OVERVIEW

This nn article to hold notes on LPCXpresso Integrated Development Environment and NXP microcontroller programming methods. Author Ted expects the IDE to include or call on tools such as gcc, g++, as, ld, objcopy and related others. Programming methods expected to include FTDI cable based programming employed with FlashMagic and lpc21isp.

As of 2018 Q2 article contributor Ted using LPCXpresso v8.2.2 [Build 650] [2016-09-09].

In addition to some initial notes on NXP parts, also this article contains some notes and references on STMicro's STM32F100 family micro-controllers. This controller is different enough that it deserves an STM32F100 article of its own . . .


^ Quick reference

lpc21isp programming utility

  $ lpc21isp -detectonly /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 12000

  $ lpc21isp -bin ./RTOSDemo.bin /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 8000000


Per following NXP forum post it looks like LPC1114 internal oscillator runs at 12MHz +/-1% . . .

^ Talking With and Programming LPC1114 Dev Board

This article section talks about two pins on the LPC1114 LPC1343 dev board which need be pulled low to put the target chip into programming mode. This article section also talks about the Unix and Linux based command line utility `lpc21isp` which can communitcate serially with the target MCU, and also has a not-very-documented terminal mode, for receiving and sending bytes over the same serial lines once firmware is running on the MCU.

To begin we power down the dev board, ground pins P0.1 and P0.3, then power up and and issue part signature read command:

^ DEMOS AND APPLICATIONS

This section of LPCExpresso wiki article dedicated to notes and references on various LPC1114 and related code topics and projects. As of 2018-11-02 Friday microcontroller and uC peripheral topics include #I2C, #PWM and #FreeRTOS. Over time more topics will be added here. The topic on #FreeRTOS includes a lot of subsections, which partially detail wiki contributor Ted's efforts to port the LPCXpresso FreeRTOS demo to the command lined based GCC toolchain as run under a cerca 2017 stable Debian release. In this effort Ted got as far as compiling the sources, but the "Xpresso to GCC port" version fails at an assembly stage, which arm-none-eabi-as complaining that it "cannot honor width suffix". This error may be misleading, as in the case where the format of assembly code may be for a different assembler from a different toolchain. Have yet to resolve this question . . . - TMH

A few places which may be good startig points, pick-up-again points include these following pages. These mention that the issue may be one of a compiler generating thumb or thumb1 type assembly code, when the assembler then expects non-thumb assembly code:

^ missing clock signal in AP I2C code output

2018-11-20 TUE - So we have an issue where, initially it looked like there was no I2C clock signal on SCL, and no data signal, just a brief blip on SCL. This was Last Friday evening, and Monday. Now Tuesday we see a normal pulse train of nine low-to-high-to-low clock transitions. These occur in just under 200 microseconds. Prior to this there is an I2C start condition, where SDA goes high to low followed by SCL going high to low. Then both SCL and SDA are low for about 13 milliseconds, a very long time! After 13 milliseconds SCL begins its train pulse. After the second high to low SCL, the data line SDA goes high four the next four clock pulses, then low for a pulse then high.

QUESTION 3: why takes SCL so long to start its pulse train after the I2C start condition appears?

2018-11-21 WED

Hi,

Regarding my I2C trouble-shooting, I observed a normal clock signal on SCL starting yesterday, but there are some unexpected delays on the order of 12 or 13 milliseconds. There is also almost no data. Only one byte of data observed as a train of nine clock pulses at about 25 microseconds per pulse occur. Specifically what appears to be happening is a valid I2C start condition, where SDA goes low and SCL follows likewise going low within a few microseconds. Then both SCL and SDA are low for about 13 milliseconds, then a single byte worth of clocking and data. SDA then returns to high. SCL stays low for about 37 milliseconds longer. Except for nine clock pulses on SCL that clock line is low for about 52 milliseconds in total after each call to IO_I2C_SendCommand(). Nothing else happening on the I2C lines.

Prior to sending any commands my code calls IO_I2C_Reset(). Any ideas what would cause this initial delay before SCL clock pulses, and the longer "SCL low" time afterward?

