This patch replaces the gcc option '-Og' by '-O0' which is used when
building debugging binaries. The motivation for this change comes
from the fact that we have found at least one optimization done by
'-Og' that interfered with one of our debugging sessions.
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.
PCI Interrupt Routing is mapped using Interrupt Queue Agents
IRQAGENT[0:3] and aggregating the INT[A:D] interrupts for each
PCI-mapped device in the SoC.
PCI based interrupts PIRQ[A:H] are then available for consumption
by either the 8259 PICs or the IO-APIC, depending on the configuration
of the 8 PIRQx Routing Control Registers PIRQ[A:H].

When generating binaries, gcc will always add information of what it
calls "the exception handler framework" into its own section: .eh_frame.
This section is based on the DWARF format's call frame information (CFI) [1]
and holds information that can be useful for debuggers but also for language
constructs that relies on always having stack unwinding information (i.e. exceptions).
Such constructs, however, are pretty much useless for the C language and are
mainly just used on C++. Furthermore, this section is one of the loadable sections
of a binary, meaning it will take extra space on flash.
When .eh_frame is not present, debuggers can still get the exact same information
they need for unwinding a stack frame and for restoring registers thanks to yet
another section: .debug_frame. This section is generated by '-g' gcc option and
friends. It is actually defined by DWARF and, as opposed to .eh_frame, is not a
loadable section. In other words, it is 'strippable' while .eh_frame is not.
Since all we need is the debug information we can get from .debug_frame, we can
disable the generation of these large and unused information tables by using gcc's
'-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables'. The .eh_frame section stays around but the code
size issue is heavily tackled. This is the same approach taken on other projects
that target small code size generation [2] [3].
Pratically speaking, on a DEBUG build of the all-timers appplication, before this
patch we had:
text data bss dec hex filename
21319 1188 12952 35459 8a83 all-timers.galileo
And now, after this patch:
text data bss dec hex filename
16347 1188 12952 30487 7717 all-timers.galileo
This means a ~5Kb reduction on the loadable text segment (.text + .rodata + .eh_frame).
The flag is applied regardless of build type, DEBUG or RELEASE, since it benefits both.
Note that when release builds apply --gc-sections, they will remove .eh_frame section entirely.

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).
The SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER macro in interrupt.h used an inline assembly
feature to cause GCC to generate a unique number for a trampoline
label. Clang compiled the code using that feature without generating
any compile-time errors, but it always generated the number 0,
resulting in all interrupt trampolines having the same label names.
This patch replaces the usage of that feature with local labels, which
are supported by both GCC and Clang. See
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Symbol-Names.html for an
explanation of local labels.
The SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER macro defines and registers an interrupt
handler. It outputs a trampoline for the interrupt handler using a
block of inline assembly, and the address of that trampoline is what
is actually placed in the IDT. That trampoline invokes the main body
of the interrupt handler.
This patch adds a missing clobber list to the inline assembly block.
It simply lists the caller-saved registers defined by the cdecl
calling convention: EAX, ECX, and EDX. This is necessary, because the
inline assembly block invokes idt_set_intr_gate_desc using a call
instruction at the time the function containing the
SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER instance is executed. The
idt_set_intr_gate_desc function is free to clobber EAX, ECX, and EDX
according to cdecl. A Clang-generated implementation of
idt_set_intr_gate_desc did in fact clobber those registers, resulting
in incorrect operation of the code following an instance of
SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER. The change in this patch informs the compiler
that those registers may be clobbered so that it can adjust the code
that it outputs around the inline assembly block accordingly.
Child sections can be created depending on the CFLAGS used when building Contiki.
For instance, if built with -ffunction-sections or -fdata-sections would create
one section per function/variable and -Os sometimes split part of .text into one
child section.
This can also be an issue if we start linking with external libraries that are
built in such a way. Since we can't foresee how the port is going to be used,
we should make sure it is ready for the cases above.
This patch fixes this by correctly grouping child sections into their parent
sections.
Patch developed while investigating a bug with José Souza (jose.souza@intel.com).
This patch appends some gcc options to CFLAGS when building the default
image in order to improve the debugging experience on GDB.
We use the '-ggdb' option which produces debugging information used by
GDB (including GDB extensions) with level 3 which includes preprocessor
macros information. We also use '-Og' which enables optimizations that
do not interfere with debugging. According to gcc manpage, it should be
the optimization level of choice for the standard edit-compile-debug
cycle, offering a reasonable level of optimization while maintaining
fast compilation and a good debugging experience.
Also, this patch removes the '-g' option from the default CFLAGS because
there is no point in using it when BUILD_RELEASE=1.
As expected, the overall ELF image increases (due to -ggdb3 option) while
the .text section is reduced (due to -Og). For the sake of comparison,
below follows the output of 'size'.

