* Only enable TX by default.
* Add some magic for RX handling. When an input handler is registered:
* Automatically enable RX-related and interrupts
* Automatically lock the SERIAL PD on under all power modes
* Automatically enable the UART clock under sleep and deep sleep
* Automatically undo all of the above when the input handler becomes NULL
* As a result, modules / examples that need UART RX no longer need to clock the UART and manipulate the SERIAL PD. They simply have to specify an input handler
* Don't automatically power on the UART whenever the CM3 is active
* Before accessing the UART, make sure it is powered and clocked
* Avoid falling edge glitches
* Fix garbage characters / Explicitly wait for UART TX to complete
* Implement new style of PD locks
* Use our own shutdown sequence rather than the one provided by cc26xxware
* Shutdown from within the interrupt that requested it. This allows shutdown to take place even if the code is stuck in a loop somewhere else
* Improve DCDC/GLDO/uLDO switching logic
* Explicitly handle oscillators and retentions
Instead of using a separate data structure to request that a PD remain powered during deep sleep,
we do the same within the main LPM data structure through an additional field.
This allows us to maintain only one linked list of LPM modules and overall improves code clarity
This tutorial was written for the older implementation of CoAP, and
while it may be possible to update it, the directions include URLs and
repos that no longer exist, so it's better to just remove it.
Only the interrupt flags that have been handled must be cleared.
Otherwise, if a new interrupt occurs after the interrupt statuses are
read and before they are cleared, then it is discarded without having
been handled. This issue was particularly likely with two interrupt
trigger conditions occurring on different pins of the same port in a
short period of time.

Power-up interrupts do not always update the regular interrupt status.
Because of that, in order not to miss power-up interrupts, the ISR must
handle both the regular and the power-up interrupt statuses.

Introduce new useful GPIO macros to:
- get the raw interrupt status of a port,
- get the masked interrupt status of a port,
- get the power-up interrupt status of a port.
These macros are cleaner and less error-prone than raw register access
code copied all over the place.

Behave just like the CS8900A driver: Both the CS8900A and the LAN91C96 dynamically share a buffer for received packets and packets to be send. If the chip is exposed to a network with a lot of broadcasts the shared buffer might fill quicker with received packets than the 6502 reads them (via polling). So we might need to drop some received packets in order to be able to send anything at all.
OR-ing an offset to a base address instead of adding it is dangerous
because it can only work if the base address is aligned enough for the
offset.
Moreover, if the base address or the offset has a value unknown at
compile time, then the assembly instructions dedicated to 'base +
offset' addressing on most CPUs can't be emitted by the compiler because
this would require the alignment of the base address against the offset
to be known in order to optimize 'base | offset' into 'base + offset'.
In that case, the compiler has to emit more instructions in order to
compute 'base | offset' on most CPUs, e.g. on ARM, which means larger
binary size and slower execution.
Hence, replace all occurrences of 'base | offset' with 'base + offset'.
This must become a coding rule.
Here are the results for the cc2538-demo example:

Currently there is an linker error when compiling with debug information.
This is only the case for dwarf (the default). Everything is fine with
stabs, thus allowing to debug and use all the other nice tools like
"objdump -S".
Since avr-libc 1.8.0 MCUSR is marked as poison as it was replaced by the
correct name MCUCSR.
Thus code still using the old MCUSR name does not compile anymore.
This commit replaces usages of former MCUSR by its new name MCUCSR and
modifies the alias fallback accordingly.
The border-router tries to transmit and do other stuff after turning
the radio off, and the radio driver didn't handle that very well.
With this fix, it's no longer necessary to reset the border router
after starting tunslip6.
The previous chip detection was inspired by the old IP65 driver code. For some reason it didn't work as expected. The new code is simpler and based on this statement in the chip datasheet: "The upper byte always reads as 33h and can be used to help determine the I/O location of the LAN91C96."
The problem with the current version of the code was that the condition at the end of the do...while loop at Timer A1 interrupt:
while((TACCR1 - TAR) > INTERVAL);
evaluates to false whenever TACCR1 == TAR.
Not incrementing TACCR1 in this case leads to Timer A1 interrupt not being called for 2 seconds, until TAR counter reaches TACCR1 again after an overflow.
The patch avoids this problem by changing the condition of the loop, and using CLOCK_LT macro to compare between time values.
The patch also attempts to fix another problem: a read of TAR register while it is being updated may return a lower value than the actual contents. To avoid that, the "read twice and compare results" idiom should be used. As the TAR register is updated by the actual hardware, it is of no importance whether it is read with interrupts disabled or enabled; the problem can occur in both contexts.
Made Ethernet drivers easier to consume by assembly programs.
* Replaced function pointers with JMP instructions.
* Provide return values additionally via Carry flag.
Reset Ethernet chips on initialization.
Both for the CS8900A and the W5100 the data sheets just say that
the RESET bit is automatically cleared after the RESET. This may
be interpreted in two ways:
1) There's no need to be afraid of reading the RESET bit as 1 and
unintentionally trigger a RESET by writing it back after ORing in
some other bit.
2) The RESET process isn't complete before the RESET bit hasn't
become 0 again.
It's impossible for me to empirically falsify the latter option
as the drivers are supposed to work on faster machines than the
ones I have access to. And if the RESET process includes things
like oscillators then the time to complete the RESET could differ
even between multiple exemplars of the same chip. Therefore I
opted to presume the latter option.
However that means a non-exsistent chip may cause an infinite
loop while waiting for the RESET bit to be cleared so I finally
added code to detect the presence of the Ethernet chips. There's
a risk of a chip being locked up in a way that makes the detection
fail - and therefore the RESET not being performed. This catch-22
needs to be solved by the user doing a hard RESET.
Instead of requiring all calls to `watchdog_start` to be
wrapped inside `#if WATCHDOG_CONF_ENABLE` guards, we control
things from within the WDT driver itself.
This commit also includes some minor documentation and
indentation cleanups
* Decouple 64-bit address from LINKADDR_SIZE
* get and set object from/to the start/end of the src/dest buffer
* We expect size == 8 (rather than size < 8) for both get_ and set_object. Error otherwise
* The RF no longer sets parameters by itself. We let the platform do this, using the extended API.
This avoids the limitation of having a single UART available at runtime, without
duplicating code.