Your code project uses the I2C hardware module in the LPC1114, so that you need not bit bang things like the shifting of bytes into bits, and the toggling of SCL to create needed clock signals on the I2C bus. To the I2C part of your project I am able to make a comparison with a demo program I adapted a few months back, a demo in which there is a bit-banged single master implemented I2C driver. In that driver I see that in order for the demo to read back a string of bytes from a sensor, it calls the following routines by their names in the demo:

  error = SCD30_StartWriteAccess();
  error = SCD30_WriteCommand(CMD_READ_SERIALNBR);
  SCD30_StopAccess();
  error = SCD30_StartReadAccess();
  SCD30_StopAccess();

I notice that your project's ISR_State_SendCommand() routine supports I2C write, read and ping type commands. So is my understanding and code use correct, that my client code may call IO_I2C_SendCommand() with a buffer containing the command for the slave device? Ahh but wait, I only get one pointer to character (or uint8_t) buffer in this routine's parameter list. So in calling IO_I2C_SendCommand() how can I read back data from an I2C slave device? I think I'm missing a basic understanding of how to use your I2C driver . . .

^ SCD30 data and CRC bytes three at a time

Bit-banged routine from Sensirion to read n bytes from sensor, reads them three at a time:

etError SCD30_ReadAndRemoveCrc(u8t data[], u32t noOfBytesToRead)^M
{^M
  etError error = NO_ERROR; // error code^M
  u16t word;^M 
  u32t byteCounter = 0;^M
  u32t writeIndex = 0;^M
  noOfBytesToRead = (noOfBytesToRead+1)/2*3; // must be multiple of two plus one byte crc per word^M
  ^M
  ^M
  while(byteCounter<noOfBytesToRead)^M
  {^M
    if (byteCounter <noOfBytesToRead-3) ^M
      error = SCD30_Read2BytesAndCrc(&word, ACK, _timeoutI2c);^M
    else^M  
      error = SCD30_Read2BytesAndCrc(&word,NACK, _timeoutI2c); // send nack for last byte^M
    ^M
    data[writeIndex++] = (u8t)((word >> 8) & 0x00FF);^M
    data[writeIndex++] = (u8t)(word & 0x00FF);^M
   ^M
    byteCounter += 3;^M 
  }^M
   ^M
  return error;^M
}

The routine to read two bytes and a single byte CRC is implemented this way:

static etError SCD30_Read2BytesAndCrc(u16t* data, etI2cAck finaleAckNack,^M
                                      u8t timeout)^M
{^M
  etError error;    // error code^M
  u8t     bytes[2]; // read data array^M 
  u8t     checksum; // checksum byte^M
 ^M
  // read two data bytes and one checksum byte^M
                        error = I2c_ReadByte(&bytes[0], ACK, timeout);^M
  if(error == NO_ERROR) error = I2c_ReadByte(&bytes[1], ACK, timeout);^M
  if(error == NO_ERROR) error = I2c_ReadByte(&checksum, finaleAckNack, timeout);^M
  ^M
  // verify checksum^M
  if(error == NO_ERROR) error = SCD30_CheckCrc(bytes, 2, checksum);^M
  ^M
  // combine the two bytes to a 16-bit value^M 
  *data = (bytes[0] << 8) | bytes[1];^M
  ^M
  return error;^M
}

The routine SCD30_Read2BytesAndCrc() in turn reads one byte at a time by calling the following routine:

etError I2c_ReadByte(u8t* byte, etI2cAck ack, u32t timeout)^M
{^M
  etError error = NO_ERROR;^M
  u8t mask;^M 
  u8t bit;^M
  *byte = 0;^M
  ^M
  for (mask = 0; mask < 8; mask++) ^M
  {^M
    error = I2c_ReadBit(&bit, timeout);^M
    if (error != NO_ERROR)^M
      break;^M
    ^M
    *byte =  *byte | (bit << (7-mask));^M
  }^M
  error = I2c_WriteBit(ack == NACK, timeout);^M
^M
  return error;^M
}

^ LPCXpresso 1114 board and FreeRTOS

In order to get started with the FreeRTOS port demo project to the LPC1114 board, a batch file (or shell script) need be run to create a particular directory structure and copy files into some project-expected places. There is mention on the ported NXP project page on FreeRTOS site that LPCXpresso IDE can provide makefile based projects, and "managed make" projects. The managed make projects require all sources on which a given project depends to be located within given project's top level directory.

There is mention of a batch file which on our Linux box appears to be ~/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/RTOSDemo/CreateProjectDirectoryStructure.bat.


