README
^^^^^^

This README discusses issues unique to NuttX configurations for the
Atmel SAM4L Xplained Pro development board.  This board features the
ATSAM4LC4C MCU.

The SAM4L Xplained Pro Starter Kit is bundled with four modules:

1) I/O1   - An MMC/SD card slot, PWM LED control, ADC light sensor, UART
            loopback, TWI AT30TSE758 Temperature sensor.
2) OLED1  - An OLED plus 3 additional switches and 3 additional LEDs
3) SLCD1  - A segment LCD that connects directly to the "EXT5 SEGMENT LCD"
           connector
4) PROTO1 - A prototyping board with logic on board (other than power-related
            logic).

Modules
^^^^^^^
  The SAM4L Xplained Pro Starter Kit is bundled with four modules:

  I/O1
  ----
    The primary function of this module is to provide SD card support, but
    the full list of modules features include:

    - microSD card connector (SPI interface)
    - PWM (LED control)
    - ADC (light sensor)
    - UART loopback
    - TWI AT30TSE758 Temperature sensor with EEPROM

    SPI is available on two of the SAM4L Xplained connectors, EXT1 and EXT2.
    They mate with the I/O1 connector as indicated in this table.

    Card Detect
    -----------
    When a microSD card is put into the connector SW_A and SW_B are short-
    circuited. SW_A is connected to the microSD_DETECT signal. To use this
    as a card indicator remember to enable internal pullup in the target
    device.

    GPIOs

    See the set-up in the discussion of the nsh configuration below for other
    required configuration options.

  PROTO1
  ------
  A prototyping board with logic on board (other than power-related logic).
  There is no built-in support for the PROTO1 module.

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

    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
    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.

  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.

Configuration sub-directories
-----------------------------

  ostest:
    This configuration directory performs a simple OS test using
    examples/ostest.  See NOTES above.

    NOTES:

  nsh:
    This configuration directory will built the NuttShell.  See NOTES above
    and below:

    NOTES:

    1. NOTE: If you get a compilation error like:

         libxx_new.cxx:74:40: error: 'operator new' takes type 'size_t'
                              ('unsigned int') as first parameter [-fper

       Sometimes NuttX and your toolchain will disagree on the underlying
       type of size_t; sometimes it is an 'unsigned int' and sometimes it is
       an 'unsigned long int'.  If this error occurs, then you may need to
       toggle the value of CONFIG_CXX_NEWLONG.

    2. If the I/O1 module is connected to the SAM4L Xplained Pro, then
       support for the SD card slot can be enabled by making the following
       changes to the configuration:

       File Systems:
         CONFIG_FS_FAT=y                   : Enable the FAT file system
         CONFIG_FAT_LCNAMES=y              : Enable upper/lower case 8.3 file names (Optional, see below)
         CONFIG_FAT_LFN=y                  : Enable long file named (Optional, see below)
         CONFIG_FAT_MAXFNAME=32            : Maximum supported file name length

         There are issues related to patents that Microsoft holds on FAT long
         file name technologies.  See the top level COPYING file for further
         details.

       System Type -> Peripherals:
         CONFIG_SAM34_SPI=y                : Enable the SAM4L SPI peripheral

       Device Drivers
         CONFIG_SPI=y                      : Enable SPI support
         CONFIG_SPI_EXCHANGE=y             : The exchange() method is supported
         CONFIG_SPI_OWNBUS=y               : Smaller code if this is the only SPI device

         CONFIG_MMCSD=y                    : Enable MMC/SD support
         CONFIG_MMCSD_NSLOTS=1             : Only one MMC/SD card slot
         CONFIG_MMCSD_MULTIBLOCK_DISABLE=n : Should not need to disable multi-block transfers
         CONFIG_MMCSD_HAVECARDDETECT=y     : I/O1 module as a card detect GPIO
         CONFIG_MMCSD_SPI=y                : Use the SPI interface to the MMC/SD card
         CONFIG_MMCSD_SPICLOCK=20000000    : This is a guess for the optimal MMC/SD frequency
         CONFIG_MMCSD_SPIMODE=0            : Mode 0 is required

       Board Selection -> Common Board Options
         CONFIG_NSH_MMCSDSLOTNO=0          : Only one MMC/SD slot, slot 0
         CONFIG_NSH_MMCSDSPIPORTNO=0       : Use CS=0 if the I/O1 is in EXT1, OR
         CONFIG_NSH_MMCSDSPIPORTNO=2       : Use CS=2 if the I/O1 is in EXT2

       Board Selection -> SAM4L Xplained Pro Modules
         CONFIG_SAM4L_XPLAINED_IOMODULE=y      : I/O1 module is connected
         CONFIG_SAM4L_XPLAINED_IOMODULE_EXT1=y : In EXT1, or EXT2
         CONFIG_SAM4L_XPLAINED_IOMODULE_EXT2=y

       Application Configuration -> NSH Library
         CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y             : Board has architecture-specific initialization

       NOTE: If you enable the I/O1 this configuration with USART0 as the
       console and with the I/O1 module in EXT1, you *must* remove UART
       jumper.  Otherwise, you have lookpack on USART0 and NSH will *not*
       behave very well (since its outgoing prompts also appear as incoming
       commands).

