Introduction What is a gated timer and why would I need one? A gated timer is a timer whose clock is enabled (or "gated") by some external signal.  This allows for a low code overhead method of synchronizing a timer with an event and/or measuring an event. This functionality is not commonly included on Freescale microcontroller devices (this functionality is only included on devices that are equipped with the upgraded TPM v2 peripheral; currently K66, K65, KL13, KL23, KL33, KL43, KL03) but can be useful in some situations.  Some applications which may find a gated timer useful include asynchronous digital sampling, pulse width duty cycle measurement, and battery charging. How do I implement a gated timer with my Kinetis FTM or TPM peripheral? To implement a true gated timer with a Kinetis device (that does not have the TPM v2 peripheral), additional hardware will be required to implement the enable/disable functionality of a gated timer.  This note will focus on two different ways (low-true and high-true) to implement a gated timer.  The method used will depend on the requirements of your application. Implementing a gated timer for Kinetis devices without the TPM v2 peripheral requires the use of a comparator and a resistive network to implement a gated functionality (NOTE:  Level shifters could be used to replace the resistive network described; however, a resistive network is likely more cost effective, and thus, is presented in this discussion).  Figure 1 below is the block diagram of how to implement a gated timer functionality.  The theory behind this configuration will be explained in later sections. Theory of Operation Comparator and resistive network implementation The comparator is the key piece to implementing this functionality. For those with little experience with comparators (or need a refresher), a comparator is represented by the following figure.  Notice that there are three terminals that will be of relevance in this application: a non-inverting input (labeled with a '+' sign), an inverting input (labeled with a '-' sign), and an output. A comparator does just what the name suggests: it compares two signals and adjusts the output based on the result of the comparison.  This is represented mathematically in the figure below. Considering the above figure, output of the comparator will be a  logic high when the non-inverting input is at a higher electric potential than the inverting input.  The output will be a logic low if the non-inverting input is at a lower electric potential than the inverting input.  The output will be unpredictable if the inputs are exactly the same (oscillations may even occur since comparators are designed to drive the output to a solid high or solid low).  This mechanism allows the clock enable functionality that is required to implement a gated timer function provided that either the non-inverting or inverting input is a clock waveform and the opposite input is a stable logic high or low (depending on the desired configuration) and neither input is ever exactly equal.  Comparator Configurations There are two basic signal configurations that an application can use to enable the clock output out of the comparator: low-true signals and high-true signals.  These two signals and some details on their implementation are explained in the following two sections.  Low-true enable A low-true enable is an enable signal that will have zero electric potential (relative to the microcontroller) or a "grounded" signal in the "active" state.  This configuration is a common implementation when using a push button or momentary switch to provide the enable signal.  When using this type of signal, you will want to connect the enable signal to the non-inverting input of the comparator, and connect the clock signal to the inverting input. The high level of the enable signal should be guaranteed to always be the highest voltage of the input clock plus the maximum input offset of the comparator. To find the maximum input offset of the comparator, consult the device specific datasheet.  See the figure below to see a graphical representation of areas where the signal will be on and off. The external hardware used should ensure that the low level of the enable signal never dips below the lowest voltage of the input clock plus the maximum input offset of the comparator. The following figure displays one possible hardware configuration that is relatively inexpensive and can satisfy these requirements. High-true enable A high-true enable is an enable signal that will have an electric potential equal to VDD of the microcontroller in the "active" state.  This configuration is commonly implemented when the enable signal is provided by an active source or another microcontroller.  When interfacing with this type of signal, you will want to connect the enable signal to the inverting input of the comparator, and connect the clock signal to the non-inverting input.  When the comparator is in the inactive state, it should be at or below the lowest voltage of the clock signal minus the maximum input offset of the comparator.  Refer to the following figure for a diagram of the "on" and "off" regions of the high true configurations. The external hardware will need to guarantee that the when the enable signal is in the active state, it does not rise above the highest voltage of the clock signal minus the maximum input offset of the comparator. The following figure displays one possible hardware configuration that is relatively inexpensive and can satisfy these requirements. Clocking Options Clocking waveform requirements will vary from application to application.  Specifying all of the possibilities is nearly impossible.  The point of this section is to inform what options are available from the Kinetis family and provide some insight as to when it might be relevant to investigate each option. The Kinetis family provides a clock output pin for most devices to allow an internal clock to be routed to a pin.  The uses for this option can vary.  In this particular scenario, it will be used to provide the source clock for the comparator clock input. Here are the most common clock output pin options across the Kinetis K series devices.  (NOTE:  If the application requires a clock frequency that the CLKOUT signal cannot provide, a separate FTM or TPM instance or another timer module can be used to generate the required clock.) In the Kinetis L series devices, the following options will be available. The clock option selected should be the slowest allowable clock for the application being designed.  This will minimize the power consumption of the application.  For applications that require high resolution, the Bus, Flash, or Flexbus clock should be selected (note that the Flexbus clock can provide an independently adjustable clock, if it is not being used in the application, as it is always running).  However, if the target application needs to be more power efficient, the LPO or MCGIRCLK should be used.  The LPO for the Kinetis devices is a fixed 1 kHz frequency and will, therefore, only be useful in applications that require millisecond resolutions.

OpenSDA/OpenSDAv2 is a serial and debug adapter that is built into several Freescale evaluation boards. It provides a bridge between your computer (or other USB host) and the embedded target processor, which can be used for debugging, flash programming, and serial communication, all over a simple USB cable.   The OpenSDA hardware consists of a circuit featuring a Freescale Kinetis K20 microcontroller (MCU) with an integrated USB controller. On the software side, it implements a mass storage device bootloader which offers a quick and easy way to load OpenSDA applications such as flash programmers, run-control debug interfaces, serial to USB converters, and more. Details on OpenSDA can be found in the OpenSDA User Guide.     The bootloader and app firmware that lay on top of the original OpenSDA circuit was proprietary.  But recently ARM decided to open source their CMSIS-DAP interface, and now a truly open debug platform could be created. This new open-sourced firmware solution is known as OpenSDAv2.   OpenSDAv2: OpenSDAv2 uses the exact same hardware circuit as the original OpenSDA solution, and out of the box it still provides a debugger, drag-and-drop flash programmer, and virtual serial port over a single USB cable.   The difference is the firmware implementation: OpenSDA: Programmed with the proprietary P&E Micro developed bootloader. P&E Micro is the default debug interface app. OpenSDAv2: Programmed with the open-sourced CMSIS-DAP/mbed bootloader. CMSIS-DAP is the default debug interface app.       Firmware Developer Kinetis K20 Based Hardware Circuit Default Debug Interface Drag-and-drop Target MCU Flash Programming Virtual Serial Port Source Code Available OpenSDA P&E Micro x P&E Micro .srec/.s19 x   OpenSDAv2 ARM/mbed.org x CMSIS-DAP .bin x x   The bootloader and app firmware used by OpenSDAv2 is developed by the community at mbed.org, and is known as “CMSIS-DAP Interface Firmware”. If you explore that site, you will find that this firmware was also ported to run on other hardware, but the combination of this mbed.org firmware with the Kinetis K20 MCU is known as OpenSDAv2.   It is important to understand however that it is possible to run a P&E Micro debug app on the CMSIS-DAP/mbed bootloader found on OpenSDAv2. Likewise it is possible to run a CMSIS-DAP debug app on the P&E Micro bootloader found on OpenSDA. The debug application used needs to be targeted towards a specific bootloader though, as a single binary cannot be used on both the OpenSDA and OpenSDAv2 bootloaders.   OpenSDAv2.1: During development of OpenSDAv2 features and bug fixes, it was found that the reserved bootloader space was too small. Thus a new version of OpenSDAv2 had to be created, which was named OpenSDAv2.1. The difference between the OpenSDAv2.0 and v2.1 is the address where the debug application starts: for OpenSDAv2.0 it expects the application at address 0x5000, while OpenSDAv2.1 expects the application to start at address 0x8000.   The only board with OpenSDAv2.0 is the FRDM-K64F. All other OpenSDAv2 boards (such as the just released FRDM-K22F) use OpenSDAv2.1.   