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. Testing was performed using the Cygwin
environment.
GNU Toolchain Options
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The NuttX make system has been modified to support the following different
toolchain options.
1. The CodeSourcery GNU toolchain,
2. The devkitARM GNU toolchain, ok
4. The NuttX buildroot Toolchain (see below).
All testing has been conducted using the NuttX buildroot toolchain. However,
the make system is setup to default to use the devkitARM toolchain. To use
the CodeSourcery, devkitARM or Raisonance GNU toolchain, you simply need to
add one of the following configuration options to your .config (or defconfig)
file:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_ATOLLIC=y : Atollic toolchain for Windos
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_DEVKITARM=y : devkitARM under Windows
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin (default)
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIL=y : Generic GCC ARM EABI toolchain for Linux
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIW=y : Generic GCC ARM EABI toolchain for Windows
If you are not using CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT, then you may also
have to modify the PATH in the setenv.h file if your make cannot find the tools.
NOTE about Windows native toolchains
------------------------------------
The CodeSourcery (for Windows), Atollic, and devkitARM toolchains are
Windows native toolchains. The CodeSourcery (for Linux), NuttX buildroot,
and, perhaps, the generic GCC 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
NOTE 1: 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.
NOTE 2: The devkitARM toolchain includes a version of MSYS make. Make sure that
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 (There is a simple RIDE project
in the RIDE subdirectory).
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).
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/sam34,
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/sam34/sam_vectors.S. You may need 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.shsam4l-xplained/<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.
LEDs
^^^^
There are three LEDs on board the SAM4L Xplained Pro board: The EDBG
controls two of the LEDs, a power LED and a status LED. There is only
one user controllable LED, a yellow LED labeled LED0 near the SAM4L USB
connector.
This LED is controlled by PC07 and LED0 can be activated by driving the
PC07 to GND.
When CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is defined in the NuttX configuration, NuttX will
control LED0 as follows:
SYMBOL Meaning LED0
------------------- ----------------------- ------
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 is LED0 is statically on, NuttX has successfully booted and is,
apparently, running normmally. If LED0 is flashing at approximately
2Hz, then a fatal error has been detected and the system has halted.
Serial Consoles
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
USART0
------
USART0 is available on connectors EXT1 and EXT4
EXT1 EXT4 GPIO Function
---- ---- ------ -----------
13 13 PB00 USART0_RXD
14 14 PB01 USART0_TXD
19 19 GND
20 20 VCC
If you have a TTL to RS-232 convertor then this is the most convenient
serial console to use. It is the default in all of these configurations.
An option is to use the virtual COM port.
Virtual COM Port
----------------
The SAM4L Xplained Pro contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG) that can be
used to program and debug the ATSAM4LC4C using Serial Wire Debug (SWD).
The Embedded debugger also include a Virtual Com port interface over
USART1. Virtual COM port connections:
PC26 USART1 RXD
PC27 USART1 TXD
SAM4L Xplained Pro-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_CORTEXM4=y
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP - Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP="sam34"
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code to identify the exact
chip:
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_SAM34
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_SAM4L
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_ATSAM4LC4C
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=sam4l-xplained (for the SAM4L Xplained Pro development board)
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_SAM4L_XPLAINED=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_DRAM_SIZE - Describes the installed DRAM (SRAM in this case):
CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE=0x00008000 (32Kb)
CONFIG_DRAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
CONFIG_DRAM_START=0x20000000
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO - The SAM3UF103Z supports interrupt prioritization
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO=y
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.

Configurations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Each SAM4L Xplained Pro configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:
cd tools
./configure.shsam4l-xplained/<subdir>
cd -
. ./setenv.sh
Before sourcing the setenv.sh file above, you should examine it and perform
edits as necessary so that BUILDROOT_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.
NOTE: 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
and misc/tools/
b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
reconfiguration process.
NOTES:
1. These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool. To

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. Unless stated otherwise, all configurations generate console
output of on USART0 which is available on EXT1 or EXT4 (see the
section "Serial Consoles" above). The virtual COM port could
be used, instead, by reconfiguring to use USART1 instead of
USART0:
System Type -> AT91SAM3/4 Peripheral Support
CONFIG_SAM_USART0=y
CONFIG_SAM_USART1=n
Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> Serial Console
CONFIG_USART0_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> USART0 Configuration
CONFIG_USART0_2STOP=0
CONFIG_USART0_BAUD=115200
CONFIG_USART0_BITS=8
CONFIG_USART0_PARITY=0
CONFIG_USART0_RXBUFSIZE=256
CONFIG_USART0_TXBUFSIZE=256
3. Unless otherwise stated, the configurations are setup for
Linux (or any other POSIX environment like Cygwin under Windows):
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y : Linux or other POSIX environment
4. These configurations use the older, OABI, buildroot toolchain. But
that is easily reconfigured:
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : Buildroot toolchain
CONFIG_ARMV7M_OABI_TOOLCHAIN=y : Older, OABI toolchain
If you want to use the Atmel GCC toolchain, here are the steps to
do so:
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Windows
CONFIG_HOST_CYGWIN=y : Using Cygwin or other POSIX environment
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABIW=y : General GCC EABI toolchain under windows
This re-configuration should be done before making NuttX or else the
subsequent 'make' will fail. If you have already attempted building
NuttX then you will have to 1) 'make distclean' to remove the old
configuration, 2) 'cd tools; ./configure.sh sam3u-ek/ksnh' to start
with a fresh configuration, and 3) perform the configuration changes
above.
Also, make sure that your PATH variable has the new path to your
Atmel tools. Try 'which arm-none-eabi-gcc' to make sure that you
are selecting the right tool. setenv.sh is available for you to
use to set or 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.
