CB3.0 F100 - I2C issues

[Giovanni]

All the F1-specific drivers are still untested, it is possible there are problems originated during the porting.

I have still to run the applications under ./testhal/STM32F1xx so be careful.

Hi,

I fixed a problem that could have caused that panic, could you give it another try?

Giovanni

[Giovanni]

Also fixed another problem in the DMA handler affecting all drivers using DMA.

Everything should be OK now.

It started to work somehow, but:
1. when I2C stuff enabled it crashes in an unhandled exception (I will investigate)
2. getting compile error: 'RDY_OK' undeclared here (not in a function)
usually returned by i2cMasterTransmitTimeout() - is being lost somewhere, so I have to def it in my source as 0
3. even set #define CH_CFG_ST_RESOLUTION 32
the chVTGetSystemTimeX(); counts 16bit.. chTimeNow() worked fine 32bit
4. what is the meaning of:
#define CH_CFG_RTC_FREQUENCY 72000000
plz?

[Giovanni]

RDY_OK has been renamed to MSG_OK, CH_CFG_RTC_FREQUENCY is the frequency of the realtime counter on the F4 it should be 168000000 but it is not really important unless using the RTC-related time conversion macros.

I have a task, which does:

Code: Select all

static THD_WORKING_AREA (waThread1, 128);
static THD_FUNCTION (Thread1, arg) {

  (void)arg;
  chRegSetThreadName("counter");

  // Time for next read.
  systime_t wakeTime = chVTGetSystemTimeX();

  while (TRUE) {
    wakeTime += 10;
    chThdSleepUntil(wakeTime);
    seconds_counter++;
    chtime1 = chVTGetSystemTimeX();
  }
}

Even I set

Code: Select all

 #define CH_CFG_ST_RESOLUTION 32

after reaching chtime1 ~65000 the seconds_counter and chtime1 show 6534 and 4..
I suspect something weird with chVTGetSystemTimeX() or with systime_t size. The variant with chTimeNow() worked fine..
PS: seconds_counter counts 100/second, but that is not important here..

[Giovanni]

chVTGetSystemTimeX() is exactly chTimeNow(). The counter cannot be 32bits because the tickless mode uses TIM2 and TIM2 is 16 bits on the STM32F1 (it should give you a compile error however).

If you need a 32 bits counter then disable the tickless mode or use another STM32.

Giovanni

[pito]

Ah, yea, tickless mode requires a hw counter.. thanks.
The next step is the I2c..

Code: Select all

 osalDbgCheck((i2cp != NULL) &&
               (clock_speed > 0) &&
               (clock_speed <= 4000000));  <<<< Typo

Including the following code into my source causes the system halts around i2cstart (it works in trunk).. If somebody may see an issue below, give me a hint , plz

Code: Select all

..
#include "chTinyRTC8563.h"
..
static const I2CConfig i2cfg1 = {OPMODE_I2C, 400000, FAST_DUTY_CYCLE_16_9};   //40Mhz clock
..
main:
..
  /* Starts I2C1  PB6=SCL PB7=SDA */
  palSetPadMode(GPIOB, 6, PAL_MODE_STM32_ALTERNATE_OPENDRAIN);
  palSetPadMode(GPIOB, 7, PAL_MODE_STM32_ALTERNATE_OPENDRAIN);

  i2cStart(&I2CD1, &i2cfg1);     <<<<<<<<<<

  if (RTC_PCF8563_isrunning()) {
..