Unfortunately this means that new OpenSDAv2 apps are needed. From a user perspective this mostly affects the JLink app since it was shared across all boards. Make sure you download the correct app for your board based on the OpenSDAv2 version.   OpenSDAv2 Apps: mbed CMSIS-DAP for FRDM-K64F mbed CMSIS-DAP for FRDM-K22F P&E Micro  (use the Firmware Apps link) Segger JLink (look at bottom of page for OpenSDAv2.0 or OpenSDAv2.1 app)   OpenSDAv2 Bootloader: The key difference between OpenSDA and OpenSDAv2 is the bootloader. Boards with OpenSDA use a proprietary bootloader developed by P&E Micro, and it cannot be erased or reprogrammed by an external debugger due to the security restrictions in the firmware. Boards with OpenSDAv2 use the open-source bootloader developed by mbed.org, and it can be erased and reprogrammed with an external debugger.   Apps need to be specifically created to work with either the P&E bootloader (Original OpenSDA) or the CMSIS-DAP/mbed bootloader (OpenSDAv2/OpenSDAv2.1) as the bootloader memory map is different.  Thus it’s important to know which type of bootloader is on your board to determine which version of an app to load.   You can determine the bootloader version by holding the reset button while plugging in a USB cable into the OpenSDA USB port. A BOOTLOADER drive will appear for both OpenSDA and OpenSDAv2.   The OpenSDAv2.0 bootloader (may also be called the CMSIS-DAP/mbed bootloader) developed by mbed.org will have the following files inside.  Viewing the HTML source of the bootload.htm file with Notepad will tell you the build version, date, and git hash commit. For the OpenSDAv2.1 bootloader, this file will be named mbed.htm instead.     The OpenSDAv1 bootloader developed by P&E Micro will have the following inside. Clicking on SDA_INFO.HTM will take you to the P&E website.       Using CMSIS-DAP: When you connect a Freedom board that has OpenSDAv2 (such as the FRDM-K64F) to your computer with a USB cable, it will begin running the default CMSIS_DAP/mbed application which has three main features.   1. Drag and Drop MSD Flash Programming You will see a new disk drive appear labeled “MBED”.   You can then drag-and-drop binary (.bin) files onto the virtual hard disk to program the internal flash of the target MCU.   2.Virtual Serial Port OpenSDAv2 will also enumerate as a virtual serial port, which you can use a terminal program , such as TeraTerm (shown below), to connect to. You may need to install the mbed Windows serial port driver first before the serial port will enumerate on Windows properly. It should work without a driver for MacOS and Linux.   3. Debugging The CMSIS-DAP app also allows you to debug the target MCU via the CMSIS-DAP interface. Select the CMSIS-DAP interface in your IDE of choice, and inside the CMSIS-DAP options select the Single Wire Debug (SWD) option:   Kinetis Design Studio (KDS): Note: OpenOCD with CMSIS-DAP for FRDM-K22F is not supported in KDS V1.1.0. You must use either the P&E app instructions or the JLink app instructions to use KDS with the FRDM-K22F at this time. This will be fixed over the next few weeks. OpenSDAv2 uses the OpenOCD debug interface which uses the CMSIS-DAP protocol. Make sure '-f kinetis.cfg' is specified as 'Other Options':   IAR     Keil:         Resources CMSIS-DAP Interface Firmware mbed.org FRDM-K64 Page FRDM-K64 User Guide OpenSDAv2 on MCU on Eclipse blog OpenSDA User Guide KDS Debugging   Appendix A: Building the CMSIS-DAP Debug Application The open source CMSIS-DAP Interface Firmware app is the default app used on boards with OpenSDAv2. It provides: Debugging via the CMSIS-DAP interface Drag-and-drop flash programming Virtual Serial Port providing USB-to-Serial convertor   While binaries of this app are provided for supported boards, some developers would like to build the CMSIS-DAP debug application themselves.   This debug application can be built for either the OpenSDAv2/mbed bootloader, or for the original OpenSDA bootloader developed by P&E Micro. If you are not sure which bootloader your board has, refer to the bootloader section in this document.   Building the CMSIS-DAP debug application requires Keil MDK. You will also need to have the “Legacy Support for Cortex-M Devices” software pack installed for Keil.   You will also need Python 2.x installed. Due to the python script used, Python 3.x will not work.   The code is found in the MBED git repository, so it can be downloaded using a git clone command: “git clone https://github.com/mbedmicro/CMSIS-DAP.git” Note that there is a Download Zip option, but you will run into a issue when trying to compile that version, so you must download it via git instead.   The source code can be seen below:   This repository contains the files for both the bootloader and the CMSIS-DAP debug interface application. We will concentrate on the interface application at the moment.   Open up Keil MDK, and open up the project file located at \CMSIS-DAP\interface\mdk\k20dx128\k20dx128_interface.uvproj In the project configuration drop-down box, you will notice there are a lot of options. Since different chips may have slightly different flash programming algorithms, there is a target for each specific evaluation board. In this case, we will be building for the FRDM-K64F board. Scroll down until you get to that selection:   Notice there are three options for the K64: k20dx128_k64f_if: Used for debugging the CMSIS-DAP application with Keil. Code starts at address 0x0000_0000 k20dx128_k64_if_openSDA_bootloader: Creates a binary to drag-and-drop on the P&E developed bootloader (Original OpenSDA) k20dx128_k64_if_mbed_bootloader: Creates a binary to drag-and-drop onto the CMSIS-DAP/mbed developed bootloader (OpenSDAv2)   Since the FRDM-K64F comes with the OpenSDAv2 bootloader, we will use the 3 rd option. If we were building the mbed app for another Freedom board which had the original OpenSDA bootloader, we would choose the 2 nd option instead.   Now click on the compile icon. You may get some errors If you get an error similar to the one shown below, make sure you have installed the Legacy pack for ARM as previously described earlier:           compiling RTX_Config.c...             ..\..\Common\src\RTX_Config.c(184): error:  #5: cannot open source input file "RTX_lib.c": No such file or directory            and           compiling usb_config.c...             ..\..\..\shared\USBStack\INC\usb_lib.c(18): error:  #5: cannot open source input file "..\..\RL\USB\INC\usb.h": No such file or directory   If you get an error regarding a missing version_git.h file, make sure that Python 2.x and git are in your path. A Python build script fetches that file. It's called from the User tab in the project options, under "Run User Programs Before Build/Rebuild". If there is a warning about “invalid syntax” when running the Python script, make sure your using Python 2.x. Python 3.x will not work with the build script.   Now recompile again, and it should successfully compile. If you look now in \CMSIS-DAP\interface\mdk\k20dx128 you will see a new k20dx128_k64f_if_mbed.bin file   If you compiled the project for the OpenSDA bootloader, there would be a new k20dx128_k64f_if_openSDA.S19 file instead.   Loading the CMSIS-DAP Debug Application: Now take the Freedom board, press and hold the reset button as you plug in the USB cable. Then, drag-and-drop the .bin file (for OpenSDAv2) or .S19 file (for OpenSDA) into the BOOTLOADER drive that enumerated.   Perform a power cycle, and you should see a drive called “MBED” come up and you can start using the CMSIS-DAP debug interface, as well as drag-and-drop programming and virtual serial port as described earlier in this document.   Appendix B: Building the CMSIS-DAP Bootloader All Freedom boards already come with a bootloader pre-flashed onto the K20.  But for those building their own boards that would like to use CMSIS-DAP, or those who would like to tinker with the bootloader, it possible to flash it to the Kinetis K20 device. Flashing the bootloader will require an external debugger, such as the Keil ULink programmer or Segger JLink.   Also note that the OpenSDA/PE Micro Bootloader cannot be erased! Due to the proprietary nature of the P&E firmware used by the original OpenSDA, it can only be programmed at the board manufacturer and JTAG is disabled. So these instructions are applicable for boards with OpenSDAv2 only.   First, open up the bootloader project which is located at \CMSIS-DAP\bootloader\mdk\k20dx128\k20dx128_bootloader.uvproj   There is only one target available because all OpenSDAv2 boards will use the same bootloader firmware as the hardware circuitry is the same.   Click on the compile icon and it should compile successfully. If you see errors about a missing version_git.h file, note that Python 2.x must be in the path to run a pre-build script which fetches that file.   Now connect a Keil ULink to J10 and then insert a USB cable to provide power to J26. Note that if you have the 20-pin connector, you’ll want to use the first 10 pins.   Then for Keil 5 you will need to change some debug options (CMSIS-DAP is built under Keil 4.x).   Right click on the bootloader project, and go to the Debug tab and next to ULINK Pro Cortex Debugger, click on Settings:   Then under “Cortex-M Target Driver Setup”, change the “Connect” drop down box to “under Reset” and “Reset” dropdown box to “HW RESET”. Hit OK to save the settings.     Then in Keil, click on Flash->Erase.   And then on Flash->Download.   If you get an “Invalid ROM Table” error when flashing the CMSIS-DAP bootloader, make sure you made the changes to the debugger settings listed above.   After some text scrolls by, you should see:   Now power cycle while holding down the reset button, and you should see the bootloader drive come up. You’ll then need to drag and drop the mbed application built earlier onto it. And that’s all there is to it!   The binaries for the bootloader and CMSIS-DAP debug app for the FRDM-K64F board created in writing this guide are attached.

