|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
The 96Boards is based on the STMicroelectronics STM32F401RET Cortex-M4 CPU and
|
|
also contains a nRF51822 chip connected over SPI for BLE connectivity.
|
|
|
|
The 96Boards Carbon board is built with two chips: an STMicroelectronics
|
|
STM32F401RET Cortex-M4 CPU and an nRF51822 chip connected to
|
|
the Cortex-M4 CPU over SPI for Bluetooth LE connectivity. Even though
|
|
both chips exist on the same physical board, they must be programmed
|
|
separately:
|
|
|
|
- The ``96b_carbon`` configuration is used when developing programs for
|
|
the main chip on the board, the STM32F401RET. Users will likely want to
|
|
write applications targeting this chip, using the ``96b_carbon``
|
|
configuration, since it is connected to all of the breakout
|
|
I/O headers.
|
|
|
|
- The ``96b_carbon_nrf51`` configuration should be used for programming
|
|
the secondary nRF51822 chip. Most users will likely not develop
|
|
applications for this chip, since Zephyr already provides a
|
|
sample application that can be flashed onto the nRF51822
|
|
to provide Bluetooth functionality to applications on the main
|
|
STM32F401RET chip.
|
|
|
|
For instructions on how to set up the nRF51822 to develop Bluetooth
|
|
applications, see :ref:`96b_carbon_nrf51_bluetooth`.
|
|
|
|
After you have flashed your nRF51, you can perform basic validation
|
|
of this Bluetooth setup using the instructions
|
|
:ref:`below <96b_carbon_verify_bluetooth>`.

Programming and Debugging
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
There are 2 main entry points for flashing STM32F4X SoCs, one using the ROM
|
|
bootloader, and another by using the SWD debug port (which requires additional
|
|
hardware). Flashing using the ROM bootloader requires a special activation
|
|
pattern, which can be triggered by using the BOOT0 pin. The ROM bootloader
|
|
supports flashing via USB (DFU), UART, I2C and SPI. You can read more about
|
|
how to enable and use the ROM bootloader by checking the application
|
|
note `AN2606`_, page 109.
|
|
|
|
Flashing
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Installing dfu-util
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to use at least v0.8 of `dfu-util`_. The package available in
|
|
debian/ubuntu can be quite old, so you might have to build dfu-util from source.
|
|
|
|
Flashing an Application to 96Boards Carbon
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Connect the micro-USB cable to the USB OTG Carbon port and to your computer.
|
|
The board should power ON. Force the board into DFU mode by keeping the BOOT0
|
|
switch pressed while pressing and releasing the RST switch.
|
|
|
|
Confirm that the board is in DFU mode:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ sudo dfu-util -l
|
|
dfu-util 0.8

You should see following confirmation on your Linux host:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ dmesg
|
|
usb 1-2.1: new full-speed USB device number 14 using xhci_hcd
|
|

|
|
usb 1-2.1: Manufacturer: STMicroelectronics
|
|
usb 1-2.1: SerialNumber: 3574364C3034
|
|
|
|
Then build and flash an application. Here is an example for the
|
|
:ref:`hello_world` application.
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
|
|
:board: 96b_carbon
|
|
:goals: build flash
|
|
|
|
Connect the micro-USB cable to the USB UART (FTDI) port and to your computer.
|
|
Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ minicom -D <tty_device> -b 115200
|
|
|
|
Replace :code:`<tty_device>` with the port where the board 96Boards Carbon
|
|
can be found. For example, under Linux, :code:`/dev/ttyUSB0`.
|
|
The ``-b`` option sets baud rate ignoring the value from config.
|
|
|
|
Press the Reset button and you should see the the following message in your
|
|
terminal:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
Hello World! arm

Verifying Bluetooth Functionality
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This section contains instructions for verifying basic Bluetooth
|
|
functionality on the board. For help on Zephyr applications
|
|
in general, see :ref:`build_an_application`.
|
|
|
|
1. Flash the nRF51 with the hci_spi sample application as described in
|
|
:ref:`96b_carbon_nrf51_bluetooth`.
|
|
|
|
#. Install the dfu-util flashing app, as described above.
|
|
|
|
#. Build and flash the ``samples/bluetooth/ipsp`` application for
|
|
96b_carbon. See the instructions above for how to put your board
|
|
into DFU mode if you haven't done this before:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/bluetooth/ipsp
|
|
:board: 96b_carbon
|
|
:goals: build flash
|
|
|
|
#. Refer to the instructions in :ref:`bluetooth-ipsp-sample` for how
|
|
to verify functionality.
|
|
|
|
Congratulations! Your 96Boards Carbon now has Bluetooth
|
|
connectivity. Refer to :ref:`bluetooth` for additional information on
|
|
further Bluetooth application development.
|
|
|
|
Debugging
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
The 96b_carbon can be debugged by installing a 100 mil (0.1 inch) header
|
|
into the header at the bottom right hand side of the board, and
|
|
attaching an SWD debugger to the 3V3 (3.3V), GND, CLK, DIO, and RST
|
|
pins on that header. Then apply power to the 96Boards Carbon via one
|
|
of its USB connectors. You can now attach your debugger to the
|
|
STM32F401RET using an SWD scan.
