HY-MiniSTM32V
This page discusses issues unique to NuttX configurations for the HY-MiniSTM32V development board.
ST Bootloader
A bootloader code is available in an internal boot ROM memory (called ‘system memory’ in STM documentation) in all STM32 MCUs. For the F103xx this bootloader can be used to upload & flash a firmware image through the USART1.
Notes:
The bootloader is activated by the BOOT0 / BOOT1 pins after a MCU reset. See STM application note 2606 for more details.
On the hymini-stm32 board the USART1 is connected to a PL2303 USB<->serial converter.
To enter bootloader mode in the hymini-stm32 board:
Press the ‘boot0’ button (located next to ‘reset’ button)
While boot0 button is pressed, reset the board through the reset button.
Once you pressed / released the ‘reset’ button, the MCU has (re)started in bootloader mode (and you can then release the boot0 button).
A flash utility must be used on your development workstation to upload / flash a firmware image. (The ‘stm32flash’ open source tool, available at http://stm32flash.googlecode.com/ has been used successfully).
LEDs
The HY-MiniSTM32 board provides only two controllable LEDs labeled LED1 and LED2. Usage of these LEDs is defined in include/board.h and src/up_leds.c. They are encoded as follows:
=================== ======================= ======= =======
SYMBOL Meaning LED1* LED2
=================== ======================= ======= =======
LED_STARTED NuttX has been started OFF OFF
LED_HEAPALLOCATE Heap has been allocated ON OFF
LED_IRQSENABLED Interrupts enabled OFF ON
LED_STACKCREATED Idle stack created ON OFF
LED_INIRQ In an interrupt** OFF N/C
LED_SIGNAL In a signal handler*** N/C ON
LED_ASSERTION An assertion failed ON ON
LED_PANIC The system has crashed BLINK BLINK
LED_IDLE STM32 is is sleep mode (Optional, not used)
=================== ======================= ======= =======
* If NuttX starts correctly, normal state is to have LED1 on and LED2 off.
** LED1 is turned off during interrupt.
*** LED2 is turned on during signal handler.
RTC
The STM32 RTC may configured using the following settings.:
CONFIG_RTC - Enables general support for a hardware RTC. Specific
architectures may require other specific settings.
CONFIG_RTC_HIRES - The typical RTC keeps time to resolution of 1
second, usually supporting a 32-bit time_t value. In this case,
the RTC is used to "seed" the normal NuttX timer and the
NuttX timer provides for higher resolution time. If CONFIG_RTC_HIRES
is enabled in the NuttX configuration, then the RTC provides higher
resolution time and completely replaces the system timer for purpose of
date and time.
CONFIG_RTC_FREQUENCY - If CONFIG_RTC_HIRES is defined, then the
frequency of the high resolution RTC must be provided. If CONFIG_RTC_HIRES
is not defined, CONFIG_RTC_FREQUENCY is assumed to be one.
CONFIG_RTC_ALARM - Enable if the RTC hardware supports setting of an alarm.
A callback function will be executed when the alarm goes off
In hi-res mode, the STM32 RTC operates only at 16384Hz. Overflow interrupts are handled when the 32-bit RTC counter overflows every 3 days and 43 minutes. A BKP register is incremented on each overflow interrupt creating, effectively, a 48-bit RTC counter.
In the lo-res mode, the RTC operates at 1Hz. Overflow interrupts are not handled (because the next overflow is not expected until the year 2106.
WARNING: Overflow interrupts are lost whenever the STM32 is powered down. The overflow interrupt may be lost even if the STM32 is powered down only momentarily. Therefore hi-res solution is only useful in systems where the power is always on.

Timer and I2C devices may need to the following to force power to be applied
unconditionally at power up. (Otherwise, the device is powered when it is
initialized).
CONFIG_STM32_FORCEPOWER
The Timer3 alternate mapping is required for PWM control of LCD backlight
CONFIG_STM32_TIM3_PARTIAL_REMAP=y
Timer devices may be used for different purposes. One special purpose is
to generate modulated outputs for such things as motor control. If CONFIG_STM32_TIMn
is defined (as above) then the following may also be defined to indicate that
the timer is intended to be used for pulsed output modulation, ADC conversion,
or DAC conversion. Note that ADC/DAC require two definition: Not only do you have
to assign the timer (n) for used by the ADC or DAC, but then you also have to
configure which ADC or DAC (m) it is assigned to.
CONFIG_STM32_TIMn_PWM Reserve timer n for use by PWM, n=1,..,8

