Toolchains
==========

  MPLAB/C32
  ---------

  I am using the free, "Lite" version of the PIC32MX toolchain available
  for download from the microchip.com web site.  I am using the Windows
  version.  The MicroChip toolchain is the only toolchain currently
  supported in these configurations, but it should be a simple matter to
  adapt to other toolchains by modifying the Make.defs file include in
  each configuration.

  C32 Toolchain Options:

    CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_MICROCHIPW      - MicroChip full toolchain for Windows
    CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_MICROCHIPL      - MicroChip full toolchain for Linux
    CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_MICROCHIPW_LITE - MicroChip "Lite" toolchain for Windows
    CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_MICROCHIPL_LITE - MicroChip "Lite" toolchain for Linux
    CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_PINGUINOL       - Pinquino toolchain for Linux
    CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_PINGUINOW       - Pinquino toolchain for Windows
    CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_MICROCHIPOPENL  - Microchip open toolchain for Linux
    CONFIG_MIPS32_TOOLCHAIN_GNU_ELF         - General mips-elf toolchain for Linux

  NOTE:  The "Lite" versions of the toolchain does not support C++.  Also
  certain optimization levels are not supported by the "Lite" toolchain.

  MicrochipOpen
  -------------

  An alternative, build-it-yourself toolchain is available here:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/microchipopen/ .  These tools were
  last updated circa 2010.  NOTE:  C++ support still not available
  in this toolchain.

  Building MicrochipOpen (on Linux)

  1) Get the build script from this location:

      http://microchipopen.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/microchipopen/ccompiler4pic32/buildscripts/trunk/

  2) Build the code using the build script, for example:

      ./build.sh -b v105_freeze

     This will check out the selected branch and build the tools.

  3) Binaries will then be available in a subdirectory with a name something like
     pic32-v105-freeze-20120622/install-image/bin (depending on the current data
     and the branch that you selected.

     Note that the tools will have the prefix, mypic32- so, for example, the
     compiler will be called mypic32-gcc.

  Pinguino mips-elf Toolchain
  ---------------------------

  Another option is the mips-elf toolchain used with the Pinguino project.  This
  is a relatively current mips-elf GCC and should provide free C++ support as
  well. This toolchain can be downloaded from the Pinguino website:
  http://wiki.pinguino.cc/index.php/Main_Page#Download .

  See also boards/mirtoo/README.txt.  There is an experimental (untested)
  configuration for the Mirtoo platform in that directory.

  MPLAB/C32 vs MPLABX/X32
  -----------------------

  It appears that Microchip is phasing out the MPLAB/C32 toolchain and replacing
  it with MPLABX and XC32.  At present, the XC32 toolchain is *not* compatible
  with the NuttX build scripts.  Here are some of the issues that I see when trying
  to build with XC32:

  1) Make.def changes:  You have to change the tool prefix:

     CROSSDEV=xc32-

  2) debug.ld/release.ld:  The like expect some things that are not present in
     the current linker scripts (or are expected with different names).  Here
     are some partial fixes:

     Rename:  kseg0_progmem to kseg0_program_mem
     Rename:  kseg1_datamem to kseg1_data_mem

  Even then, there are more warnings from the linker and some undefined symbols
  for non-NuttX code that resides in the unused Microchip libraries.  You will
  have to solve at least this undefined symbol problem if you want to used the
  XC32 toolchain.

  Windows Native Toolchains
  -------------------------

  NOTE:  There are several limitations to using a Windows based toolchain in a
  Cygwin environment.  The three biggest are:

  1. The Windows toolchain cannot follow Cygwin paths.  Path conversions are
     performed automatically in the Cygwin makefiles using the 'cygpath' utility
     but you might easily find some new path problems.  If so, check out 'cygpath -w'

  2. Windows toolchains cannot follow Cygwin symbolic links.  Many symbolic links
     are used in NuttX (e.g., include/arch).  The make system works around these
     problems for the Windows tools by copying directories instead of linking them.
     But this can also cause some confusion for you:  For example, you may edit
     a file in a "linked" directory and find that your changes had no effect.
     That is because you are building the copy of the file in the "fake" symbolic
     directory.  If you use a Windows toolchain, you should get in the habit of
     making like this:

       make clean_context all

     An alias in your .bashrc file might make that less painful.

Powering the Board
==================

  Ethernet Starter Kit:

    There are two ways to supply power to the PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit:

      - USB bus power connected to USB debug connector J1.
      - An external application board with a regulated DC power supply that
        provides +5V can be connected to the J2 application board connector
        that is provided on the bottom side of the board.

    One green LED (D3) is provided to show that the PIC32 microcontroller
    is powered up.

  Ethernet Starter Kit with MEB:

    Power can be supplied to the Multimedia Expansion Board through the DC
    connector located on the Multimedia Expansion Board... By connecting
    9-14V power supply to the DC connector, the Multimedia Expansion Board
    and starter kit will receive the proper voltages. The user can also
    supply power via the starter kit. However, if the application uses
    multiple features of the Multimedia Expansion Board, it is recommended
    to use 9-14V power supply."

