# Humpback DDS
MQTT-controlled 4-channel DDS signal generator using Urukul, Humpback and STM32 NUCLEO.
- [Continuous Integration](https://nixbld.m-labs.hk/job/mcu/humpback-dds/humpback-dds)
- [Download latest firmware build](https://nixbld.m-labs.hk/job/mcu/humpback-dds/humpback-dds/latest/download-by-type/file/binary-dist)
## Nix commands
Humpback-DDS firmware is packaged using the [Nix](https://nixos.org) Flakes system. Install Nix 2.4+ and enable flakes by adding ``experimental-features = nix-command flakes`` to ``nix.conf`` (e.g. ``~/.config/nix/nix.conf``).
Once you have Flakes enabled, you can use ``nix build`` to build the firmware.
Alternatively, you can develop and build it within Nix shell:
```shell
nix develop
python fpga/fpga_config.py [--eem [0,1,2]]
cargo build --release
```
**(For users who had completed the [networking setup](##networking-setup-for-first-time-user))** Flash firmware onto STM32 NUCLEO-H743ZI2 using OpenOCD.
```shell
openocd -f openocd/openocd.cfg -f openocd/main.cfg
```
**(For users who had completed the [networking setup](##networking-setup-for-first-time-user))** Alternatively, an equivalent Nix command can also do the work.
```shell
openocd-flash
```
## Networking Setup for First-time User
Provide them to setup Humpback-DDS:
- IP Address of Humpback-DDS
- Bit length of the LAN prefix
- MAC Address of Humpback-DDS
- IP Address of MQTT broker
- Device name of Humpback-DDS
Note:
- IP/MAC address of Humpback-DDS should be unique inside a local area network.
- Device name should be unique among all Humpback-DDS connected to the same MQTT broker.
- The MQTT broker must accept TCP connection at port `1883`.
Use the following Nix command.
```shell
openocd-flash-customised <client_cidr_ip_addr> <mac_addr> <broker_addr> "<name>"
```
Parameters:
- client_cidr_ip_addr: IP address for the Humpback-DDS device, in CIDR notation
- mac_addr: MAC address for the Humpback-DDS device
- broker_addr: IP address for the MQTT broker
- name: Device name of the Humpback-DDS
### Example
```shell
openocd-flash-customised 192.168.1.200/24 AC:6F:7A:DE:D6:C8 192.168.1.125 "Urukul"
```
The device will be named `Urukul`.
It has `192.168.1.200` as IPv4 Address, inside a `/24` network, with `AC:6F:7A:DE:D6:C8` as MAC address.
It will connect to a MQTT broker at `192.168.1.125:1883`.
## 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"
```
## 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`

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.
