STATUS
======
1. Most of this document is a partially corrected clone of the SAMA5D4-EK
README.txt and still contains errors and inconsistencies.
2. Coding is complete for the the basic SAMA5D2-XULT NSH configuration, but
is completely untested as of this writing (2015-09-15). The primary
issue is that I have not yet determine how to load and test code.
Loading Code into SRAM with J-Link
==================================
REVISIT: Unverified, cloned text from the SAMA5D4-EK README.txt
Loading code with the Segger tools and GDB
------------------------------------------
1) Change directories into the directory where you built NuttX.
2) Start the GDB server and wait until it is ready to accept GDB
connections.
3) Then run GDB like this:
$ arm-none-eabi-gdb
(gdb) target remote localhost:2331
(gdb) mon reset
(gdb) load nuttx
(gdb) ... start debugging ...
Loading code using J-Link Commander

Creating and Using DRAMBOOT
===========================
REVISIT: Unverified, cloned text from the SAMA5D4-EK README.txt
In order to have more control of debugging code that runs out of DARM,
I created the sama5d2-xult/dramboot configuration. That configuration is
described below under "Configurations."
Here are some general instructions on how to build an use dramboot:
Building:
1. Remove any old configurations (if applicable).
cd <nuttx>
make distclean
2. Install and build the dramboot configuration. This steps will establish
the dramboot configuration and setup the PATH variable in order to do
the build:
cd tools
./configure.sh sama5d2-xult/dramboot
cd -
. ./setenv.sh
Before sourcing the setenv.sh file above, you should examine it and
perform edits as necessary so that TOOLCHAIN_BIN is the correct path
to the directory than holds your toolchain binaries.
NOTE: Be aware that the default dramboot also disables the watchdog.
Since you will not be able to re-enable the watchdog later, you may
need to set CONFIG_SAMA5_WDT=y in the NuttX configuration file.
Then make dramboot:
make
This will result in an ELF binary called 'nuttx' and also HEX and
binary versions called 'nuttx.hex' and 'nuttx.bin'.
3. Rename the binaries. Since you will need two versions of NuttX: this
dramboot version that runs in internal SRAM and another under test in
NOR FLASH, I rename the resulting binary files so that they can be
distinguished:
mv nuttx dramboot
mv nuttx.hex dramboot.hex
mv nuttx.bin dramboot.bin
4. Build the "real" DRAM configuration. This will create the nuttx.hex
that you will load using dramboot. Note that you must select
CONFIG_SAMA5D2XULT_DRAM_BOOT=y. This controls the origin at which the
code is linked and positions it correctly for the DRAMBOOT program.
5. Restart the system holding DIS_BOOT. You should see the RomBOOT
prompt on the 115200 8N1 serial console (and nothing) more. Hit
the ENTER key with the focus on your terminal window a few time.
This will enable JTAG.
6. Then start the J-Link GDB server and GDB. In GDB, I do the following:
(gdb) mon heal # Halt the CPU
(gdb) load dramboot # Load dramboot into internal SRAM
(gdb) mon go # Start dramboot
You should see this message:
Send Intel HEX file now
Load your program by sending the nuttx.hex via the terminal program.
Then:
(gdb) mon halt # Break in
(gdb) mon reg pc = 0x20000040 # Set the PC to DRAM entry point
(gdb) mon go # And jump into DRAM
The dramboot program can also be configured to jump directly into
DRAM without requiring the final halt and go by setting
CONFIG_SAMA5D2XULT_DRAM_START=y in the NuttX configuration. However,
since I have been debugging the early boot sequence, the above
sequence has been most convenient for me since it allows me to
step into the program in SDRAM.
7. An option is to use the SAM-BA tool to write the DRAMBOOT image into
Serial FLASH. Then, the system will boot from Serial FLASH by
copying the DRAMBOOT image in SRAM which will run, download the nuttx.hex
file, and then start the image loaded into DRAM automatically. This is
a very convenient usage!
NOTES: (1) There is that must be closed to enable use of the AT25
Serial Flash. (2) If using SAM-BA, make sure that you load the DRAM
boot program into the boot area via the pull-down menu. (3) If
you don't have SAM-BA, an alternative is to use the AT25BOOT program
described in the next section.
