README
======
This README discusses issues unique to NuttX configurations for the Spark Core board from Spark Devices (http://www.spark.io). This board features the STM32103CBT6 MCU from STMicro.
Microprocessor: 32-bit ARM Cortex M3 at 72MHz STM32F103CBT6
Memory: 120 KB Flash and 20 KB SRAM, 2M serial Flash
I/O Pins Out: 37, 17 On the Connector
Network: TI CC3000 Wifi Module
ADCs: 9 (at 12-bit resolution)
Peripherals: 4 timers, 2 I2Cs, 2 SPI ports, 3 USARTs, 2 led's one Blue and one RGB.
Other: Sleep, stop, and standby modes; serial wire debug and JTAG interfaces
During the development of the SparkCore, the hardware was in limited supply
As a work around David Sidrane <david_s5@nscdg.com> created a SparkCore Big board
(http://nscdg.com/spark/sparkBB.png) that will interface with a maple mini
(http://leaflabs.com/docs/hardware/maple-mini.html), and a CC3000BOOST
(https://estore.ti.com/CC3000BOOST-CC3000-BoosterPack-P4258.aspx)
It breaks out the Tx, Rx to connect to a FTDI TTL-232RG-VREG3V3-WE for the console and
wires in the spark LEDs and serial flash to the same I/O as the sparkcore. It has a Jlink
compatible Jtag connector on it.

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.
GNU Toolchain Options
=====================
Toolchain Configurations
------------------------
The NuttX make system has been modified to support the following different
toolchain options.
1. The CodeSourcery GNU toolchain,
2. The Atollic Toolchain,
3. The devkitARM GNU toolchain,
4. Raisonance GNU toolchain, or
5. The NuttX buildroot Toolchain (see below).
All testing has been conducted using the CodeSourcery toolchain for Linux.
To use the Atollic, devkitARM, Raisonance GNU, or NuttX buildroot toolchain,
you simply need to add one of the following configuration options to your
.config (or defconfig) file:
CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=n : CodeSourcery under Windows
CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux
CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_LITE=n : The free, "Lite" version of Atollic toolchain under Windows
CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_PRO=n : The paid, "Pro" version of Atollic toolchain under Windows
CONFIG_STM32_DEVKITARM=n : devkitARM under Windows
CONFIG_STM32_RAISONANCEny : Raisonance RIDE7 under Windows
CONFIG_STM32_BUILDROOT=n : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin (default)
If you change the default toolchain, 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), Atollic, devkitARM, and Raisonance toolchains 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.
MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mknulldeps.sh
The CodeSourcery Toolchain (2009q1)
-----------------------------------
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.
The Atollic "Pro" and "Lite" Toolchain
--------------------------------------
One problem that I had with the Atollic toolchains is that the provide a gcc.exe
and g++.exe in the same bin/ file as their ARM binaries. If the Atollic bin/ path
appears in your PATH variable before /usr/bin, then you will get the wrong gcc
when you try to build host executables. This will cause to strange, uninterpretable
errors build some host binaries in tools/ when you first make.
Also, the Atollic toolchains are the only toolchains that have built-in support for
the FPU in these configurations. If you plan to use the Cortex-M4 FPU, you will
need to use the Atollic toolchain for now. See the FPU section below for more
information.
The Atollic "Lite" Toolchain
----------------------------
The free, "Lite" version of the Atollic toolchain does not support C++ nor
does it support ar, nm, objdump, or objdcopy. If you use the Atollic "Lite"
toolchain, you will have to set:
CONFIG_HAVE_CXX=n
In order to compile successfully. Otherwise, you will get errors like:
"C++ Compiler only available in TrueSTUDIO Professional"
The make may then fail in some of the post link processing because of some of
the other missing tools. The Make.defs file replaces the ar and nm with
the default system x86 tool versions and these seem to work okay. Disable all
of the following to avoid using objcopy:
CONFIG_RRLOAD_BINARY=n
CONFIG_INTELHEX_BINARY=n
CONFIG_MOTOROLA_SREC=n
CONFIG_RAW_BINARY=n
devkitARM
---------
The devkitARM toolchain includes a version of MSYS make. Make sure that the
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.
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).
