Serial Console
--------------
The LPC1766-STK board has two serial connectors. One, RS232_0, connects to
the LPC1766 UART0. This is the DB-9 connector next to the power connector.
The other RS232_1, connect to the LPC1766 UART1. This is he DB-9 connector
next to the Ethernet connector.
Simple UART1 is the more flexible UART and since the needs for a serial
console are minimal, the more minimal UART0/RS232_0 is used for the NuttX
system console. Of course, this can be changed by editting the NuttX
configuration file as discussed below.
The serial console is configured as follows (57600 8N1):
BAUD: 57600
Number of Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
You will need to connect a monitor program (Hyperterminal, Tera Term,
minicom, whatever) to UART0/RS232_0 and configure the serial port as
shown above.
NOTE: The ostest example works fine at 115200, but the other configurations
have problems at that rate (probably because they use the interrupt driven
serial driver). Other LPC17xx boards with the same clocking will run at
115200.
LCD
---
The LPC1766-STK has a Nokia 6100 132x132 LCD and either a Phillips PCF8833
or an Epson S1D15G10 LCD controller. The NuttX configuration may have to
be adjusted depending on which controller is used with the LCD. The
"LPC1766-STK development board Users Manual" states tha the board features
a "LCD NOKIA 6610 128x128 x12bit color TFT with Epson LCD controller."
But, referring to a different Olimex board, "Nokia 6100 LCD Display
Driver," Revision 1, James P. Lynch ("Nokia 6100 LCD Display Driver.pdf")
says:
"The major irritant in using this display is identifying the graphics
controller; there are two possibilities (Epson S1D15G00 or Philips
PCF8833). The LCD display sold by the German Web Shop Jelu has a Leadis
LDS176 controller but it is 100% compatible with the Philips PCF8833).
So how do you tell which controller you have? Some message boards have
suggested that the LCD display be disassembled and the controller chip
measured with a digital caliper <20> well that<61>s getting a bit extreme.
"Here<72>s what I know. The Olimex boards have both display controllers
possible; if the LCD has a GE-12 sticker on it, it<69>s a Philips PCF8833.
If it has a GE-8 sticker, it<69>s an Epson controller. The older Sparkfun
6100 displays were Epson, their web site indicates that the newer ones
are an Epson clone. Sparkfun software examples sometimes refer to the
Philips controller so the whole issue has become a bit murky. The
trading companies in Honk Kong have no idea what is inside the displays
they are selling. A Nokia 6100 display that I purchased from Hong Kong
a couple of weeks ago had the Philips controller."
The LCD connects to the LPC1766 via SPI and two GPIOs. The two GPIOs are
noted above:
P1.21 is the SPI chip select, and
P3.25 is the LCD reset
P3.26 is PWM1 output used to control the backlight intensity.
MISO0 and MOSI0 are join via a 1K ohm resistor so the LCD appears to be
write only.
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 has been modified to support the following different
toolchain options.
1. The CodeSourcery GNU toolchain,
2. The devkitARM GNU toolchain,
3. The NuttX buildroot Toolchain (see below).
All testing has been conducted using the NuttX buildroot toolchain. However,
the make system is setup to default to use the devkitARM toolchain. To use
the CodeSourcery or devkitARM toolchain, you simply need add one of the
following configuration options to your .config (or defconfig) file:
CONFIG_LPC17_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows
CONFIG_LPC17_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux
CONFIG_LPC17_DEVKITARM=y : devkitARM under Windows
CONFIG_LPC17_BUILDROOT=y : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin (default)
If you are not using CONFIG_LPC17_BUILDROOT, then you may also have to modify
the PATH in the setenv.h file if your make cannot find the tools.
NOTE: the CodeSourcery (for Windows)and devkitARM are Windows native toolchains.
The CodeSourcey (for Linux) and NuttX buildroot toolchains are Cygwin and/or
Linux native toolchains. There are several limitations to using a Windows based
toolchain in a Cygwin environment. The three biggest 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.
3. Dependencies are not made when using Windows versions of the GCC. This is
because the dependencies are generated using Windows pathes which do not
work with the Cygwin make.
Support has been added for making dependencies with the windows-native toolchains.
That support can be enabled by modifying your Make.defs file as follows:
- MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mknulldeps.sh
+ MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mkdeps.sh --winpaths "$(TOPDIR)"
If you have problems with the dependency build (for example, if you are not
building on C:), then you may need to modify tools/mkdeps.sh
NOTE 1: The CodeSourcery toolchain (2009q1) does not work with default optimization
level of -Os (See Make.defs). It will work with -O0, -O1, or -O2, but not with
-Os.