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.

$ wc -c hello-world.galileo

This patch adds a driver for an MMIO-accessible 16X50 UART. It
assumes that the boot firmware assigned an MMIO range to the UART. It
operates in polled mode with FIFOs enabled.
This patch adds a generic device driver structure with a field for
referencing an MMIO range. It also provides a structure
initialization procedure that initializes the MMIO range field with
the value read from the PCI BAR0 register for a device.
This patch adds the pci.c and pci.h files, which support access to PCI
configuration registers through a function interface. It defines the
PCI configuration register access I/O port addresses and the
pci_config_addr union and structure to assist in specifying addresses
of PCI configuration registers. It also defines the PCI configuration
register identifier for PCI BAR0.
This patch also adds wrappers for 32-bit 'in' and 'out' port I/O
instructions. They were placed in helpers.S, since they may be useful
to other modules besides just the PCI support module.
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).
This patch does several cleanups in Makefile.x86_common file. The
changes are described above.
1) The CFLAGNO variable was removed since it is used only to assign
the CFLAGS variable. Also, CFLAGNO is not used outside Makefile.x86_
common.
2) The "-I/usr/local/include" option was removed since we provide manually
the include path from newlib in the bsp/ directory.
3) We only support building x86-based platforms on Linux so there is no
point in setting LDFLAGS conditionally.
4) The '-export-dynamic' option was removed from LDFLAGS since we are not
creating a dynamically linked executable.
5) Makefile.x86_quarkX1000 is the only one that includes Makefile.x86_
common. Since it doesn't use the custom rules from Makefile.x86_
common we remove them.
This patch adds "--build-id=none" to default LDFLAGS so
.note.gnu.build-id section is not generated. This section
contains unique identification for the built files what is
not important to us (at least at this moment).
This change simplifies all linker scripts for SoCs based on x86
(at this moment we only have Quark X1000) since we don't have to
care about it anymore.
According to [1], we should disable non-maskable and maskable interrupts
while initializing RTC. Otherwise, the RTC may be left in an undefined
state (non-functional) if an interrupt occurs. Currently, maskable
interrupts are already disabled, but NMI is not.
This patch adds helpers APIs to enable/disable non-maskable interrupts
(NMI) and changes rtc_init() to disable NMI while initializing the RTC.
NMI enable/disable code is legacy-PC specific therefore it was put in
driver/legacy_pc/ directory.
Regarding the RTC initialization changes, just calling nmi_disable() and
nmi_enable is not enough since NMI and RTC share the same IO port. So We
should also set the NMI_ENABLE bit while selecting the RTC_INDEX.
Additionally, the nmi_disable() call is not strictly required since we
set the NMI_ENABLE bit while selecting the RTC_INDEX. However, to make
clear hat we are disabling NMI and to improve readability (by matching
NMI disable/enable), the nmi_disable() call was purposely used.

