_CYGWIN=y : Using Cygwin or other POSIX environment
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIW=y : General GCC EABI toolchain under windows
Library Routines ->
CONFIG_CXX_NEWLONG=n : size_t is an unsigned int, not long
This 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 call
"GNU Toolchain Options" above.
Configuration sub-directories
-----------------------------
knsh:
This is identical to the nsh configuration below except that NuttX
is built as a kernel-mode, monolithic module and the user applications
are built separately. It is recommends to use a special make command;
not just 'make' but make with the following two arguments:
make pass1 pass2
In the normal case (just 'make'), make will attempt to build both user-
and kernel-mode blobs more or less interleaved. This actual works!
However, for me it is very confusing so I prefer the above make command:
Make the user-space binaries first (pass1), then make the kernel-space
binaries (pass2)
NOTES:
1. At the end of the build, there will be several files in the top-level
NuttX build directory:
PASS1:
nuttx_user.elf - The pass1 user-space ELF file
nuttx_user.hex - The pass1 Intel HEX format file (selected in defconfig)
User.map - Symbols in the user-space ELF file
PASS2:
nuttx - The pass2 kernel-space ELF file
nuttx.hex - The pass2 Intel HEX file (selected in defconfig)
System.map - Symbols in the kernel-space ELF file
The J-Link programmer will except files in .hex, .mot, .srec, and .bin
formats.
2. Combining .hex files. If you plan to use the .hex files with your
debugger or FLASH utility, then you may need to combine the two hex
files into a single .hex file. Here is how you can do that.
a. The 'tail' of the nuttx.hex file should look something like this
(with my comments added):
$ tail nuttx.hex
# 00, data records
...
:10 9DC0 00 01000000000800006400020100001F0004
:10 9DD0 00 3B005A0078009700B500D400F300110151
:08 9DE0 00 30014E016D0100008D
# 05, Start Linear Address Record
:04 0000 05 0800 0419 D2
# 01, End Of File record
:00 0000 01 FF
Use an editor such as vi to remove the 05 and 01 records.
b. The 'head' of the nuttx_user.hex file should look something like
this (again with my comments added):
$ head nuttx_user.hex
# 04, Extended Linear Address Record
:02 0000 04 0801 F1
# 00, data records
:10 8000 00 BD89 01084C800108C8110208D01102087E
:10 8010 00 0010 00201C1000201C1000203C16002026
:10 8020 00 4D80 01085D80010869800108ED83010829
...
Nothing needs to be done here. The nuttx_user.hex file should
be fine.
c. Combine the edited nuttx.hex and un-edited nuttx_user.hex
file to produce a single combined hex file:
$ cat nuttx.hex nuttx_user.hex >combined.hex
Then use the combined.hex file with the to write the FLASH image.
If you do this a lot, you will probably want to invest a little time
to develop a tool to automate these steps.
nsh:
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh. The
Configuration enables both the serial and telnetd NSH interfaces.
NOTES:
1. NSH built-in applications are supported. However, there are
no built-in applications built with the default configuration.
Binary Formats:
CONFIG_BUILTIN=y : Enable support for built-in programs
Applicaton Configuration:
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y : Enable starting apps from NSH command line
2. This configuration has been used for verifying the touchscreen on
on the SAM3U-EK LCD. With these modifications, you can include the
touchscreen test program at apps/examples/touchscreen as an NSH built-in
application. You can enable the touchscreen and test by modifying the
default configuration in the following ways:
Device Drivers
CONFIG_SPI=y : Enable SPI support
CONFIG_SPI_EXCHANGE=y : The exchange() method is supported
CONFIG_INPUT=y : Enable support for input devices
CONFIG_INPUT_ADS7843E=y : Enable support for the XPT2046
CONFIG_ADS7843E_SPIDEV=2 : Use SPI CS 2 for communication
CONFIG_ADS7843E_SPIMODE=0 : Use SPI mode 0
CONFIG_ADS7843E_FREQUENCY=1000000 : SPI BAUD 1MHz
CONFIG_ADS7843E_SWAPXY=y : If landscpe orientation
CONFIG_ADS7843E_THRESHX=51 : These will probably need to be tuned
CONFIG_ADS7843E_THRESHY=39
System Type -> Peripherals:
CONFIG_SAM34_SPI0=y : Enable support for SPI
System Type:
CONFIG_SAM34_GPIO_IRQ=y : GPIO interrupt support
CONFIG_SAM34_GPIOA_IRQ=y : Enable GPIO interrupts from port A
Library Support:
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE=y : Work queue support required
Applicaton Configuration:
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_TOUCHSCREEN=y : Enable the touchscreen built-int test
Defaults should be okay for related touchscreen settings. Touchscreen
debug output on UART0 can be enabled with:
Build Setup:
CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES=y : Enable debug features
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y : Enable verbose debug output
CONFIG_DEBUG_INPUT=y : Enable debug output from input devices
3. Enabling HSMCI support. The SAM3U-KE provides a an SD memory card
slot. Support for the SD slot can be enabled with the following
settings:
System Type->ATSAM3/4 Peripheral Support
CONFIG_SAM34_HSMCI=y : Enable HSMCI support
CONFIG_SAM34_DMAC0=y : DMAC support is needed by HSMCI
System Type
CONFIG_SAM34_GPIO_IRQ=y : PIO interrupts needed
CONFIG_SAM34_GPIOA_IRQ=y : Card detect pin is on PIOA
Device Drivers -> MMC/SD Driver Support
CONFIG_MMCSD=y : Enable MMC/SD support
CONFIG_MMSCD_NSLOTS=1 : One slot per driver instance
CONFIG_MMCSD_HAVE_CARDDETECT=y : Supports card-detect PIOs
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
Library Routines
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE=y : Driver needs work queue support
Application Configuration -> NSH Library
CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y : NSH board-initialization
STATUS:
2013-6-28: The touchscreen is functional.
2013-6-29: Hmmm... but there appear to be conditions when the
touchscreen driver locks up. Looks like some issue with
managing the interrupts.
2013-6-30: Those lock-ups appear to be due to poorly placed
debug output statements. If you do not enable debug output,
the touchscreen is rock-solid.
2013-8-10: Added the comments above above enabling HSMCI memory
card support and verified that the configuration builds without
error. However, that configuration has not yet been tested (and
is may even be incomplete).
nx:
Configures to use examples/nx using the HX834x LCD hardware on
the SAM3U-EK development board.
nxwm:
This is a special configuration setup for the NxWM window manager
UnitTest. It includes support for both the HX834x LCD and the
ADS7843E touchscreen controller on board the SAM3U-EK board.
The NxWM window manager is a tiny window manager tailored for use
with smaller LCDs. It supports a toolchain, a start window, and
multiple application windows. However, to make the best use of
the visible LCD space, only one application window is visiable at
at time.
The NxWM window manager can be found here:
apps/graphics/NxWidgets/nxwm
The NxWM unit test can be found at:
apps/graphics/NxWidgets/UnitTests/nxwm
STATUS:
1. 2013-6-28: Created the configuration but have not yet done
anything with it.
2. 2013-6-29: Various changes to get a clean build of this
configuration. Still untested.
3. 20113-6-30: I cannot load this program using AtmelStudio6.1.
The total size with DEBUG on is 138.9 KB. I have verified
that the first 128KB may have been written correctly, but then
the code above 128KB wraps and overwrites the code at the
beginning of FLASH, trashing the FLASH images.
Bottom line: Still untested.