NOTE 2: The devkitARM toolchain includes a version of MSYS make. Make sure that
the paths to Cygwin's /bin and /usr/bin directories appear BEFORE the devkitARM
path or will get the wrong version of make.
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 (There is a simple RIDE project
in the RIDE subdirectory).
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 pathes: You will need include/, arch/arm/src/lpc17xx,
arch/arm/src/common, arch/arm/src/armv7-m, 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/lpc17x/lpc17_vectors.S.
NuttX buildroot Toolchain
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A GNU GCC-based toolchain is assumed. The files */setenv.sh 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
SourceForge download site (https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189573).
This GNU toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin environment.
1. You must have already configured Nuttx in <some-dir>/nuttx.
cd tools
./configure.sh olimex-lpc1766stk/<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 configs/cortexm3-defconfig-4.3.3 .config
6. make oldconfig
7. make
8. Edit setenv.h, if necessary, so that the PATH variable includes
the path to the newly built binaries.
See the file configs/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.
NOTE: This is an OABI toolchain.
LEDs
^^^^
If CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is defined, then support for the LPC1766-STK LEDs will be
included in the build. See:
- configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/include/board.h - Defines LED constants, types and
prototypes the LED interface functions.
- configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/src/lpc1766stk_internal.h - GPIO settings for the LEDs.
- configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/src/up_leds.c - LED control logic.
The LPC1766-STK has two LEDs. If CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is defined, these LEDs will
be controlled as follows for NuttX debug functionality (where NC means "No Change").
Basically,
LED1:
- OFF means that the OS is still initializing. Initialization is very fast so
if you see this at all, it probably means that the system is hanging up
somewhere in the initialization phases.
- ON means that the OS completed initialization.
- Glowing means that the LPC17 is running in a reduced power mode: LED1 is
turned off when the processor enters sleep mode and back on when it wakesup
up.
LED2:
- ON/OFF toggles means that various events are happening.
- GLowing: LED2 is turned on and off on every interrupt so even timer interrupts
should cause LED2 to glow faintly in the normal case.
- Flashing. If the LED2 is flashing at about 2Hz, that means that a crash
has occurred. If CONFIG_ARCH_STACKDUMP=y, you will get some diagnostic
information on the console to help debug what happened.
NOTE: LED2 is controlled by a jumper labeled: ACC_IRQ/LED2. That jump must be
in the LED2 position in order to support LED2.
LED1 LED2 Meaning
------- -------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
OFF OFF Still initializing and there is no interrupt activity.
Initialization is very fast so if you see this, it probably means
that the system is hung up somewhere in the initialization phases.
OFF Glowing Still initializing (see above) but taking interrupts.
OFF ON This would mean that (1) initialization did not complete but the
software is hung, perhaps in an infinite loop, somewhere inside
of an interrupt handler.
OFF Flashing Ooops! We crashed before finishing initialization (or, perhaps
after initialization, during an interrupt while the LPC17xx was
sleeping -- see below).
ON OFF The system has completed initialization, but is apparently not taking
any interrupts.
ON Glowing The OS successfully initialized and is taking interrupts (but, for
some reason, is never entering a reduced power mode -- perhaps the
CPU is very busy?).
ON ON This would mean that (1) the OS complete initialization, but (2)
the software is hung, perhaps in an infinite loop, somewhere inside
of a signal or interrupt handler.
Glowing Glowing This is also a normal healthy state: The OS successfully initialized,
is running in reduced power mode, but taking interrupts. The glow
is very faint and you may have to dim the lights to see that LEDs are
active at all! See note below.
ON Flashing Ooops! We crashed sometime after initialization.
NOTE: In glowing/glowing case, you get some good subjective information about the
behavior of your system by looking at the level of the LED glow (or better, by
connecting O-Scope and calculating the actual duty):
1. The intensity of the glow is determined by the duty of LED on/off toggle --
as the ON period becomes larger with respect the OFF period, the LED will
glow more brightly.
2. LED2 is turned ON when entering an interrupt and turned OFF when returning from
the interrupt. A brighter LED2 means that the system is spending more time in
interrupt handling.
3. LED1 is turned OFF just before the processor goes to sleep. The processor
sleeps until awakened by an interrupt. LED1 is turned back ON after the
processor is re-awakened -- actually after returning from the interrupt that
cause the processor to re-awaken (LED1 will be off during the execution of
that interrupt). So a brighter LED1 means that the processor is spending
less time sleeping.
When my STM32 sits IDLE -- doing absolutely nothing but processing timer interrupts --
I see the following:
1. LED1 glows dimly due to the timer interrupts.
2. But LED2 is even more dim! The LED ON time excludes the time processing the
interrupt that re-awakens the processing. So this tells me that the STM32 is
spending more time processing timer interrupts than doing any other kind of
processing. That, of course, makes sense if the system is truly idle and only
processing timer interrupts.
Using OpenOCD and GDB with an FT2232 JTAG emulator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Downloading OpenOCD
You can get information about OpenOCD here: http://openocd.berlios.de/web/
and you can download it from here. http://sourceforge.net/projects/openocd/files/.
To get the latest OpenOCD with more mature lpc17xx, you have to download
from the GIT archive.
git clone git://openocd.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openocd/openocd
At present, there is only the older, frozen 0.4.0 version. These, of course,
may have changed since I wrote this.
Building OpenOCD under Cygwin:
You can build OpenOCD for Windows using the Cygwin tools. Below are a
few notes that worked as of November 7, 2010. Things may have changed
by the time you read this, but perhaps the following will be helpful to
you:
1. Install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). My recommendation is to install
everything. There are many tools you will need and it is best just to
waste a little disk space and have everthing you need. Everything will
require a couple of gigbytes of disk space.
2. Create a directory /home/OpenOCD.
3. Get the FT2232 drivr from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm and
extract it into /home/OpenOCD/ftd2xx
$ pwd
/home/OpenOCD
$ ls
CDM20802 WHQL Certified.zip
$ mkdir ftd2xx
$ cd ftd2xx
$ unzip ..CDM20802\ WHQL\ Certified.zip
Archive: CDM20802 WHQL Certified.zip
...
3. Get the latest OpenOCD source
$ pwd
/home/OpenOCD
$ git clone git://openocd.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openocd/openocd
You will then have the source code in /home/OpenOCD/openocd
4. Build OpenOCD for the FT22322 interface
$ pwd
/home/OpenOCD/openocd
$ ./bootstrap
Jim is a tiny version of the Tcl scripting language. It is needed
by more recent versions of OpenOCD. Build libjim.a using the following
instructions:
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ cd jimtcl
$ ./configure --with-jim-ext=nvp
$ make
$ make install
Configure OpenOCD:
$ ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-werror --disable-shared \
--enable-ft2232_ftd2xx --with-ftd2xx-win32-zipdir=/home/OpenOCD/ftd2xx \
LDFLAGS="-L/home/OpenOCD/openocd/jimtcl"
Then build OpenOCD and its HTML documentation:
$ make
$ make html
The result of the first make will be the "openocd.exe" will be
created in the folder /home/openocd/src. The following command
will install OpenOCD to a standard location (/usr/local/bin)
using using this command:
$ make install
Helper Scripts.
I have been using the Olimex ARM-USB-OCD JTAG debugger with the
LPC1766-STK (http://www.olimex.com). OpenOCD requires a configuration
file. I keep the one I used last here:
configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/tools/olimex.cfg
However, the "correct" configuration script to use with OpenOCD may
change as the features of OpenOCD evolve. So you should at least
compare that olimex.cfg file with configuration files in
/usr/local/share/openocd/scripts/target (or /home/OpenOCD/openocd/tcl/target).
As of this writing, there is no script for the lpc1766, but the
lpc1768 configurtion can be used after changing the flash size to
256Kb. That is, change:
flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2000 0x0 0x80000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME ...
To:
flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2000 0x0 0x40000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME ...
There is also a script on the tools/ directory that I use to start
the OpenOCD daemon on my system called oocd.sh. That script will
probably require some modifications to work in another environment:
- Possibly the value of OPENOCD_PATH and TARGET_PATH
- It assumes that the correct script to use is the one at
configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/tools/olimex.cfg
Starting OpenOCD
Then you should be able to start the OpenOCD daemon like:
configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/tools/oocd.sh $PWD
If you use the setenv.sh file, that the path to oocd.sh will be added
to your PATH environment variabl. So, in that case, the command simplifies
to just:
oocd.sh $PWD
Where it is assumed that you are executing oocd.sh from the top-level
directory where NuttX is installed. $PWD will be the path to the
top-level NuttX directory.