       STATUS:  As of 2013-6-18, this configuration appears completely
       functional.  Testing, however, has been very light.  Example:

         NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-6.28
         nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/stuff
         nsh> ls /mnt/stuff
         /mnt/stuff:
         nsh> echo "This is a test" >/mnt/stuff/atest.txt
         nsh> ls /mnt/stuff
         /mnt/stuff:
          atest.txt
         nsh> cat /mnt/stuff/atest.txt
         This is a test
         nsh>

    3. If the OLED1 module is connected to the SAM4L Xplained Pro, then
       support for the OLED display can be enabled by making the following
       changes to the configuration:

       System Type -> Peripherals:
         CONFIG_SAM34_SPI=y                 : Enable the SAM4L SPI peripheral

       Device Drivers -> SPI
         CONFIG_SPI=y                       : Enable SPI support
         CONFIG_SPI_EXCHANGE=y              : The exchange() method is supported
         CONFIG_SPI_CMDDATA=y               : CMD/DATA support is required
         CONFIG_SPI_OWNBUS=y                : Smaller code if this is the only SPI device

       Device Drivers -> LCDs
         CONFIG_LCD=y                       : Enable LCD support
         CONFIG_LCD_MAXCONTRAST=255         : Maximum contrast value
         CONFIG_LCD_LANDSCAPE=y             : Landscape orientation (see below*)
         CONFIG_LCD_UG2832HSWEG04=y         : Enable support for the OLED
         CONFIG_LCD_SSD1306_SPIMODE=0       : SPI Mode 0
         CONFIG_LCD_SSD1306_SPIMODE=3500000 : Pick an SPI frequency

       Board Selection -> SAM4L Xplained Pro Modules
         CONFIG_SAM4L_XPLAINED_OLED1MODULE=y      : OLED1 module is connected
         CONFIG_SAM4L_XPLAINED_OLED1MODULE_EXT1=y : In EXT1, or EXT2
         CONFIG_SAM4L_XPLAINED_OLED1MODULE_EXT2=y

       The NX graphics subsystem also needs to be configured:

         CONFIG_NX=y                        : Enable graphics support
         CONFIG_NX_LCDDRIVER=y              : Using an LCD driver
         CONFIG_NX_NPLANES=1                : With a single color plane
         CONFIG_NX_WRITEONLY=n              : You can read from the LCD (see below**)
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_2BPP=y           : Disable all resolutions except 1BPP
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_4BPP=y
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_8BPP=y
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_16BPP=y
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_24BPP=y
         CONFIG_NX_DISABLE_32BPP=y
         CONFIG_NX_PACKEDMSFIRST=y          : LSB packed first (shouldn't matter)
         CONFIG_NXTK_BORDERWIDTH=2          : Use a small border
         CONFIG_NXTK_DEFAULT_BORDERCOLORS=y : Default border colors
         CONFIG_NXFONTS_CHARBITS=7          : 7-bit fonts
         CONFIG_NXFONT_SANS17X23B=y         : Pick a font (any that will fit)

        * This orientation will put the buttons "above" the LCD.  The
          reverse landscape configuration (CONFIG_LCD_RLANDSCAPE) will
          "flip" the display so that the buttons are "below" the LCD.

       ** The hardware is write only, but the driver maintains a frame buffer
          to support read and read-write-modiry operations on the LCD.
          Reading from the frame buffer is, however, untested.

       Then, in order to use the OLED, you will need to build some kind of
       graphics application or use one of the NuttX graphics examples.
       Here, for example, is the setup for the graphic "Hello, World!"
       example:

         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO=y                : Enables the example
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_DEFAULT_COLORS=y : Use default colors (see below *)
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_DEFAULT_FONT=y   : Use the default font
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_BPP=1            : One bit per pixel
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXHELLO_EXTERNINIT=y     : Special initialization is required.

        * The OLED is monochrome so the only "colors" are blacka nd white.
          The default "colors" will give you while text on a black background.
          You can override the faults it you want black text on a while background.

       NOTE:  One issue that I have seen with the NXHello example when
       running as an NSH command is that it only works the first time.
       So, after you run the 'nxhello' command one time, you will have to
       reset the board before you run it again.

       This is clearly some issue with initializing, un-initializing, and
       then re-initializing. If you want to fix this, patches are quite
       welcome.

    4. If the LCD1 module is connected to the SAM4L Xplained Pro, then
       support for the SLCDt can be enabled by making the following
       changes to the configuration:

       System Type -> AT91SAM3/4 Peripheral Support
         CONFIG_SAM34_LCDCA=y

       System Type -> AT91SAM3/4 Clock Configuration
         CONFIG_SAM34_OSC32K=y

       Board Selection -> Board-Specific Options -> SAM4L Xplained Pro Modules
         CONFIG_SAM4L_XPLAINED_SLCD1MODULE=y

       Device Drivers
         CONFIG_LCD=y
         CONFIG_LCD_MAXCONTRAST=63

       Library Routines -> Non-standard Library Support
         CONFIG_LIB_SLCDCODEC=y

       The SLCD example can be enabled to verify the SLCD:

       Application Configuration -> Examples
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SLCD=y
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SLCD_DEVNAME="/dev/slcd"
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SLCD_BUFSIZE=64

       Application Configuration -> NSH Library
         CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y

       NOTE:  In order to use the segment LCD you *must* open the VLCD_A and
       VLCD_BC jumpers or the SLD will not be powered!
