Toolchain
^^^^^^^^^
A GNU GCC-based toolchain is assumed. The PATH environment variable should
be modified to point to the correct path to the ARM920T GCC toolchain (if
different from the default).
If you have no ARM toolchain, one can be downloaded from the NuttX
Bitbucket download site (https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/buildroot/downloads/).
1. You must have already configured Nuttx in <some-dir>nuttx.
cd tools
./configure.sh mx1ads/<sub-dir>
2. Download the latest buildroot package into <some-dir>
3. unpack
4. cd <some-dir>/buildroot
5. cp configs/arm920t-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.
Issues
^^^^^^
Title: PORT IS INCOMPLETE
Description: The basic port of the i.MX1 architecture was never finished. The port
is incomplete (as of this writing, is still lacks a timer, interrupt
decoding, USB, network) and untested.
Status: Open
Priority: Medium (high if you need i.MX1/L support)
Title: SPI METHODS ARE NOT THREAD SAFE
Description: SPI methods are not thread safe. Needs a semaphore to protect from re-entrancy.
Status: Open
Priority: Medium -- Will be very high if you do SPI access from multiple threads.
ARM/i.MX1-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_ARM920T=y
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP - Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP=imx1
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code. Could be line _IMX1,
_IMXL, _IMX21, _IMX27, _IMX31, etc. (not all of which are
supported).
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_IMX1
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=mx1ads (for the Freescale MX1ADS evaluation board)
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_MX1ADS (for the Spectrum Digital C5471 EVM)
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.
CONFIG_RAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
CONFIG_RAM_VSTART - The startaddress of DRAM (virtual)
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_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.
IMX specific device driver settings
CONFIG_UARTn_SERIAL_CONSOLE - selects the UARTn for the
console and ttys0 (default is the UART0).
CONFIG_UARTn_RXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered as received.
This specific the size of the receive buffer
CONFIG_UARTn_TXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered before
being sent. This specific the size of the transmit buffer
CONFIG_UARTn_BAUD - The configure BAUD of the UART. Must be
CONFIG_UARTn_BITS - The number of bits. Must be either 7 or 8.
CONFIG_UARTn_PARTIY - 0=no parity, 1=odd parity, 2=even parity
CONFIG_UARTn_2STOP - Two stop bits
IMX USB Configuration
CONFIG_IMX1_GIO_USBATTACH
GIO that detects USB attach/detach events
CONFIG_IMX1_GIO_USBDPPULLUP
GIO
CONFIG_DMA320_USBDEV_DMA
Enable IMX-specific DMA support
CONFIG_IMX1_GIO_USBATTACH=6

Common Configuration Notes
--------------------------
1. Each MX1ADS configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:
cd tools
./configure.sh imxads/<subdir>
cd -
Where <subdir> is one of the configuration sub-directories described in
the following paragraph.
2. These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool. To
change a 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.
3. By default, all configurations assume that you are building under
Linux (should work under Windows with Cygwin as well). This is
is easily reconfigured:
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y
Configuration Sub-Directories
-----------------------------
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
ostest
This configuration directory, performs a simple OS test using
examples/ostest.