Connecting GDB
Once the OpenOCD daemon has been started, you can connect to it via
GDB using the following GDB command:
arm-elf-gdb
(gdb) target remote localhost:3333
NOTE: The name of your GDB program may differ. For example, with the
CodeSourcery toolchain, the ARM GDB would be called arm-none-eabi-gdb.
After starting GDB, you can load the NuttX ELF file:
(gdb) symbol-file nuttx
(gdb) load nuttx
NOTES:
1. Loading the symbol-file is only useful if you have built NuttX to
inclulde debug symbols (by setting CONFIG_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=y in the
.config file).
2. I usually have to reset, halt, and 'load nuttx' a second time. For
some reason, the first time apparently does not fully program the
FLASH.
3. The MCU must be halted prior to loading code using 'mon reset'
as described below.
OpenOCD will support several special 'monitor' commands. These
GDB commands will send comments to the OpenOCD monitor. Here
are a couple that you will need to use:
(gdb) monitor reset
(gdb) monitor halt
NOTES:
1. The MCU must be halted using 'mon halt' prior to loading code.
2. Reset will restart the processor after loading code.
3. The 'monitor' command can be abbreviated as just 'mon'.
Olimex LPC1766-STK Configuration Options
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CONFIG_ARCH - Identifies the arch/ subdirectory. This should
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_CORTEXM3=y
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP - Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP=lpc17xx
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code to identify the exact
chip:
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_LPC1766=y
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=olimex-lpc1766stk (for the Olimex LPC1766-STK)
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_LPC1766STK=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_DRAM_SIZE - Describes the installed DRAM (CPU SRAM in this case):
CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE=(32*1024) (32Kb)
There is an additional 32Kb of SRAM in AHB SRAM banks 0 and 1.
CONFIG_DRAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
CONFIG_DRAM_START=0x10000000
CONFIG_DRAM_END - Last address+1 of installed RAM
CONFIG_DRAM_END=(CONFIG_DRAM_START+CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE)
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO - The LPC17xx supports interrupt prioritization
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO=y
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.

Probably a bad idea... Unless there is some issue with sampling the SOF
from hardware asynchronously.
CONFIG_LPC17_USBDEV_EPFAST_INTERRUPT
Enable high priority interrupts. I have no idea why you might want to
do that
CONFIG_LPC17_USBDEV_NDMADESCRIPTORS

USB Host Configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The NuttShell (NSH) Nucleus 2G can be modified in order to support
USB host operations. To make these modifications, do the following:
1. First configure to build the NSH configuration from the top-level
NuttX directory:
cd tools
./configure nucleus2g/nsh
cd ..
2. Then edit the top-level .config file to enable USB host. Make the
following changes:
CONFIG_LPC17_USBHOST=n
CONFIG_USBHOST=n
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE=y
When this change is made, NSH should be extended to support USB flash
devices. When a FLASH device is inserted, you should see a device
appear in the /dev (psuedo) directory. The device name should be
like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. The USB mass storage device, is present
it can be mounted from the NSH command line like:
ls /dev
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/flash
Files on the connect USB flash device should then be accessible under
the mountpoint /mnt/flash.
Configurations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Each Olimex LPC1766-STK configuration is maintained in a
sudirectory and can be selected as follow:
cd tools
./configure.sh olimex-lpc1766stk/<subdir>
cd -
. ./setenv.sh
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
ftpc:
This is a simple FTP client shell used to exercise the capabilities
of the FTPC library (apps/netutils/ftpc). This example is configured
to that it will only work as a "built-in" program that can be run from
NSH when CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS is defined.
From NSH, the startup command sequence is then:
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /tmp # Mount the SD card at /tmp
nsh> cd /tmp # cd into the /tmp directory
nsh> ftpc xx.xx.xx.xx[:pp] # Start the FTP client
nfc> login <name> <password> # Log into the FTP server
nfc> help # See a list of FTP commands
where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address of the FTP server and pp is an
optional port number (default is the standard FTP port number 21).
NOTES:
1. Support for FAT long file names is built-in but can easily be
removed if you are concerned about Microsoft patent issues (see the
section "FAT Long File Names" in the top-level COPYING file).
CONFIG_FS_FAT=y
CONFIG_FAT_LCNAMES=y <-- Long file name support
CONFIG_FAT_LFN=y
CONFIG_FAT_MAXFNAME=32
CONFIG_FS_NXFFS=n
CONFIG_FS_ROMFS=n
2. You may also want to define the following in your configuration file.
Otherwise, you will have not feedback about what is going on:
CONFIG_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_VERBOSE=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_FTPC=y
hidkbd:
This configuration directory, performs a simple test of the USB host
HID keyboard class driver using the test logic in apps/examples/hidkbd.
nettest:
This configuration directory may be used to enable networking using the
LPC17xx's Ethernet controller. It uses apps/examples/nettest to excercise the
TCP/IP network.
nsh:
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.
NOTE: If you start the program with no SD card inserted, there will be
a substantial delay. This is because there is no hardware support to sense
whether or not an SD card is inserted. As a result, the driver has to
go through many retries and timeouts before it finally decides that there
is not SD card in the slot.
Configuration Notes:
1. Uses the buildroot toolchaing (CONFIG_LPC17_BUILDROOT=y). But that is
easily reconfigured (see above)
2. Support for FAT long file names is built-in but can easily be
removed if you are concerned about Microsoft patent issues (see the
section "FAT Long File Names" in the top-level COPYING file).
CONFIG_FS_FAT=y
CONFIG_FAT_LCNAMES=y <-- Long file name support
CONFIG_FAT_LFN=y
CONFIG_FAT_MAXFNAME=32
CONFIG_FS_NXFFS=n
CONFIG_FS_ROMFS=n
3. Includes logic to support a button test (apps/examples/buttons). To
enable the button test, make the following changes in the .config
after configuring:
-CONFIG_ARCH_BUTTONS=n
+CONFIG_ARCH_BUTTONS=y
-CONFIG_GPIO_IRQ=n
-CONFIG_ARCH_IRQBUTTONS=n
+CONFIG_GPIO_IRQ=y
+CONFIG_ARCH_IRQBUTTONS=y
4. This example supports the CAN loopback test (apps/examples/can) but this
must be manually enabled by selecting:
CONFIG_CAN=y : Enable the generic CAN infrastructure
CONFIG_LPC17_CAN1=y : Enable CAN1
CONFIG_CAN_LOOPBACK=y : Enable CAN loopback mode
See also apps/examples/README.txt
Special CAN-only debug options:
CONFIG_DEBUG_CAN
CONFIG_CAN_REGDEBUG
nx:
An example using the NuttX graphics system (NX). This example uses
the Nokia 6100 LCD driver. NOTE: The Nokia 6100 driver does not
work on this board as of this writing.
ostest:
This configuration directory, performs a simple OS test using
apps/examples/ostest.
slip-httpd:
This configuration is identical to the thttpd configuration except that
it uses the SLIP data link layer via a serial driver instead of the
Ethernet data link layer. The Ethernet driver is disabled; SLIP IP
packets are exchanged on UART1; UART0 is still the serial console.
1. Configure and build the slip-httpd configuration.
2. Connect to a Linux box (assuming /dev/ttyS0)
3. Reset on the target side and attach SLIP on the Linux side:
$ modprobe slip
$ slattach -L -p slip -s 57600 /dev/ttyS0 &
This should create an interface with a name like sl0, or sl1, etc.
Add -d to get debug output. This will show the interface name.
NOTE: The -L option is included to suppress use of hardware flow
control. This is necessary because I haven't figured out how to
use the UART1 hardware flow control yet.
NOTE: The Linux slip module hard-codes its MTU size to 296. So you
might as well set CONFIG_NET_BUFSIZE to 296 as well.
4. After turning over the line to the SLIP driver, you must configure
the network interface. Again, you do this using the standard
ifconfig and route commands. Assume that we have connected to a
host PC with address 192.168.0.101 from your target with address
10.0.0.2. On the Linux PC you would execute the following as root:
$ ifconfig sl0 10.0.0.1 pointopoint 10.0.0.2 up
$ route add 10.0.0.2 dev sl0
Assuming the SLIP is attached to device sl0.
5. For monitoring/debugging traffic:
$ tcpdump -n -nn -i sl0 -x -X -s 1500
NOTE: Only UART1 supports the hardware handshake. If hardware
handshake is not available, then you might try the slattach option
-L which is supposed to enable "3-wire operation."
NOTE: This configurat only works with VERBOSE debug disabled. For some
reason, certain debug statements hang(?).
NOTE: This example does not use UART1's hardware flow control. UART1
hardware flow control is partially implemented but does not behave as
expected. It needs a little more work.
thttpd:
This builds the THTTPD web server example using the THTTPD and
the apps/examples/thttpd application.
usbserial:
This configuration directory exercises the USB serial class
driver at apps/examples/usbserial. See apps/examples/README.txt for
more information.