STATUS: I don't have a working SAM-BA at the moment and there are issues
with my AT25BOOT (see below). I currently work around these issues by
putting DRAMBOOT on a microSD card (as boot.bin). The RomBOOT loader does
boot that image without issue.
Creating and Using AT25BOOT
===========================
REVISIT: Unverified, cloned text from the SAMA5D4-EK README.txt
To work around some SAM-BA availability issues that I had at one time,
I created the AT25BOOT program. AT25BOOT is a tiny program that runs in
ISRAM. AT25BOOT will enable SDRAM and configure the AT25 Serial FLASH.
It will prompt and then load an Intel HEX program into SDRAM over the
serial console. If the program is successfully loaded in SDRAM, AT25BOOT
will copy the program at the beginning of the AT26 Serial FLASH.
If the jumpering is set correctly, the SAMA5D2 RomBOOT loader will
then boot the program from the serial FLASH the next time that it
reset.
The AT25BOOT configuration is described below under "Configurations."
Here are some general instructions on how to build an use AT25BOOT:
Building:
1. Remove any old configurations (if applicable).
cd <nuttx>
make distclean
2. Install and build the AT25BOOT configuration. This steps will establish
the AT25BOOT configuration and setup the PATH variable in order to do
the build:
cd tools
./configure.sh sama5d2-xult/at25boot
cd -
. ./setenv.sh
Before sourcing the setenv.sh file above, you should examine it and
perform edits as necessary so that TOOLCHAIN_BIN is the correct path
to the directory than holds your toolchain binaries.
Then make AT25BOOT:
make
This will result in an ELF binary called 'nuttx' and also HEX and
binary versions called 'nuttx.hex' and 'nuttx.bin'.
3. Rename the binaries. If you want to save this version of AT25BOOT so
that it does not get clobbered later, you may want to rename the
binaries:
mv nuttx at25boot
mv nuttx.hex at25boot.hex
mv nuttx.bin at25boot.bin
4. Build the "real" DRAMBOOT configuration. This will create the
dramboot.hex that you will write to the AT25 FLASH using AT25BOOT. See
the section above entitled "Creating and Using AT25BOOT" for more
information.
5. Restart the system holding DIS_BOOT. You should see the RomBOOT
prompt on the 115200 8N1 serial console (and nothing) more. Hit
the ENTER key with the focus on your terminal window a few time.
This will enable JTAG.
6. Then start the J-Link GDB server and GDB. In GDB, I do the following:
(gdb) mon heal # Halt the CPU
(gdb) load at25boot # Load AT25BOOT into internal SRAM
(gdb) mon go # Start AT25BOOT
You should see this message:
Send Intel HEX file now
Load DRAMBOOT by sending the dramboot.hex via the terminal program.
At this point you will get messages indicated whether or not the write
to the AT25 FLASH was successful or not. When you reset the board,
it should then boot from the AT25 Serial FLASH and you should again
get the prompt:
Send Intel HEX file now
But now you are being prompted to load the DRAM program under test
(See the section above entitled "Creating and Using AT25BOOT").
7. An better option, if available, is to use the SAM-BA tool to write the
DRAMBOOT image into Serial FLASH.
NOTES: (1) There is that must be closed to enable use of the AT25
Serial Flash. (2) If using SAM-BA, make sure that you load the DRAM
boot program into the boot area via the pull-down menu.
STATUS: While this program works great and appears to correctly write
the binary image onto the AT25 Serial FLASH, the RomBOOT loader will
not boot it! I believe that is because the secure boot loader has some
undocumented requirements that I am unaware of. (2014-6-28)
Running NuttX from SDRAM
========================
REVISIT: Unverified, cloned text from the SAMA5D4-EK README.txt
NuttX may be executed from SDRAM. But this case means that the NuttX
binary must reside on some other media (typically NAND FLASH, Serial
FLASH) or transferred over some interface (perhaps a UARt or even a
TFTP server). In these cases, an intermediate bootloader such as U-Boot
or Barebox must be used to configure the SAMA5D2 clocks and SDRAM and
then to copy the NuttX binary into SDRAM.
The SRAMBOOT program is another option (see above). But this section
will focus on U-Boot.