客户要求:K60 100MHz芯片作为SPI主机读取片外SPI Flash存储器内容(SPI Flash器件数据准备完成会触发K60 GPIO中断),要求在130~150微秒之间读取九个不连续地址上的数据,每个地址需要读取4个字节,SPI波特率为5MHz。读取SPI Flash存储器,需要使用读取命令(1个字节)外加地址(2个字节)。换言之,每读取一次K60需要发送7个字节(1字节读取命令+2字节地址+4字节空读数据)。同时要求减少内核负担。 Customer requirement: Use K60 100MHz product as SPI master communicate with external SPI Flash device (When data ready, SPI Flash device will trigger K60 GPIO interrupt), it need to read data from 9 discontinuous address, each address read 4 bytes within 130~150us. SPI  baud rate is 5MHz. Read data from SPI Flash, it need SPI master send 1byte read command and 2bytes address. In another word, K60 need to send 7bytes(1byte read command+2bytes address+4bytes dummy read) 9times within 130us. SPI communication baud rate is 5MHz. It also require to reduce core work load. 实现方法:使用DMA模块,其中一个DMA通道1用来装载SPI传输TX数据(触发源为SPI TFFF符号,SPI FIFO可装载),另外一个DMA通道0用来接收SPI数据(触发源为SPI RFDF符号,SPI 接收FIFO非空)。通过使用DMA引擎可以自动发起SPI传输,减少内核在SPI传输过程中的干预,达到降低内核工作负荷的效果。SPI模块采用中断方式。 Reality way: Use DMA module, DMA CH0 loads data for SPI transmit, DMA CH1 stores data for SPI receive.  DMA triggered by SPI module and SPI module works in interrupt way. 测试平台:TWR-K60D100M, TWR-MEM, IAR ARM Workbench V6.60 TWR-MEM板子提供SPI Flash设备(AT26DF081A),可以通过TWR-K60D100M SPI2模块进行访问。 Test platform: TWR-K60D100M ,TWR-MEM , IAR ARM Workbench V6.60 SPI Flash AT26DF081A on TWR-MEM board, which could be accessed by TWR-K60D100M via SPI2 module. 测试场景一:读取AT26DF081A设备ID信息 Test scenario 1:  Read device ID AT26DF081A设备提供查询设备ID命令0x9F,返回4个字节设备ID信息(0x1F,0x45,0x01,0x00)。K60作为SPI主机发出查询命令,之后执行4次空写入操作用来读出设备ID信息。测试中SPI传输/接收数据帧大小设定为1个字节(8bit)。由于DSPI模块传输接收均提供4级FIFO,测试中使用两种方式进行SPI数据发送,一种方式使用DMA通道发送读取设备ID查询命令和4次空写入数据,另一种方式通过执行代码(需要内核干预)发送读取设备ID查询命令和4次空写入数据。SPI数据接收均使用DMA完成。为了便于测试使用DMA模块是否降低内核负荷,在DSPI通信同时,主程序在While循环中不停翻转GPIO引脚(PTD7)。 SPI Flash AT26DF081A provides read device ID command(0x9f), will feedback 4 bytes device ID info(0x1F,0x45,0x01,0x00)。K60 works as SPI master send read ID command, then send 4 dummy write data to read back device ID info. During test, SPI data frame size setting to 1byte(8 bit). For DSPI module TX/RX FIFO is 4 entries, so there using two ways do SPI data transfer, one is using DMA CH1 send data, the other way using software code send data. SPI RX using DMA CH0 and in main while loop it will toggle PTD7 pin to show if using DMA module will reduce core work load. 测试流程图(方法一: 使用DMA CH1发送SPI数据): Test flow chart (Way1: Using DMA CH1 do SPI TX): 测试结果(Test Result): 执行一次读ID信息操作,需要花费12.96us,其中内核处理中断的时间为(2.56+2.72)= 5.28us。 根据客户要求,依照此方法每次发送3个字节,接收4个字节,SPI通信过程中内核负荷时间比率为 (5.28/16.16) =32.7% SPI read ID operation once, it will take 12.96us, includes core deal with interrupt time 5.28us. According to this way, customer want to TX 3bytes then RX 4bytes, during SPI communication core work load rate is 32.7% 测试流程图(方法二: 使用软件代码发送SPI数据): Test flow chart (Way2: Using software code do SPI TX): 测试结果(Test Result): 执行一次读ID信息操作,需要花费11.6us,其中内核处理中断的时间为(2.48+1.40)= 3.88us。 根据客户要求,依照此方法每次发送3个字节,接收4个字节,SPI通信过程中内核负荷时间比率为 (3.88/14.80) =26.2% SPI read ID operation once, it will take 11.6us, includes core deal with interrupt time 3.88us. According to this way, customer want to TX 3bytes then RX 4bytes, during SPI communication core work load rate is 26.2% 测试场景二:读取AT26DF081A设备9处不连续地址数据 Test scenario 2: Read 9 discontinue address data from AT26DF081A AT26DF081A设备提供读阵列命令(0x0B),可以连续读取多个字节数据。根据客户要求,测试读取9处不连续地址数据,每处读取4个字节。根据AT26DF081A设备要求,读阵列命令后需要再发送3个字节地址信息外加1个字节空写入数据,之后K60将会收到数据。即如果要读取4个字节数据,K60作为SPI主机需要发送9个字节数据(1个字节读阵列命令+3个字节地址+1个字节空写入+4个字节空写入)。测试中使用两个DMA通道进行SPI数据收发,两个DMA通道交替工作,DMA通道0(SPI接收)优先级高于DMA通道1(SPI发送)。完成9处数据采集后进入SPI中断,清除EOQ标志并且修正DMA通道配置,进行新的一轮9处数据读取测试。为了便于测试使用DMA模块是否降低内核负荷,在DSPI通信同时,主程序在While循环中不停翻转GPIO引脚(PTD7)。 SPI Flash AT26DF081A provides read array command (0x0B) to sequentially read a continuous stream of data out. With customer requirement, the test will read 9 discontinue address data, each address read 4 bytes data. AT26DF081A datasheet shows read array command with 3 bytes address and 1 dummy byte, then following will be data. In order to read 4 bytes data out, K60 as SPI master need TX 9 bytes data (1byte read array command + 3bytes address + 1byte dummy data + 4bytes dummy data). During the test, it using two DMA channels do SPI TX/RX, each channel alternatively work, DMA CH0(SPI RX) with higher priority than DMA CH1(SPI TX). When finish 9 discontinue address data receive, it will clear EOQ flag and refresh DMA CH0/1 setting in SPI interrupt for next round read 9 discontinue address data test. In main while loop it will toggle PTD7 pin to show if using DMA module will reduce core work load. 测试流程图(Test flow chart): 测试结果(Test Result): 读取AT26DF081A设备9处不连续地址数据,需要花费132.32us,其中内核处理中断的时间为2.6us。 根据客户要求,依照此方法每次发送3个字节,接收4个字节,重复9次。SPI通信过程中内核负荷时间比率为 (2.6/103.52) =2.5% SPI read ID operation once, it will take  132.32us , includes core deal with interrupt time 2.6us. According to this way, customer want to TX 3bytes then RX 4bytes, 9times,during SPI communication core work load rate is 2.5% DMA模块提供动态加载DMA传输控制描述符(TCD)功能,当需要连续多次执行SPI传输时,使用这种功能可以进一步减少内核负荷。 DMA module provides dynamic scatter/gather feature, which supports automatically loading a new TCD into a DMA channel. Using this feature will reduce core work load in SPI transfer continuously. 测试结果(使用DMA动态加载功能): Test Result(Using DMA dynamic scatter/gather feature ): 读取AT26DF081A设备9处不连续地址数据,需要花费130.68us,其中内核处理中断的时间为0.76us。 根据客户要求,依照此方法每次发送3个字节,接收4个字节,重复9次。SPI通信过程中内核负荷时间比率为 (0.76/101.88) =0.75% SPI read ID operation once, it will take 130.68 us , includes core deal with interrupt time 0.76us. According to this way, customer want to TX 3bytes then RX 4bytes, 9times,during SPI communication core work load rate is 0.75% 测试结论(Test conclusion) SPI通信过程中DMA模块使用方式不同对于减轻内核负荷作用差异明显。通常SPI进行大量数据传输接收,使用DMA模块能有效减少内核负荷。鉴于客户需求,使用测试场景二的方法可以有效降低内核负荷。 How to use DMA module to reduce core work load, different way lead to different result. In general, using DMA module do amounts of SPI data transfer will reduce core work load . According customer requirement, using test scenario 2 way reduce core work load dramatically。 为什么每次读操作之间需要SPI片选无效 (Why need deassert CS signal between each read operation)? 根据AT26DF081A手册要求,读ID命令和读阵列命令都需要使片选信号无效用以结束当前的读操作,换言之如果要开始新的读操作,需要结束之前的通信(使片选信号无效)。 AT26DF081A datasheet indicates deasserting the CS pin will terminate the read operation and put the SO pin into a high-impedance state. In order to start new read command operation, it need deassert the CS pin. 计算客户要求每次读命令间隔时间为SPI实际通信时间(以5MHz波特率发送7个字节重复9次 100.8us)加上内核处理中断时间。 According customer requirement SPI each read command interval time is SPI communication time (TX 7bytes 9times with 5MHz baud rate take 100.8us) add core deal with interrupt time. 测试代码(Test source code) 测试代码基于Kientis 100MHz Rev2例程中的[spi_demo]工程,将测试代码替换<spi_demo.c>和<isr.h>文件即可。 Test source code is based on KINETIS512_V2_SC (Kientis 100MHz Rev2 Example Project) [spi_demo] project, using test code instead of orignial <spi_demo.c>&<isr.h> files.

中文版本:     在KL25的官方Demo 源代码中只有I2C驱动的PE代码而没有I2C驱动的baremental代码,对于不习惯用PE生成代码的用户直接上手有难度,于是考虑将K60的 I2C baremental 驱动代码中移植到KL25上,以供大家参考。但在移植过程中遇到了两个比较典型的问题,所以这里分享出来,希望能帮助遇到同样问题的用户迅速定位并解决问题。 测试硬件:TWR-K60D100M开发板  K60+MMA8451(MMA8451为三轴加速传感器,与K60通过I2C总线连接。K60作为master,MMA8451作为slave)                 FRDM-KL25Z开发板       KL25+MMA8451 开发环境:IAR 6.6 1.问题描述: 配置I2Cx_F寄存器MULT位不为0时,Repeat start信号无法产生 问题提出: K60示例代码(如附件1)中I2C demo的功能是通过I2C接口读取板载的加速度传感器MMA8451的数据,并且I2C数据控制采用查询ACK标志位的方式,在TWR-K60D100M开发板上运行该Demo一切正常。使用几乎相同的I2C驱动代码,在FRDM-KL25Z开发板上执行发现:程序总是停在如下Function 1的红色字体行i2c_wait(I2C0_B),进入这个函数内部,它实际上是停在while((p->S & I2C_S_IICIF_MASK)==0),一直等待传输完成的中断标志IICIF置位。 Function 1. u8 hal_dev_mma8451_read_reg(u8 addr) {     u8 result;     i2c_start(I2C0_B);     i2c_write_byte(I2C0_B, I2C_ADDR_MMA8451 | I2C_WRITE);     i2c_wait(I2C0_B);     i2c_get_ack(I2C0_B);     i2c_write_byte(I2C0_B, addr);     i2c_wait(I2C0_B);     i2c_get_ack(I2C0_B);     i2c_repeated_start(I2C0_B);     i2c_write_byte(I2C0_B, I2C_ADDR_MMA8451 | I2C_READ);     i2c_wait(I2C0_B);     i2c_get_ack(I2C0_B);     i2c_set_rx_mode(I2C0_B);     i2c_give_nack(I2C0_B);     result = i2c_read_byte(I2C0_B);     i2c_wait(I2C0_B);     i2c_stop(I2C0_B);     result = i2c_read_byte(I2C0_B);     pause();     return result; } Function 2. void i2c_wait(I2C_MemMapPtr p) {     while((p->S & I2C_S_IICIF_MASK)==0)  ; // wait flag     p->S |= I2C_S_IICIF_MASK;    // clear flag } 原因分析:      初步判断可能是上一步数据的传输 i2c_write_byte()没有完成,导致IICIF未能被置位。于是通过示波器去捕捉这个过程,发现在执行 i2c_repeated_start(I2C0_B)时,KL25并没有产生一个 Repeat start信号。经过一番谷哥和度娘,终于在Kinetis L的Errata中找到了答案:Repeat start cannot be generated if the I2Cx_F[MULT] field is set to a non-zero value. 这也就意味着,当 I2Cx_F[MULT]位被设置为非0值时,I2C Master不能产生一个Repeat start信号。而在应用程序的I2C初始化I2C_init()代码中, 我恰好设置I2Cx_F[MULT]=01,这正好是符合了Errata描述的错误产生的条件。 解决方案:      I2C的C1寄存器中MULT位是I2C SCL时钟的倍乘因子,用于控制I2C的波特率。为解决上面的问题,FSL官方提供了两种workaround的办法: 1)如果repeat start必须产生时,配置 I2Cx_F[MULT]为0; 2)在置位 I2Cx_F register (I2Cx_C1[RSTA]=1)的Repeat START产生位之前临时设置 I2Cx_F [MULT],然后再在repeated start信号产生后恢复I2Cx_F [MULT]位的设置。 按照第一种方法,我修改程序中I2Cx_F[MULT]的设置从01到00,然后程序在FRDM-KL25Z 开发板上运行正常,能正常读取板载的加速度传感器MMA8451的数据。 2.问题描述: I2C单字节读取时序问题 问题提出: 在上面的Function 1中, KL25读取MMA8451的基本过程是:发送要访问的从机地址及对从机的写命令->发送要访问的从机的寄存器地址->发送Repeat Start信号到从机->发送要访问的从机地址及读命令->读取从机返回的数据,如下Figure1 MMA8451的单周期读时序图所示,其过程和上面代码的描述一致。但是有一点值得注意的是Figure 1中红色方框部分,按照Figure 1的表述,Master是在从Slave从机读取DATA[7:0]之后返回NAK信号的,用于指示本数据是Master要接收的最后一个DATA,最后发送stop signal终止数据的传送。按照这个思路得到的KL25的程序代码如下Section 2,它首先去读取从机返回的数据 i2c_read_byte(I2C0_B),然后发送NACK信号到从机i2c_give_nack(I2C0_B)。然而从KL25实际的物理时序的角度看,这个顺序是错误的,正确的应该是如下Section 1,应该在读取从机返回的数据 i2c_read_byte(I2C0_B)之前,首先发送NACK信号到从机i2c_give_nack(I2C0_B)。 Section 1.   i2c_set_rx_mode(I2C0_B);   i2c_give_nack(I2C0_B);----line1   result = i2c_read_byte(I2C0_B);----line2   i2c_wait(I2C0_B);----line3   i2c_stop(I2C0_B);----line4   result = i2c_read_byte(I2C0_B);----line5 Section 2.   i2c_set_rx_mode(I2C0_B);   result = i2c_read_byte(I2C0_B);-   i2c_wait(I2C0_B);   i2c_give_nack(I2C0_B);-   i2c_stop(I2C0_B); 原因: 主机发送的NACK信号只有在下一个数据接收之后才会被push到总线上,KL25的RM手册中的描述为the No acknowledge signal is sent to the bus after the following receiving data byte (if FACK is cleared)。 具体分析: 按照两个时序分别做了一个测试,并用示波器捕捉了相应的波形:执行Section 1的代码得到的波形如下Figure 2所示,NACK(1)信号刚好在第9个pluse脉冲上升沿被push总线上,然后在Stop信号后总线处于idle状态(SCL和SDA均为高)。执行Section 2的代码得到的波形如下Figure 3所示,ACK(0)信号在第9个pluse脉冲上升沿被push总线上,说明后面还有数据要传输,一直处于等待MMA8451数据的再次传送中,这明显违背了读取单字节数据的原本意图。总之,KL的I2C应用中Section 1的代码操作顺序是正确的,实际的物理时序和 Figure 1的示意图时序是不一样的,这点需要特别注意。 Figure 1.