Configurations
NOTES:
All configurations described below are using the mconf-based configuration tool. To change their configuration using that tool, you should:
Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool. See nuttx/README.txt see additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.
Execute ‘make menuconfig’ in nuttx/ in order to start the reconfiguration process.
All configurations use a generic GNU EABI toolchain for Linux by default.
They are all configured to generate a binary image that can be flashed through the STM32 internal bootloader.
Each HY-MiniSTM32V configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and can be selected as follow:
tools/configure.sh hymini-stm32v:<subdir>
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
nsh and nsh2
Configure the NuttShell (nsh) located at examples/nsh.
Differences between the two NSH configurations:
=========== ======================= ================================

(1) You will probably need to the PATH environment variable to set
up the correct PATH variable for whichever toolchain you may use.
(2) When any other device other than /dev/console is used for a user
interface, (1) linefeeds (\n) will not be expanded to carriage return
/ linefeeds \r\n). You will need to configure your terminal program
to account for this. And (2) input is not automatically echoed so
you will have to turn local echo on.
(3) Microsoft holds several patents related to the design of
long file names in the FAT file system. Please refer to the
details in the top-level NOTICE file. Please do not use FAT
long file name unless you are familiar with these patent issues.
(4) When built as an NSH add-on command (CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y),
Caution should be used to assure that the SD drive is not in use when
the USB storage device is configured. Specifically, the SD driver
should be unmounted like::
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/sdcard # Card is mounted in NSH
...
nsh> umount /mnd/sdcard # Unmount before connecting USB!!!
nsh> msconn # Connect the USB storage device
...
nsh> msdis # Disconnect USB storate device
nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /mnt/sdcard # Restore the mount
Failure to do this could result in corruption of the SD card format.
(5) Option CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT must be enabled in order to call the SDIO slot
initialization code.
usbmsc
This configuration directory exercises the USB mass storage class driver at system/usbmsc. See examples/README.txt for more information.
usbnsh
This is another NSH example. If differs from other ‘nsh’ configurations in that this configurations uses a USB serial device for console I/O.
NOTES:
This configuration does have UART2 output enabled and set up as the system logging device:
CONFIG_SYSLOG_CHAR=y : Use a character device for system logging CONFIG_SYSLOG_DEVPATH="/dev/ttyS0" : UART2 will be /dev/ttyS0
However, there is nothing to generate SYSLOG output in the default configuration so nothing should appear on UART2 unless you enable some debug output or enable the USB monitor.
Enabling USB monitor SYSLOG output. If tracing is enabled, the USB device will save encoded trace output in in-memory buffer; if the USB monitor is enabled, that trace buffer will be periodically emptied and dumped to the system logging device (UART2 in this configuration):
CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE=y : Enable USB trace feature CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE_NRECORDS=128 : Buffer 128 records in memory CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_TRACE=n : No builtin tracing from NSH CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT=y : Automatically start the USB monitor CONFIG_USBMONITOR=y : Enable the USB monitor daemon CONFIG_USBMONITOR_STACKSIZE=2048 : USB monitor daemon stack size CONFIG_USBMONITOR_PRIORITY=50 : USB monitor daemon priority CONFIG_USBMONITOR_INTERVAL=2 : Dump trace data every 2 seconds CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACEINIT=y : Enable TRACE output CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACECLASS=y CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACETRANSFERS=y CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACECONTROLLER=y CONFIG_USBMONITOR_TRACEINTERRUPTS=y Using the Prolifics PL2303 Emulation ------------------------------------ You could also use the non-standard PL2303 serial device instead of the standard CDC/ACM serial device by changing:: CONFIG_CDCACM=y : Disable the CDC/ACM serial device class CONFIG_CDCACM_CONSOLE=y : The CDC/ACM serial device is NOT the console CONFIG_PL2303=y : The Prolifics PL2303 emulation is enabled CONFIG_PL2303_CONSOLE=y : The PL2303 serial device is the console
usbserial
This configuration directory exercises the USB serial class driver at examples/usbserial. See examples/README.txt for more information.:
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y : Linux host
CONFIG_ARM_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_EABI=y : GNU EABI toolchain for Linux

-CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES=n
-CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n
-CONFIG_DEBUG_USB=n
+CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES=y
+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
+CONFIG_DEBUG_USB=y

By default, the usbserial example uses the Prolific PL2303 serial/USB converter emulation. The example can be modified serial/USB converter emulation. The example can be modified to use the CDC/ACM serial class by making the following changes to the configuration file:
-CONFIG_PL2303=y
+CONFIG_PL2303=n
-CONFIG_CDCACM=n
+CONFIG_CDCACM=y