This is a refactoring patch, no functionality is changed. It moves
loader.S and galileo.ld from platform/galileo/ to cpu/x86/ directory
since they seem to be more SoC-specific than platform-specific.
It also renames galileo.ld to quarkX1000.ld since it can be used by
any platform based on Quark X1000 SoC, not only Galileo.
Furthermore, this patch also renames loader.S to bootstrap_quarkX1000.S
since it is pretty much a bootstrap code to any platform based on Quark
X1000 SoC.
This commit turns cpu_init() into a SoC-agnostic function by
removing any SoC specific calls and isolating them into their
own SoC implementation.
We start this by isolating all IRQs initialization code from
the legacy-pc target, pic_init() and spurious IRQ7 registration,
into a new interface: irq_init() from irq.h. Future SoCs will have
to provide their own implementation of this interface.
This model is to be followed by future initialization code that
we may need to add and which is not common to all x86 SoCs.
The x86/init/common/ folder holds all cpu initialization
code - idt and gdt setup, interrupts and cpu initialization.
On this folder will also sit any SoC specific implementation of
the functions called from cpu_init().
Now the cpu/x86/ provides a Makefile.x86_common and a
Makefile.x86_pc. The former includes the common Makefile
and adds legacy pc specific implementations (currently,
drivers only) into the building context, while the latter
has everything that defines the bootstrap of a x86 CPU.
This commit also fixes platform/galileo/ so it includes the
correct makefile - Makefile.x86_quarkX1000. Galileo uses
a Quark X1000 SoC which is not an IBM Generic PC-like CPU,
but it does provide most of a PCs peripherals through
its "Legacy Bridge". Thus, it makes sense that QuarkX1000's
Makefile includes code from the legacy_pc x86 cpu.
All drivers implemented so far are for chips which are only available
on legacy x86 PCs. This commit moves them into a more appropriate folder,
also making the cpu/x86/drivers/ folder ready for other x86 based SoCs.
Currently, it is common to see Contiki's core/ interfaces implementations
spread in both cpu/ and platform/. We here take one step further starting
an effort to centralize all of these in platform's code instead.
This commit starts this by adding platform/galileo/core/ and its sys/
subfolder, adding a stubbed mtarch.h and moving clock and rtimer
implementations to this new folder. From now on we should concentrate
implementation from Contiki's core/ interfaces into the appropriate
subfolder in platform/galileo/core/.
Note that this is not the current fashion followed on other platforms
and cpus folders, as most of them add the core interface implementation
into its subfolder directly. For instance, on CC2538DK,
core/dev/button-sensor.h is implemented in platform/cc2538dk/dev/
directly, while on Galileo it would sit at platform/galileo/core/dev/.
We believe ours is a better approach to organize and escalate a
platform's code base.
We also remove previous x86 mtarch.h and mtarch.c since they weren't used
at all - both native and cooja platforms have their own mtarch
implementations.
The 8259a PIC has a well known problem of generating flaky
IRQ7 interrupts. The correct solution is to always check
if an IRQ7 interrupt is real or not by probing the PIC's ISR
register. This check is only mandatory if the IRQ7 is actually
being used by the system. More importantly, the handler should
NEVER send and EOI if the interrupt was spurious.
This patch addresses this issue by implementing a fake empty
handler for this IRQ and, as stated, NOT sending the EOI.
This commit implements pic_eoi(int irq) and a helper macro PIC_INT(irq).
This first checks which PICs should be 'acked' given an IRQ number, while
the macro returns the actual system interrupt number for the IRQ according
to the offset used on the PIC initialization.
This patch implements the pic_unmask_irq() helper and uses it where
applicable. This function zeros the corresponding bit from the IRQ
number in IMR register.
This patch doesn't implement the pic_mask_irq() helper since it is not
useful at this moment.
This patch adds a driver for the 8254 Programmable Interrupt Timer (PIT).
The driver introduced by this patch programs the PIT to generate interrupt
periodically. The interrupt frequency can be configured by the user.
On each PIT interrupt, a callback configured by the user is called. As
expected, that callback is executed in interrupt context so the user
should be aware of what it is not supposed to do (e.g. to call blocking
functions).
Issues marked as FIXME are all related to missing APIs on the PIC driver
so they will be addressed by a future commit.
This patch adds a driver for Real-Time Clock (RTC). The RTC timer is
suitable to implement some operating system features such as the
system clock. Actually, the RTC will be used to implement the system
clock in galileo platform.
The driver introduced by this patch programs the RTC to generate
interrupt periodically. The interrupt frequency can be configured by the
user. On each RTC interrupt, a callback configured by the user is called.
As expected, that callback is executed in interrupt context so the user
should be aware of what it is not supposed to do (e.g. to call blocking
functions).
This patch also adds the inb() helper function to helpers.h. The helpers
is a wrapper for assembly 'in' instruction.
The Programmable Interrupt Controller is a chip responsible for
translating hardware interrupts to system interrupts. When it
receives an Interrupt Request (IRQ), it triggers the appropriate
interrupt line reaching the appropriate IDT gate, following a
previously setup offset.
There are 2 daisy-chained PICs. PIC1 handles IRQs 0-7 and PIC2
handles IRQs 8-15. If no vector offset is set, an IRQ0, for instance,
would trigger the interrupt 0, clashing with the "Division by zero exception"
handler. Thus the IRQs must be remapped.
This patch implements the PICs initialization through their 4
Initialization Command Words (ICWs) in a very "canonical" way:
- ICW1: the initializing command;
- ICW2: the vector offset for the PIC1 and PIC2 (we add an offset of 32 positions);
- ICW3: the inter-PICs wiring setup (we connect PIC2 to PIC1's IRQ2);
- ICW4: extra systems information (we set PIC1 as Master and PIC2 as slave).
It then masks the Interrupt Mask Register, blocking all IRQs but #2 initially.
These must be unmasked on demand. The IMR is 8-bits long, so setting the n^th bit to 1
would DISABLE the IRQ n while setting it to 0 would ENABLE IRQ n.
As stated, this is an implementation of the legacy 8259 PIC. More
investigation is needed so we decide if it is enough or if we need
the (newer) APIC implementation instead.
This patch also adds the outb() helper function to helpers.h. The helpers
is a wrapper for assembly 'out' instruction.
Finally, since we now properly support hardware interrupts, this patch
also enables IRQs in platform main().

