#1684 slightly varied RF startup time and, as a result, threw ContikiMAC timing configuration off. This manifests itself with very poor CC13xx PROP mode radio performance, as documented in #1747.
This pull fixes this bug by slightly increasing ContikiMAC's inter-packet interval. This gives the receiver a little more time to respond with an ACK to unicast frames.
Fixes#1747
`CC2650_FAST_RADIO_STARTUP` is required for TSCH, but it currently breaks ContikiMAC. We set the default value to the one that will work with the default choice of RDC.
Fixes#1744
This adds support for flashing to multiple devices, by implementing the
$MOTES option used by the Z1.
This replaces the $PORT interface, as it only allowed flashing to one
device at a time, and the $MOTES interface was still used for other
tasks (such as getting a list of connected devices).
A foreach loop is used to dynamically create an upload rule per device
that needs to be flashed.
The "main" upload rule depends on the device specific ones.
This allows for parallel flashing.
The PORT variable can still be sued for backwards compatibility.
Changed the MOTES variable that makes a $(shell) call to not be
recursively expanded.
- platform/atarixl/Makefile.atarixl: put two more objects into high memory
- platform/atarixl/contiki-conf.h: define WWW_CONF_WGET_EXEC
- tools/6502/Makefile: add 'clean' target; remove unused CONTIKI define
Change certain CPP conditionals into C conditionals, which should be possible for the compiler to optimize at runtime. This makes the source code easier to read.
According to the CC1310LP design files, the flash on it is the same as the flash on the CC2650 LP (MX25R8035F 8Mbit). However, the flash on some CC1310 LPs reportedly identifies itself as the 16Mbit one (MX25R1635F). Instruction sets are identical, we simply need to tell the driver to recognise this part's Device ID.
The block that controls the `.upload` target is unnecessarily replicated in multiple sub-board Makefiles. This was originally done because the SmartRF and the Launchpad can be programmed with the c2538-bsl script, whereas the sensortag cannot.
This commit moves the `cc2538-bsl` / `.upload` target logic to the top level cpu Makefile (`cpu/cc26xx-cc13xx/Makefile.cc26xx-cc13xx`). Board makefiles simply set the make variable `BOARD_SUPPORTS_BSL` to 1 to signal that they can be programmed by the BSL script. If `BOARD_SUPPORTS_BSL` is not equal to 1, trying to use the `.upload` target will return an error message.
For example:
```
$ make BOARD=sensortag/cc2650 cc26xx-demo.upload
using saved target 'srf06-cc26xx'
This board cannot be programmed with the ROM bootloader and therefore does not support the .upload target.
```
Two errors have been spotted, when IPv6 is enabled in the ravenusb
Project-Makefile:
#CONTIKI_NO_NET=1
CONTIKI_WITH_IPV6=1
The compile error results from a variable name mismatch in cdc_task.c
The variable 'r' is undeclared and should be renamed to 'route'
The linker also fails with 'undefined references'
This has been mediated by adding 'core/net' to Modules in the
Project-Makefile.
Rename guhRF platform to osd-merkur-256, previous osd-merkur platform is
now osd-merkur-128. Also check that everything is consistent.
Add both platforms to the regression tests.
Move redundant files in platform dev directory of both platforms to
cpu/avr/dev. Note that this probably needs some rework. Already
discovered some inconsistency in io definitions of both devices in the
avr/io.h includes. Added a workaround in the obvious cases.
The platform makefiles now set correct parameters for bootloader and for
reading mac-address from flash memory.
Factor the flash programming into cpu/avr and platform/osd-merkur* and
rework *all* osd example makefiles to use the new settings. Also update
all the flash.sh and run.sh to use the new settings.
The suli ledstrip modules (and osd example) have also been removed.
This patch adds a simple non-driver protection domain sample to serve
as an example for defining other non-driver protection domains. It
simply performs a ping-pong test of protection domain switching
latency during boot, including optional accesses to a private metadata
region, and prints out the results.
This patch extends the protection domain framework with an additional
plugin to use Task-State Segment (TSS) structures to offload much of
the work of switching protection domains to the CPU. This can save
space compared to paging, since paging requires two 4KiB page tables
and one 32-byte page table plus one whole-system TSS and an additional
32-byte data structure for each protection domain, whereas the
approach implemented by this patch just requires a 128-byte data
structure for each protection domain. Only a small number of
protection domains will typically be used, so
n * 128 < 8328 + (n * 32).
For additional information, please refer to cpu/x86/mm/README.md.
