Development Environment
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Either Linux or Cygwin under 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
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
As of this writing, all testing has been performed using the NuttX buildroot
|
|
toolchain described below. I have also verified the build using the
|
|
CodeSourcery GCC toolchain for windows. Most any contemporary EABI GCC
|
|
toolchain should work will a little tinkering.
|
|
|
|
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-M0 GCC toolchain (if
|
|
different from the default in your PATH variable).
|
|
|
|
If you have no Cortex-M0 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 freedom-kl25z/<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/cortexm0-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-M0 toolchain for Cygwin under Windows.
|
|
|
|
LEDs
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
The Freedom KL25Z has a single RGB LED driven by the KL25Z as follows:
|
|
|
|
------------- --------
|
|
RGB LED KL25Z128
|
|
------------- --------
|
|
Red Cathode PTB18
|
|
Green Cathode PTB19
|
|
Blue Cathode PTD1
|
|
|
|
NOTE: PTD1 is also connected to the I/O header on J2 pin 10 (also known as D13).
|
|
|
|
If CONFIG_ARCH_LEDs is defined, then NuttX will control the LED on board the
|
|
Freedom KL25Z. The following definitions describe how NuttX controls the LEDs:
|
|
|
|
SYMBOL Meaning LED state
|
|
Initially all LED is OFF
|
|
------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------
|
|
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started R=OFF G=OFF B=OFF
|
|
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated (no change)
|
|
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled (no change)
|
|
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created R=OFF G=OFF B=ON
|
|
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt (no change)
|
|
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler (no change)
|
|
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed (no change)
|
|
LED_PANIC The system has crashed R=FLASHING G=OFF B=OFF
|
|
LED_IDLE K25Z1XX is in sleep mode (Optional, not used)
|
|
|
|
Serial Console
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
As with most NuttX configurations, the Freedom KL25Z configurations
|
|
depend on having a serial console to interact with the software. The
|
|
Freedom KL25Z, however, has no on-board RS-232 drivers so will be
|
|
necessary to connect the Freedom KL25Z UART pins to an external
|
|
RS-232 driver board or TTL-to-Serial USB adaptor.
|
|
|
|
By default UART0 is used as the serial console on this boards. The UART0
|
|
is configured to work with the OpenSDA USB CDC/ACM port:
|
|
|
|
------ ------------------------------- -----------------------------
|
|
PIN PIN FUNCTIONS BOARD SIGNALS
|
|
------ ------------------------------- -----------------------------
|
|
Pin 27 PTA1/TSI0_CH2/UART0_RX/FTM2_CH0 UART1_RX_TGTMCU and D0 (PTA1)
|
|
Pin 28 PTA2/TSI0_CH3/UART0_TX/FTM2_CH1 UART1_TX_TGTMCU and D1 (PTA2)
|
|
|
|
But the UART0 Tx/Rx signals are also available on J1:
|
|
|
|
---------------- ---------
|
|
UART0 SIGNAL J1 pin
|
|
---------------- ---------
|
|
UART0_RX (PTA1) J1, pin 2
|
|
UART0_TX (PTA2) J1, pin 4
|
|
|
|
Ground is available on J2 pin 14. 3.3V is available on J3 and J4.
|
|
|
|
mbed
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
The Freedom KL25Z includes a built-in SDA debugger. An alternative
|
|
to the SDA bootloader is this boot loader from mbed:
|
|
|
|
http://mbed.org/handbook/mbed-FRDM-KL25Z-Getting-Started
|
|
http://mbed.org/handbook/Firmware-FRDM-KL25Z
|
|
|
|
Using the mbed loader:
|
|
|
|
1. Connect the KL25Z to the host PC using the USB connector labeled
|
|
SDA.
|
|
2. A new file system will appear called MBED; open it with Windows
|
|
Explorer (assuming that you are using Windows).
|
|
3. Drag and drop nuttx.bin into the MBED window. This will load the
|
|
nuttx.bin binary into the KL25Z. The MBED window will close
|
|
then re-open and the KL25Z will be running the new code.
|
|
|
|
Using the Freescale SDA debugger is essentially the same. That
|
|
debugger will also accept .hex file.