- NuttX Configuration
- Boot sequence
- NAND FLASH Memory Map
- Programming the AT91Boostrap Binary
- Programming U-Boot
- Load NuttX with U-Boot on AT91 boards
TODO: Some drivers may require some adjustments to run from SDRAM. That
is because in this case macros like BOARD_MCK_FREQUENCY are not constants
but are instead function calls: The MCK clock frequency is not known in
advance but instead has to be calculated from the bootloader PLL configuration.
See the TODO list at the end of this file for further information.
NuttX Configuration
-------------------
In order to run from SDRAM, NuttX must be built at origin 0x20008000 in
SDRAM (skipping over SDRAM memory used by the bootloader). The following
configuration option is required:
CONFIG_SAMA5_BOOT_SDRAM=y
CONFIG_BOOT_RUNFROMSDRAM=y
These options tell the NuttX code that it will be booting and running from
SDRAM. In this case, the start-logic will do to things: (1) it will not
configure the SAMA5D2 clocking. Rather, it will use the clock configuration
as set up by the bootloader. And (2) it will not attempt to configure the
SDRAM. Since NuttX is already running from SDRAM, it must accept the SDRAM
configuration as set up by the bootloader.
Boot sequence
-------------
Reference: http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/GettingStarted
Several pieces of software are involved to boot a Nutt5X into SDRAM. First
is the primary bootloader in ROM which is in charge to check if a valid
application is present on supported media (NOR FLASH, Serial DataFlash,
NAND FLASH, SD card).
The boot sequence of linux4SAM is done in several steps :
1. The ROM bootloader checks if a valid application is present in FLASH
and if it is the case downloads it into internal SRAM. This program
is usually a second level bootloader called AT91BootStrap.
2. AT91Bootstrap is the second level bootloader. It is in charge of the
hardware configuration. It downloads U-Boot / Barebox binary from
FLASH to SDRAM / DDRAM and starts the third level bootloader
(U-Boot / Barebox)
(see http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/AT91Bootstrap).
3. The third level bootloader is either U-Boot or Barebox. The third
level bootloader is in charge of downloading NuttX binary from FLASH,
network, SD card, etc. It then starts NuttX.
4. Then NuttX runs from SDRAM

Load NuttX with U-Boot on AT91 boards
-------------------------------------
Reference http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/U-Boot
Preparing NuttX image
U-Boot does not support normal binary images. Instead you have to
create an uImage file with the mkimage tool which encapsulates kernel
image with header information, CRC32 checksum, etc.
mkimage comes in source code with U-Boot distribution and it is built
during U-Boot compilation (u-boot-source-dir/tools/mkimage). There
are also sites where you can download pre-built mkimage binaries. For
example: http://www.trimslice.com/wiki/index.php/U-Boot_images
See the U-Boot README file for more information. More information is
also available in the mkimage man page (for example,
http://linux.die.net/man/1/mkimage).
Command to generate an uncompressed uImage file (4) :
mkimage -A arm -O linux -C none -T kernel -a 20008000 -e 20008000 \
-n nuttx -d nuttx.bin uImage
Where:
-A arm: Set architecture to ARM
-O linux: Select operating system. bootm command of u-boot changes
boot method by os type.
-T kernel: Set image type.
-C none: Set compression type.
-a 20008000: Set load address.
-e 20008000: Set entry point.
-n nuttx: Set image name.
-d nuttx.bin: Use image data from nuttx.bin.
This will generate a binary called uImage. If you have the path to
mkimage in your PATH variable, then you can automatically build the
uImage file by adding the following to your .config file:
CONFIG_RAW_BINARY=y
CONFIG_UBOOT_UIMAGE=y
CONFIG_UIMAGE_LOAD_ADDRESS=0x20008000
CONFIG_UIMAGE_ENTRY_POINT=0x20008040
The uImage file can them be loaded into memory from a variety of sources
(serial, SD card, JFFS2 on NAND, TFTP).
STATUS:
2014-4-1: So far, I am unable to get U-Boot to execute the uImage
file. I get the following error messages (in this case
trying to load from an SD card):

Loading through network
On a development system, it is useful to get the kernel and root file
system through the network. U-Boot provides support for loading
binaries from a remote host on the network using the TFTP protocol.
To manage to use TFTP with U-Boot, you will have to configure a TFTP
server on your host machine. Check your distribution manual or Internet
resources to configure a Linux or Windows TFTP server on your host:
- U-Boot documentation on a Linux host:
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.6.