GCC 6 is introducing named address spaces for the FS and GS segments
[1]. LLVM Clang also provides address spaces for the FS and GS
segments [2]. This patch also adds support to the multi-segment X86
memory management subsystem for using these features instead of inline
assembly blocks, which enables type checking to detect some address
space mismatches.
[1] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Named-Address-Spaces.html
[2] http://llvm.org/releases/3.3/tools/clang/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#target-specific-extensions
This patch implements a simple, lightweight form of protection domains
using a pluggable framework. Currently, the following plugin is
available:
- Flat memory model with paging.
The overall goal of a protection domain implementation within this
framework is to define a set of resources that should be accessible to
each protection domain and to prevent that protection domain from
accessing other resources. The details of each implementation of
protection domains may differ substantially, but they should all be
guided by the principle of least privilege. However, that idealized
principle is balanced against the practical objectives of limiting the
number of relatively time-consuming context switches and minimizing
changes to existing code.
For additional information, please refer to cpu/x86/mm/README.md.
This patch also causes the C compiler to be used as the default linker
and assembler.
This patch configures Isolated Memory Regions (IMRs) to block DMA to
code and data regions that do not contain any data that needs to be
DMA-accessible.
The Intel Quark X1000 SoC includes support for Isolated Memory Regions
(IMRs), which are specified using range registers and associated
control registers that are accessible via the message bus. This patch
adds a driver for accessing those registers.
The Intel Quark X1000 SoC includes a message bus that is accessible
via PCI configuration registers. It communicates to various SoC
components such as the Isolated Memory Region (IMR) registers and the
Remote Management Unit. This patch adds a driver for accessing the
message bus.
Otherwise a crash results with a bootloader compiled with a newer AVR
toolchain (e.g. Debian Jessie). If you still have an ages-old bootloader
without a jump-table, as a short-term measure you can revert this change
in your run.sh. As a long-term fix we recommend you get your bootloader
updated!
This patch revises the I2C and GPIO initialization code to always be
run during platform boot rather than within each process that requires
it.
This patch also revises the gpio-output example to use a pin that is
set as an output by the default pinmux configuration. Previously, it
used a pin that was set as an output by the pinmux configuration that
is in effect when the OS does not change the pinmux configuration.
This patch permits interrupts to be generated by both the I2C and GPIO
controllers for simultaneously-executing applications. The controllers
share a single interrupt pin, INTC. Prior to this patch,
quarkX1000_gpio_init() routed INTA to PIRQC and IRQ 10 (due to an
incorrect assumption that INTA is connected to the GPIO controller),
and quarkX1000_i2c_init() routed INTC to PIRQC and IRQ 9. The I2C
controller initialization is a prerequisite for GPIO initialization,
so the final configuration was that INTA and INTC were both routed to
PIRQC and IRQ 10. Thus, only the GPIO ISR was being invoked, even if
the I2C controller was actually responsible for the interrupt.
This patch refactors the I2C and GPIO ISR setup and handler code so
that the shared portions are combined in
cpu/x86/drivers/legacy_pc/shared-isr.[ch]. The I2C and GPIO drivers
communicate their interrupt information to the shared component by
placing structures in a specific section of the binary.
This commit creates a `common` directory, aimed to host drivers supported by multiple boards of the CC13xx/CC26xx family.
We move the Sensortag SPI and External Flash drivers to this location and we change the Sensortag build system to pull the respective files from therein.
The driver currently supports two Winbond external flash parts with identical instruction sets. The instruction set of the Macronix MX25R8035F appears to be a superset. We therefore change the driver to add the MID/DID of the Macronix to the list of supported parts.
This will subsequently allow us to share the same driver for both the SensorTag and the CC2650 LauchPad.
This patch revises the compiler flags when LLVM Clang is in use to
cause Clang to automatically use its built-in header files rather than
those for GCC.
Also added a 2-minutes average wind direction value, replaced the 240 bytes buffer from the reference example, but probably there's room for efficiency improvement
This is to prevent a compile error caused by function prototype conflict between a function called `select()` (present in a number of sensortag peripheral drivers) and the one in `sys/select.h`. The error manifests itself with gcc-arm-embedded version 5.2.1 20151202 (2015-q4).
To fix the error we simply rename our function.
Fixes#1434
This patch adds support for optionally building EFI binaries in
addition to Multiboot ELF binaries. It includes a script,
build_uefi.sh, that downloads tool and library sources from the EDK II
project, builds the GenFw tool that is used to create UEFI binaries,
and creates a makefile that is included from the main x86 common
makefile and enables UEFI support in the Contiki build system. If the
script is not run prior to building Contiki, then an informational
message will be displayed with instructions for running build_uefi.sh
if UEFI support is desired. This patch also adds the path to the
auto-generated makefile to .gitignore.