Using Sourcery CodeBench from http://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/sourcery-tools/sourcery-codebench/overview
Download and install the latest version (as of this writting it was
sourceryg++-2013.05-64-arm-none-eabi)
Import the project from git.
File->import->Git-URI, then import a Exiting code as a Makefile progject
from the working directory the git clone was done to.
Select the Sourcery CodeBench for ARM EABI. N.B. You must do one command line
build, before the make will work in CodeBench.
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/stm32,
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/stm32/stm32_vectors.S. With RIDE, I have to build NuttX
one time from the Cygwin command line in order to obtain the pre-built
startup object needed by RIDE.
NuttX EABI "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/projects/nuttx/files/buildroot/).
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 stm32_tiny/<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-eabi-defconfig-4.6.3 .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
details PLUS some special instructions that you will need to follow if you are
building a Cortex-M3 toolchain for Cygwin under Windows.
NOTE: Unfortunately, the 4.6.3 EABI toolchain is not compatible with the
the NXFLAT tools. See the top-level TODO file (under "Binary loaders") for
more information about this problem. If you plan to use NXFLAT, please do not
use the GCC 4.6.3 EABI toochain; instead use the GCC 4.3.3 OABI toolchain.
See instructions below.
NuttX OABI "buildroot" Toolchain
================================
The older, OABI buildroot toolchain is also available. To use the OABI
toolchain:
1. When building the buildroot toolchain, either (1) modify the cortexm3-eabi-defconfig-4.6.3
configuration to use EABI (using 'make menuconfig'), or (2) use an exising OABI
configuration such as cortexm3-defconfig-4.3.3
2. Modify the Make.defs file to use the OABI conventions:
+CROSSDEV = arm-nuttx-elf-
+ARCHCPUFLAGS = -mtune=cortex-m3 -march=armv7-m -mfloat-abi=soft
+NXFLATLDFLAGS2 = $(NXFLATLDFLAGS1) -T$(TOPDIR)/binfmt/libnxflat/gnu-nxflat-gotoff.ld -no-check-sections
-CROSSDEV = arm-nuttx-eabi-
-ARCHCPUFLAGS = -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb -mfloat-abi=soft
-NXFLATLDFLAGS2 = $(NXFLATLDFLAGS1) -T$(TOPDIR)/binfmt/libnxflat/gnu-nxflat-pcrel.ld -no-check-sections
NXFLAT Toolchain
================
If you are *not* using the NuttX buildroot toolchain and you want to use
the NXFLAT tools, then you will still have to build a portion of the buildroot
tools -- just the NXFLAT tools. The buildroot with the NXFLAT tools can
be downloaded from the NuttX SourceForge download site
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/nuttx/files/).
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 lpcxpresso-lpc1768/<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-nxflat .config
6. make oldconfig
7. make
8. Edit setenv.h, if necessary, so that the PATH variable includes
the path to the newly builtNXFLAT binaries.
DFU and JTAG
============
Enbling Support for the DFU Bootloader
--------------------------------------
The linker files in these projects can be configured to indicate that you
will be loading code using STMicro built-in USB Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU)
loader or via some JTAG emulator. You can specify the DFU bootloader by
adding the following line:
CONFIG_STM32_DFU=y
to your .config file. Most of the configurations in this directory are set
up to use the DFU loader.
If CONFIG_STM32_DFU is defined, the code will not be positioned at the beginning
of FLASH (0x08000000) but will be offset to 0x08005000. This offset is needed
to make space for the DFU loader and 0x08005000 is where the DFU loader expects
to find new applications at boot time. If you need to change that origin for some
other bootloader, you will need to edit the file(s) ld.script.dfu for the
configuration.
For Linux or Mac:
----------------
While on Linux or Mac, we can use dfu-util to upload nuttx binary.
1. Make sure we have installed dfu-util. (From yum, apt-get or build from source.)
2. Start the DFU loader (bootloader) on the Spark board. You do this by
resetting the board while holding the "Key" button. Windows should
recognize that the DFU loader has been installed.
3. Flash the nuttx.bin to the board use dfu-util. Here's an example:
$ dfu-util -a1 -d 1eaf:0003 -D nuttx.bin -R
For anything not clear, we can refer to LeafLabs official document:
http://leaflabs.com/docs/unix-toolchain.html
For Windows:
-----------
The DFU SE PC-based software is available from the STMicro website,
http://www.st.com. General usage instructions:
1. Convert the NuttX Intel Hex file (nuttx.hex) into a special DFU
file (nuttx.dfu)... see below for details.
