|
||
|
||
The Evaluation Kit includes an OLED graphics display. Features:
|
||
|
||
- RiT P14201 series display
|
||
- 128 columns by 96 rows
|
||
- 4-bit, 16-level gray scale.
|
||
- High-contrast (typ. 500:1)
|
||
- Excellent brightness (120 cd/m2)
|
||
- Fast 10 us response.
|
||
|
||
The OLED display has a built-in controller IC with synchronous serial and
|
||
parallel interfaces (SSD1329). Synchronous serial (SSI) is used on the EVB.
|
||
The SSI port is shared with the microSD card slot.
|
||
|
||
- PC7: OLED display data/control select (D/Cn)
|
||
- PA3: OLED display chip select (CSn)
|
||
|
||
NOTE: Newer versions of the LM3S6965 Evaluation Kit has an OSAM 128x64x4 OLED
|
||
display. Some tweaks to drivers/lcd/p14201.c would be required to support that
|
||
LCD.
|
||
|
||
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,
|
||
3. 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 or devkitARM, you simply need to add one of the following
|
||
configuration options to your .config (or defconfig) file:
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_LM3S_CODESOURCERYW=y : CodeSourcery under Windows
|
||
CONFIG_LM3S_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux
|
||
CONFIG_LM3S_DEVKITARM=y : devkitARM under Windows
|
||
CONFIG_LM3S_BUILDROOT=y : NuttX buildroot under Linux or Cygwin (default)
|
||
|
||
If you are not using CONFIG_LM3S_BUILDROOT, 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) and devkitARM 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.
|
||
|
||
NOTE 3: I recently (i.e., late 2011) tried building with the CodeSourcery Windows
|
||
toolchain. The code worked but required 40 seconds to boot (or even until the
|
||
status LED illuminates)!! Know idea why. With the buildroot tools, boot time is
|
||
a couple of seconds.
|
||
|
||
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/lm3s,
|
||
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/lm3s/lm3s_vectors.S.
|
||
|
||
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 <some-dir>/nuttx.
|
||
|
||
cd tools
|
||
./configure.sh lm3s6965-ek/<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-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.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: This is an OABI toolchain.

|
||
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:

|
||
|
||
Virtual COM Port
|
||
|
||
The Virtual COM Port (VCP) allows Windows applications (such as HyperTerminal)
|
||
to communicate with UART0 on the LM3S6965 over USB. Once the FT2232 VCP
|
||
driver is installed, Windows assigns a COM port number to the VCP channel.

||
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_family - For use in C code:
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_ARM=y

|
||
chip:
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_LM3S6965
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
|
||
hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=lm3s6965-ek (for the Stellaris LM3S6965 Evaluation Kit)
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_LM3S6965EK
|
||
|
||
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=0x00010000 (64Kb)
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_DRAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_DRAM_START=0x20000000
|

CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO - The LM3S6918 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_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.
|
||
|
||
There are configurations for disabling support for interrupts GPIO ports.
|
||
GPIOJ must be disabled because it does not exist on the LM3S6918.

|
||
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
|

Configurations
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
Each Stellaris LM3S6965 Evaluation Kit configuration is maintained in a
|
||
sudirectory and can be selected as follow:
|
||
|
||
cd tools
|
||
./configure.sh lm3s6965-ek/<subdir>
|
||
cd -
|
||
. ./setenv.sh
|
||
|
||
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
|
||
|
||
nsh:
|
||
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh. The
|
||
Configuration enables both the serial and telnetd NSH interfaces.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: As it is configured now, you MUST have a network connected.
|
||
Otherwise, the NSH prompt will not come up because the Ethernet
|
||
driver is waiting for the network to come up. That is probably
|
||
a bug in the Ethernet driver behavior!
|
||
|
||
Network File System (NFS) support can be added by setting the
|
||
following in your configuration file:
|
||
|
||
CONFIG_NFS=y
|
||
nx:
|
||
And example using the NuttX graphics system (NX). This example
|
||
uses the P14201 OLED driver.
|
||
|
||
ostest:
|
||
This configuration directory, performs a simple OS test using
|
||
examples/ostest.
|
||
|
||
|
