+
+Using OpenOCD and GDB with an FT2232 JTAG emulator
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ Building OpenOCD under Cygwin:
+
+ Refer to configs/lm4f120-launchpad/README.txt
+
+ Installing OpenOCD in Linux:
+
+ sudo apt-get install openocd
+
+ Helper Scripts.
+
+ I have been using the on-board FT2232 JTAG/SWD/SWO interface. OpenOCD
+ requires a configuration file. I keep the one I used last here:
+
+ configs/lm4f120-launchpad/tools/lm4f120-launchpad.cfg
+
+ However, the "correct" configuration script to use with OpenOCD may
+ change as the features of OpenOCD evolve. So you should at least
+ compare that lm4f120-launchpad.cfg file with configuration files in
+ /usr/share/openocd/scripts. As of this writing, the configuration
+ files of interest were:
+
+ /usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/luminary.cfg
+ /usr/share/openocd/scripts/board/ek-lm3s6965.cfg
+ /usr/share/openocd/scripts/target/stellaris.cfg
+
+ There is also a script on the tools/ directory that I use to start
+ the OpenOCD daemon on my system called oocd.sh. That script will
+ probably require some modifications to work in another environment:
+
+ - Possibly the value of OPENOCD_PATH and TARGET_PATH
+ - It assumes that the correct script to use is the one at
+ configs/lm4f120-launchpad/tools/lm4f120-launchpad.cfg
+
+ Starting OpenOCD
+
+ Then you should be able to start the OpenOCD daemon like:
+
+ configs/lm4f120-launchpad/tools/oocd.sh $PWD
+
+ Connecting GDB
+
+ Once the OpenOCD daemon has been started, you can connect to it via
+ GDB using the following GDB command:
+
+ arm-nuttx-elf-gdb
+ (gdb) target remote localhost:3333
+
+ NOTE: The name of your GDB program may differ. For example, with the
+ CodeSourcery toolchain, the ARM GDB would be called arm-none-eabi-gdb.
+
+ After starting GDB, you can load the NuttX ELF file:
+
+ (gdb) symbol-file nuttx
+ (gdb) monitor reset
+ (gdb) monitor halt
+ (gdb) load nuttx
+
+ NOTES:
+ 1. Loading the symbol-file is only useful if you have built NuttX to
+ include debug symbols (by setting CONFIG_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=y in the
+ .config file).
+ 2. The MCU must be halted prior to loading code using 'mon reset'
+ as described below.
+
+ OpenOCD will support several special 'monitor' commands. These
+ GDB commands will send comments to the OpenOCD monitor. Here
+ are a couple that you will need to use:
+
+ (gdb) monitor reset
+ (gdb) monitor halt
+
+ NOTES:
+ 1. The MCU must be halted using 'mon halt' prior to loading code.
+ 2. Reset will restart the processor after loading code.
+ 3. The 'monitor' command can be abbreviated as just 'mon'.
+
+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 NuttX buildroot Toolchain (default, see below),
+ 2. The CodeSourcery GNU toolchain,
+ 3. The devkitARM GNU toolchain,
+ 4. The Atollic toolchain, or
+ 5. The Code Red toolchain
+
+ All testing has been conducted using the Buildroot toolchain for Cygwin/Linux.
+ To use a different toolchain, you simply need to add one of the following
+ configuration options to your .config (or defconfig) file:
+
+ CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin (default)
+ CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows or Cygwin
+ CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux
+ CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_DEVKITARM=y : The Atollic toolchain under Windows or Cygwin
+ CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODEREDW=y : The Code Red toolchain under Windows
+ CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_CODEREDL=y : The Code Red toolchain under Linux
+
+ CONFIG_ARMV7M_OABI_TOOLCHAIN=y : If you use an older, OABI buildroot toolchain
+
+ If you change the default toolchain, then you may also have to modify the PATH in
+ the setenv.h file if your make cannot find the tools.
+
+ NOTE: the CodeSourcery (for Windows), Atollic, devkitARM, and Code Red (for Windows)
+ toolchains are Windows native toolchains. The CodeSourcey (for Linux) and NuttX
+ buildroot 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.
+
+ 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/lm,
+ 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/lm/lm_vectors.S.
+
+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.sh lm4f120-launchpad/<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
+^^^^
+ The LM32F120 has a single RGB LED. If CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS is defined, then
+ support for the LaunchPad LEDs will be included in the build. See:
+
+ - configs/lm4f120-launchpad/include/board.h - Defines LED constants, types and
+ prototypes the LED interface functions.
+
+ - configs/lm4f120-launchpad/src/lm4f120-launchpad.h - GPIO settings for the LEDs.
+
+ - configs/lm4f120-launchpad/src/up_leds.c - LED control logic.
+
+ OFF:
+ - OFF means that the OS is still initializing. Initialization is very fast so
+ if you see this at all, it probably means that the system is hanging up
+ somewhere in the initialization phases.
+
+ GREEN or GREEN-ish
+ - This means that the OS completed initialization.
+
+ Bluish:
+ - Whenever and interrupt or signal handler is entered, the BLUE LED is
+ illuminated and extinguished when the interrupt or signal handler exits.
+ This will add a BLUE-ish tinge to the LED.
+
+ Redish:
+ - If a recovered assertion occurs, the RED component will be illuminated
+ briefly while the assertion is handled. You will probably never see this.
+
+ Flashing RED:
+ - In the event of a fatal crash, the BLUE and GREEN components will be
+ extinguished and the RED component will FLASH at a 2Hz rate.
+
+USB Device Controller Functions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ Device Overview
+
+ An FT2232 device from Future Technology Devices International Ltd manages
+ USB-to-serial conversion. The FT2232 is factory configured by Luminary
+ Micro to implement a JTAG/SWD port (synchronous serial) on channel A and
+ a Virtual COM Port (VCP) on channel B. This feature allows two simultaneous
+ communications links between the host computer and the target device using
+ a single USB cable. Separate Windows drivers for each function are provided
+ on the Documentation and Software CD.
+
+ Debugging with JTAG/SWD
+
+ The FT2232 USB device performs JTAG/SWD serial operations under the control
+ of the debugger or the Luminary Flash Programmer. It also operate as an
+ In-Circuit Debugger Interface (ICDI), allowing debugging of any external
+ target board. Debugging modes:
+
+ MODE DEBUG FUNCTION USE SELECTED BY
+ 1 Internal ICDI Debug on-board LM4F120 Default Mode
+ microcontroller over USB
+ interface.
+ 2 ICDI out to JTAG/SWD The EVB is used as a USB Connecting to an external
+ header to SWD/JTAG interface to target and starting debug
+ an external target. software. The red Debug Out
+ LED will be ON.
+ 3 In from JTAG/SWD For users who prefer an Connecting an external
+ header external debug interface debugger to the JTAG/SWD
+ (ULINK, JLINK, etc.) with header.
+ the EVB.
+
+ Virtual COM Port
+
+ The Virtual COM Port (VCP) allows Windows applications (such as HyperTerminal)
+ to communicate with UART0 on the LM4F120 over USB. Once the FT2232 VCP
+ driver is installed, Windows assigns a COM port number to the VCP channel.
+
+LM4F120 LaunchPad 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_CORTEXM3=y
+
+ CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP - Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory
+
+ CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP=lm
+
+ CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code to identify the exact
+ chip:
+
+ CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_LM4F120
+
+ CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
+ hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.
+
+ CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=lm4f120-launchpad (for the LM4F120 LaunchPad)
+
+ CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
+
+ CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_LM4FLAUNCHPAD