This patch sets an interrupt handler for Double Fault exception during
CPU initialization. In case such exception is raised, we halt the system.
This way, we avoid the system to triple fault (due to an unhandled
interrupt for instance), leaving no trace about what cause the triple
fault.
This patch introduces the interrupt.h header file which provides some
helper macros to set a interrupt handler and disable/enable maskable
hardware interrupts.
Since there is no easy way to write an Interrupt Service Routines
(ISR) in C (for further information on this, see [1]), we introduce
the SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER helper macro.
The macro does two things:
1) Defines an assembly trampolin to a C function that will, indeed,
handle the interrupt.
2) Sets the corresponding interrupt gate descriptor in IDT.
The macro usage is pretty straightforward. The macro is defined as
SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER(num, has_error_code, handler) where:
@num: Interrupt number (0-255)
@has_error_code: 0 if processor doesn't push error code onto the
stack. Otherwise, set this argument to 1.
@handler: Pointer to function that should be called once the
interrupt is raised. In case has_error_code == 0
the function prototype should be the following:
void handler(void)
Otherwise, it should be:
void handler(struct interrupt_context context)
For instance, let's say we want to set a handler for a device interrupt
(for example, interrupt number 101). Remember, hardware interrupts don't
have error code. So we should have something like this:
void interrupt_handler(void)
{
/* Handling code here */
}
void my_device_init(void)
{
...
SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER(101, 0, interrupt_handler);
...
}
Now, let's say we want to set an interrupt handler for Page Fault
(interrupt number 14). Some exceptions, such as Page Fault, pushes an
error code onto the stack and may require registers values in order
to be properly be handled. Thus, the code should look like this:
void pagefault_handler(struct interrupt_context context)
{
/* Handling code here */
}
void init_memory(void)
{
...
SET_INTERRUPT_HANDLER(14, 1, pagefault_handler);
...
}
For further information about exceptions and error code, refer to Intel
Combined Manual, Vol. 3, Sections 6.3 and 6.13.
Finally, we don't define any API to unregister interrupt handlers since
we believe that it wouldn't be useful at all, at least at this moment.
Considering Contiki's context, interrupt handler registration is pretty
"static" and defined at compile-time by platform code (or the device
drivers used by the platform).

This patch defines the cpu_init() function which should encapsulate
all code related to x86 CPU initialization. For now, this function
initializes GDT and IDT.
This patch adds code to handle Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT)
initialization. The IDT is initialized with null descriptors
therefore any interrupt at this point will cause a triple fault.
The IDT initialization is part of x86 CPU initialization.
Strictly speaking, there is no need to use attribute packed in struct
intr_gate_desc however we use it for readability reasons.
This patch adds the helpers.h. This file should contain only x86-related
helper functions and macros. For now, we define the BIT macro and halt()
helpers which will be used in upcoming patches.
Additionally, this patch also changes loader.S to call the halt().
This patch adds code to initialize the Global Descriptor Table. For
simplicity, the memory is organized following the flat model. Thus,
memory appears to Contiki as a single, continuous address space. Code,
data, and stack are all contained in this address space (so called
linear address space).
The macros to manipulate bits from segment descriptor and the
set_descriptor() helper are based on the ones described in [1].

This patch changes Galileo's buildsystem to print the elf sections
sizes after a new image is built. This way we can easily track how
these sections increase or decrease after any change.
To achieve that, we define a custom linking rule which is pretty much
the same as the default linking rule define in Makefile.include, but
we run 'size' command after the image is built.
Currently there are only one platform using CPU x86: Cooja. The
elfloader-x86.c is rather a POSIX implementation, so the Galileo port
won't use it for now. This patch fixes this by moving this source file to
be included by the platforms using it instead of the cpu's Makefile.

