README

  This directory contains the port of NuttX to the pcDuino v1 board
  See http://www.pcduino.com/ for information about pcDuino Lite, v1,
  and v2.  These boards are based around the Allwinner A10 Cortex-A8 CPU.
  I have not compared these boards in detail, but I believe that the
  differences are cosmetic.  This port was developed on the v1 board, but
  the others may be compatible:

Serial Console
==============

  1. UART0 is available on J5 Debug Port.

     J15 Pin 1 Rx                UART0-RX  UART0_RX/IR1_RX/PB23
     J15 Pin 2 Tx                UART0-TX  UART0_TX/IR1_TX/PB22

  2. UART2 is available on J11

     J11 Pin1  UART-Rx / GPIO0   UART2_RX  EINT31/SPI1_MISO/UART2_RX/PI19
     J11 Pin2  UART-Tx / GPIO1   UART2_TX  EINT30/SPI1_MOSI/UART2_TX/PI18

  By default, the serial console will be provided on UART0 in all of these
  configurations.

LEDs
====

  The pcDuino v1 has four green LEDs; three can be controlled from software.
  Two are tied to ground and, hence, illuminated by driving the output pins
  to a high value:

    1. LED1 SPI0_CLK  SPI0_CLK/UART5_RX/EINT23/PI11
    2. LED5 IPSOUT    From the PMU (not controllable by software)

  And two are pull high and, hence, illuminated by grounding the output:

    3. LED3 RX_LED    LCD1_D16/ATAD12/KP_IN6/SMC_DET/EINT16/CSI1_D16/PH16
    4. LED4 TX_LED    LCD1_D15/ATAD11/KP_IN5/SMC_VPPPP/EINT15/CSI1_D15/PH15

  These 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/stm32_leds.c. The LEDs are used to encode OS-related
  events as follows:

    SYMBOL            Meaning                      LED state
                                               LED1 LED3 LED4
    ----------------- -----------------------  ---- ---- ------------
    LED_STARTED       NuttX has been started   ON   OFF  OFF
    LED_HEAPALLOCATE  Heap has been allocated  OFF  ON   OFF
    LED_IRQSENABLED   Interrupts enabled       ON   ON   OFF
    LED_STACKCREATED  Idle stack created       ON   ON   OFF
    LED_INIRQ         In an interrupt          N/C  N/C  Soft glow
    LED_SIGNAL        In a signal handler      N/C  N/C  Soft glow
    LED_ASSERTION     An assertion failed      N/C  N/C  Soft glow
    LED_PANIC         The system has crashed   N/C  N/C  2Hz Flashing
    LED_IDLE          MCU is is sleep mode         Not used

  After booting, LED1 and 3 are not longer used by the system and can be used for
  other purposes by the application (Of course, all LEDs are available to the
  application if CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is not defined.

Buttons
=======

  There are a total of five switches on-board.  All pulled high and, hence,
  will be sensed as low when closed.

    SW1 Reset     (not available to software)
    SW2 UBOOT     UBOOT_SEL (?)
    SW3 Key_Back  LCD1_D17/ATAD13/KP_IN7/SMC_VCCEN/EINT17/CSI1_D17/PH17
    SW4 Key_Home  LCD1_D18/ATAD14/KP_OUT0/SMC_SLK/EINT18/CSI1_D18/PH18
    SW5 Key_Menu  LCD1_D19/ATAD15/KP_OUT1/SMC_SDA/EINT19/CSI1_D19/PH19

Booting NuttX from an SD card
=============================

  These are the steps to get U-Boot booting from SD Card:

  $ git clone https://github.com/yuq/u-boot-sunxi.git
  $ cd u-boot-sunxi
  $ make pcduino CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
  $ sudo dd if=./spl/sunxi-spl.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8
  $ sudo dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=32

  We need to replace u-boot.bin by nuttx.bin.
