It was tested being merged with OP-472_CorvusCorax_CopterControl-Guidance_v3
branch, Spektrum on USART3 and GPS on USART1 and seems to work.
Currently defaults mimic original behavior, that is, if USE_SPEKTRUM
is not defined - define USE_PWM and USE_GPS. Thsi should be refactored
later to make it configurable from the Makefile.
Also it was not ported to the OP MB: it currently does not support the
S.Bus hardware and still has original behavior with the patch. But this
is one more step to dynamic configuration of ports.
CAREFULL: the heap section need to be the last section in RAM to avoid overwritting data...
Tested with GCC 4.5.2 this gives 1K of free bytes usable in heap right away (including the 200 bytes saved just by using the new gcc).
This does not include any code re-org yet!
I managed to test CC with heap2 changes and the init stack claimed back to heap once scheduler starts.
the changes of this commit are OP related (just cleanup on CC side):
Arch specific stuff (in reset vector) to hide this from portable code:
- switch back to MSP stack before starting the scheduler so that the sheduler can use the IRQ stack (when/if needed).
- call the C portable function in heap2 to claim some stack back (the number to claim is taken from linker file).
- start the scheduler from reset vector (I move this here from main because it make sense to not go back to C (so that I don't need to copy the rolled stack in case the sheduler returns). This make it more clean.
- Also I have added the call to the mem manager if sheduler return. that way, we don't reset indefinitely if memory runs out. We will go to this handler and figure things out (right now, it's just looping but at least not rebooting. Probably trap NMI would be better (later improvement).

The part missing for this part is the weak attribute for the function in heap1.c so that we don't have to update everything with empty stub.
I think the weak atrribute for C function called in assembly is arch dependent so I am not sure if this is possible (will look into it, maybe somebody outthere nows).
Right now, it's heap1 dependent and won't work with heap2. I will clean that up the next couple of days.
I did some test and it looks good.
this is without init code re-organization so we don't free as much as we will be it's good starts.
This compile with sim_posix (since it does not affect portable code) so this is really clean.
I only tested this with CC. I will port it for OP when I will work on heap2.
- use IRQStack for ISRs (at begening of SRAM) (let's call it the irq stack)
- use end of heap for stack needed during initialization (let's call it the init stack).
- the systemStats in GCS indicate the remaining bytes in the IRQ stack (this is realy usefull to monitor our (nested) IRQs.
This is the base ground to provide as much memory as possible available at task creation time.
Next step is to re-organize the initialization in order to move all the init out of the thread's stacks onto the init stack.
This will provide as much memory as possible available at task creation time.
Basically the stack during initialization will be destroyed once the scheduler starts and dynamic alloc are made (since the init stack is at the end of the heap). We will need to make sure we don't clobber the heap during initialization otherwise this will lead to stack corruption.
matches. Read the flash first bytewise to compute CRC instead of buffering
which is more RAM efficient but very inefficient as it sets up many one byte
SPI transfers.
Also incremented the filesystem magic flag to trigger an automatic flash wipe
on this upgrade.
- only affect flight/PiOS (no change for posix and win32)
- tested on recent master (some runtime on CC with GCS)
- the new timer feature is not compiled-in since we don't use it yet.
- NO TEST FLIGHT
The pipxtreme boards use a sector of the on-board flash
for configuration storage. Adjust the memory maps to
reflect this.
The board_info_blob is also extended to include the EE
bank definitions. This should be used by the pipxtreme
firmware rather than determining it based on chip size.
Now that every bootloader build has a board info blob,
make all fw and bl images use it.
The following MACROS are removed:
BOARD_TYPE, BOARD_REVISION, BOOTLOADER_VERSION,
START_OF_USER_CODE, HW_TYPE
These values are now ONLY available from the bootloader
flash via the pios_board_info_blob symbol. These values
must not be #defined or otherwise hard-coded into the
firmware in any way. The bootloader flash is the only
valid source for this information.
NOTE: To ensure that we have an upgrade path from an
old bootloader (without board_info_blob) to a
new bootloader (with board_info_blob), it is
essential that the bu_* targets do not depend
on (or validate) the board_info_blob being present
in the bootloader flash.
The USE_BOOTLOADER compile flag was only being used
to determine where the ISR vector table was located.
Provide this explicitly from the linker since it knows
exactly where it is putting the ISR vector table.
- New macros for fw, bl and bu rules in top-level make
- Per-board info factored into make/board/*/board-info.mk
- Per-board info now shared btw. fw, bl and blupd for each board
- BOARD_TYPE, BOARD_REVISION, BOOTLOADER_VERSION, HW_TYPE
- MCU, CHIP, BOARD, MODEL, MODEL_SUFFIX
- START_OF_BL_CODE, START_OF_FW_CODE
- blupd_* goals renamed to bu_*
- all_blupd goal renamed to all_bu
- firmware goals renamed to fw_*, board name goals are preserved
- bu_*_program now writes updater to correct address for all boards
- BL updater firmware builds now produce .opf format including
version info blob.
- BL updater firmware name now includes board name.
- INS makefile brought up to date w.r.t. linker scripts
The board info blob is stored in the last 128 bytes of the
bootloader's flash bank. You can access this data from the
application firmware like this:
#include <pios_board_info.h>
if (pios_board_info_blob.magic == PIOS_BOARD_INFO_BLOB_MAGIC) {
/* Check some other fields */
}
DO NOT link pios_board_info.c into your application firmware.
Only bootloaders should provide the content for the board info
structure. The application firmware is only a user of the data.