Coffee is placed by default at the beginning of the flash memory, right
before the firmware. This avoids the memory gaps that there could be
before and after Coffee if it were placed after the firmware, because it
is unlikely that the end of the firmware is aligned with a flash page
boundary, and the CCA is not flash-page-aligned. Thanks to that, Coffee
is also always in the same flash area if its size remains unchanged,
even if the firmware changes, which makes it possible to keep the Coffee
files when reprogramming the firmware after a partial flash erase
command.
The default configuration of Coffee is set to use sensible values for a
typical usage on this SoC, i.e. for sensor data logging.
The default size of Coffee is set to 0 in order not to waste flash if
Coffee is unused.
COFFEE_CONF_CUSTOM_PORT can be defined to a header file to be used with
"#include" in order to override the default CC2538 port of Coffee. This
makes it possible to use Coffee with an external memory device rather
than with the internal flash memory, without having to alter the Contiki
files.

No entry point was defined, so it defaulted to the beginning of the
.text output section where the vector table is located by default in
Contiki. Actually, the vector table may be located elsewhere, and the
ROM-based boot loader first reads the CCA to find the vector table.
Consequently, this commit sets the entry point to the CCA, which fixes
both the entry point and the initial symbol reference, so this commit
also removes the now-unneeded "__used__" and "KEEP" keywords from the
CCA.

The current CC2538 linker script in Contiki places the vector table at
the beginning of the flash memory / .text output section. However, this
location is arbitrary (the only requirement is that the vector table is
512-byte aligned), and custom linker scripts may be used with Contiki,
which means that Contiki may be used with a vector table placed
elsewhere. Thus, using the flash/.text start address in the CCA and as
the default NVIC VTABLE value was wrong.
This commit rather uses the address of the vectors[] array from
startup-gcc.c, which makes it possible to freely move around the vector
table without breaking anything or having to use a custom startup-gcc.c
and to configure the NVIC driver for that. Moreover, referencing the
vectors[] array naturally prevents it and its input section from being
garbage-collected by the linker, so this commit also removes the
now-unneeded "used" and "KEEP" keywords from the vector table.

The only thing needed for VTABLE is the absolute address of the vector
table. Splitting it between code/SRAM base and offset complicates things
and brings nothing.
Consequently, this commit merges the NVIC VTABLE configurations into a
single one giving the vector table absolute address.

This makes more sense than defining the flash memory address and size as
configuration options like previously, all the more not all values are
possible and all the features are linked by each device.
This change also makes it possible to:
- use the correct SRAM parameters for the CC2538NF11,
- know at build time if the AES, SHA, ECC and RSA hardware features are
available on the selected CC2538 device.

