Buttons and LEDs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Buttons
-------
The SAM4S Xplained has two mechanical buttons. One button is the RESET button
connected to the SAM4S reset line and the other is a generic user configurable
button labeled BP2 and connected to GPIO PA5. When a button is pressed it
will drive the I/O line to GND.
LEDs
----
There are four LEDs on board the SAM4X Xplained board, two of these can be
controlled by software in the SAM4S:
LED GPIO
---------------- -----
D9 Yellow LED PC10
D10 Yellow LED PC17
Both can be illuminated by driving the GPIO output to ground (low).
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/sam_leds.c. The LEDs are used to encode OS-related
events as follows:
SYMBOL Meaning LED state
D9 D10
------------------- ----------------------- -------- --------
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started OFF OFF
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF OFF
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled OFF OFF
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created ON OFF
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt No change
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler No change
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed No change
LED_PANIC The system has crashed OFF Blinking
LED_IDLE MCU is is sleep mode Not used
Thus if D9 is statically on, NuttX has successfully booted and is,
apparently, running normmally. If D10 is flashing at approximately
2Hz, then a fatal error has been detected and the system has halted.
Serial Consoles
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UART1
-----
If you have a TTL to RS-232 converter then this is the most convenient
serial console to use. UART1 is the default in all of these
configurations.
UART1 RXD PB2 J1 pin 3 J4 pin 3
UART1 TXD PB3 J1 pin 4 J4 pin 4
GND J1 pin 9 J4 pin 9
Vdd J1 pin 10 J4 pin 10
USART1
------
USART1 is another option:
USART1 RXD PA21 J2 pin 6
USART1 TXD PA22 J2 pin 1
GND J2 pin 9
Vdd J2 pin 10
Virtual COM Port
----------------
Yet another option is to use UART0 and the virtual COM port. This
option may be more convenient for long term development, but was
painful to use during board bring-up.
The SAM4S Xplained contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG) that can be
used to program and debug the ATSAM4S16C using Serial Wire Debug (SWD).
The Embedded debugger also include a Virtual Com port interface over
USART1. Virtual COM port connections:

Configurations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Each SAM4S Xplained configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
can be selected as follow:
tools/configure.shsam4s-xplained:<subdir>
Before building, make sure the PATH environment variable includes the
correct path to the directory than holds your toolchain binaries.
And then build NuttX by simply typing the following. At the conclusion of
the make, the nuttx binary will reside in an ELF file called, simply, nuttx.
make
The <subdir> that is provided above as an argument to the tools/configure.sh
must be is one of the following.
NOTES:
1. These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool. To
change any of these configurations using that tool, you should:
a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool. See nuttx/README.txt
see additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.
b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
reconfiguration process.
2. Unless stated otherwise, all configurations generate console
output on UART1 which is available on J1 or J4 (see the
section "Serial Consoles" above). USART1 or the virtual COM
port on UART0 are options. The virtual COM port could
be used, for example, by reconfiguring to use UART0 like:
System Type -> AT91SAM3/4 Peripheral Support
CONFIG_SAM_UART0=y
CONFIG_SAM_UART1=n
Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> Serial Console
CONFIG_UART0_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> UART0 Configuration
CONFIG_UART0_2STOP=0
CONFIG_UART0_BAUD=115200
CONFIG_UART0_BITS=8
CONFIG_UART0_PARITY=0
CONFIG_UART0_RXBUFSIZE=256
CONFIG_UART0_TXBUFSIZE=256
3. Unless otherwise stated, the configurations are setup for
Linux (or any other POSIX environment like Cygwin under Windows):
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y : Linux or other POSIX environment
4. These configurations use the older, OABI, buildroot toolchain. But
that is easily reconfigured:
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y : Buildroot toolchain
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_OABI=y : Older, OABI toolchain
If you want to use the Atmel GCC toolchain, here are the steps to
do so:
Build Setup:
CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y : Windows
CONFIG_HOST_CYGWIN=y : Using Cygwin or other POSIX environment
System Type -> Toolchain:
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABI=y : General GCC EABI toolchain under windows
This re-configuration should be done before making NuttX or else the
subsequent 'make' will fail. If you have already attempted building
NuttX then you will have to 1) 'make distclean' to remove the old
configuration, 2) 'tools/configure.sh sam3u-ek/ksnh' to start
with a fresh configuration, and 3) perform the configuration changes
above.
Also, make sure that your PATH variable has the new path to your
Atmel tools. Try 'which arm-none-eabi-gcc' to make sure that you
are selecting the right tool.
See also the "NOTE about Windows native toolchains" in the section call
"GNU Toolchain Options" above.
Configuration sub-directories
-----------------------------
nsh:
This configuration directory will built the NuttShell. See NOTES above.
NOTES:
1. The configuration configuration can be modified to include support
for the on-board SRAM (1MB).
System Type -> External Memory Configuration
CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0=y : Select SRAM on CS0
CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0SIZE=1048576 : Size=1MB
Now what are you going to do with the SRAM. There are two choices:
a) To enable the NuttX RAM test that may be used to verify the
external SRAM:
System Type -> External Memory Configuration
CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0HEAP=n : Don't add to heap
Application Configuration -> System NSH Add-Ons
CONFIG_TESTING_RAMTEST=y : Enable the RAM test built-in
In this configuration, the SDRAM is not added to heap and so is
not excessible to the applications. So the RAM test can be
freely executed against the SRAM memory beginning at address
0x6000:0000 (CS0).
nsh> ramtest -h
Usage: <noname> [-w|h|b] <hex-address> <decimal-size>
Where:
<hex-address> starting address of the test.
<decimal-size> number of memory locations (in bytes).
-w Sets the width of a memory location to 32-bits.
-h Sets the width of a memory location to 16-bits (default).
-b Sets the width of a memory location to 8-bits.
To test the entire external SRAM:
nsh> ramtest 60000000 1048576
RAMTest: Marching ones: 60000000 1048576
RAMTest: Marching zeroes: 60000000 1048576
RAMTest: Pattern test: 60000000 1048576 55555555 aaaaaaaa
RAMTest: Pattern test: 60000000 1048576 66666666 99999999
RAMTest: Pattern test: 60000000 1048576 33333333 cccccccc
RAMTest: Address-in-address test: 60000000 1048576
b) To add this RAM to the NuttX heap, you would need to change the
configuration as follows:
System Type -> External Memory Configuration
CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0HEAP=y : Add external RAM to heap
Memory Management
-CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=1 : Only the internal SRAM
+CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=2 : Also include external SRAM

Buttons and LEDs
================
Buttons
-------
The SAM4S Xplained has two mechanical buttons. One button is the RESET button
connected to the SAM4S reset line and the other is a generic user configurable
button labeled BP2 and connected to GPIO PA5. When a button is pressed it will
drive the I/O line to GND.
LEDs
----
There are four LEDs on board the SAM4X Xplained board, two of these can be
controlled by software in the SAM4S:
================ =====
LED GPIO
================ =====
D9 Yellow LED PC10
D10 Yellow LED PC17
================ =====
Both can be illuminated by driving the GPIO output to ground (low).
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/sam_leds.c``. The LEDs are used to encode
OS-related events as follows:
=================== ======================= ======== ========
SYMBOL Meaning D9 D10
=================== ======================= ======== ========
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started OFF OFF
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated OFF OFF
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled OFF OFF
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created ON OFF
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt N/C N/C
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler N/C N/C
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed N/C N/C
LED_PANIC The system has crashed OFF Blinking
LED_IDLE MCU is is sleep mode N/A N/A

Thus if D9 is statically on, NuttX has successfully booted and is, apparently,
running normmally. If D10 is flashing at approximately 2Hz, then a fatal error
has been detected and the system has halted.