2. Connect the M3 Wildfire board to your computer using a USB
cable.
3. Start the DFU loader on the M3 Wildfire board. You do this by
resetting the board while holding the "Key" button. Windows should
recognize that the DFU loader has been installed.
3. Run the DFU SE program to load nuttx.dfu into FLASH.
What if the DFU loader is not in FLASH? The loader code is available
inside of the Demo dirctory of the USBLib ZIP file that can be downloaded
from the STMicro Website. You can build it using RIDE (or other toolchains);
you will need a JTAG emulator to burn it into FLASH the first time.
In order to use STMicro's built-in DFU loader, you will have to get
the NuttX binary into a special format with a .dfu extension. The
DFU SE PC_based software installation includes a file "DFU File Manager"
conversion program that a file in Intel Hex format to the special DFU
format. When you successfully build NuttX, you will find a file called
nutt.hex in the top-level directory. That is the file that you should
provide to the DFU File Manager. You will end up with a file called
nuttx.dfu that you can use with the STMicro DFU SE program.
Enabling JTAG
-------------
If you are not using the DFU, then you will probably also need to enable
JTAG support. By default, all JTAG support is disabled but there NuttX
configuration options to enable JTAG in various different ways.
These configurations effect the setting of the SWJ_CFG[2:0] bits in the AFIO
MAPR register. These bits are used to configure the SWJ and trace alternate function I/Os.
The SWJ (SerialWire JTAG) supports JTAG or SWD access to the Cortex debug port.
The default state in this port is for all JTAG support to be disable.
CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_FULL_ENABLE - sets SWJ_CFG[2:0] to 000 which enables full
SWJ (JTAG-DP + SW-DP)
CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_NOJNTRST_ENABLE - sets SWJ_CFG[2:0] to 001 which enable
full SWJ (JTAG-DP + SW-DP) but without JNTRST.
CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_SW_ENABLE - sets SWJ_CFG[2:0] to 010 which would set JTAG-DP
disabled and SW-DP enabled
The default setting (none of the above defined) is SWJ_CFG[2:0] set to 100
which disable JTAG-DP and SW-DP.
Hardware
========
The Spark comprises a STM32F103CB 72 Mhz, 128 Flash, 20K Ram, with 37 IO Pins, and
a TI CC3000 Wifi Module. It has a 2MB serial flash, onboad regulation and 2 led's
one Blue and one RGB.
During the development of the SparkCore, the hardware was in limited supply
As a work around david_s5 created a SparkCore Big board (http://nscdg.com/spark/sparkBB.png)
that will interface with a maple mini (http://leaflabs.com/docs/hardware/maple-mini.html),
and a CC3000BOOST (https://estore.ti.com/CC3000BOOST-CC3000-BoosterPack-P4258.aspx)
It breaks out the Tx, Rx to connect to a FTDI TTL-232RG-VREG3V3-WE for the console and
wires in the spark LEDs and serial flash to the same I/O as the sparkcore. It has a Jlink
compatible Jtag connector on it.

Buttons and LEDs
================
Buttons
-------
The Spark has two mechanical buttons. One button is the RESET button
connected to the STM32F103CB's reset line via /RST and the other is a
generic user configurable button labeled BTN and connected to GPIO
PB2/BOOT1. Since on the Spark, BOOT0 is tied to GND it is a moot point
that BTN signal is connected to the BOOT1 signal. When a button is
pressed it will drive the I/O line to GND.
LEDs
----
There are 4 user-controllable LEDs in two packages on board the Spark board:
Sigal Location Color GPIO Active
------- ------------ ----------- ----- -----------
LED1 LED_USR Blue LED PA13 High Common With D7
LED2 LED_RGB Red LED PA8 Low
LED3 LED_RGB Blue LED PA9 Low
LED4 LED_RGB Green LED PA10 Low
LED1 is connected to ground and can be illuminated by driving the PA13
output high, it shares the Sparks D7 output. The LED2,LED3 and LED4
are pulled high and can be illuminated by driving the corresponding GPIO output
to low.