Getting close but having trouble setting up and fully compiling LPC1114 FreeRTOS demo . . . build fails for not finding header file IntQueue.h, as included by file IntQueue.c in the same directory:

^ Copying FreeRTOS Demo Project To Begin New Project

- 2018-06-13 TUE -
Today's goal is to copy the FreeRTOS demo which runs on an LPCXpresso development board, and to bring this copy of the project up as a second or additional project in LPC IDE's workspace. From here then next step is to add one-way then bidirectional UART communications to the project.

A separate second goal is to craft a GNU makefile to build this same demo project.

Looking at project properties by means of right clicking the top level folder in LPCXpresso's project navigation pane, the project's location on the file system is:


 localhost:/home/${USER}/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/RTOSDemo


This path also matches the result we get when searching for a unique-to-project port header file named IntQueue.h, invoking `locate IntQueue.h | grep 1114`. The path is a directory longer due to the location of this header file in the port's dir structure, but the narrowed search result path agrees with the path shown in LPC's project location.

The readily visible, top level contents of this directory are:

 ~/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/RTOSDemo$ ls
 CreateProjectDirectoryStructure.bat  Source
 Debug                                create-project-directory-structure.sh

There are a couple of hidden project files here, created and or used by LPCXpresso:

 $ ls -a
 .   .cproject  .settings                            Debug   create-project-directory-structure.sh
 ..  .project   CreateProjectDirectoryStructure.bat  Source

Note:  in the LPCXpresso managed product directory there are hidden files named .cproject and .project . . .

Both files .cproject and .project are XML files. The file .cproject is longer among these two files and includes details of the compiler used in a given project, plus options passed to this compiler, plus at least one project include path. The file named .project contains in the first few lines a line expressing the project name as LPCXpresso IDE knows it. This project name must be unique among projects imported to a given LPCXpresso workspace. This workspace on Unix and Linux-like systems defaults to the directory ${HOME}/LPCXpresso.

The make dir and copying commands which can be invoked after creating project directory structure is:

  $ mkdir -pv ~/projects/nxp/rtos-demo-4
  $ cp -prv ./* ./.[cp]* ~/projects/nxp/rtos-demo-4



The name of the project we're attempting to copy and start as a new and editable project is 'RTOSDemo', a patterm which appears several times in file .cproject:

Figure x -

$ grep -n RTOSDemo ../.cproject 
 
23:							<builder arguments="-r" buildPath="${workspace_loc:/RTOSDemo/Debug}" command="make" id="com.crt.advproject.builder.exe.debug.1260101970" keepEnvironmentInBuildfile="true" managedBuildOn="true" name="Gnu Make Builder" superClass="com.crt.advproject.builder.exe.debug"/>

182:		<project id="RTOSDemo.com.crt.advproject.projecttype.exe.777175218" name="Executable" projectType="com.crt.advproject.projecttype.exe"/>
343:			<resource resourceType="PROJECT" workspacePath="/RTOSDemo"/>
346:			<resource resourceType="PROJECT" workspacePath="/RTOSDemo"/>
 
$

Unfortunately the LPC1114 FreeRTOS demo project name is used in two or three different ways in the file named .cproject. Most of the time it is used as the project's name, but a couple of times this text pattern appears in the filenames of linker scripts. In another instance it's part of a host system directory path to the project. The places where pattern 'RTOSDemo' most closely relates to LPCXpresso project are where it appears on lines which refer to ${workspace_loc}. Given this it looks like we want to change the project name RTOSDemo to a new project name on lines 23, 118, 343 and 346, where this name stands for a project name, rather than part of a path or part of a linker script filename.



QUESTION: to what does the pattern RTOSDemo.com.crt.advproject.projecttype.exe.777175218 refer? Is this a reference to or name of an executable file? Or exe file plus project configuration? - TMH


LPCXpresso file .project contains two references to the pattern RTOSDemo:

$ grep -n RTOSDemo ../.project 
3:	<name>RTOSDemo</name>
35:					<value>${workspace_loc:/RTOSDemo/Debug}</value>


^ edit point - create directory structure script

A file worth noting here is a shell script which Ted adapted from a DOS batch file which ships with the RTOS demo. The original batch file and the adapted shell script create a directory structure and copy FreeRTOS header and source files to these directories, placing all sources in the local copy of the project. While the following script does the copying job for a project in one particular path relative to the FreeRTOS download path, Ted amended this script further to put relative source path elements into variables. This makes the script more adjustable to be executed in different locations. As of 2018-07-09 Monday that improved script not posted here on this wiki article yet . . .

