LEDs
====
It is asumed that STMicro STM32F100RC generic board board has one LED on PA0.
You should configure the port and pin number in
configs/stm32vldiscovery/src/stm32vldiscovery.h. This LED is 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/up_leds.c. The LED is used
to encode OS-related events as follows:
SYMBOL Meaning LED1*
green
------------------- ----------------------- -------
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started ON
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated ON
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled ON
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created ON
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt ON
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler ON
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed OFF
LED_PANIC The system has crashed OFF
So basically if the LED is off it means that there is a problem.
UART
====
Default USART/UART Configuration
--------------------------------
USART1 is enabled in all configurations (see */defconfig). RX and TX are
configured on pins PA10 and PA9, respectively. Then connect the RX pin of
your USB/Serial adapter to TX pin (PA9) and the TX pin of your adapter to
RX pin (PA10) of your board besides, of course, the GND pin.
"STMicro STM32F100RC generic" specific 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=stm32
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code to identify the exact
chip:
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_STM32F100RB=y
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_STM32_CUSTOM_CLOCKCONFIG - Enables special STM32 clock
configuration features.
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_STM32_CUSTOM_CLOCKCONFIG=n
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=stm32vldiscovery
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_STM32VL_DISCOVERY=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_RAM_SIZE - Describes the installed DRAM (SRAM in this case):
CONFIG_RAM_SIZE=24576 (24kB)
CONFIG_RAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
CONFIG_RAM_START=0x20000000
CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LED to show state. Unique to boards that have LED(s)
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
Individual subsystems can be enabled:

Timer devices may be used for different purposes. One special purpose is
to generate modulated outputs for such things as motor control. If CONFIG_STM32_TIMn
is defined (as above) then the following may also be defined to indicate that
the timer is intended to be used for pulsed output modulation, ADC conversion,
or DAC conversion. Note that ADC/DAC require two definition: Not only do you have
to assign the timer (n) for used by the ADC or DAC, but then you also have to
configure which ADC or DAC (m) it is assigned to.
CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_PWM Reserve timer n for use by PWM, n=1,..,17
CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_ADC Reserve timer n for use by ADC, n=1,..,17
CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_ADC1 Reserve timer n to trigger ADCm, n=1,..,17
CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_DAC Reserve timer n for use by DAC, n=1,..,17
CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_DACm Reserve timer n to trigger DACm, n=1,..,17, m=1,..,2
For each timer that is enabled for PWM usage, we need the following additional
configuration settings:
CONFIG_STM32_TIMx_CHANNEL - Specifies the timer output channel {1,..,4}
NOTE: The STM32 timers are each capable of generating different signals on
each of the four channels with different duty cycles. That capability is
not supported by this driver: Only one output channel per timer.
JTAG Enable settings (by default full SWJ is enabled):
CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_FULL_ENABLE - Enables full SWJ (JTAG-DP + SW-DP)
CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_NOJNTRST_ENABLE - Enables full SWJ (JTAG-DP + SW-DP)
but without JNTRST.
CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_SW_ENABLE - Set JTAG-DP disabled and SW-DP enabled
STMicro STM32F100RC generic specific device driver settings
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_SERIAL_CONSOLE - selects the USARTn (n=1,2,3) or UART
m (m=4,5) for the console and ttys0 (default is the USART1).
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_RXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered as received.
This specific the size of the receive buffer
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_TXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered before
being sent. This specific the size of the transmit buffer
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_BAUD - The configure BAUD of the UART. Must be
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_BITS - The number of bits. Must be either 7 or 8.
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_PARTIY - 0=no parity, 1=odd parity, 2=even parity
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_2STOP - Two stop bits
Configurations
==============
Each STMicro STM32F100RC generic configuration is maintained in a sub-directory
and can be selected as follow:
tools/configure.sh stm32vldiscovery/<subdir>
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
nsh:
---
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at apps/examples/nsh. The
Configuration enables only the serial NSH interfaces.
Default toolchain:
