Chris Ballance ab1735950b fix memory safety issue in ethernet interface (closes #33 ) The CPU is allowed to access normal memory writes out-of-order. Here the write to the OWN flag in the DMA descriptor (normal memory) was placed after the DMA tail pointer advance (in device memory, so not reorderable). This meant the ethernet DMA engine stalled as it saw a descriptor it did not own, and only restarted and sent the packet when the next packet was released. This fix will work as long as the CPU data cache is disabled. If we want to enable the cache, the simplest method would be to mark SRAM3 as uncacheable via the MPU.		2019-11-16 03:25:42 +00:00

Minimal bootstrapping documentation

Clone or download this
Get rustup
rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf
cargo build --release
Do not try the debug (default) mode. It is guaranteed to panic.

Using GDB/OpenOCD

Get a recent openocd, a JTAG adapter ("st-link" or some clone) and everything connected and permissions setup. Most Nucleo boards have a detachable ST-Link v2 and are cheap.¹
Get a multiarch gdb (or a cross arm gdb and edit .cargo/config accordingly)
openocd -f stabilizer.cfg and leave it running
cargo run --release

Using USB-DFU

Install the DFU USB tool (dfu-util)
Connect to the Micro USB connector below the RJ45
Short JC2/BOOT
cargo objcopy --release --bin stabilizer -- -O binary stabilizer.bin or arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/release/stabilizer stabilizer.bin
dfu-util -a 0 -s 0x08000000:leave -D stabilizer.bin

Using ST-Link virtual mass storage

cargo objcopy --release --bin stabilizer -- -O binary stabilizer.bin or arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/release/stabilizer stabilizer.bin
Connect the ST-Link debugger
copy stabilizer.bin to the NODE_H743ZI USB disk

Protocol

Stabilizer can be configured via newline-delimited JSON over TCP. It listens on port 1235. stabilizer.py contains a reference implementation of the protocol.

Build a cable: connect a standard 8 conductor ribbon with the wires numbered 1-8 to the pins on the St-Link v2 single row 2.54mm connector as 647513(82) ((i) marks an unused wire) and to the 1.27mm dual row on Stabilizer as 657483x2x1 (x marks an unused pin, enumeration is standard for dual row, as in the schematic). It's just folding the ribbon between wires 5 and 6. The signals on the ribbon are then NRST,TDI,TDO,TCK,TMS,3V3,GND,GND. ↩︎