* ``CONFIG_U[S]ARTn_2STOP`` - Two stop bits
Configurations
==============
Each SAM4S Xplained configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and can be
selected as follow:
.. code:: console
$ tools/configure.shsam4s-xplained:<subdir>
Before building, make sure the ``PATH`` environment variable includes the correct
path to the directory than holds your toolchain binaries.
And then build NuttX by simply typing the following. At the conclusion of the
make, the nuttx binary will reside in an ELF file called, simply, nuttx.
.. code:: console
$ make
The ``<subdir>`` that is provided above as an argument to the
``tools/configure.sh`` must be is one of the following.
1. These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool. To change any
of these configurations using that tool, you should:
a. Build and install the ``kconfig-mconf`` tool. See ``nuttx/README.txt`` see
additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.
b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the reconfiguration
process.
2. Unless stated otherwise, all configurations generate console output on UART1
which is available on J1 or J4 (see the section "Serial Consoles" above).
USART1 or the virtual COM port on UART0 are options. The virtual COM port
could be used, for example, by reconfiguring to use UART0 like:
System Type -> AT91SAM3/4 Peripheral Support
* ``CONFIG_SAM_UART0=y``
* ``CONFIG_SAM_UART1=n``
Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> Serial Console
* ``CONFIG_UART0_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y``
Device Drivers -> Serial Driver Support -> UART0 Configuration
* ``CONFIG_UART0_2STOP=0``
* ``CONFIG_UART0_BAUD=115200``
* ``CONFIG_UART0_BITS=8``
* ``CONFIG_UART0_PARITY=0``
* ``CONFIG_UART0_RXBUFSIZE=256``
* ``CONFIG_UART0_TXBUFSIZE=256``
3. Unless otherwise stated, the configurations are setup for Linux (or any other
POSIX environment like Cygwin under Windows):
Build Setup:
* ``CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y``: Linux or other POSIX environment
4. These configurations use the older, OABI, buildroot toolchain. But that is
easily reconfigured:
System Type -> Toolchain:
* ``CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y``: Buildroot toolchain
* ``CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_OABI=y``: Older, OABI toolchain
If you want to use the Atmel GCC toolchain, here are the steps to do so:
Build Setup:
* ``CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y``: Windows
* ``CONFIG_HOST_CYGWIN=y``: Using Cygwin or other POSIX environment
System Type -> Toolchain:
* ``CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABI=y``: General GCC EABI toolchain under windows
This re-configuration should be done before making NuttX or else the
subsequent 'make' will fail. If you have already attempted building
NuttX then you will have to:
1. ``make distclean`` to remove the old configuration
2. ``tools/configure.sh sam3u-ek/ksnh`` to start with a fresh configuration, and
3. Perform the configuration changes above.
Also, make sure that your PATH variable has the new path to your Atmel tools.
Try ``which arm-none-eabi-gcc`` to make sure that you are selecting the right
tool.
See also the "NOTE about Windows native toolchains" in the section call "GNU
Toolchain Options" above.
nsh

This configuration directory will built the NuttShell.
The configuration configuration can be modified to include support
for the on-board SRAM (1MB).
System Type -> External Memory Configuration
* ``CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0=y``: Select SRAM on CS0
* ``CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0SIZE=1048576``: Size=1MB
Now what are you going to do with the SRAM. There are two choices:
1. To enable the NuttX RAM test that may be used to verify the
external SRAM:
System Type -> External Memory Configuration
* ``CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0HEAP=n``: Don't add to heap
Application Configuration -> System NSH Add-Ons
* ``CONFIG_TESTING_RAMTEST=y``: Enable the RAM test built-in
In this configuration, the SDRAM is not added to heap and so is not
excessible to the applications. So the RAM test can be freely executed
against the SRAM memory beginning at address ``0x6000:0000`` (CS0).
.. code:: console
nsh> ramtest -h
Usage: <noname> [-w|h|b] <hex-address> <decimal-size>
Where:
<hex-address> starting address of the test.
<decimal-size> number of memory locations (in bytes).
-w Sets the width of a memory location to 32-bits.
-h Sets the width of a memory location to 16-bits (default).
-b Sets the width of a memory location to 8-bits.
To test the entire external SRAM:
.. code:: console
nsh> ramtest 60000000 1048576
RAMTest: Marching ones: 60000000 1048576
RAMTest: Marching zeroes: 60000000 1048576
RAMTest: Pattern test: 60000000 1048576 55555555 aaaaaaaa
RAMTest: Pattern test: 60000000 1048576 66666666 99999999
RAMTest: Pattern test: 60000000 1048576 33333333 cccccccc
RAMTest: Address-in-address test: 60000000 1048576
2. To add this RAM to the NuttX heap, you would need to change the
configuration as follows:
System Type -> External Memory Configuration
* ``CONFIG_SAM34_EXTSRAM0HEAP=y``: Add external RAM to heap
Memory Management
* ``-CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=1``: Only the internal SRAM
* ``+CONFIG_MM_REGIONS=2``: Also include external SRAM