Because the CC2538 has a multi-byte SPI RX FIFO, flushing the buffer
requires more than just a single read. This adds a loop that empties the
entire RX buffer on a FLUSH().
Different SPI chips needs different SPI settings. This commit adds a
function that allows chip drivers to configure the SPI peripheral before
using it.
The frame pin the driver was using as a chip select does not work as
most devices expect it to. It toggles after every byte, and most chips
interpret that as end of message. To make drivers more reliable, each
chip driver should setup a GPIO and assert it as needed.
Contiki sometimes fails to boot correctly and locks up in
random_init()
This problem only manifests itself for specific versions
of the arm-gcc toolchain and then again only for specific
levels of optimisation (-Os vs -O2, depending on the
value of the SMALL make variable)
The lockup is caused when we write an RFCORE XREG before
the RF clock ungating has taken effect, which in turn
only occurs depending on the assembly generated for those
two instructions:
REG(SYS_CTRL_RCGCRFC) = 1;
REG(RFCORE_XREG_FRMCTRL0) = 0x00000008;
This commit makes the RNG wait for the ungating to take
effect before attempting to write the register
The following problems were present in the existing DCO calibration algorithm:
Problem #1. In function msp430_quick_synch_dco(), the "for(i=0; i < 1000; i++) { .. }" loop is optimized away by the compiler, as i is not volatile. Making i volatile would improve the results, but would not be sufficient: see the next point.
Problem #2. According to MSP430F2617 Device Erratasheet, bug BCL12 precludes a naive implementations of "fast" calibration altogether. The bug is present on all MCU revisions up to date.
The description of the bug:
"After switching RSELx bits (located in register BCSCTL1) from a value of >13 to a value of <12 OR from a value of <12 to a value of >13, the resulting clock delivered by the DCO can stop before the new clock frequency is applied. This dead time is approximately 20 us. In some instances, the DCO may completely stop, requiring a power cycle.
Furthermore, if all of the RSELx bits in the BSCTL1 register are set, modifying the DCOCTL register to change the DCOx or the MODx bits could also result in DCO dead time or DCO hang up."
In Contiki code for msp430f2xxx @ 8MHz, the RSEL search currently typically goes from 15 down to 11, thus violating the rules.
Step-by-step RSEL change is proposed as the best possible workaround:
"[..] more reliable method can be implemented by changing the RSEL bits step by step in order to guarantee safe function without any dead time of the DCO."
Problem #3. The old Contiki code started from the highest possible calibration values: RSEL=15, DCOx=7. According to MSP430F2617
datasheet, this means that the DCO frequency is set to 26 MHz. For one, Vcc under 3V is not supported for this frequency, so this means that battery-powered nodes have a big problem. The minimal operating voltages are:
- 1.8V for RSEL <= 13
- 2.2V for RSEL = 14
- 3.0V for RSEL = 15
So the correct way is to always start calibration from RSEL <= 13, unless explicityly pre-calibred values are present.
Problem #4. Timer B should be turned off after the calibration, following the "Principles for Low-Power Applications" in MSP430 user's Guide.
The patch fixes these issues by performing step-by-step calibration and turning off Timer B afterwards. As opposed to MSP430F1xxx calibration, this algorithm does not change the ACLK divider beforehand; attempts to make calibration more precise would lead to looping in some cases, as the calibration step granularity at larger frequencies is quite big.
Additionally, the patch improves DCOSYNCH_CONF_ENABLED behavior, allowing the resynchronization to correct for more than one step.
The CC2538 currently has two addressing options: a hardcoded address set
at compile time or the address stored in primary address section of the
info page. This commit adds the option to choose the secondary location
of the ieee address from the info page, or any memory address.
To use, define `IEEE_ADDR_CONF_USE_SECONDARY_LOCATION` in `project-conf.h`
or similar.
For example:
#define IEEE_ADDR_CONF_USE_SECONDARY_LOCATION 1
Some CFLAGS and LDFLAGS previously only enabled with SMALL=1 have
now been enabled for all builds, regardless of the value of SMALL.
Therefore, from now on, SMALL only chooses between -Os and -O2
As discussed in #503, -Os was broken with one of the toolchains
recommended in the platform's README and for that reason we were
using -O2 by default.
This commit sets the default to -Os and updates the README to no
longer recommend the toolchain in question
lpm.c needs to #include lpm.h in order to get the definition of
lpm_periph_permit_pm1_func_t, which made the replacement macros conflict with
the function definitions for the LPM_CONF_ENABLE == 0 case. This change fixes
this issue by #if-ing out the code in lpm.c in that case. Also, the replacement
macro for lpm_register_peripheral() was missing in that case, which is fixed
here.