This commit fixes nearly all of the reported doxygen warnings.
I tried to not clutter the log with removed trailing spaces.
Removed whitespace and converted tab/spaces for all files affected by this commit
are in a separate branch.
This commit applies a number of improvements to the logic used when trying to drop to a CC13xx/CC26xx low-power mode:
* We identify whether there are any pending etimers by using `etimer_pending()` instead of `etimer_next_expiration_time()`. This subsequently allows us to also identify whether an etimer is set to fire at time 0.
* We run a larger portion of the code with the global interrupt disabled. This prevents a number of messy conditions that can occur if an interrupt fires after we have started the low-power sequence.
* We check whether there are pending events earlier in the sequence.
* We make sure to schedule a next wakeup event even when an LPM module prohibits deep sleep and forces sleep instead.
This fixes some of the issues discussed in #1236
The AON RTC CH1 event handler aims to schedule the next compare event on the next 512 RTC counter boundary. However, the current calculation of "now" takes place too early within the interrupt handler. In some cases, this results in the next event getting scheduled too soon in the future or on some extreme cases even in the past.
AON RTC compare events cannot happen within 2 SCLK_LF cycles after a clearance (4 RTC ticks in the 16.16 format). Thus, if the next 512 boundary is too soon (5 ticks for margin), we skip it altogether. When this happens, etimers that would have expired on the skipped tick will expire 1 tick later instead. Skipping a tick has no negative impact on our s/w clock counter, since this is always derived directly from the hardware counter.
The current logic attempts to send `CMD_SET_TX_POWER` before saving the new power setting. If `CMD_SET_TX_POWER` fails the power setting will not get saved. As a result, when the RFC is powered off, all attempts to change TX power will fail.
This commit changes this logic to always save the new TX setting as requested by the user. If the RFC is powered up, we apply it immediately. If it is powered down, the new setting will automatically be applied next time we send `CMD_RADIO_SETUP`.
Fixes#1340
CC_FASTCALL was introduced many years ago for the cc65 tool chain. It was never used for another tool chain. With a798b1d648 the cc65 tool chain doesn't need CC_FASTCALL anymore.
So far 80 column display was an attribute of a cc65 platform. Now each cc65 application can ask for 80 column display by defining WITH_80COL. Of course this is ignored by platforms incapable of 80 column display.
I see three types of application:
* Applications not benefitting from 80 column at all and in fact looking better with 40 column display. These are now using 40 column display. Examples: ethconfig, ipconfig
* Applications taking advantage of 80 column display if it is available without drawbacks. These stay as they were. Examples: Telnet server, web server, wget
* Applications needing 80 column display so urgently that it is likely desirable even if the display becomes harder to read. These come now in both flavors allowing the user to choose. Examples: IRC, web browser
Note: This change doesn't actually introduce any 80 column display with drawbacks. This if left to a subsequent change.
As discussed in #1294, every time a CC13xx/CC26xx RF interrupt fires, we clear all interrupt flags unconditionally. This may result in missed events. This patch fixes this bug by clearing only the flag that triggered the interrupt in the first place.
Fixes#1294
and should be removed. In the meantime we change those needed
to upload flash and eeprom to depend on the default contiki rule
to make the .$(TARGET) executable."
Prior to this patch, the ieee radio driver did not explicitly abort
the rx operation or power down the analog components of the radio
prior to shutting down the rf-core.
The result of this was that the rf-core continued to use a lot of
power even while "off".
This patch fixes this problem.
Fix for #1229
rf_core_cmd_done_en() was enabling the wrong irq for detecting the
completion of foreground operations. This was causing cc26xx devices
to not wake-up on time when calling lpm_sleep() from transmit().
* The clock interrupt must be scheduled relative to the last interrupt, not relative to the current time (which may have progressed significantly)
* clock_time() must increase continuously, so that code that may be spinning around clock_time() will make progress, not only after each interrupt
Added a mode, configurable by the CONTIKI_WATCHDOG_CONF_LOCK_BETWEEN_USE
macro, which locks the WDT register between uses so as to prevent
any accidental modifications
According to the TRM, the WDT does not produce a reset until it
expires twice. After expiring the WDT will set the INT flag if it
is unset, and reset the MCU if INT is already set.
Before this patch, watchdog_periodic() only un-sets the INT flag. This
means that the behaviour of watchdog_periodic is underministic in that
the value of the countdown timer will be different depending on
when the function was called.
This patch fixes this behaviour by also reloading the timout value.
This commit:
* Moves all cpu files from cpu/cc26xx to cpu/cc26xx-cc13xx
* Bumps the CC26xxware submodule to the latest TI release
* Adds CC13xxware as a submodule
* Adds support for sub-ghz mode / IEEE 802.15.4g
* Splits the driver into multiple files for clarity. We now have the following structure:
* A common module that handles access to the RF core, interrupts etc
* A module that takes care of BLE functionality
* A netstack radio driver for IEEE mode (2.4GHz)
* A netstack radio driver for PROP mode (sub-ghz - multiple bands)
This commit also adds tick suppression functionality, applicable to all chips of the CC26xx and CC13xx families. Instead waking up on every clock tick simply to increment our software counter, we now only wake up just in time to service the next scheduled etimer. ContikiMAC-triggered wakeups are unaffected.
Laslty, this commit also applies a number of minor changes:
* Addition of missing includes
* Removal of stub functions
* Removal of a woraround for a CC26xxware bug that has now been fixed
read_frame was misuing the packet length in the following ways:
- returning non-zero even if buf_len is too short for the packet
- truncating the length to buf_len if len is too long then using the
truncated (i.e. wrong) length to index into the buffer
- memcpying too many bytes (used buf_len instead of real length)
This commit fixes all of this and adds some code to report
on packet length errors (to match with cc2538 driver).
- moved variable declaration to top of function in accordance with the
Contiki style guide
- made function flatter, reduced nesting to improve readability