This patch modifies the linker script for the Intel Quark X1000 to
account for the output file section offsets and alignment expectations
of the EDK II GenFw project.
This patch also adds a newlib patch to remove the weak symbol
attribute from floating point stdio support routines. See
<newlib>/newlib/README for an explanation of how the newlib developers
intended for _printf_float and _scanf_float to be linked. Newlib
declares them as weak symbols with the intention that developers would
force them to be linked only when needed using a linker command line
option. However, some but not all Contiki programs require them, so
we cannot simply always include or exclude them. Instead, we remove
the weak symbol attributes and rely on the linker to automatically
determine whether or not they should be linked. This avoids an issue
in which weak symbols were undefined in the intermediate DLL generated
as part of the UEFI build process. That resulted in the GenFw program
emitting "ERROR 3000" messages when it encountered relocations
referencing such an undefined symbol.
Finally, this patch updates README.md to both make some revisions to
account for the UART support introduced in previous patches as well as
to provide instructions for using the UEFI support.
This patch modifies the newlib and Contiki C and C++ compiler flags to
omit exception handling unwind tables (see
http://wiki.dwarfstd.org/index.php?title=Exception_Handling).
Removing these tables saves space in debug builds and has not caused
any readily-apparent functional changes.
Here is the size listing for an example program built without this
patch:
text data bss dec hex filename
76002 1508 21224 98734 181ae all-timers.galileo
Here is the size listing for the same program with this patch:
text data bss dec hex filename
72918 1508 21224 95650 175a2 all-timers.galileo
The primary motivation for this patch is to help enable UEFI support.
The .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr sections that are otherwise generated
are treated as code sections by the EDK2 GenFw program, since they are
read-only alloc sections. They get grouped with the actual code
sections, ahead of the data sections. This perturbs symbols and
complicates debugging.
This patch adds support for Ethernet to the Intel Galileo port. It
uses the Intel Quark X1000 Ethernet driver. It initializes the first
Ethernet interface and starts some common network services. By
default, it uses the following addresses:
- Host: 192.0.2.2
- Netmask: 255.255.255.0
- Default gateway: 192.0.2.1
- DNS server: (same as default gateway)
These settings can be changed by editing eth-conf.c.
This patch adds the galileo-pinmux.c and galileo-pinmux.h files,
which support access to pinmux configuration through a function
interface.
This is not 100% supported yet due to some pinmux paths
need Quark X1000 GPIO (legacy and non-legacy) configurations.
After we finish to implement Quark X1000 GPIO driver we'll add
support for this.
This patch adds pwm-pca9685.c and pwm-pca9685.h files,
which support access to I2C-based PCA9685 PWM controller
configuration register through a function interface.
The PCA9685 is an I2C-bus controlled 16-channel LED controller
optimized for Red/Green/Blue/Amber (RGBA) color backlighting
applications. Each LED output has its own 12-bit resolution
(4096 steps) fixed frequency individual PWM controller that
operates at a programmable frequency from a typical of 24 Hz to
1526 Hz with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 % to 100 %
to allow the LED to be set to a specific brightness value.
More about PCA9685 can be found in its datasheet[1].
This driver is needed in order to configure Galileo pinmux.
[1] - http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/PCA9685.pdf
This patch adds gpio-pcal9535a.c and gpio-pcal9535a.h files,
which support access to I2C-based PCAL9535A GPIO controller
configuration register through a function interface.
The PCAL9535A is a low-voltage 16-bit GPIO expander with interrupt
and reset for I2C-bus/SMBus applications. It contains the PCA9535
register set of four pairs of 8-bit Configuration, Input, Output,
and Polarity Inversion registers, and additionally, the PCAL9535A has
Agile I/O, which are additional features specifically designed to
enhance the I/O. More about PCAL9535A can be found in its datasheet[1].
This driver is needed in order to configure Galileo pinmux.

This patch adds -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections to the
'release' CFLAGS so each function and data is place into its
own section in the output file. It also adds --gc-section to
the 'release' LDFLAGS so the linker removes the sections which
are not referenced.
This patch also adds -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections
options to CFLAGS from build_newlib.sh. This increases newlib
static libraries size, however, the Contiki image shrinks even
more since --gc-section removes "dead code" from newlib.
