README
======
This README discusses issues unique to NuttX configurations for the STMicro
STM32F100RC generic board. This "generic" configuration is not very usable
out-of-box, but can be used as a starting point to creating new configs with
similar STM32 high-density value line chips. As a bare-minimum this config only
specifies one LED (on PA0) and one button (on PA1), you should change that to
match your hardware (some details below and in source files).

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.
GNU Toolchain Options
=====================
Toolchain Configurations
------------------------
The NuttX make system has been modified to support the following different
toolchain options.
1. The CodeSourcery GNU toolchain,
2. The Atollic Toolchain,
3. The devkitARM GNU toolchain,
4. Raisonance GNU toolchain, or
5. The NuttX buildroot Toolchain (see below).
All testing has been conducted using the CodeSourcery toolchain for Windows. To use
the Atollic, 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_ATOLLIC_LITE=y : The free, "Lite" version of Atollic toolchain under Windows
CONFIG_STM32_ATOLLIC_PRO=y : The paid, "Pro" version of Atollic toolchain under Windows
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.sh file if your make cannot find the tools.
NOTE: the CodeSourcery (for Windows), Atollic, 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.
MKDEP = $(TOPDIR)/tools/mknulldeps.sh
The CodeSourcery Toolchain (2009q1)
-----------------------------------
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.
The Atollic "Pro" and "Lite" Toolchain
--------------------------------------
One problem that I had with the Atollic toolchains is that the provide a gcc.exe
and g++.exe in the same bin/ file as their ARM binaries. If the Atollic bin/ path
appears in your PATH variable before /usr/bin, then you will get the wrong gcc
when you try to build host executables. This will cause to strange, uninterpretable
errors build some host binaries in tools/ when you first make.
The Atollic "Lite" Toolchain
----------------------------
The free, "Lite" version of the Atollic toolchain does not support C++ nor
does it support ar, nm, objdump, or objdcopy. If you use the Atollic "Lite"
toolchain, you will have to set:
CONFIG_HAVE_CXX=n
In order to compile successfully. Otherwise, you will get errors like:
"C++ Compiler only available in TrueSTUDIO Professional"
The make may then fail in some of the post link processing because of some of
the other missing tools. The Make.defs file replaces the ar and nm with
the default system x86 tool versions and these seem to work okay. Disable all
of the following to avoid using objcopy:
CONFIG_RRLOAD_BINARY=n
CONFIG_INTELHEX_BINARY=n
CONFIG_MOTOROLA_SREC=n
CONFIG_RAW_BINARY=n
devkitARM
---------
The devkitARM toolchain includes a version of MSYS make. Make sure that the
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 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 stm32f100rc_generic/<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
====
It is asumed that STMicro STM32F100RC generic board board has one LED on PA0.
You should configure the port and pin number in
configs/stm32f100rc_generic/src/stm32f100rc_internal.h. This LED is 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 LED is used
to encode OS-related events as follows:
SYMBOL Meaning LED1*
green
------------------- ----------------------- -------
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started ON
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated ON
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled ON
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created ON
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt ON
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler ON
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed OFF
LED_PANIC The system has crashed OFF
So basically if the LED is off it means that there is a problem.
UART
====
Default USART/UART Configuration
--------------------------------
USART2 is enabled in all configurations (see */defconfig). RX and TX are
configured on pins PA3 and PA2, respectively.
"STMicro STM32F100RC generic" 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_CORTEXM3=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_STM32F100RC=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.
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=stm32f100rc_generic
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_STM32F100RC_GENERIC=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=24576 (24kB)
CONFIG_DRAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM
CONFIG_DRAM_START=0x20000000
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO - STM32F100RC chip supports interrupt prioritization
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO=y
CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LED to show state. Unique to boards that have LED(s)
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_CALIBRATION - when used togeter with CONFIG_DEBUG 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.

Timer devices may be used for different purposes. One special purpose is
to generate modulated outputs for such things as motor control. If CONFIG_STM32_TIMn
is defined (as above) then the following may also be defined to indicate that
the timer is intended to be used for pulsed output modulation, ADC conversion,
or DAC conversion. Note that ADC/DAC require two definition: Not only do you have
to assign the timer (n) for used by the ADC or DAC, but then you also have to
configure which ADC or DAC (m) it is assigned to.
CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_PWM Reserve timer n for use by PWM, n=1,..,17
CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_ADC Reserve timer n for use by ADC, n=1,..,17
CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_ADC1 Reserve timer n to trigger ADCm, n=1,..,17
CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_DAC Reserve timer n for use by DAC, n=1,..,17
CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_DACm Reserve timer n to trigger DACm, n=1,..,17, m=1,..,2
For each timer that is enabled for PWM usage, we need the following additional
configuration settings:
CONFIG_STM32_TIMx_CHANNEL - Specifies the timer output channel {1,..,4}
NOTE: The STM32 timers are each capable of generating different signals on
each of the four channels with different duty cycles. That capability is
not supported by this driver: Only one output channel per timer.
JTAG Enable settings (by default full SWJ is enabled):
CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_FULL_ENABLE - Enables full SWJ (JTAG-DP + SW-DP)
CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_NOJNTRST_ENABLE - Enables full SWJ (JTAG-DP + SW-DP)
but without JNTRST.
CONFIG_STM32_JTAG_SW_ENABLE - Set JTAG-DP disabled and SW-DP enabled
STMicro STM32F100RC generic specific device driver settings
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_SERIAL_CONSOLE - selects the USARTn (n=1,2,3) or UART
m (m=4,5) for the console and ttys0 (default is the USART1).
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_RXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered as received.
This specific the size of the receive buffer
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_TXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered before
being sent. This specific the size of the transmit buffer
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_BAUD - The configure BAUD of the UART. Must be
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_BITS - The number of bits. Must be either 7 or 8.
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_PARTIY - 0=no parity, 1=odd parity, 2=even parity
CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_2STOP - Two stop bits
Configurations
==============
Each STMicro STM32F100RC generic configuration is maintained in a sudirectory
and can be selected as follow:
cd tools
./configure.sh stm32f100rc_generic/<subdir>
cd -
. ./setenv.sh
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
ostest:
------
This configuration directory, performs a simple OS test using
apps/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 mconf tool. See nuttx/README.txt and
misc/tools/
b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
reconfiguration process.
2. Default toolchain:
CONFIG_STM32_CODESOURCERYL=y : CodeSourcery under Linux / Mac OS X
3. By default, this project assumes that you are *NOT* using the DFU
bootloader.
nsh:
---
Configures the NuttShell (nsh) located at apps/examples/nsh. The
Configuration enables only the serial NSH interfaces.