The RGB 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/up_leds.c. The LEDs are used to encode OS-related
events as follows:
SYMBOL Meaning LED2 LED3 LED4
red blue green Color
------------------- ----------------------- ------- ------- ------ ---------
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started ON OFF OFF Red
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF ON OFF Blue
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled ON OFF ON Orange
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created OFF OFF ON Green
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt** ON N/C N/C Orange Glow
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler*** N/C ON N/C Blue Glow
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed ON ON ON White
LED_PANIC The system has crashed ON N/C N/C Red Flashing
LED_IDLE STM32 is is sleep mode (Optional, not used)
* If LED2, LED3, LED4 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 LED4 ON and LED2 faintly glowing. This faint glow
is because of timer interupts that result in the LED being illuminated
on a small proportion of the time.
*** LED3 may also flicker normally if signals are processed.
Serial Consoles
===============
USART2
-----
If you have a 3.3 V TTL to RS-232 convertor then this is the most convenient
serial console to use. UART2 is the default in all of these
configurations.
USART2 RX PA3 JP1 pin 4
USART2 TX PA2 JP1 pin 3
GND JP1 pin 2
V3.3 JP2 pin 1
Virtual COM Port
----------------
Yet another option is to use UART0 and the USB virtual COM port. This
option may be more convenient for long term development, but was
painful to use during board bring-up.
Spark -specific Configuration Options
==============
WIP
Configurations
==============
Composite: The composite is a super set of all the functions in nsh,
usbserial, usbmsc. (usbnsh has not been rung out).
Build it with
make distclean;cd tools;./configure.sh spark/composite;cd ..
then run make menuconfig if you wish to customize things.
N.B. Memory is tight, both Flash and RAM are taxed. If you enable
debugging you will need to add -Os following the line -g in the line:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_DEBUG_SYMBOLS),y)
ARCHOPTIMIZATION = -g
in the top level Make.degs or the code will not fit.
Stack space has been hand optimized using the stack coloring by enabling
"Stack usage debug hooks" (CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK) in Build Setup-> Debug
Options. I have selected values that have 8-16 bytes of headroom with
network debugging on. If you enable more debugging and get a hard fault
or any weirdness like commands hanging. Then the Idle, main or Interrupt
stack my be too small. Stop the target and have a look a memory for a
blown stack: No DEADBEEF at the lowest address of a given stack.
Given the RAM memory constraints it is not possible to be running the
network and USB CDC/ACM and MSC at the same time. But on the bright
side, you can export the FLASH memory to the PC. Write files on the
Flash. Reboot and mount the FAT FS and run network code that will have
access the files.
You can use the scripts/cdc-acm.inf file to install the windows
composite device.
SPI2 is enabled and support is included for the FAT file system on the
16Mbit (2M) SST25 device and control of the CC3000 on the spark core.
When the system boots, you should have a dev/mtdblock0 that can be
mounted using the command:
mount -t vfat /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/p0
or /dev/mtdblock0 can be exported as MSC on the USB interface along with
a Virtual serial port as a CDC/ACM interface.
Use the command conn* and disconn to manage the USB interface.
N.B. *If /dev/mtdblock0 is mounted then You must unmount it prior to
exporting it via the conn command. Bad things will happen if not.
Network control is facilitated by running the c3b (cc3000basic) application.
Run c3b from the nsh prompt.
+-------------------------------------------+
| Nuttx CC3000 Demo Program |
+-------------------------------------------+
01 - Initialize the CC3000
02 - Show RX & TX buffer sizes, & free RAM
03 - Start Smart Config
04 - Manually connect to AP
05 - Manually add connection profile
06 - List access points
07 - Show CC3000 information
08 - Telnet
Type 01-07 to select above option:
Select 01. Then use 03 and the TI Smart config application running on an
IOS or Android device to configure join your network.
Use 07 to see the IP address of the device.
(On the next reboot running c3b 01 the CC3000 will automaticaly rejoin the
network after the 01 give it a few seconds and enter 07 or 08)
Use 08 to start Telnet. Then you can connect to the device using the
address listed in command 07.
qq will exit the c3b with the telnet deamon running (if started)
Slow.... You will be thinking 300 bps. This is because of packet sizes and
how the select thread runs in the telnet session. Telnet is not the best
showcase for the CC3000, but simply a proof of network connectivity.
http POST and GET should be more efficient.