As a practical effect, all unused function and data (as well as
sections such as .eh_frame) are striped out from the final elf
binary. This shrinks our release binary drastically.
Finally, to prevent --gc-section from removing .multiboot section,
this patch adds KEEP(*(.multiboot)) to quarkX1000.ld.
This patch slightly revises CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to specify the
optimization and debugging options and linker script in a way that is
compatible with using Clang as the C compiler and to invoke the linker
(i.e. CC = clang and LD = clang).
This patch modifies the include order to include headers from newlib
ahead of those from the core of Contiki. The only header file names
that are common between Contiki and newlib are assert.h and config.h,
but the config.h files in Contiki are only located in ports for other
CPUs so they are irrelevant to this patch. The motivation for this
patch is to cause files that include assert.h to include the one from
newlib that halts when an assertion fails. The assert implementation
in the core of Contiki does not halt when an assertion fails.
This patch also adds newlib syscall stubs that are required by the
newlib assert implementation and the _exit syscall function that halts
the system.
Finally, this patch updates some other newlib syscall stubs to
properly indicate their status as unsupported syscalls.
This patch revises README.md to mention the UART support introduced by
earlier patches in the section about verifying that Contiki is
running. It also revises the serial console setup instructions to
focus on the more thoroughly tested option.
This patch removes 'newlib-syscalls.c' from CONTIKI_SOURCEFILES variable
and appends it to PROJECT_SOURCEFILES. This way the buildsystem will
automatically consider the newlib-syscalls object code during linking
time.
This patch adds support for building release images. The main difference
between release images and default images is that the former is optimized
for size while the latter is "optimized" for debugging. To build a release
image, the BUILD_RELEASE variable should be set to 1. For instance, the
following command build a release image from the hello-world application:
$ cd examples/hello-world && make TARGET=galileo BUILD_RELEASE=1
To optimize for size we use the '-Os' option from gcc. This option also
enables the strict aliasing optimization. This generates lots of warning
messages since we use the '-Wall' option and lots of code in core/net/
break the strict-aliasing rules. Some test have shown that the strict
aliasing optimization it not taking effect in the final binary. For that
reasons, this patch manually disables the optimization. Also, the release
image is stripped.
For the sake of comparison, below follows the output from 'wc' and 'size'
for both debugging (default) and release images.
Default image:
$ wc -c hello-world.galileo
71112 hello-world.galileo
$ size hello-world.galileo
text data bss dec hex filename
20379 1188 12808 34375 8647 hello-world.galileo
Release image:
$ wc -c hello-world.galileo
26320 hello-world.galileo
$ size hello-world.galileo
text data bss dec hex filename
18146 1156 12808 32110 7d6e hello-world.galileo
This patch removes _kill_r and _getpid_r stubs since they are not
required by newlib at this moment. These stubs should not be in
the commit that introduced the initial newlib-syscalls.c file.
This patch introduces the initial support for stdio library in Galileo
platform. For now, only standard output and error are supported. Both
streams use the UART1 device.
Newlib doesn't call open() for stdin, stdout, and stderr which means
that the _write_r call is the first activity the stub will see on
those streams. For that reason, we initialize the UART1 device in
Galileo's platform main() function instead of in open() system call.
This patch implements the _sbrk_r() system call for Galileo platform. This
system call is required by newlib's malloc() implementation. Next patch
will introduce the initial support for stdio library which requires a
working malloc() function for proper operation.
We are not sure about the heap size we should use. Preliminary tests
have shown that stdio library requests 1032 bytes heap. So, as an initial
guess, a 2Kb heap size should be enough for now.
This patch enhances build_newlib.sh to create Makefile.libc so that
the main Galileo makefile can attempt to include Makefile.libc and
instruct the developer to run build_newlib.sh first if the definition
within Makefile.libc is not detected.
This patch moves the compiler and linking options related to QuarkX1000
SoC to Makefile.x86_quarkX1000 since it is more suitable. For instance,
'-m32' should be used in any platform based on QuarkX1000, not only
Galileo. The same rationale applies for the others options (e.g. -march,
mtune).
The CFLAGS setting used for the newlib build process includes
"-mtune=i586" as does the ASFLAGS setting used for the Contiki build
process. However, the CFLAGS setting used for the Contiki build
process did not include that flag. This patch adds it for
consistency.
Ubuntu enables GCC's stack protector by default (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features). This causes link errors
like the following:
...undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'
To avoid these errors, this patch adds the "-fno-stack-protector" flag
to both the CFLAGS used by the Contiki build process and the CFLAGS
used by the newlib build process.