Section 2 代码对应的时序 为方便大家验证这些问题,我这里在附件中一并上传了K60的I2C的示例代码,KL25的示例代码,以及Kinetis L关于I2C的Errata。 —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— English Version:      Recently, I migrate the K60’s I2C demo code to the KL25, but found it can't works when the same demo code runs on FRDM-KL25Z board while it runs well on the K60 board. After a painful struggling, I finally get the cause, so here I make a record, wish it could be helpful when other users happen to meet same problem. Repeat start can't be generated when configure I2Cx_F[MULT] to non-zero      The K60’s demo( the attached 1) is to communicate with the onboard accelerometer MMA8451 by I2C, and in the demo it finish a data transmission by quering I2C’s flag bit. With almost same code, it always stops at below Function 1's red line i2c_wait(I2C0_B), also this function's defination is shown as below Function 2, it stops at while((p->S & I2C_S_IICIF_MASK)==0) to wait IICIF flag. Function 1. u8 hal_dev_mma8451_read_reg(u8 addr) {     u8 result;     i2c_start(I2C0_B);     i2c_write_byte(I2C0_B, I2C_ADDR_MMA8451 | I2C_WRITE);     i2c_wait(I2C0_B);     i2c_get_ack(I2C0_B);     i2c_write_byte(I2C0_B, addr);    i2c_wait(I2C0_B);     i2c_get_ack(I2C0_B);     i2c_repeated_start(I2C0_B);     i2c_write_byte(I2C0_B, I2C_ADDR_MMA8451 | I2C_READ);     i2c_wait(I2C0_B);     i2c_get_ack(I2C0_B);     i2c_set_rx_mode(I2C0_B);     i2c_give_nack(I2C0_B);     result = i2c_read_byte(I2C0_B);     i2c_wait(I2C0_B);     i2c_stop(I2C0_B);     result = i2c_read_byte(I2C0_B);     pause();     return result; } Function 2. void i2c_wait(I2C_MemMapPtr p) {     while((p->S & I2C_S_IICIF_MASK)==0)  ; // wait flag     p->S |= I2C_S_IICIF_MASK;    // clear flag }      Then what's the matter? when I capture the I2C's wave form, found it didn't generate a Repeat start signal when excute i2c_repeated_start(I2C0_B);  After a struggle, In the Kinetis L's Errata do I find the answer: Repeat start cannot be generated if the I2Cx_F[MULT] field is set to a non-zero value. That means there is a bug in KL's design, if the I2Cx_F[MULT] field is set to a non-zero value, the I2C master can't generate a Repeat start signal. Coincidentally, in the I2C_init function I happen to set theI2Cx_F[MULT]=01, so it just meets the I2C's Errata.      Considering the MULT bits define the multiplier factor mul. and  used along with the SCL divider to generate the I2C baud rate. In the Errata, FSL gives two possible workarounds: 1) Configure I2Cx_F[MULT] to zero if a repeat start has to be generated. 2) Temporarily set I2Cx_F [MULT] to zero immediately before setting the Repeat START bit in the I2C C1 register (I2Cx_C1[RSTA]=1) and restore the I2Cx_F [MULT] field to the original value after the repeated start has occurred. To verify it easily, I revise the I2Cx_F[MULT] from 01 to 00. After that the same code runs well on FRDM-KL25Z board.    2. The Timing Sequence Of I2C's single byte Reading      In the above Function 1, there are a MMA8451 data read section like below after  Write Device Address->Write Register Address->Repeat Start->Write Device Address, and these steps is same as MMA8451's single byte read Timing Sequence requirment which is shown as below Figure 1. But referring to Figure 1, it looks like Section2 we should first excute below line2 to read the data, and then line1 give a nack  to suggest it's the last data, at last excute line4 to send a I2C stop signal. But unfortunately the idea is wrong, because in the phasical timing sequence the No acknowledge signal is sent to the bus after the following receiving data byte (if FACK is cleared) ,which means we need to give NACK signal before a read. And the captured wave form is like below Figure 2, you can find the NACK in the Ninth pluse, while the captured wave form is like below Figure 3 if excute Section 2 code instesd of Section 1 code, you can find the ACK in the Ninth pluse. it means the master will read another data, but the original intention is to read only one byte, so the I2C bus blocks. In a word, the section 1 code is right, the physical timing is different from the Figure 1's sketch map.

        在我们嵌入式工程应用中,中断作为最常用的异步手段是必不可少的,而且在一个应用程序中,一个中断往往是不够用的,多个中断混合使用甚至多级中断嵌套也经常会使用到,而这样就涉及到一个中断优先级的问题。         以我们最熟悉的Cortex-M系列为例,我们知道ARM从Cortex-M系列开始引入了NVIC的概念(Nested Vectors Interrupts Controller),即嵌套向量中断控制器,以它为核心通过一张中断向量表来控制系统中断功能,NVIC可以提供以下几个功能: 1)可嵌套中断支持; 2)向量中断支持; 3)动态优先级调整支持; 4)中断可屏蔽。         抛开其他不谈,这里我们只说说中断优先级的问题。我们知道NVIC的核心工作原理即是对一张中断向量表的维护上,其中M4最多支持240+16个中断向量,M0+则最多支持32+16个中断向量,而这些中断向量默认的优先级则是向量号越小的优先级越高,即从小到大,优先级是递减的。但是我们肯定不会满足于默认的状态(人往往不满足于约束,换句俗话说就是不喜欢按套路出牌,呵呵),而NVIC则恰恰提供了这种灵活性,即支持动态优先级调整,无论是M0+还是M4除了3个中断向量之外(复位、NMI和HardFault,他们的中断优先级为负数,它们3个的优先级是最高的且不可更改),其他中断向量都是可以动态调整的。         不过需要注意的是,中断向量表的前16个为内核级中断,之后的为外部中断,而内核级中断和外部中断的优先级则是由两套不同的寄存器组来控制的,其中内核级中断由SCB_SHPRx寄存器来控制(M0+为SCB_SHPR[2:3],M4为SCB_SHPR[1:3]),外部中断则由NVIC_IPRx来控制(M0+为NVIC_IPR[0:7],M4为NVIC_IPR[0:59]),如下图所示: M0+中断优先级寄存器: M4中断优先级寄存器:         其中M4所支持的动态优先级范围为0~15(8位中只有高四位[7:4]才有效),而M0+所支持的动态优先级范围则为0~3(8位中只有高两位[7:6]才有效),而且秉承着号越小优先级越高的原则(0最高,15或3为最小),同时也间接解释了为什么复位(-3)、NMI(-2)和HardFault(-1)优先级最高的原因,很简单,人家都是负的了,谁还能比他们高,呵呵,而且这三位中复位优先级最高,NMI其次,HardFault最低(这个最低仅限于这三者)。 