2018-07-13 NOTE: with one or both versions of this script there may be an error where IntQueue.h and three other FreeRTOS header files do not get copied to the new local project instance. It may be necessary until a fix found to manually copy these files as follows:

    $ cp -p blocktim.h recmutex.h countsem.h IntQueue.h /home/user/projects/nxp/rtos-demo-4/Source/Common_Demo_Tasks/Include


Before and after running `make clean` from the IDE:

Figure x - FreeRTOS demo directories and size of build time files:

The above figure is a verbose way of showing approximate size of combined build time files such as object files. But this snippet also shows project directories and directory structure. This structure is largely created by the DOS batch file on Windows hosts, and in this case created by the shell script which mimics those same steps. Manually copying this project with these directories then, there should be no need to run the batch file . . .


^ Makefile Clues - Deriving A Working Makefile From LPCXpresso Projects

NOTE: This section on makefile derivation / porting not yet well organized. Work here underway - TMH

It's really frustrating to understand how LPCXpresso builds software projects. LPCXpresso automatically generates a makefile, and child makefiles in additional subdirectories of its imported and created projects. For example, LPCXpresso creates child makefiles in each directory which contains project sources. These child makefiles are read by the `make` utility recursively, as LPCXpresso calls its choice of `make` with the -r option.

Some options which would normally be encapsulated in the makefile are held in some other settings space or stored files of LPCXpresso and passed to the call to make at build time. This makes it harder to see all the details of the project build recipe, because they're spread out over multiple files, and some options do not even appear to be stored in files.

According to an NXP Community thread, LPCXpresso supports command line based project builds . . .


Despite possible command line based builds we have not yet learned how to set this up, and are presently stuck with LPCXpresso's default build process. This build process includes a utility or option called CDT builder, which appears next to a checkbox in one of the dialog boxes under a given project's properties:

  Properties --> Builders

image 800x600 px

A couple of supporting lpcxpresso project makefiles include makefile.init and subdir.mk. These files contain respectively:

Figure x - example makefile.init file:

      1 PROJECT_NAME=rtos-demo-with-mods
      2 
      3 LIBRARY_PATHS=\

^ What we know about LPCXpresso project makefiles

What we know so far about LPCXpresso project makefiles: LPCXPresso projects typically use multiple makefiles, including a "top level" makefile which includes several other makefiles. The called makefiles include:

 *  makefile.init
 *  makefile.deps
 *  sources.mk
 *  objects.mk

and one of the following subdir makefiles for each project directory which holds sources:

 *  subdir.mk

It looks also as though these files come pre-built and bundled with the FreeRTOS demo, which includes a port to LPC1114 family microcontrollers. Since they're already present in the downloadable project / port from FreeRTOS dot org, we can't as easily know or find out how these files are or were originally created. All of the makefiles begin with a comment block which warns "DO NOT EDIT":

      1 ################################################################################
      2 # Automatically-generated file. Do not edit!
      3 ################################################################################


Here are the instances of subdir makefiles:

$ locate subdir.mk | grep Downloads | grep subdir.mk /home/${USER}/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/CMSISv2p00_LPC11xx/Debug/src/subdir.mk /home/${USER}/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/RTOSDemo/Debug/Source/subdir.mk /home/${USER}/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/RTOSDemo/Debug/Source/Common_Demo_Tasks/subdir.mk /home/${USER}/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/RTOSDemo/Debug/Source/FreeRTOS_Source/subdir.mk /home/${USER}/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/RTOSDemo/Debug/Source/FreeRTOS_Source/portable/GCC/ARM_CM0/subdir.mk /home/${USER}/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/RTOSDemo/Debug/Source/FreeRTOS_Source/portable/MemMang/subdir.mk



^ LPC build messages

Build messages from LPCXpresso 8p2p2 CDT builder here on wiki page 'rtos-demo-3 build messages'. Next figure or excerpt ahead shows a complete capture of a FreeRTOS demo firmware build as built by LPCXpresso's calls to make.