- Another TFTP configuration reference:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch16_:_Telnet%2C_TFTP%2C_and_xinetd#TFTP
On the U-Boot side, you will have to setup the networking parameters:
1. Setup an Ethernet address (MAC address)
Check this U-Boot network BuildRootFAQ entry to choose a proper MAC
address: http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/EthernetDoesNotWork
setenv ethaddr 00:e0:de:ad:be:ef
2. Setup IP parameters:
The board ip address
setenv ipaddr 10.0.0.2
The server ip address where the TFTP server is running
setenv serverip 10.0.0.1
3. saving Environment to flash
saveenv
4. If Ethernet Phy has not been detected during former bootup, reset
the board to reload U-Boot : the Ethernet address and Phy
initialization shall be ok, now
5. Download the NuttX uImage and the root file system to a ram location
using the U-Boot tftp command (Cf. U-Boot script capability chapter).
6. Launch NuttX issuing a bootm or boot command.
If the board has both emac and gmac, you can use following to choose
which one to use:
setenv ethact macb0,gmacb0
setenv ethprime gmacb0
STATUS:
2014-3-30: These instructions were adapted from the Linux4SAM website
but have not yet been used.
Using JTAG
----------
This description assumes that you have a JTAG debugger such as Segger
J-Link connected to the SAMA5D3-Xplained.
1. Start the GDB server
2. Start GDB
3. Use the 'target remote localhost:xxxx' command to attach to the GDG
server
4. Do 'mon reset' then 'mon go' to start the internal boot loader (maybe
U-Boot).
5. Let the boot loader run until it completes SDRAM initialization, then
do 'mon halt'.
6. Now you have SDRAM initialized and you use 'load nuttx' to load the
ELF file into SDRAM.
7. Use 'file nuttx' to load symbols
8. Set the PC to the NuttX entry point 'mon pc 0x20008040' and start
nuttx using 'mon go'.
Buttons and LEDs
================
Buttons
-------
A single button, PB_USER1 (PB6), is available on the SAMA5D2-XULT
------------------------------ ------------------- -------------------------
SAMA5D2 PIO SIGNAL USAGE
------------------------------ ------------------- -------------------------
PB6 USER_PB_PB6 PB_USER push button
------------------------------ ------------------- -------------------------
Closing PB_USER will bring PB6 to ground so 1) PB6 should have a weak pull-up,
and 2) when PB_USER is pressed, a low value will be senses.
Support for pollable buttons is enabled with:
CONFIG_ARCH_BUTTONS=y
For interrupt driven buttons, add:
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQBUTTONS=y
Program interfaces for button access are described in nuttx/include/nuttx/arch.h
There is an example that can be enabled to test button interrupts. That
example is enabled like:
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_BUTTONS=y
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_BUTTONS_MAX=0
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_BUTTONS_MIN=0
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_BUTTONS_NAME0="PB_USER"
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_IRQBUTTONS_MAX=0
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_IRQBUTTONS_MIN=0
LEDs
----
There is an RGB LED on board the SAMA5D2-XULT. The RED component is driven by
the SDHC_CD pin (PA13) and so will not be used. The LEDs are provided VDD_LED
and so bringing the LED low will will illuminated the LED.
------------------------------ ------------------- -------------------------
SAMA5D2 PIO SIGNAL USAGE
------------------------------ ------------------- -------------------------
PA13 SDHC_CD_PA13 Red LED
PB5 LED_GREEN_PB5 Green LED
PB0 LED_BLUE_PB0 Blue LED
------------------------------ ------------------- -------------------------
When CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is defined in the NuttX configuration, NuttX will
control the Green LED (only)as follows:
SYMBOL Meaning Green LED
------------------- ----------------------- ---------
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started OFF
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled OFF
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created ON
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt N/C
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler N/C
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed N/C
LED_PANIC The system has crashed FLASH
Thus if the Green LED is statically on, NuttX has successfully booted and
is, apparently, running normally. If LED is flashing at approximately
2Hz, then a fatal error has been detected and the system has halted.
Serial Console
==============
DEBUG / DBGU Port (J1). There is a TTL serial connection available on
pins 2 and 3 of the DEBUG connector. This may be driven by UART1,
depending upon the setting of JP2 (DBGU_PE on the schematic, DEBUG_DIS
on the board):

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 calibrate
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.