On Board Debug Support
======================

  The PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit includes a PIC32MX440F512H USB microcontroller
  that provides debugger connectivity over USB. The PIC32MX440F512H is hard-wired
  to the PIC32 device to provide two types of protocol translation:

    - I/O pins of PIC32MX440F512H to the ICSP™ pins of the PIC32
    - I/O pins of PIC32MX440F512H to the JTAG pins of the PIC32

  The PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit currently uses the JTAG pins of the PIC32 device for
  programming and debugging.

Creating Compatible NuttX HEX files
===================================

  Intel Hex Format Files:
  -----------------------

    When NuttX is built it will produce two files in the top-level NuttX
    directory:

    1) nuttx - This is an ELF file, and
    2) nuttx.hex - This is an Intel Hex format file.  This is controlled by
       the setting CONFIG_INTELHEX_BINARY in the .config file.

    The PICkit tool wants an Intel Hex format file to burn into FLASH. However,
    there is a problem with the generated nutt.hex: The tool expects the nuttx.hex
    file to contain physical addresses.  But the nuttx.hex file generated from the
    top-level make will have address in the KSEG0 and KSEG1 regions.

  tools/pic32/mkpichex:
  ----------------------

    There is a simple tool in the NuttX tools/pic32 directory that can be
    used to solve both issues with the nuttx.hex file.  But, first, you must
    build the tool:

      cd tools/pic32
      make -f Makefile.host

    Now you will have an executable file call mkpichex (or mkpichex.exe on
    Cygwin).  This program will take the nutt.hex file as an input, it will
    convert all of the KSEG0 and KSEG1 addresses to physical address, and
    it will write the modified file, replacing the original nuttx.hex.

    To use this file, you need to do the following things:

      export PATH=???  # Add the NuttX tools/pic32 directory to your
                       # PATH variable
      make             # Build nuttx and nuttx.hex
      mkpichex $PWD    #  Convert addresses in nuttx.hex.  $PWD is the path
                       # to the top-level build directory.  It is the only
                       # required input to mkpichex.

      This procedure is automatically performed at the end of a build.

Serial Console: MEB
===================

 [[Warning:  This all sounds great, but the fact is that I have not yet
   gotten any serial UART output to work from the MEB.]]

  A serial console is not required to use NuttX.  However, all of the
  NuttX example code in the apps/examples assumes that you have a
  serial console.  The Ethernet Starter Kit(even with the MEB) does not
  have any RS-232 connector needed to drive the serial console.

  Raw UART signals are available at the MEB's PICtail connector, however,
  and can be connected to an external MAX2232 board to get a serial console.
  The defconfig files are set up to use UART2.  So the proper connections
  would be:

  PICtail
  PIN      FUNCTION
  -------- -----------
      1    3.3V
     16    U2RX
     18    U2TX
     28    GND

  UART1 is also brought out on the PICtail and would be connected as:

  PICtail
  PIN      FUNCTION
  -------- -----------
      1    3.3V
     15    U1RX
     17    U1TX
     28    GND

  Here is a summary of the tortuous routes taken by the PIC32MX UART pins:

  J2 is the connector at the bottom of the Ethernet start kit that
  mates the Ethernet Starter kit to the MEB.  The MEB then makes the
  following signals available on the PICtail (J5):

  The pins are labeled differently in Table 2-1 and in the schematic.  This is
  confusing.  I will trust Table 2-1.

LEDs
====

  The PIC32MX Ethernet Starter kit has 3 user LEDs labeled LED1-3 on the
  board graphics (but referred to as LED4-6 in the schematic):

  PIN  User's Guide   Board Stencil   Notes
  ---  -------------  --------------  -------------------------
  RD0  "User LED D4"  "LED1 (RD0")    High illuminates (RED)
  RD2  "User LED D5"  "LED3 (RD2)"    High illuminates (YELLOW)
  RD1  "User LED D6"  "LED2 (RD1)"    High illuminates (GREEN)

  We will use the labels on the board to identify LEDs.  If CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS
  is defined, then NuttX will control these LEDs as follows:

                            ON                  OFF

  PIC32MXx USB Device Configuration

  PIC32MXx USB Host Configuration (the PIC32MX does not support USB Host)

Configurations
==============

Each PIC32MX configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and can be
selected as follow:

    tools/configure.sh pic32mx-starterkit:<subdir>

Where <subdir> is one of the following:

  nsh:

    This is the NuttShell (NSH) using the NSH startup logic at
    apps/examples/nsh.

    NOTES:

    1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
       change this configurations using that tool, you should:

       a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool.  See nuttx/README.txt
          see additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.

       b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
          reconfiguration process.

    2. Serial Output

       The OS test produces all of its test output on the serial console.
       This configuration has UART1 enabled as a serial console.  I have
       been unable to get this UART work on the MEB.  But on the Expansion
       I/O board, this maps to RX = J11 pin 41 and TX = J11 pin 43

    3. SB Configurations

       Several USB device configurations can be enabled and included
       as NSH built-in built in functions.

