Contents ======== - Development Environment - GNU Toolchain Options - IDEs - NuttX buildroot Toolchain - STM3240G-EVAL-specific Configuration Options - LEDs - Ethernet - PWM - Configurations 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 because the Raisonance R-Link emulatator and some RIDE7 development tools were used and those tools works only under Windows. 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, 3. Raisonance GNU toolchain, or 4. The NuttX buildroot Toolchain (see below). All testing has been conducted using the CodeSourcery toolchain for Windows. To use the devkitARM, Raisonance GNU, or NuttX buildroot toolchain, you simply need to add one of the following configuration options to your .config (or defconfig) file: CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux CONFIG_STM32_DEVKITARM=y : devkitARM under Windows CONFIG_STM32_RAISONANCE=y : Raisonance RIDE7 under Windows CONFIG_STM32_BUILDROOT=y : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin (default) 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), devkitARM, and Raisonance 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. Support has been added for making dependencies with the windows-native toolchains. That support can be enabled by modifying your Make.defs file as follows: - MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mknulldeps.sh + MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mkdeps.sh --winpaths "$(TOPDIR)" If you have problems with the dependency build (for example, if you are not building on C:), then you may need to modify tools/mkdeps.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/stm32, 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/stm32/stm32_vectors.S. With RIDE, I have to build NuttX one time from the Cygwin command line in order to obtain the pre-built startup object needed by RIDE. NuttX 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/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189573). This GNU toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin environment. 1. You must have already configured Nuttx in /nuttx. cd tools ./configure.sh stm3240g-eval/ 2. Download the latest buildroot package into 3. unpack the buildroot tarball. The resulting directory may have versioning information on it like buildroot-x.y.z. If so, rename /buildroot-x.y.z to /buildroot. 4. cd /buildroot 5. cp configs/cortexm3-defconfig-4.3.3 .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 detailed PLUS some special instructions that you will need to follow if you are building a Cortex-M3 toolchain for Cygwin under Windows. Ethernet ======== The Ethernet driver is configured to use the MII interface: Board Jumper Settings: Jumper Description JP8 To enable MII, JP8 should not be fitted. JP6 2-3: Enable MII interface mode JP5 2-3: Provide 25 MHz clock for MII or 50 MHz clock for RMII by MCO at PA8 SB1 Not used with MII LEDs ==== The STM3240G-EVAL board has four LEDs labeled LD1, LD2, LD3 and LD4 on the board.. 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/up_leds.c. The LEDs are used to encode OS-related\ events as follows: SYMBOL Meaning LED1* LED2 LED3 LED4 ------------------- ----------------------- ------- ------- ------- ------ LED_STARTED NuttX has been started ON OFF OFF OFF LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF ON OFF OFF LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled ON ON OFF OFF LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created OFF OFF ON OFF LED_INIRQ In an interrupt** ON N/C N/C OFF LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler*** N/C ON N/C OFF LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed ON ON N/C OFF LED_PANIC The system has crashed N/C N/C N/C ON LED_IDLE STM32 is is sleep mode (Optional, not used) * If LED1, LED2, LED3 are statically on, then NuttX probably failed to boot and these LEDs will give you some indication of where the failure was ** The normal state is LED3 ON and LED1 faintly glowing. This faint glow is because of timer interupts that result in the LED being illuminated on a small proportion of the time. *** LED2 may also flicker normally if signals are processed. PWM === The STM3240G-Eval has no real on-board PWM devices, but the board can be configured to output a pulse train using TIM4 CH2. This pin is used by FSMC is but is also connected to the Motor Control Connector (CN5) just for this purpose: PD13 FSMC_A18 / MC_TIM4_CH2 pin 33 (EnB) FSMC must be disabled in this case! PD13 is available at: Daughterboard Extension Connector, CN3, pin 32 - available TFT LCD Connector, CN19, pin 17 -- not available without removing the LCD. Motor Control Connector CN15, pin 33 -- not available unless you bridge SB14. STM3240G-EVAL-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=stm32 CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code to identify the exact chip: CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_STM32F407IG=y CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_STM32_CUSTOM_CLOCKCONFIG - Enables special STM32 clock configuration features. CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_STM32_CUSTOM_CLOCKCONFIG=n CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.

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.

STM3240G-EVAL LCD Hardware Configuration Configurations ============== Each STM3240G-EVAL configuration is maintained in a sudirectory and can be selected as follow: cd tools ./configure.sh stm3240g-eval/ cd - . ./setenv.sh Where is one of the following: dhcpd: ----- This builds the DCHP server using the apps/examples/dhcpd application (for execution from FLASH.) See apps/examples/README.txt for information about the dhcpd example. The server address is 10.0.0.1 and it serves IP addresses in the range 10.0.0.2 through 10.0.0.17 (all of which, of course, are configurable). CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows nettest: ------- This configuration directory may be used to verify networking performance using the STM32's Ethernet controller. It uses apps/examples/nettest to excercise the TCP/IP network. CONFIG_EXAMPLE_NETTEST_SERVER=n : Target is configured as the client CONFIG_EXAMPLE_NETTEST_PERFORMANCE=y : Only network performance is verified. CONFIG_EXAMPLE_NETTEST_IPADDR=(10<<24|0<<16|0<<8|2) : Target side is IP: 10.0.0.2 CONFIG_EXAMPLE_NETTEST_DRIPADDR=(10<<24|0<<16|0<<8|1) : Host side is IP: 10.0.0.1 CONFIG_EXAMPLE_NETTEST_CLIENTIP=(10<<24|0<<16|0<<8|1) : Server address used by which ever is client. ostest: ------ This configuration directory, performs a simple OS test using examples/ostest. By default, this project assumes that you are using the DFU bootloader. CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows nsh: --- Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at apps/examples/nsh. The Configuration enables both the serial and telnet NSH interfaces. CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows CONFIG_NSH_DHCPC=n : DHCP is disabled CONFIG_NSH_IPADDR=(10<<24|0<<16|0<<8|2) : Target IP address 10.0.0.2 CONFIG_NSH_DRIPADDR=(10<<24|0<<16|0<<8|1) : Host IP address 10.0.0.1 NOTE: This example assumes that a network is connected. During its initialization, it will try to negotiate the link speed. If you have no network connected when you reset the board, there will be a long delay (maybe 30 seconds?) before anything happens. That is the timeout before the networking finally gives up and decides that no network is available.