Configurations
==============
Information Common to All Configurations
----------------------------------------
Each SAMA5D2-XULT configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:
cd tools
./configure.sh sama5d2-xult/<subdir>
cd -
. ./setenv.sh
Before sourcing the setenv.sh file above, you should examine it and perform
edits as necessary so that TOOLCHAIN_BIN is 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 the DBGU (J23).
3. All of these configurations use the Code Sourcery for Windows 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_WINDOWS=y : Microsoft Windows
CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : Using Cygwin or other POSIX environment
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARMV7A_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIW=y : GNU EABI toolchain for windows
That same configuration will work with Atmel GCC toolchain. The only
change required to use the Atmel GCC toolchain is to change the PATH
variable so that those tools are selected instead of the CodeSourcery
tools. Try 'which arm-none-eabi-gcc' to make sure that you are
selecting the right tool.
The setenv.sh file is available for you to use to set the PATH
variable. The path in the that file may not, however, be correct
for your installation.
See also the "NOTE about Windows native toolchains" in the section call
"GNU Toolchain Options" above.
!!!WARNING!!! The first time that you type 'make', the system will
configure itself based on the settings in the .config file. One of
these settings can cause a lot of confusion if you configure the build
in the wrong state: If you are running on Linux, make *certain* that
you have CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y *before* the first make or you will
create a very corrupt configuration that may not be easy to recover
from.
4. The SAMA5Dx is running at 528MHz by default in these configurations.
Board Selection -> CPU Frequency
CONFIG_SAMA5D2XULT_528MHZ=y : Enable 528MHz operation
CONFIG_BOARD_LOOPSPERMSEC=65775 : Calibrated on SAMA5D3-Xplained at
: 528MHz running from SDRAM
Configuration Sub-directories
-----------------------------
Summary: Some of the descriptions below are long and wordy. Here is the
concise summary of the available SAMA5D2-XULT configurations:
nsh: This is a basic NuttShell (NSH) configuration.
There may be issues with some of these configurations. See the details
for status of individual configurations.
Now for the gory details:
nsh:
This configuration directory provide the NuttShell (NSH). This is a
very simple NSH configuration upon which you can build further
functionality.
NOTES:
1. This configuration uses the the USART3 for the serial console
which is available at the "DBGU" RS-232 connector (J24). That
is easily changed by reconfiguring to (1) enable a different
serial peripheral, and (2) selecting that serial peripheral as
the console device.
2. By default, this configuration is set up to build on Windows
under either a Cygwin or MSYS environment using a recent, Windows-
native, generic ARM EABI GCC toolchain (such as the ARM supported
toolchain). Both the build environment and the toolchain
selection can easily be changed by reconfiguring:
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Windows operating system
CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : POSIX environment under windows
CONFIG_ARMV7A_TOOLCHAIN_EABIW=y : Generic GCC EABI toolchain for Windows
If you are running on Linux, make *certain* that you have
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y *before* the first make or you will create a
corrupt configuration that may not be easy to recover from. See
the warning in the section "Information Common to All Configurations"
for further information.
4. This configuration supports logging of debug output to a circular
buffer in RAM. This feature is discussed fully in this Wiki page:
http://nuttx.org/doku.php?id=wiki:howtos:syslog . Relevant
configuration settings are summarized below:
File System:
Device Drivers:
CONFIG_RAMLOG=y : Enable the RAM-based logging feature.
CONFIG_RAMLOG_CONSOLE=n : (We don't use the RAMLOG console)
CONFIG_RAMLOG_SYSLOG=y : This enables the RAM-based logger as the
system logger.
CONFIG_RAMLOG_NONBLOCKING=y : Needs to be non-blocking for dmesg
CONFIG_RAMLOG_BUFSIZE=16384 : Buffer size is 16KiB
NOTE: This RAMLOG feature is really only of value if debug output
is enabled. But, by default, no debug output is disabled in this
configuration. Therefore, there is no logic that will add anything
to the RAM buffer. This feature is configured and in place only
to support any future debugging needs that you may have.
If you don't plan on using the debug features, then by all means
disable this feature and save 16KiB of RAM!
NOTE: There is an issue with capturing data in the RAMLOG: If
the system crashes, all of the crash dump information will into
the RAMLOG and you will be unable to access it! You can tell that
the system has crashed because (a) it will be unresponsive and (b)
the RED LED will be blinking at about 2Hz.
