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.
```
When sending a command to the CC13xx/CC25xx RF core, we wait for command completion by checking the LSB of CMDSTA (correctly so). However, in doing so we also zero out the 3 CMDSTA return bytes. For some commands, those bytes contain useful information (e.g. an RSSI value) and are required by the caller.
This problem manifests itself e.g. in PROP mode `channel_clear()`, whereby the caller will always see an RSSI value of 0.
This pull therefore fixes the logic in `rf_core_send_cmd()` to check for command completion by blocking on the CMDSTA result byte without zeroing out the 3 return bytes.
Fixes#1465
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
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
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
