Humpback DDS

RF signal generator using Urukul, Humpback and STM32 NUCLEO-H743ZI2

Nix commands

Start nix shell before anything.

nix-shell

Flash firmware onto STM32 NUCLEO-H743ZI2 using OpenOCD.

openocd -f openocd/openocd.cfg -f openocd/main.cfg

Alternatively, an equivalent Nix command can also do the work

openocd-flash main

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.

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.

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.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

publish-mqtt Foo/Bar "baz"

List of Commands

All currently supported commands are listed below.
Note: The following table only lists the subtopic. To make a full topic, add Urukul/Control/ in front of all subtopics.

Reset the device

  • Topic: Urukul/Control/Reset
  • Message: (Don't care)

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

publish-mqtt Urukul/Control/Reset

This resets the device.

RF Switch

  • Topic: Urukul/Control/Channel<ch_num>/Switch
    • ch_num: The channel number, from 0 to 3.
  • Message: <off/on>

This command turns off/on an RF switch of a channel.

Example

publish-mqtt Urukul/Control/Channel0/Switch "on"

This turns on the channel 0 RF switch.

Attenuator

  • Topic: Urukul/Control/Channel<ch_num>/Attenuator
    • ch_num: The channel number, from 0 to 3.
  • Message: <atten> [dB]
    • atten: Attenuation of the attenuator of the specified channel. The unit dB is optional. Valid attenuation is within [0, 31.5] (inclusive) in decibel.