Article contributor Ted noting here that these build messages tell a lot about the build process but also leave a lot of the recipe's details out. For example, it's not obvious from these compiler messages that the build process is described by multiple makefiles. It's also not always obvious what environment variable settings the 'make' utility -- in this case LPCXpresso -- and its called commands enjoy as they run. One clue to this effect is how LPC's build messages show a specifications file option -specs=redlib.specs which names an extent file but not its full path. How does the compiler know where to look for this file? There must be a search path variable somewhere. Unfortunately GNU GCC's web documentation doesn't go into any detail about the way in which gcc searched for specs files.

2018-07-16 NOTE: lines of the build messages excerpted below contain -MT and -MF compiler options. In the excerpts these are followed by specific source files, but in the subdir.mk makefiles these are followed by pattern substitution rules.

2018-07-26 NOTE: following line from .cproject file hints at variable which holds path to the Redlib specs files:

   315         <runAction arguments="-c 'gcc -E -P -v -dD "${plugin_state_location}/${specs_file}"'" command="sh" useDefault="true"/>

All the same here is the LPCXpresso output of a successful build of FreeRTOS demo program targeted for the LPC1114 Cortex-M0 processor:

^ start of LPC's build output

So days further down the road we find that LPC'x build output references source file RegTest.c, but this file is not explicitly copied by the original DOS "set up project dirs" batch file, and so also not copied by the bash script version to set up project dirs, headers and source files. Yet this C file is getting pulled into the project at build time. Strange, what's the intent here? Or

QUESTION:  is this common to have one or more source files pulled in at build time, while they're not mentioned in any makefile?


^ Build Issues While Developing Makefile

2018-06-15 - One of the first issues we encounter while creating a makefile for the FreeRTOS demo targeting LPC1114 processor is gcc's complaint of not finding the specifications file named redlib.specs. Gcc.gnu.org talks about specs files at this page:

Here is our error message:

$ make

We've solved a couple of simple vpath and -I include path problems, but are running into something maybe more subtle or obscure. Gcc is getting an assembly file and does not know how to compile this assembly:

^ edit point - LPCXpresso make output compare GNU make output

Comparing LPCXpresso build console output with GNU make output at command line, the "hand rolled" makefile way, see build output messages captured in figure after this paragraph. Ted noting also that we now have a better idea why the hand-crafted GNU makefile isn't fully building the project. This capture doesn't reflect some of the issues we've -- since its taking -- discovered how the subdir.mk files add to the LPC project make rules list, as well as adding tokens to vars C_DEPS, OBJS and C_SRCS. Here is the comparative build process output:

Ok a lot going on here. Also noting that when gcc given -v option for more verbose output, there are some non-existent paths which gcc mentions, which are expressed in the redlib.specs file. These don't look like a source of problems. Also notice there are two identical but differently named instances of the cross-assembler gnu-none-eabi-as:

^ edit point - gcc 6.3 or newer may be needed

An obscure error appears now with our call to the GNU assembler, which gives a complaint about width suffixes in one of FreeRTOS demo assembly files. Per https://sourceforge.net/p/freertos/discussion/382005/thread/8041642a/ we may need a newer version of gcc, e.g. 6.3 over 4.x in order to get past the error:

-include ../makefile.targets

This makefile alone does not tell us a lot about how LPCXpresso is constructing and using makefiles for project builds. However, the -include stanzas lead us to some clues. Specifically many of the -includes reference "child" makefiles in various project sources directories. These makefiles are all like named 'subdir.mk'.

Each subdir.mk file amends three make variables: C_SRCS, OBJS and C_DEPS. This variable amending itself is useful in the primary makefile, when by the time all subdir.mk files have been included the primary makefile now has a list of all project sources. The problem however is that each subdir.mk file also defines a target and build recipe for a subset of project sources. These targets are added to the dependency graph built by `make`, and it seems kludgey at best to -- if possible within a GNU makefile -- select and delete certain rules from the dependency graph mid-way through processing a makefile. By mid-way we're thinking after all -include directive processing and before named rule processing.

Regarding `make` targets or rules see:

Checking to see whether and how the rules differ among FreeRTOS demo subdir.mk files:

^ edit point - finding and pointing make to .a library files

On Thursday, yesterday, we found a makefile created by LPCXpresso or one of its called tools, in the Debug directory of our RTOSDemo project instance. Working now with a copy of that makefile in a project we did not import, nor unzip from a zip archive, but started out as a general C/C++ project. TO DO: Contributor Ted notes here that we must retrace those project creation steps so we know thoroughly how to get a project off the ground in the LPCXpresso IDE.