That is another good reason to disable the RAMLOG!
5. This configuration executes out of SDRAM flash and is loaded into
SDRAM from NAND, Serial DataFlash, SD card or from a TFTPC sever via
U-Boot, BareBox, or the DRAMBOOT configuration described above. Data
also is positioned in SDRAM.
The load address is different for the DRAMBOOT program and the Linux
bootloaders. This can easily be reconfigured, however:
CONFIG_SAMA5D2XULT_DRAM_BOOT=y
See the section above entitled "Creating and Using DRAMBOOT" above
for more information. Here is a summary of the steps that I used
to boot the NSH configuration:
a. Create the DRAMBOOT program as described above. It should be
configured with CONFIG_SAMA5D2XULT_DRAM_START=y so that DRAMBOOT
will immediately start the program. You may not want to do
this is your prefer to break in with GDB.
b. Write the DRAMBOOT program binary (nuttx.bin) to a microSD
card as "boot.bin". Insert the microSD card into the boar;
The ROM Booloader should now boot DRAMBOOT on reset and you
should see this message:
Send Intel HEX file now
c. Build the NSH version of NuttX. Send the Intel HEX of NSH
at the prompt. After the file is received, NSH should start
automatically.
At times the past, have have tested with nuttx.bin on an SD card and
booting with U-Boot. These are the commands that I used to boot NuttX
from the SD card:
U-Boot> fatload mmc 0 0x20008000 nuttx.bin
U-Boot> go 0x20008040
6. Board LEDs and buttons are supported as described under "Buttons and
LEDs". The interrupt button test is also enabled as an NSH built-in
commands. To run this test, you simply inter the command:
nsh>buttons [npresses]
The interrupt button test will log button press information to the
syslog. Since the RAMLOG is enabled, the SYSLOG output will be
captured to a circular buffer in ram and may be examined using the
NSH dmesg command:
nsh> buttons 2
nsh> dmesg
maxbuttons: 2
Attached handler at 200106f0 to button 0 [PB_USER], oldhandler:0
IRQ:81 Button 0:PB_USER SET:01:
PB_USER depressed
IRQ:81 Button 0:PB_USER SET:00:
PB_USER released
IRQ:81 Button 0:PB_USER SET:01:
PB_USER depressed
IRQ:81 Button 0:PB_USER SET:00:
PB_USER released
7. This configuration supports /dev/null, /dev/zero, and /dev/random.
CONFIG_DEV_NULL=y : Enables /dev/null
CONFIG_DEV_ZERO=y : Enabled /dev/zero
Support for /dev/random is implemented using the SAMA5D2's True
Random Number Generator (TRNG). See the section above entitled
"TRNG and /dev/random" for information about configuring /dev/random.
CONFIG_SAMA5_TRNG=y : Enables the TRNG peripheral
CONFIG_DEV_RANDOM=y : Enables /dev/random
8. This configuration has support for NSH built-in applications enabled.
No built-in applications are enabled, however.
9. This configuration has support for the FAT and PROCFS file
systems built in.
The FAT file system includes long file name support. Please be aware
that Microsoft claims patents against the long file name support (see
more discussion in the top-level COPYING file).
CONFIG_FS_FAT=y : Enables the FAT file system
CONFIG_FAT_LCNAMES=y : Enable lower case 8.3 file names
CONFIG_FAT_LFN=y : Enables long file name support
CONFIG_FAT_MAXFNAME=32 : Arbitrarily limits the size of a path
segment name to 32 bytes
The PROCFS file system is enabled simply with:
CONFIG_FS_PROCFS=y : Enable PROCFS file system
10. The Real Time Clock/Calendar (RTC) is enabled in this configuration.
See the section entitled "RTC" above for detailed configuration
settings.
The RTC alarm is not enabled by default since there is nothing in
this configuration that uses it. The alarm can easily be enabled,
however, as described in the "RTC" section.
The time value from the RTC will be used as the NuttX system time
in all timestamp operations. You may use the NSH 'date' command
to set or view the RTC as described above in the "RTC" section.
NOTE: If you want the RTC to preserve time over power cycles, you
will need to install a battery in the battery holder (J12) and close
the jumper, JP13.