下面给出个ARM CMSIS库中关于M0+和M4中断优先级设置的API函数NVIC_SetPriority(IRQn_Type IRQn, uint32_t priority)实现供大家来参考: M0+: NVIC_SetPriority(IRQn_Type IRQn, uint32_t priority) {   if(IRQn < 0) {     SCB->SHP[_SHP_IDX(IRQn)] = (SCB->SHP[_SHP_IDX(IRQn)] & ~(0xFF << _BIT_SHIFT(IRQn))) |         (((priority << (8 - __NVIC_PRIO_BITS)) & 0xFF) << _BIT_SHIFT(IRQn)); }  /* set Priority for Cortex-M  System Interrupts */   else {     NVIC->IP[_IP_IDX(IRQn)] = (NVIC->IP[_IP_IDX(IRQn)] & ~(0xFF << _BIT_SHIFT(IRQn))) |         (((priority << (8 - __NVIC_PRIO_BITS)) & 0xFF) << _BIT_SHIFT(IRQn)); }   /* set Priority for device specific Interrupts  */ } M4: void NVIC_SetPriority(IRQn_Type IRQn, uint32_t priority) {   if(IRQn < 0) {     SCB->SHP[((uint32_t)(IRQn) & 0xF)-4] = ((priority << (8 - __NVIC_PRIO_BITS)) & 0xff); } /* set Priority for Cortex-M  System Interrupts */   else {     NVIC->IP[(uint32_t)(IRQn)] = ((priority << (8 - __NVIC_PRIO_BITS)) & 0xff);    }        /* set Priority for device specific Interrupts  */ }

分享自China-FAE team同事,在此谢过! 有客户需要bootloader功能,于是从网上下到最新版本的AN2295,发现里面添加了很多的内容,包括支持了很多新的器件,比如KM系列,但是真正把它在板子上跑起来,却花了2天时间,为了减少大家工作量,不在重蹈覆辙,我在这里share给大家,目前该代码在FRDM_KL25以及TWR-K60D100M上跑起来了。遇到的问题主要有如下几点: 问题1: 在工程中使用除法命令: a =a /100; 会报错: Error[Li005]: no definition for "__aeabi_uidiv" [referenced from D:\Customer\XinRuiYang\an2295sw_Kl25\src\Kinetis\IAR_6_4\Kinetis L Debug\Obj\bootloader.o] 原因是: 这里Lib选择的是None,说明没有使用任何库,所以不能使用除法。 打开库后,可能会占用比较大的空间,所以不推荐使用。 问题2: FRDM_KL25使用默认代码频率,波特率有问题,发送data = 0但是实际发送值为0x80,通过更改主频为48M,然后分频解决。附件有参考代码。TWR-K60100DM没有此问题。 问题3: FRDM_KL25板子,如果不使能BOOTLOADER_AUTO_TRIMMING这个宏,即不调用SlaveFrequencyCalibration();函数时, 代码上电不能直接运行,而使能该函数后,会一直进行校准频率,上位机无法通讯,查找代码发现: 上版代码为         #if BOOTLOADER_AUTO_TRIMMING == 1                       if(UART_GetChar() != BOOT_CMD_ACK)              {                SlaveFrequencyCalibration();              }                                        #endif 本版代码为:         #if BOOTLOADER_AUTO_TRIMMING == 1                         SlaveFrequencyCalibration();                     #endif 修改为上版代码,可以正常运行并跑起来。 但是不使能BOOTLOADER_AUTO_TRIMMING这个宏,代码依旧跑不起来,现象就是仿真时没有问题,可以正常跑起来,但是如果是上电直接运行,就不能正常通讯: 这个问题出在了USB插拔瞬间,KL25会收到一个数据,该数据并不是上位机下发的FC码,如果不使能BOOTLOADER_AUTO_TRIMMING这个宏,代码会误认为自己进入 等待上位机下发数据的状态机,导致通讯错误。在SlaveFrequencyCalibration(); 函数中,有软件复位功能,会让插拔稳定后KL25不在接收到异常数据,以此保证状态机的正确。 问题4: 仿真时全速跑起来时,指针经常回到__main,说明波特率有问题,代码进入SlaveFrequencyCalibration中,复位了。 AN2295引导MQX Keil工程 AN2295的文档已经说明如何修改CW IAR的工程以便让Bootlaoder引导,但是没有Keil工程的说明,这个就只能自己动手啦。 首先肯定会想到修改scf文件: #define USERFLASH_BASE_ADDR    0x00060000 #define INTFLASH_BASE_ADDR     0x00000000 #define INTFLASH_SIZE          (USERFLASH_BASE_ADDR - INTFLASH_BASE_ADDR) #define MY_ALIGN(address, alignment) ((address + (alignment-1)) AND ~(alignment-1)) LOAD_REGION_INTFLASH INTFLASH_BASE_ADDR INTFLASH_SIZE {     VECTORS INTFLASH_BASE_ADDR     {         vectors.o (.vectors_rom,+FIRST)         vectors.o (.cfmconfig)     }     CODE +0     {         * (InRoot$$Sections)      ; All library sections for example, __main.o,                                   ; __scatter*.o, __dc*.o, and * Region$$Table         * (KERNEL)         * (TEXT)         * (+RO)     }     RAM_VECTORS 0x1FFF0000 ; For ram vector table. Used when  MQX_ROM_VECTORS is set to zero.     {         vectors.o (.vectors_ram)     }     NOUSER +0     {         * (.nouser)     }     ROUSER MY_ALIGN(ImageLimit(NOUSER), 32)     {         * (.rouser)     }     RWUSER MY_ALIGN(ImageLimit(ROUSER), 32)     {         * (.rwuser)     }     DATA MY_ALIGN(ImageLimit(RWUSER), 32)     {         * (+RW)         * (+ZI)     }     USB_BDT MY_ALIGN(ImageLimit(DATA), 512)     {         * (.usb_bdt)     }     KERNEL_DATA_START MY_ALIGN(ImageLimit(USB_BDT), 0x10)     {         * (KERNEL_DATA_START)     ; start of kernel data     }     KERNEL_DATA_END 0x2000FFF0      ; RAM_END     {         * (KERNEL_DATA_END)     ; end of kernel data     }     ; mem_init writes a storeblock_struct at the end of kernel data,     ; max size 32 bytes, so use 0x100 offset     BOOT_STACK_ADDR 0x2000FEF0     {         * (BOOT_STACK)     } } 都是按偏移算的,应该只改INTFLASH_BASE_ADDR     0x00004000就O了,找了个最简单的工程:mqx\examples\hello,编译生成S19文件,通过bootloader下载进片子, 按reset后看屏幕,始终木有出现hello world,没办法,只能上debug了。 打开AN2295工程,加载调试环境,然后在JumpToUserApplication函数上下断点,中断后,单步执行到在__asm("mov pc, r1"); 函数,继续在汇编窗口点单步执行,之后就完全跟crack有点类似,一直点,直到芯片复位,说明之前点那一下是key point,然后对照map文件,于是找到了复位点: init_hardware->_bsp_initialize_hardware->_bsp_watchdog_disable();执行后会复位 不管啦,直接把它屏蔽掉,反正之前就已经关闭看门狗了。 重新编译,继续上。 还是没看到期待已久的hello world,肿么办? 重复上面的方法,发现又一个key point: _sched_start_internal 查看代码发现,这是一个系统call,应该是从vector 11调用的,查看下寄存器: SCB_VTOR 肿么变成0了,bootloader中已经改成0x4000了,什么时候变成0了....... 代码太多了,不知道从哪儿看起,内存断点是个好东西哈,IAR中没找见在哪儿下,算了,换Keil吧。 用Keil打开AN2295工程,加载调试,然后在0xE000ED08(SCB_VTOR )下写断点,直接run,等待中断吧: _time_set_timer_vector函数修改了SCB_VTOR, 大概路径是_bsp_enable_card->BSP_INTERRUPT_VECTOR_TABLE->BSP_TIMER_INTERRUPT_VECTOR 哈哈,找代码看看: __VECTOR_TABLE_ROM_START 是这个宏搞的鬼。 仔细对比代码,发现__VECTOR_TABLE_ROM_START 这个宏是通过条件编译区分开的,IAR是通过icf文件定义的 而Keil是通过#define 来实现的。好了,修改对应的值为0x4000,重新编译,下载,搞定,可以看到hello world喽。 总结一下,使用AN2295引导MQX Keil工程需要做以下3点修改: 1.scf文件INTFLASH_BASE_ADDR     0x00000000改为0x00004000 2.屏蔽_bsp_watchdog_disable()该函数 3.修改__VECTOR_TABLE_ROM_START为0x00004000.

