## Nix commands
Open nix shell before anything.
```bash
Start nix shell before anything.
```shell
nix-shell
```
Start OpenOCD server in unblocking mode.
```bash
run-openocd
Flash firmware onto STM32 NUCLEO-H743ZI2 using OpenOCD.
```shell
openocd -f openocd/openocd.cfg -f openocd/main.cfg
```
Start OpenOCD server in blocking mode, for console print through semihosting.
```bash
run-openocd-block
Alternatively, an equivalent Nix command can also do the work
```shell
openocd-flash main
```
Reset STM32 flash before flashing bitstream for Humpback FPGA.
```bash
reset-flash
## Networking Setup
At the moment, both IP addresses of the STM32 board and MQTT broker are hardcoded.
MAC address of the STM32 board is also hardcoded.
### STM32 IP Address
IP address is hardcoded in the file `src/main.rs`, line 171.
```rust
store.ip_addrs[0] = net::wire::IpCidr::new(net::wire::IpAddress::v4(192, 168, 1, 200), 24);
```
The IP address shown above corresponds to `192.168.1.200`, in a `/24` address block.
Modify this line to the change the IP address of STM32 board.
### STM32 MAC Address
IP address is hardcoded in the file `src/main.rs`, line 156.
```rust
let mac_addr = net::wire::EthernetAddress([0xAC, 0x6F, 0x7A, 0xDE, 0xD6, 0xC8]);
```
The MAC address shown above corresponds to `AC::6F::7A::DE::D6::C8`.
Modify this line to the change the MAC address of STM32 board.
### Broker IP Address
IP address is hardcoded in the file `src/main.rs`, line 241.
```rust
IpAddr::V4(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 168, 1, 125)),
```
This program will try attempt to connect to `192.168.1.125:1883`.
Modify this line to the change the IP address of MQTT broker.
Note that the broker must accept TCP connection at `port 1883`.
## MQTT Broker
Mosquitto is within the Nix package.
Starting a Mosquitto MQTT broker can be as simple as the following line.
```shell
mosquitto
```
The MQTT broker will be started locally, at port 1883.
To enable feedback from the device, subscribe to all subtopics under `Urukul/Feedback` on a separate terminal.
```shell
mosquitto_sub -h <broker ip address> -t Urukul/Feedback/#
```
Note that subscription to the feedback topic is completely optional.
## Publishing MQTT messages through Mosquitto
Controlling Humpback-DDS can be achieved by sending specific MQTT commands through Mosquitto. The device will listen to all publishes that are under the `Urukul/Control` or `/Urukul/Control` topic. A MQTT message can be published by the following command.
```shell
mosquitto_pub -h <broker ip address> -t <topic> -m <message>
```
For example, to publish a local MQTT broker, with the topic of `Foo/Bar` and `Baz` as the message, enter this command.
```shell
mosquitto_pub -h localhost -t Foo/Bar -m "Baz"
```
Note that MQTT topics are case-sensitive.
Alternatively, the following nix command provided by the shell simplify the syntax.
```shell
publish-mqtt <topic> <message>
```
This will send the MQTT message to a local MQTT broker at port 1883, with specified topic and message. The example above can be simplified into:
```shell
publish-mqtt Foo/Bar "baz"
```
Load bitstream to Humpback FPGA.
```bash
configure-fpga
```

## Reset the device
- Topic: `Urukul/Control/Reset`
- Message: (Don't care)
Run a Ethernet server with TCP socket examples.
```bash
run-ethernet-server
The `Reset` command resets the device. The effects are:
- Turn off all RF switches.
- Set attenuations to be 31.5 dB for all attenuators.
- Set Urukul clock source to be the internal oscillator, with 100MHz.
- Set Urukul clock divider to 4.
- Reset all 4 DDS chips.
### Example
```shell
publish-mqtt Urukul/Control/Reset
```
This resets the device.
Select a different gdb config file from ```gdb_config``` directory.
```bash
set-gdb-config-file <filename>
## RF Switch
- Topic: `Urukul/Control/Channel<ch_num>/Switch`