|
|
|
|
Freedom KL25Z-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_CORTEXM0=y
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP - Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP=kl
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code to identify the exact
|
|
chip:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_MKL25Z128=y
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
|
|
hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=freedom-kl25z (for the Freescale FRDM-KL25Z development board)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_FREEDOM_K25Z128=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=16384 (16Kb)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_RAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_RAM_START=0x20000000
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Individual subsystems can be enabled as follows. These settings are for
|
|
all of the K25Z100/120 line and may not be available for the MKL25Z128

Configurations
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Each FREEDOM-KL25Z configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
|
|
can be selected as follow:
|
|
|
|
cd tools
|
|
./configure.sh freedom-kl25z/<subdir>
|
|
cd -
|
|
. ./setenv.sh
|
|
|
|
If this is a Windows native build, then configure.bat should be used
|
|
instead of configure.sh:
|
|
|
|
configure.bat freedom-kl25z\<subdir>
|
|
|
|
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
|
|
|
|
minnsh:
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
This is a experiment to see just how small we can get a usable NSH
|
|
configuration. This configuration has far fewer features than the nsh
|
|
configuration but is also a fraction of the size.
|
|
|
|
nsh:
|
|
---
|
|
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at apps/examples/nsh. The
|
|
Configuration enables the serial interface on UART0. Support for
|
|
builtin applications is disabled.
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. To
|
|
change this configuration using that tool, you should:
|
|
|
|
a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool. See nuttx/README.txt
|
|
and misc/tools/
|
|
|
|
b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
|
|
reconfiguration process.
|
|
|
|
2. By default, this configuration uses the CodeSourcery toolchain
|
|
for Windows and builds under Cygwin (or probably MSYS). That
|
|
can easily be reconfigured, of course.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Builds under Windows
|
|
CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y : Using Cygwin
|
|
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery for Windows
|
|
|
|
3. Serial Console. A serial console is necessary to interrupt with
|
|
NSH. The serial console is configured on UART0 which is available
|
|
on J1:
|
|
|
|
---------------- ---------
|
|
UART0 SIGNAL J1 pin
|
|
---------------- ---------
|
|
UART0_RX (PTA1) J1, pin 2
|
|
UART0_TX (PTA2) J1, pin 4
|
|
|
|
Ground is available on J2 pin 14. 3.3V is available on J3 and J4.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to configure NSH to use a USB serial console instead
|
|
of an RS-232 serial console. However, that configuration has not
|
|
been impelmented as of this writing.
|
|
|
|
4. Memory Usage. The size command gives us the static memory usage.
|
|
This is what I get:
|
|
|
|
$ size nuttx
|
|
text data bss dec hex filename
|
|
35037 106 1092 36235 8d8b nuttx
|
|
|
|
And we can get the runtime memory usage from the NSH free command:
|
|
|
|
NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-6.25
|
|
nsh> free
|
|
total used free largest
|
|
Mem: 14160 3944 10216 10216
|
|
nsh>
|
|
|
|
Summary:
|
|
|
|
- This slightly tuned NSH example uses 34.2KB of FLASH leaving 93.8KB
|
|
of FLASH (72%) free from additional application development.
|
|
|
|
I did not do all of the arithmetic, but it appears to me that of this
|
|
34+KB of FLASH usage, probably 20-30% of the FLASH is used by libgcc!
|
|
libgcc has gotten very fat!
|
|
|
|
- Static SRAM usage is about 1.2KB (<4%).
|
|
|
|
- At run time, 10.0KB of SRAM (62%) is still available for additional
|
|
applications. Most of the memory used at runtime is allocated I/O
|
|
buffers and the stack for the NSH main thread (1.5KB).
|
|
|
|
There is probably enough free memroy to support 3 or 4 application
|
|
threads in addition to NSH.
|
|
|
|
5. This configurations has support for NSH built-in applications. However,
|
|
in the default configuration no built-in applications are enabled.
|
|
|
|
6. This configuration has been used to verify the TI CC3000 wireless
|
|
networking module. In order to enable this module, you would need to
|
|
make the following changes to the default configuration files:
|
|
|
|