在电机控制,Audio等很多应用中,我们经常会用到一些常见的正余弦,矩阵变换,FFT等一些DSP函数,提到DSP库,通常会想到使用ARM 公司提供的 CMSIS 库。CMSIS 库是ARM和一些半导体厂家针对Cortex-M系列制定的一套接口标准,包括针对内核操作的CMSIS-CORE API,针对DSP应用的CMSIS-DSP Library,针对RTOS的CMSIS-RTOS API,与外设接口的CMSIS-SVD以及提供Debug访问接口的CMSIS-DAP。 其中,又以DSP应用的CMSIS-DSP 库的应用最为广泛。针对Cortex-M4中的DSP功能,CMSIS-DSP部分提供了超过60多种功能的DSP算法库,尤其是随着Cortex-M4中集成了FPU硬件单元,CMSIS-DSP 库的应用也越来越广泛。 在KEIL 和IAR中都集成了对CMSIS的支持,然而在CodeWarrior中没有直接支持CMSIS,需要用户移植到自己的CW工程中,所以就需要使用者了解CMSIS的结构,手动添加库文件和头文件,并完成一些重要的编译参数配置。特别是有些芯片支持FPU浮点运算单元,有些不支持,在配置选项上差别很大。在飞思卡尔Kinetis系列芯片中,FPU浮点运算单元也是一个可选的部件,只有在名称中带有FN和FX的芯片才支持FPU硬件浮点功能,如MK60FN1M0, MK60FX512。本文档分别介绍在使用和不使用FPU的情况下如何一步步移植CMSIS的DSP库到自己的CodeWarrior工程中。 需要注意的是 FPU 单元是指的芯片上的一个独立于 CPU 处理的浮点运算单元,整个单元在大多数厂家的芯片中都是可以被使能和关闭的。相对于芯片,编译器也设置了相应的 FPU 功能开启/关闭的选项,在编译时需要告诉编译器是否开启 FPU 功能。编译器一旦开启 FPU 功能,在处理单精度浮点运算的语句时就会用带 V-开头的汇编指令进行编译。如果编译器使能了 FPU 功能,而芯片未开启 FPU 单元,程序运行到浮点语句时就会出现异常。相反,如果编译器未使能 FPU 功能,芯片即使开启了 FPU单元,程序还是会按照未使能 FPU 的代码进行处理。在本例程中,为对比分析是否采用FPU的编译指令差别以及在板的执行效率,选用Kinetis K70FN1M为实验对象。 硬件平台:TWR-K70F120M核心板      软件环境:CodeWarrior v10.5        CMSIS版本 :V3.2 一. 准备工作: 下载CMSIS的库,当前最新的版本为V3.2,解压后名称为CMSIS-SP-00300-r3p2-00rel1,其目录结构如下图。分别包含CMSIS-DSP, CMSIS-RTOS和CMSIS-SVD的库文件。在本Cortex M4的CMSIS-DSP的应用中,真正用到的文件包括CMSIS\Include中CM4相关的头文件,CMSIS\Lib\GCC文件夹中的库文件libarm_cortexM4l_math.a(软浮点)和libarm_cortexM4lf_math.a(硬浮点),以及Device\ARM\ARMCM4\include中外设访问相关的两个头文件。 二. 不使用K70的FPU浮点运算单元,移植CMSIS的DSP库到CW的步骤;      Step 1:    新建一个Baremental的工程,选择器件器件MK70FN1M0(支持硬件FPU);     Step 2:    选择Floating Point浮点运算实现的类型,即指定编译器将C代码编译成汇编代码时使用的规则; 在Floating Point四个选项含义如下: Software选项:表示不使用FPU硬件,而是使用GCC的整数算术运算来模拟浮点运算; Handware(-mfloat –abi=hard) 选项:表示使用FPU硬件来进行浮点运算,函数的参数直接传递到FPU的寄存器(s0-d0)中; Handware(-mfloat –abi=softfp)选项:表示使用FPU硬件来进行浮点运算,但是函数的参数传递到整数寄存器(r0-r3)中,然后再传递到FPU中; Handware(-mfloat –abi=softfp –fshort -double)选项:其配置项同上,只不过使能了fshort  double功能,并且此处的double数据的宽度等同于float; 有兴趣研究各个选项意义的可以参考CW for MCU技术文档的第3章,在本例程中使用的是软浮点,所以选择Software项。需要注意的是:此配置选项仅出现支持FPU硬件单元的芯片工程中,如MK60FN1M0, MK60FX512等,否则默认没有此选项,默认为软件浮点。 Step 3:    点击“Next”进入下图,选择使用Processor Expert,点击“Finish“完成工程的建立; Step 4:    进入当前工程的文件夹,新建文件夹CMSIS,从之前在准备步骤解压的CMSIS文件包\...\CMSIS-SP-00300-r3p2-00rel1\CMSIS中拷贝Include和Lib文件夹到当前工程新建的CMSIS文件夹。另外,拷贝\...\CMSIS-SP-00300-r3p2-00rel1\Device\ARM\ARMCM4\Include中的ARMCM4.h和system_ARMCM4.h到当前工程新建的CMSIS文件夹中; Step 5:    回到CodeWarrior主界面选择新建的工程文件,F5刷新可以看到CMSIS出现在工程文件中。其中Include是CMSIS库的一些头文件,包括M0+/M3/M4的一些头文件;在Lib文件中是已经编译好的库文件,ARM文件夹是使用在KEIL IDE中的库文件,G++文件夹是使用在IAR中的库文件,而由于当前CW工程使用的GCC的编译器,所以GCC文件夹才是CW需要的,因此,为缩减工程大小可以删除ARM和G++文件夹;     Step 6:    打开工程属性框,选择Target Processor的Float ABI为No FPU; Step 7:    在GCC Complier的Defined symbols中添加编译的宏定义ARM_MATH_CM4; Step 8:    在GCC Complier的Include paths中添加CMSIS库的头文件,路径为:工程目录\CMSIS\Include; Step 9:    在GCC C Linker的Miscellaneous项的Other objects中指定使用的库文件(位于CMSIS\Lib\GCC文件夹中)。因为本例程中不使用FPU,所以选择libarm_cortexM4l_math.a,此处需要特别注意,否则编译会报错; Step 10: 在ProcessorExpert.c文件中添加代码; #include <math.h> #include "arm_math.h" #define DELTA    (0.000001f) const float32_t testRefOutput_f32 = 1.000000000; const float32_t radians=1.047197533333333; float32_t  cosOutput, sinOutput, diff; float32_t cosSquareOutput,sinSquareOutput,testOutput; int main(void) {   int m,n;   PE_low_level_init();   cosOutput = arm_cos_f32(radians); /*求正余弦*/                   sinOutput = arm_sin_f32(radians);                                 arm_mult_f32(&cosOutput, &cosOutput, &cosSquareOutput, 1); /*求积运算*/   arm_mult_f32(&sinOutput, &sinOutput, &sinSquareOutput, 1);               arm_add_f32(&cosSquareOutput, &sinSquareOutput, &testOutput, 1); /*求和运算*/   diff = fabsf(testRefOutput_f32 - testOutput);  /* 求绝对值 */                 if(diff > DELTA)   {                         while(1)                                 {                                   for(m=0;m<2000;m++)                                                 for(n=0;n<200;n++){};                                                 D7_NegVal();                                 }     }                 } Step 11:    编译并下载Debug,在  sinOutput = arm_sin_f32(radians);处设置断点,可以看到CMSIS-DSP库中的正余弦浮点数运算函数运算正常,其反汇编的得到为普通的ARM指令(FPU 单元汇编指令通常在普通指令前加字母V,仅在 FPU 功能被使能时使用),完成一个正弦计算; 至此,完成了不使用K70的FPU浮点运算单元,移植CMSIS的DSP库到CW的步骤。     三.     使用K70的FPU浮点运算单元,移植CMSIS的DSP库到Codewarrior的步骤 使用K70的FPU硬件浮点运算单元,移植CMSIS的DSP库到Codewarrior的方法有两种:一种是按照上面软浮点的方式Step By Step的建立工程,步骤和上面二的步骤基本一致,主要的两个区别在于:(1). Step 2要选择Handware(-mfloat –abi=hard) 选项,(2). Step 9 改为libarm_cortexM4lf_math.a。另外一种就是在上面工程的基础上修改配置选项。鉴于方便,本教程采用第二种方案,完成在Codewarrior中调用CMSIS的DSP库,通过K70的FPU浮点运算单元执行浮点运算,即硬浮点。 Step 1:    打开工程属性对话框,选择Target Processor的Float ABI为FPU with hard vfp passing(-mfloat –abi=hard); Step 2:    在GCC Complier的Defined symbols中添加编译的宏定义:_VFPV4; Step 3: 在GCC C Linker的Libraries项的library search path中指定链接的规则,把上面工程中默认的"${MCUToolsBaseDir}/ARM_GCC_Support/ewl/lib/armv7e-m"修改为 "${MCUToolsBaseDir}/ARM_GCC_Support/ewl/lib/armv7e-m/fpu"; Step 4:    在GCC C Linker的Miscellaneous项的Other objects中指定使用的库文件(位于CMSIS\Lib\GCC文件夹中)。因为本例程中使用FPU,所以选择libarm_cortexM4lf_math.a,此处需要特别注意,否则编译会报错; Step 5:    完成以上配置后,编译工程并下载调试(此处建议编译之前先Clean一下整个工程),同样,在  sinOutput = arm_sin_f32(radians);处设置断点,可以看到CMSIS-DSP库中的正余弦浮点数运算函数运算正常,其反汇编的得到为FPU指令(FPU指令通常是指在普通指令前加字母V,仅在 FPU功能被使能时使用),并且在Register观察窗口中也多了个FPU寄存器列表,感兴趣的读者可以对比一下和前面实验汇编出代码的差异,此处不再赘述; 至此,分别完成了使用和不适用K70的FPU浮点运算单元情况下, CMSIS的DSP库到Codewarrior的移植。在实际应用中需要用到更多的DSP函数,在项目中直接调用即可。下一步, Just Enjoy The Convenience of  The CMSIS! 有一点需要说明的是,前文中讲到使用FPU单元需要两步设置:(1). 在编译器中开启相应的 FPU 功能选项;(2). 开启芯片FPU 单元。似乎我们前面的设置是完成了第一个步骤,然而第二个步骤呢?仔细查看_arm_atart.c文件,可以发现代码_fp_init()正是完成了开启芯片FPU单元的过程,如下图,是一个条件编译函数,这也就解释了为什么在上面Step 2中定义了_VFPV4,其本质也就是使能芯片的FPU单元,其具体实现可以查看ARM手册的第74页的描述。 #ifdef   __VFPV4__        //Step 2中的宏定义                 __fp_init();      // 开启芯片的FPU单元 #endif