If a project needs to use some libraries at link stage, then the corresponding
linker options (e.g. '-lm') have to be passed after any .o file depending on
these libraries. Hence, LDFLAGS cannot be used to add such options when invoking
$(LD) in Makefile.cc2538, or it should be moved to the correct location.
Instead, this change adds TARGET_LIBFILES to the correct location, like most
other Contiki targets.

The leds API did not work in some cases. E.g. with the following sequence:
leds_off(LEDS_ALL);
leds_toggle(LEDS_GREEN);
leds_off(LEDS_ALL);
the green LED was remaining on after the last call.
This was caused by the toggle feature made synonymous with the invert feature,
although it is unrelated. leds_toggle() is indeed supposed to toggle an LED,
while leds_invert() is supposed to change the active level of an LED. However,
all users of leds_invert() actually meant leds_toggle(), and the invert feature
does not make sense in this module because it is not handy due to successive
calls to leds_invert() changing the intended behavior, and hardware active
levels should be managed in leds_arch_set() (e.g. by XORing the passed value
with a hardware-specific constant before setting the output levels of the pins).
Consequently, this change:
- removes the leds_invert() function,
- makes leds_toggle() behave as expected relatively to leds_off() / leds_on(),
- sanitizes the code in the leds module.

Some SoC data requires huge alignments. E.g., the µDMA channel control table has
to be 1024-byte aligned. This table was simply aligned to 1024 bytes in the C
code, which had the following consequences, wasting a lot of RAM:
- As this table could be placed anywhere in .bss, there could be an alignment
gap of up to 1023 bytes between the preceding data and this table.
- The size of this table was also aligned to 1024 bytes, regardless of
UDMA_CONF_MAX_CHANNEL, making this configuration option supposed to save RAM
just useless.
- .bss was also aligned to at least 1024 bytes, creating a huge alignment gap
between .data and .bss.
Instead of relying on the compiler to force this alignment, and on the linker to
automatically place data, this change places carefully such SoC data in RAM
using the linker script. A dedicated section is created to place such SoC data
requiring huge alignments, and it is put at the beginning of the SRAM in order
to ensure a maximal alignment without any gap. In this way, the alignment of
.bss also remains normal, and the size of this table is not constrained by its
alignment, but only by its contents (i.e. by UDMA_CONF_MAX_CHANNEL).
In the case of the µDMA channel control table, the data is still zeroed by
udma_init() (instead of also being zeroed as part of .bss).

Normally, the linker does not sort files and sections matched by wildcards, so
they are placed in the order in which they are seen during link. If numerous
objects with different alignments are mixed, or if objects with unusually large
alignments are present, this very likely leads to a lot of space being wasted
because of accumulated alignment gaps.
This commit forces input sections to be sorted by alignment (unless this is
overridden by the linker script), which decreases the number and the size of
alignment gaps, thus saving space.
For a typical Contiki project, this change saves nearly 1 kiB, mainly in .bss.
Note that this behavior is only enabled if the SMALL make variable is set to 1,
because this makes more sense for a size optimization.

The .nrdata section is volatile, so its initialization must be controlled by the
application, and not be automatically done by the startup code. It should
neither be zeroed like .bss, nor be initialized from data in flash memory like
.data. This was already supposed to be the case, but the output section type of
.nrdata was not set to NOLOAD, causing the generated ELF .nrdata section header
to be of type PROGBITS instead of NOBITS, i.e. load data was generated to be
programmed in RAM, thus producing huge unprogrammable .bin files.