There are different types of library files in C and C++ projects, library files which can be linked in to a binary at compile time or loaded at run time. On the Linux and GCC side it may be necessary to point `make` to dot a archive type library files, by using the -L option . . .

- STEP - amending include paths with -I . . .

Adding needed paths to CFLAGS fails to solve our present modified top-project-level makefile named 'Makefile', which in turn calls LPC-generated sub-makefiles per project source directory. The cause we think is that those subdir.mk files each express targets whose options to gcc are already expanded and thus fixed. There is no appearance of $CFLAGS in those target recipes.


^ Suspicion subdir.mk target recipes lack variables

- 2018-07-11 - Tuesday -

Suspicion:  subdir.mk target recipes contain no variables to expand, so that amendments to typical makefile variables such as CFLAGS are not applied when make calls programs to execute these targets.

There are a couple of things going on here as we search for an automatable way to convert LPCXpresso firmware projects into GNU gcc toolchain projects. Have 'make' or a shell script read sub-make files can be helpful in automatically gathering for example all the sources which are part of a project. Parsing "hard coded" build recipes can allow us to assign pre-processor, compiler, assembler and linker options to conventional GNU `make` variables. Achieving these parsings and effectively porting projects from LPCXpresso's makefile way to a GNU type toolchain would give us a lot of insight into the details of project dependencies, and the specific tasks we need `make` to invoke in order to build -- to cross-compile -- a software project for a given target processor.

Proposed Steps:

- Step 1 -

    A first good step to take is to create a recipe which builds a list of all project sources.

- Step 2 -

    A second step to attempt authoring is that of a recipe which builds all sources, whose passed options to gcc are in variable which we assign values manually at first. If all sources take the same arguments, this will function as desired. Otherwise if recipies differ for one or some sources we can create targets for each set of sources which build in distinct ways.

- Step 3 -

    A third step then when we see the project build via our target described in step 2, is to automate that parsing and assigning-to-make-variables the options required to build all project sources.


^ edit point - checking dependencies are correct

We must check that our dependencies are getting figured correctly. A manual call to `make` on a single source file shows host system library headers getting included, not the ones we need. Though this is likely for a lack of missing -I{path} options given to gcc:

^ Second Approach - Single Makefile

Understanding better how LPC's build process calls "children" makefiles, plus thinking about how to parse LPC's makefiles, its build output, and or its .cproject and .project files we're trying a more ground up approach by crafting a single makefile. This makefile's output is nearly identical to LPC's build output but ours does not find the needed project header file named stdlib.h. This header file isn't particular to the FreeRTOS demo project. It is most likely part of LPC / NXP's C library ports to their microcontroller families. Looking in our local installation of lpcxpresso we find four instances of this header file:

Figure x - stdlib.h from NXP

/opt/nxp/lpcxpresso-8p2p2$ ls -l `find . -name stdlib.h`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  1480 Jul 21  2016 ./lpcxpresso/tools/arm-none-eabi/include/c++/5.4.1/tr1/stdlib.h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   138 Jul 21  2016 ./lpcxpresso/tools/arm-none-eabi/include/machine/stdlib.h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11607 Jul 21  2016 ./lpcxpresso/tools/arm-none-eabi/include/stdlib.h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  3699 Jul 21  2016 ./lpcxpresso/tools/redlib/include/stdlib.h

QUESTION: which of these is the file we need to include? They all differ from one another, and it's likely only one is correct . . . - TMH


CHECK OUT / REVISIT: in LPCXpresso IDE: Project Properties --> C/C++ Build --> Settings --> MCU Assembler. There is a string of options shown here which reads "-c -x assembler-with-cpp -D__REDLIB__ -DDEBUG -D__CODE_RED -g3 -mcpu=cortex-m0 -mthumb -D__REDLIB__ -specs=redlib.specs". QUESTION: Is our single makefile sending these options at the point of assembly?