       上篇详细的介绍了加密锁定Kinetis的一种方法,本篇再接再厉,给大家再介绍一种加密方法(哎,这点家底都晒出来了)。当然实际上原理还是不变的,即还是通过修改0x400~0x40F地址段的内容来实现加密锁定,万变不离其宗,所谓殊途同归罢了,下面好戏登台:        既然实现security最终都是改写寄存器加载段flash地址的内容,那实际上修改flash内容的方式还是灵活多变的,方案一中提到的在中断向量表的最后添加flash配置信息只是其中一种,那还有哪些呢?还是不摆谱了,小心被拍砖,哈哈。不错,那就是通过在指定地址定义常量的方法,当然定义常量大家都会用到(有些应用譬如LCD显示的字模或者一些固定的查找表为节省RAM空间我们一般会选择定义const常量的方法将它们存放到flash空间中),但是指定地址的存放方式用的会少些(一般都是让编译器自动分配的),如果我们非要指定地址呢(哎,强迫症又开始了,呵呵),即将flash配置信息作为常量强制指定存放到0x400起始的地址,那岂不是跟方案一有了异曲同工之妙了,好吧,这样的话那就该“@”这位老兄上场了(咳咳,可不是给单片机发email啊,呵呵),相信很多人到此处就都明白了。下面我仍然以IAR环境下锁定K60为例,简单介绍下方案二的使用步骤: 1. 打开待加密工程中的main.c文件,在其中的main函数之前以添加如下图所示常量定义,即将FlashConfig数据组数据存放到“.flashConfig”段中,其中FlashConfig[11]即为0x40C地址: 2. 至于这个.flashConfig段属性是需要在与该工程匹配的IAR连接文件(.icf文件)中人为添加定义的,如下图所示,需要添加三个部分,然后保存: 3. 前两步完成之后,其实需要添加的部分就已经完成了,但是还有特别重要的两点需要注意,这里我加红注释一下,如下: (1)采用方案二的情况,需要确保vectors.c中中断向量表最后的16个字节没有被添加,即不能有4个CONIFG_x配置信息的,否则会出现编译错误,因为这就涉及到两者冲突的问题,也就是说在采用方案一的话就不能采用方案二,同理,采用方案二的话也不能采用方案一,总之两者不能同存; (2)还需要考虑编译器优化的问题,因为我们在.flashConfig段定义了常量,但是在代码程序里却没有使用它,这种情况下编译器会直接把这段常量优化掉,所以我们做的工作算是白做了,即使我们在IAR的优化等级中设置成low或者none都不行,因为人家编译器认死理儿,反正你也没有使用它,我就是怕它pass掉,这下子伤心了,呵呵。还好IAR给我们留了条后路,在options->Linker->Input选项卡中提供了Keep symbol功能,如下图,将FlashConfig添加进去即可强制编译不优化它,这样目的就达到了,呵呵,看来还是天无绝人之路啊有木有。 3. 编译通过,下载调试,程序下载之后同样会出现进入不到调试窗口的现象,这个是正常现象,因为这个时候芯片就已经被security了,这样就可以放心量产了,呵呵~       希望这两篇系列文章能对大家有所帮助,enjoy it~

       所谓“知识产权保护”,其实就是在产品量产之后防止其芯片内部代码通过外部调试器被有效读取出来的手段,毕竟现在来说硬件电路是比较容易被复制的,如果软件再不设防的话,在山寨技术如此发达的今天(用发达来形容貌似不是很过分吧,呵呵)这个产品估计很快就会被淘汰了。        因为最近有很多客户问到关于Kinetis的加密锁定问题,所以我觉着还是有必要对其细说说的。其实飞思卡尔对于知识产权保护方面还是做了很大的功夫的,而且使用起来也是比较方便的(这点很重要),具体可以参考Kinetis的Reference Manual中Security这一章,这里我就以在IAR环境下锁定K60为例介绍一下使用方法: 1. 首先简单介绍一下原理,即如果将K60置于Security状态(即锁定状态),则是不能通过Debug接口或者EzPort接口对芯片内部flash有任何操作的(CPU还是可以正常读写flash的,也就是说程序还是可以正常运行的,只不过是不能被外部非法读取了),当然“mass erase”命令除外(我们平时在Jlink Command窗口中敲入的unlock Kinetis命令就是触发这个命令给芯片的),通过“mass erase”命令可以再次将芯片擦除到出厂状态(即unsecure解锁的过程),这样芯片就又可以正常使用了(方便用户之后的程序升级)。咳咳,不过不用担心,解锁之后的芯片其内部的flash已经被完全擦除掉变为空片状态,也就是说内部的代码已经没有了,所以。。。懂的。。。呵呵; 2. 说完Security的原理,下面再聊聊K60实现security的process。我们可以通过K60的FTFL_FSEC寄存器中的SEC位来设定芯片的security状态,如下图所示,芯片默认出厂状态SEC位是为10的,即非加密锁定的,而如果将SEC位设定为00、01或者11任何一种情况,则芯片都将处于锁定状态(这就是我们接下来要干的事了,呵呵)。这里可能会有人疑问,在这个寄存器在重新上电之后会保存内容吗,我只能说“咳咳,都能抢答了”,哈哈,这正是我下面要说的; 3. K60在flash中0x00000400~0x0000040F这16个字节范围的地址定义为寄存器加载地址(Flash配置区),如下图所示,而这其中0x0000040C的地址内容在芯片上电之后会被自动加载到FTFT_FSEC寄存器中,也就是说我们只需要在烧写程序的时候把相应数据写到该flash地址即可在上电之后对芯片进行加密锁定,由此实现加密锁定。 4. 好了,原理和process都说完了,准备工作就做好了,下面就撸胳膊抹袖子开工干活吧,呵呵。其实飞思卡尔已经为我们做好了相关工作,只不过我们平时因为用不到没有注意到罢了。我们打开IAR环境,然后导入需要加密的代码工程,再打开工程目录下cpu文件组中的vectors.c和vectors.h(如果你的工程架构类似于飞思卡尔官方的sample code的话就在这个路径下)。在vectors.h里的最后部分我们会看到4个config段(共16个字节大小),如下图1,这四个段就是定义了上述0x400~0x40F的内容,其中CONFIG_4中最后的0xfe即为0x40C地址的内容(注意ARM处理器默认是little end模式的,所以0x40C在低地址),0xfe表明SEC位为10,即非加密状态,这样如果我把该0x40C地址的内容改成0xfc、0xfd或者0xff任意一个都可以实现对芯片的加密锁定。至于该四个配置段定义是如何映射到K60的flash区中的呢,去vectors.c文件中中断向量表vector_table[]的最后看看就知道了,如下图2; 5. 这里我们选择将CONFIG_4内容由原来的0xfffffffe改成0xfffffffd即可,然后保存编译通过之后,在查看其生成的s19文件中可以看到如下图所示,即0x40C地址的内容被修改成了0xfd,这样烧写文件就搞定了; 6. 当然到这一步实际上还没有完,其实在IAR的新版本之后(IAR6.6之后),其自带的flashloader默认是把0x400~0x40F这段保护起来的(防止误操作对芯片意外的security),即使如上面所述修改好相应内容,在烧写的过程中flashloader也不会对这段地址的内容做任何擦除和写入。为此还需要再额外对IAR的flashloader进行配置,具体步骤如下: (1)进入Options->Debugger->Download,选择如下: (2)点击“OK”,然后系统会提示保存该修改后的flashloader配置,建议把自己修改好的.board文件保存到自己的工程目录下,方便以后直接调用该flashloader。 7. 至此全部设置就搞定了,点击编译连接,然后下载,即可把加密后的代码烧写到芯片的flash里面去了。注意如果我们点击调试按钮的话,一旦程序烧进去之后调试器会自动复位芯片,此时加密状态位会被load到FTFT_FSEC[SEC]位中,芯片的调试端口就会被停掉,所以这时进入不到调试界面,而是弹出错误窗口,不用担心,因为此时程序已经正确烧到芯片中,我们重新插拔电源之后会看到程序已经正常执行,而此时的芯片已经处于加密状态。当然如果我们想再进入调试模式调试芯片的话,一种是通过Jlink Command窗口解锁,如下图1,另一种是再次点击调试按钮,会弹出解锁窗口,点击解锁即可,如下图2。 图1 图2

    作者 Shaozhong Liang     YAFFS(Yet Another Flash File System)文件系统是专门针对NAND闪存设计的嵌入式文件系统。在YAFFS中,文件是以固定大小的数据块进行存储的,块的大小可以是512字节、1024字节或者2048字节。这种实现依赖于它能够将一个数据块头和每个数据块关联起来。每个文件(包括目录)都有一个数据块头与之相对应,数据块头中保存了ECC(Error Correction Code)和文件系统的组织信息,用于错误检测和坏块处理。     YAFFS在文件进行改写时总是先写入新的数据块,然后删除旧的数据块,这样即使意外掉电,丢失的也只是这一次修改数据的最小写入单位,从而实现了掉电保护,保证了数据完整性。 YAFFS是为NAND FLASH设计的,它作了以下的假设或定义。     NAND Flash是基于块(block)的,每一个Block大小相同,由整数个chunk组成。每一个Block可单独擦除。一页(page,或chunk)为Flash的分配单元。所有的访问(读或者写)都是基于页(或chunk)的。     当对NAND Flash编程时,只有二进制中的0被编程,而1则“不关心”。比如,一个字节包含的二进制数为1010,那么当编程1001,会导致这两个数的位与操作。结果为1000.这和NOR FLASH不同。     YAFFS 分别用块号和 chunk id 标示块和 chunk 。它将空块(填满0xFF)当作空闲块或者已擦除块。这样,格式化一个YAFFS分区等价于擦除所有未损坏的块。 因此YAFFS最少需要一些函数能够擦除块,读一个页,写一个页。 1. 直接接口(Direct Interface)的相关文件     仅需要提取少量文件。使用yaffs的直接接口,你不需要所有的文件。你实际需要的文件列在下面,其余文件不需要编译。 direct/yaffsfs.c yaffs_guts.c direct/yaffscfg.c yaffs_nand.c yaffs_tagsvalidity.c yaffs_checkptrw.c yaffs_qsort.c yaffs_tagscompat.c yaffs_ecc.c yaffs_packedtags2.c 2. YAFFS  存储设备     YAFFS对文件系统上的所有内容(比如正常文件,目录,链接,设备文件等等)都统一当作文件来处理,每个文件都有一个页面专门存放文件头,文件头保存了文件的模式、所有者id、组id、长度、文件名、Parent Object ID等信息。因为需要在一页内放下这些内容,所以对文件名的长度,符号链接对象的路径名等长度都有限制。前面说到对于NAND FLASH上的每一页数据,都有额外的空间用来存储附加信息,通常NAND驱动只使用了这些空间的一部分,YAFFS正是利用了这部分空间中剩余的部分来存储文件系统相关的内容。以512+16B为一个PAGE的NAND FLASH芯片为例,Yaffs文件系统数据的存储布局如下所示: 0 to 511 数据区域 512 to 515 YAFFS TAG 516 Data status byte 517 Block status byte 坏块标志位 518 to 519 YAFFS TAG 520 to 522 后256字节数据的ECC校验结果 523 to 524 YAFFS TAG 525 to 527 前256字节数据的ECC校验结果     可以看到在这里YAFFS一共使用了8个BYTE用来存放文件系统相关的信息(yaffs_Tags)。这8个Byte的具体使用情况按顺序如下: Bits Content 20 ChunkID,该page在一个文件内的索引号,所以文件大小被限制在2^20 PAGE 即512Mb 2 2 bits serial number 10 ByteCount 该page内的有效字节数 18 ObjectID 对象ID号,用来唯一标示一个文件 12 Ecc, Yaffs_Tags本身的ECC校验和 2 Unused     其中Serial Number在文件系统创建时都为0,以后每次写具有同一ObjectID和ChunkID的page的时候都加一,因为YAFFS在更新一个PAGE的时候总是在一个新的物理Page上写入数据,再将原先的物理Page删除,所以该serial number可以在断电等特殊情况下,当新的page已经写入但老的page还没有被删除的时候用来识别正确的Page,保证数据的正确性。 ObjectID号为18bit,所以文件的总数限制在256K即26万个左右。     由于文件系统的基本组织信息保存在页面的备份空间中,因此,在文件系统加载时只需要扫描各个页面的备份空间,即可建立起整个文件系统的结构,而不需要像JFFS1/2 那样扫描整个介质,从而大大加快了文件系统的加载速度。     