       To use USB device, connect the starter kit to the host using a cable
       with a Type-B micro-plug to the starter kit's micro-A/B port J5, located
       on the bottom side of the starter kit. The other end of the cable
       must have a Type-A plug. Connect it to a USB host. Jumper JP2 should be
       removed.

       All USB device configurations require the following basic setup in
       your NuttX configuration file to enable USB device support:

         CONFIG_USBDEV=y         : Enable basic USB device support
         CONFIG_PIC32MX_USBDEV=y : Enable PIC32 USB device support

       system/cdcacm -  The system/cdcacm program can be included by
       adding the following to the configuration file:

         CONFIG_CDCACM=y         : Enable the CDCACM device
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_CDCACM=y

    3. Networking Configurations

       Several Networking configurations can be enabled and included
       as NSH built-in built in functions.  The following additional
       configuration settings are required:

         CONFIG_NET=y              : Enable networking support
         CONFIG_PIC32MX_ETHERNET=y : Enable the PIC32 Ethernet driver
         CONFIG_NSH_TELNET=y       : Enable the Telnet NSH console (optional)

       NOTES:

       a. This logic will assume that a network is connected.  During its
          initialization, it will try to negotiate the link speed.  If you have
          no network connected when you reset the board, there will be a long
          delay (maybe 30 seconds?) before anything happens.  That is the timeout
          before the networking finally gives up and decides that no network is
          available.

       b. This example can support an FTP client.  In order to build in FTP client
          support simply add the following to the NuttX configuration file:

         CONFIG_NETUTILS_FTPC=y
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPC=y

       c. This example can support an FTP server.  In order to build in FTP server
          support simply add the following to the NuttX configuration file:

         CONFIG_NETUTILS_FTPD=y
         CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPD=y

  nsh2:

    This is an alternative NSH configuration.  Without the Expansion I/O board,
    there is no way to connect a serial console.  This NSH alternative supports
    only a Telnet console.  The nsh2 differs from the nsh configuration in the
    following ways:

    NOTES:

    1. Networking is enabled:

       CONFIG_NET=y                : Enable networking support
       CONFIG_PIC32MX_ETHERNET=y   : Enable the PIC32 Ethernet driver
       CONFIG_NSH_CONSOLE=n        : Disable NSH serial console
       CONFIG_NSH_TELNET=y         : Enable the Telnet NSH console

       See apps/nshlib/README.txt for other NSH networking-related configuration
       settings.

    2. UART1 is disabled

      CONFIG_PIC32MX_UART1=n        : UART1 is disabled (as well as other UARTs)
      CONFIG_UART1_SERIAL_CONSOLE=n : There is no serial console

    3. The RAM log is enabled"

      CONFIG_RAMLOG=y             : Enable the RAM-based logging feature.
      CONFIG_RAMLOG_SYSLOG=y      : This enables the RAM-based logger as the
                                    system logger.

      Logging is currently set up to use 16Kb of memory:

      CONFIG_RAMLOG_BUFSIZE=16384

    There are a few other configuration differences as necessary to support
    this different device configuration. Just the do the 'diff' if you are
    curious.

    NOTES:
      See the notes for the nsh configuration.  Most also apply to the nsh2
      configuration.

  Using a RAM disk and the USB MSC device with nsh and nsh2
  ---------------------------------------------------------
  Here is an experimental change to either examples/nsh or examples/nsh2
  that will create a RAM disk and attempt to export that RAM disk as a
  USB mass storage device.

  1. Changes to nuttx/.config

    a) Enable support for the PIC32 USB device

      -CONFIG_PIC32MX_USBDEV=n
      +CONFIG_PIC32MX_USBDEV=y

    b) Enable NuttX USB device support

      -CONFIG_USBDEV=n
      +CONFIG_USBDEV=y

    c) Enable the USB MSC class driver

      -CONFIG_USBMSC=n
      +CONFIG_USBMSC=y

    d) Use a RAM disk (instead of an SD card) as the USB MSC logical unit:

      -CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMSC_DEVPATH1="/dev/mmcsd0"
      +CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMSC_DEVPATH1="/dev/ram0"

    e) Enable building of the system/usbmsc:

      +CONFIG_SYSTEM_USBMSC=y

  3. When NSH first comes up, you must manually create the RAM disk
     before exporting it:

    a) Create a 64Kb RAM disk at /dev/ram0:

      nsh> mkrd -s 512 128

    b) Put a FAT file system on the RAM disk:

      nsh> mkfatfs /dev/ram0

    b) Now the 'msconn' command will connect to the host and
       export /dev/ram0 as the USB logical unit:

      nsh> msconn

    NOTE:  This modification should be considered experimental.  IN the
    little testing I have done with it, it appears functional.  But the
    logic has not been stressed and there could still be lurking issues.
    (There is a bug associated with this configuration listed in the
    top-level TODO list).