2018-07-18 WED - LPC project properties

Noticing that under LPCXpresso project properties, there are most and perhaps all compiler flags and options available to view here. In the path Project Properties --> C/C++ Build --> Settings --> MCU Compiler we find expanded options to the compiler arm-none-eabi-gcc as follows:

-D__REDLIB__ -DDEBUG -D__CODE_RED -D__USE_CMSIS=CMSISv2p00_LPC11xx -I"/home/${USER}/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/CMSISv2p00_LPC11xx/inc" -I"/home/${USER}/Downloads/freertos/FreeRTOSv10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_M0_LPC1114_LPCXpresso/CMSISv2p00_LPC11xx/inc" -I"../../../Common/include" -I"/home/${USER}/projects/nxp/rtos-demo-4/Source/Common_Demo_Tasks/include" -I"/home/${USER}/projects/nxp/rtos-demo-4/Source" -I"/home/${USER}/projects/nxp/rtos-demo-4/Source/FreeRTOS_Source/include" -I"/home/${USER}/projects/nxp/rtos-demo-4/Source/FreeRTOS_Source/portable/GCC/ARM_CM0" -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -fno-builtin -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wextra -mcpu=cortex-m0 -mthumb -D__REDLIB__ -specs=redlib.specs

There is also a list of variables which looks like it could expand to these options. The variables are in a smaller text box titled "Expert Settings":

${COMMAND} ${FLAGS} ${OUTPUT_FLAG} ${OUTPUT_PREFIX}${OUTPUT} ${INPUTS}


^ LPC compiler, assember, linker options

We're close but not quite to the goal of expressing all needed options in our GNU makefile, those options which are present but not obvious in the LPCXpresso FreeRTOS demo project. As mentioned just above and discovered by Ted yesterday, an LPC project's properties offers among many things settings which include flags and options to compiler, assembler and linker. To better understand how LPCXPresso manages all this, the following table contains the triplet data sets for each tool / each stage in the build process, minus preprocessing. Preprocessing is absent from LPC's Project Properties --> C/C++ Build --> Settings dialog box.

Analysis: we see MCU compiler options in each of LPC's subdir.mk files, in the targets / recipes which build .o files from .c files. There is in this process the step of converting from C source to ARM assembly, that is .c to .s. But we don't see in any of LPC project makefiles some of the options passed to the MCU assember, e.r. "-x assembler-with-cpp". We dont' have this optoin in our GNU version makefile at all, so could this be why we're running into assebler errors of the forms "/tmp/ccYl1ldJ.s:232: Error: cannot honor width suffix -- `mov r1,#255'" and "/tmp/ccYl1ldJ.s:378: Error: lo register required -- `add r2,r3,#1'"? - TMH

In the LPC project here is what a text pattern search shows regarding patterns "x assembler-with-cpp" and "Map=rtos-demo-4.map", which are options passed respectively to the assembler and linker:

~/projects/nxp/rtos-demo-4$ grep -nr 'x assembler-with-cpp' ./*

./Debug/Makefile:241:	arm-none-eabi-gcc -c -x assembler-with-cpp -D__REDLIB__ -DDEBUG -D__CODE_RED -g3 -mcpu=cortex-m0 -mthumb -D__REDLIB__ -specs=redlib.specs $< -o $@

The MCU assembler options don't seem to appear in any file of the LPC project. . . .


^ Single makefile first attempt end point

Much work with single makefile got us compiling all FreeRTOS demo sources except the file cr_startup_lpc11.c, which contains assembly code. Here at this point we reached an error reported by the GCC ARM assembler, regarding non-aligned data or variables. An example message reads as follows:

/tmp/ccnCOBAj.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccnCOBAj.s:421: Error: invalid offset, target not word aligned (0x00000116)
/tmp/ccnCOBAj.s:421: Error: invalid offset, value too big (0x00000002)
Makefile:344: recipe for target 'Source/lpc-startup-code/cr_startup_lpc11.o' failed
make: *** [Source/lpc-startup-code/cr_startup_lpc11.o] Error 1

In these builds we began using the compiler and toolchain provided by Debian package binutils-arm-none-eabi. Eventually forum posts on this error led us to try switching to the toolchain which installed as part of LPCXpresso 8p2p2 which are located in /opt/nxp/lpcxpresso-8p2p2/lpcxpresso/tools/bin. These also failed to assemble a small amount of assembly code in the file cr_startup_lpc11.c. We next tried downloading and building GNU GCC 8.1.0, but turns out this is a compiler for desktop and server class processors, and not the wide range of embedded focused processor families.

LPC compiler toolchain is installed on the localhost at /opt/nxp/lpcxpresso-8p2p2/lpcxpresso/tools/bin.