一个YAFFS设备是一个逻辑设备,它代表了一个物理设备的部分或整体。你可以认为它是一个Nand上的一个“分区”。比如,该分区可能覆盖整个NAND,也许只是一半,而另外一半就是另一个Yaffs_Device.它也可以用于你使用一个非flash设备(比如RAM)来测试的情况下。 一个Yaffs_Device记录了起始和结束块。通过改变它的起始和结束块,你就可以在同一个物理设备上使用不止一个的Yaffs_Device。 这里将需要你自己建立的Yaffs_Device结构的数据域列出,其他数据域由Yaffs自动创建。 int nDataBytesPerChunk     如其名,这是每一个chunk的字节数,还记得吧,在yaffs术语中,一个页就是一个chunk,因而它也是一页的字节数。它是数据字节数,即不包含OOB的数据。比如一页时2048字节+64字节的OOB,那么数值nDataBytesPerChunk为2048。 int nChunksPerBlock     物理Nand设备中每页包含的chunk(就是Nand上的页)的数目,最少是2。 int spareBytesPerChunk     空闲域(spare area)大小,比如:每个chunk(页)的OOB字节数。 int startBlock     该逻辑Yaffs_Device设备第一个块的块号(而字节地址),注意,yaffs需要第一个块是空闲的,因此你不可以设置该变量为0,如果设置为0,Yaffs会给它加1,并且会在结束块号上也加1,在你设置设备从块0开始,到最后一个块结束,这意味着yaffs试图写一个不存在的块,从而出现错误。 int endBlock     该逻辑Yaffs_Device设备的最后一个块号。如果startBlock为0,那么yaffs会使用endBlock+1,至少使startBlock+nReservedBlocks+2 int nReservedBlocks     这是YAFFS必须保留,用于垃圾回收和块错误恢复的可擦除块的数目。至少是2,但是5更好。如果你使用一个不会损坏的介质,比如RAM或者RAM盘,或者主机文件系统模拟,那么可以是2。 int nShortOpCaches     配置当前设备YAFFS Cache项的数目。0值表示不使用cache。对于大多数系统,推荐使用10到20之间的一个数值。不能大于YAFFS_MAX_SHORT_OP_CACHES定义的数值。 int useNANDECC     这是一个标志,用于指示是由yaffs执行ECC计算,还是由NAND驱动程序来执行ECC计算。(译者注:此数值取0,则使用yaffs来执行ECC计算,软件ECC计算。如果想要使用硬件ECC校验时,应该设置为1,并且在NAND驱动程序中加入硬件ECC校验的代码。) void *genericDevice     这是一个指针,它应该指向任何数据,底层NAND驱动程序需要知道以从物理设备读、写。 int isYaffs2     我们使用的是否YAFFS2版本? int inbandTags     是否为OOB区,如果不是,那么它为真,仅用于yaffs2 u32 totalBytesPerChunk     这个名字可能有点误导人,它应该等于nDataBytesPerChunk ,而非其名字暗示的nDataBytesPerChunk + spareBytesPerChunk。如果inbandTags为真,那么yaffs设置nDataBytesPerChunk,因此有足够的空闲空间存储数据,yaffs会在空闲域中正常存储。 write/readChunkWithTagsFromNAND, markNANDBlockBad queryNANDBlock 这些都是函数指针,你需要提供这些函数来给YAFFS,读写nand flash。 3.NAND Flash 访问函数 int (*writeChunkWithTagsToNAND) (struct yaffs_DeviceStruct * dev, int chunkInNAND, const u8 * data, const yaffs_ExtendedTags * tags);   dev: 要写入的yaffs_Device逻辑设备. chunkInNAND: 将chunk写入的页 Data: 指向需要写入的数据的指针 tags: 未压缩(打包)的OOB数据 Return: YAFFS_OK / YAFFS_FAIL 该函数将页(chunk)写入nand中,向nand中写入数据。数据和标签(tags)永远不应为 NULL. chunkInNand 是将要写入的页的页号,而不是需要转换的地址。 int (*readChunkWithTagsFromNAND) (struct yaffs_DeviceStruct * dev, int chunkInNAND, u8 * data, yaffs_ExtendedTags * tags);  dev: 要写入的yaffs_Device逻辑设备. chunkInNAND: 将chunk读入的页 Data: 指向需要读入的数据的缓冲区指针 tags: 指向未压缩(打包)的OOB数据的缓冲区指针 Return: YAFFS_OK / YAFFS_FAIL 该函数执行上一个函数的相反的功能,首先,读取数据和OOB字节,接着将这些输入放在一个由参数data指向的缓冲区中 int (*markNANDBlockBad) (struct yaffs_DeviceStruct * dev, int blockNo);   dev: 要写入的yaffs_Device逻辑设备. blockNo: 要标记的块. Return: YAFFS_OK / YAFFS_FAIL int (*queryNANDBlock) (struct yaffs_DeviceStruct * dev, int blockNo, yaffs_BlockState * state, u32 *sequenceNumber);   dev: 要写入的Yaffs_Device逻辑设备. blockNo: 要标记的块. state: Upon returning this should be set to the relevant state of this particular block. Sequance number: 该块的顺序号(The Sequence number),为0表示此块未使用 Return: YAFFS_OK / YAFFS_FAIL     它应检查一个块是否是有效的。如果在OOB中设置了坏块标记,那么*state应该被赋值为YAFFS_BLOCK_STATE_DEAD,*sequenceNumber赋值为0,然后返回YAFFS_FAIL。     如果该块没坏,那么应解压缩标签。标签解压缩后,若发现chunk已使用(查看tags.chunkUsed),则*sequenceNumber应赋值为tags.sequenceNumber,*state赋值为YAFFS_BLOCK_STATE_NEEDS_SCANNING,否则该块未使用,则*sequenceNumber赋值为0,*state赋值为YAFFS_BLOCK_STATE_EMPTY 4. YAFFS的缓存机制     由于NandFlash是有一定的读写次数的,所以在对一个文件进行操作的时候往往是先通过缓冲进行,对最后一次性写入NandFlash,这有效的减少了用户对NandFlash的频繁操作,延长了NandFlash的寿命。下面大致说一下YAFFS的缓存机制: 4.1.首先在yaffs_mount的时候会对yaffs_dev这个结构体进行注册,和缓冲部分相关的有: dev->nShortOpCaches//这个变量决定了有多少个缓冲,因为缓冲会大量的占用堆栈的空间,所以在yaffs不建议缓冲的数量很大,即使你填一个很大的数,系统也不会超过YAFFS_MAX_SHORT_OP_CACHES的总数。 yaffs_ChunkCache *srCache;//缓冲区的首地址,dev->srCache = YMALLOC( dev->nShortOpCaches * sizeof(yaffs_ChunkCache));下面介绍一下缓冲区这个结构体的组成: typedef struct { struct yaffs_ObjectStruct *object;//一个缓冲区对应一个文件 int chunkId; int lastUse; //通过lastUse来 int dirty; //标志了这一个缓冲区是否被使用 int nBytes; __u8 data[YAFFS_BYTES_PER_CHUNK];//数据区 } yaffs_ChunkCache; 4.2.什么时候用到缓冲区?        用到缓冲区最多的地方显而易见是对已经创建的文件进行写操作。而且是需要写的大小和512不一致的时候,这是因为如果是刚好512的话,系统会直接写入NandFlash中。对于小于512的系统首先会调用yaffs_FindChunkCache(in,chunk)这个函数来判断in这个object是否在缓冲区中存在。如果存在会调用已有缓冲区进行操作。当然如果是第一次对一个object进行操作,肯定在缓冲区中是不存在对应它的空间的,因此系统会调用yaffs_GrabChunkCache函数为此次操作分配一个缓冲区。 5. 应用层接口     YAFFS为连接的应用程序提供了一组函数。大部分跟标准C库函数,如open/close一致,只是增加了yaffs_前缀,如 yaffs_open. 这些函数定义在direct/yaffsfs.h中。     初始化yaffs来完成读写,你必须在每个你要使用的yaffs设备上调用yaffs_mount。比如yaffs_mount(”/boot”)。这可以在系统启动的时候执行,如果存在一个操作系统,那么程序需要考虑这点。在你完成使用的时候,你也需要调用yaffs_umount函数,这样yaffs就会将它需要状态写入磁盘。 如果读写文件的应用层接口已经存在,你可以根据相关的操作系统调用来封装相关的函数调用。 1 yaffs_mount( ) 功能说明:加载指定器件。 输入参数:path    要加载的器件。 输出参数:无。 返回值: 表明加载的状态。 调用的函数:yaffsfs_FindDevice( )、yaffs_GutsInitialise( )。 2 yaffs_open( ) 功能说明:按照指定方式打开文件。 输入参数:path    文件的绝对路径;           Oflag   打开的方式;           Mode    文件许可模式。 输出参数:无。 返回值:句柄。 调用的函数:yaffsfs_GetHandle( )、yaffsfs_FindDirectory( )、yaffs_MknodFile( )、yaffsfs_PutHandle( )、yaffs_ResizeFile( )、yaffsfs_FindObject( )。 3 yaffs_write( ) 功能说明:根据打开文件的句柄,从指定数组处读指定字节写入文件中。 输入参数:fd      要写入的文件的句柄;           Buf     要写入的数据的首地址;           Nbyte   要写入的字节数。 输出参数:无。 返回值: 写入了的字节数。 调用的函数:yaffs_WriteDataToFile( )、yaffsfs_GetHandlePointer( )、yaffsfs_GetHandleObject( ) 4 yaffs_read( ) 功能说明:根据打开文件的句柄,从文件中读出指定字节数据存入指定地址。 输入参数:fd       要读出的文件的句柄;           Buf      读出文件后要存入的数据的首地址;           Nbyte    要读出的字节数。 输出参数:无。 返回值: 读出了的字节数。 调用的函数:yaffs_ReadDataFromFile( )、yaffsfs_GetHandlePointer( ) 5 yaffs_close( ) 功能说明:关闭已经打开的文件句柄,yaffs 有缓冲机制,当调用yaffs_close()关闭文件之后能够保证将内容写入nandflash。 输入参数:fd    需要关闭的文件的句柄; 输出参数:无。 返回值:无。 6. YAFFS在MQX的应用案例     YAFFS提供了直接调用模式,可以方便移植到 none-OS或者light-weighted OS中。附件是将YAFFS移植到Freescale MQX实时操作系统的源代码和工程,可以在II型集中器的Demo Board上运行。     初步的测试表明YAFFS工作正常,能够完成创建目录,创建/删除文件,读/写文件操作等。 YAFFS非常适合none-OS或者是light-weighted OS,使用YAFFS需要关注的是RAM的消耗,适合小量文件(<20)。 如果不想使用MQX默认的MFS(FAT32文件系统),YAFFS可以作为一个文件系统的备选方案。