+ 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=0x00010000 (64Kb)
+
+ CONFIG_DRAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
+
+ CONFIG_DRAM_START=0x20000000
+
+ CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO - The LM4F120 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

+ 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.
+
+ There are configurations for disabling support for interrupts GPIO ports.
+ GPIOJ must be disabled because it does not exist on the LM4F120.

+ CONFIG_UARTn_BAUD - The configure BAUD of the UART. Must be
+ CONFIG_UARTn_BITS - The number of bits. Must be either 7 or 8.
+ CONFIG_UARTn_PARTIY - 0=no parity, 1=odd parity, 2=even parity
+ CONFIG_UARTn_2STOP - Two stop bits
+
+ CONFIG_SSI0_DISABLE - Select to disable support for SSI0
+ CONFIG_SSI1_DISABLE - Select to disable support for SSI1
+ CONFIG_SSI_POLLWAIT - Select to disable interrupt driven SSI support.
+ Poll-waiting is recommended if the interrupt rate would be to
+ high in the interrupt driven case.
+ CONFIG_SSI_TXLIMIT - Write this many words to the Tx FIFO before
+ emptying the Rx FIFO. If the SPI frequency is high and this
+ value is large, then larger values of this setting may cause
+ Rx FIFO overrun errors. Default: half of the Tx FIFO size (4).
+
+ CONFIG_LM_ETHERNET - This must be set (along with CONFIG_NET)
+ to build the Stellaris Ethernet driver
+ CONFIG_LM_ETHLEDS - Enable to use Ethernet LEDs on the board.
+ CONFIG_LM_BOARDMAC - If the board-specific logic can provide
+ a MAC address (via lm_ethernetmac()), then this should be selected.
+ CONFIG_LM_ETHHDUPLEX - Set to force half duplex operation
+ CONFIG_LM_ETHNOAUTOCRC - Set to suppress auto-CRC generation
+ CONFIG_LM_ETHNOPAD - Set to suppress Tx padding
+ CONFIG_LM_MULTICAST - Set to enable multicast frames
+ CONFIG_LM_PROMISCUOUS - Set to enable promiscuous mode
+ CONFIG_LM_BADCRC - Set to enable bad CRC rejection.
+ CONFIG_LM_DUMPPACKET - Dump each packet received/sent to the console.

+Configurations
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each LM4F120 LaunchPad configuration is maintained in a
+sub-directory and can be selected as follow:
+
+ cd tools
+ ./configure.sh lm4f120-launchpad/<subdir>
+ cd -
+ . ./setenv.sh
+
+Where <subdir> is one of the following:
+
+ ostest:
+ This configuration directory, performs a simple OS test using
+ examples/ostest.
+
+ 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. Default platform/toolchain:
+
+ CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y : Linux (Cygwin under Windows okay too).
+ CONFIG_ARMV7M_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : Buildroot (arm-nuttx-elf-gcc)
+ CONFIG_RAW_BINARY=y : Output formats: ELF and raw binary