^ rtos demo 5 - Attempting project build without LPC 8p2p2

LPCXpresso FreeRTOS demo project copies have worked twice to product projects which import into LPC 8p2p2 as existing projects, and build there to a compilable, editable and executable form which runs on an LPC1114 dev board. Each project copying effort involved running the shell'ized version of the FreeRTOS demo port's "copy dirs and files" DOS batch file. There were a few amendments to make to that batch file's commands, to account for DOS' case insentive behavior where Unix/Linux command line environments care about case. There also appeared to be some missed project header files, such as IntQueue.h and FreeRTOSConfig.h. These were hand-added to the create-project-directory-structure.sh scripts, of which there are three versions. Version here are very similar.

At this point as of 2017-07-26 Thursday we observe that there's a change in the project .map file generated by the toolchain. Our history of FreeRTOS demo project experiments to port project to GCC toolchain runs rtos-demo-3, rtos-demo-4, rtos-demo-5. In experiments 3 and 4 their .map files define the assembly-wise label 'ResetISR'. In rtos-demo-5 this label is missing from a section of the .map file around line range 940..964. Ted suspects errors in the .cproject and possibly .project files, which are not yet fully understood . . .

^ FreeRTOS Demonstration Project For LPC1114

Key points in FreeRTOS demonstration project for LPC1114:

  • choose between blink demo and full in main.c, by defining mainCREATE_SIMPLE_BLINKY_DEMO_ONLY to be (1),

Simpler LED blink demo has its period of blinking set by delay in prvQueueSendTask() function, as explained in excerpt from file main-blinky.c:

    43  * The Queue Send Task:
    44  * The queue send task is implemented by the prvQueueSendTask() function in
    45  * this file.  prvQueueSendTask() sits in a loop that causes it to repeatedly
    46  * block for 200 milliseconds, before sending the value 100 to the queue that
    47  * was created within main_blinky().  Once the value is sent, the task loops
    48  * back around to block for another 200 milliseconds.

This time period is puond defined on about line 79 in main-blinky.c:

 #define mainQUEUE_SEND_FREQUENCY_MS            ( 200 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS )

^ LPC1114 Serial Port Configuration

Initial search and exercises of LPC1114 serial port . . .

In this PDF file named AN10955.pdf there's mention of a more primary starting point for UART software implementations in LPC11xx and LPC13xx parts,

    "For the principle of software UART implementation, please refer to AN10689 . . ."


2018-10-29 MON


- STEP 1 -

In an IAR project context in which a given LPC1114 firmware project seems to rely less on the CMSIS libraries, a first or early reference to setting up the 1114 UART has to do with dividing the system clock. Find following lines in routine SystemInit() which runs:

#if ENA_UART != 0^M
  LPC_SYSCON->UARTCLKDIV    = UART_CLK_DIV;         // Set the UART clock^M 
#endif^M

- STEP 2 -

References to UART in routine IO_Configure() which does not presently run relate only to PIO1_6 Rx and PIO1_7 Tx:

$ grep -n 1_6 ./*.c
./io_conf_lqfp48.c:79:    LPC_IOCON->PIO1_6 = P1_6_CONFIG | GPIO_RESERVED;
./io_conf_lqfp48.c:165:            (P1_6_DIR << 6) | (P1_7_DIR << 7) |
./io_conf_lqfp48.c:198:            (P1_6_DEFAULT << 6) | (P1_7_DEFAULT << 7) |
./io_conf_lqfp48.c:250:            (GPIO_IS(P1_6_INT) << 6) | (GPIO_IS(P1_7_INT) << 7) |
./io_conf_lqfp48.c:258:            (GPIO_IBE(P1_6_INT) << 6) | (GPIO_IBE(P1_7_INT) << 7) |
./io_conf_lqfp48.c:266:            (GPIO_IEV(P1_6_INT) << 6) | (GPIO_IEV(P1_7_INT) << 7) |

Configuration details of each pin are important, e.g. function, direction, interrupt settings. Here are the further pound defined labels:

#define P1_6_CONFIG     IO_CONFIG(P1_6, FUNC_RXD, MODE_PU, HYST_DIS) 

#define P1_6_DIR        DIR_OUTPUT

#define P1_6_DEFAULT    0

#define P1_6_INT        SENSE_HIGH

- STEP 3 -

In routine main which we'll rewrite, we'll initially copy the existing way and initialize the UART per AP reference notes, calling a routine which also seems to serve as UART reset routine:

   IO_UART_Reset();    // Init UART I/O driver
