RT1050 Boundary Scan test based on lauterbach 1. Abstract Boundary Scan is a method of testing interconnections on circuit boards or internal sub-blocks of circuits. You can also debug and observe the pin status of the integrated circuit, measure the voltage or analyze the sub-modules inside the integrated circuit, and test based on the JTAG interface. NXP officials have provided two good application notes: AN13507 (LPC) and AN12919 (RT). Based on the reference application note test method, this article provides the boundary scan test results for NXP MIMXRT1050-EVK revA1. It can use Lauterbach to connect the chip and perform boundary scan to control the external pins. A script file is also provided. It can realize one-click connection to boundary scan and achieve level control of external pins. 2. RT1050 test details 2.1 Hardware platform Lauterbach:LA3050 MIMXRT1050-EVK rev A1 hardware modification point are as follows: (1)Modify fuse bit 0X460[19], which is DAP_SJC_SWD_SEL, from 0-SWD to 1-JTAG. To modify Fuse, you can enter serial download mode and use MCUbootUtility to connect and modify it. Fig 1 (2)DNP R38 ,R323,R309,R152,R303   (3)  JTAG_MODE connect to 3.3V= on board TP11 connect to J24_8 (4)R35 connect 100K resistor (5)ONOFF pin pull up external 100K resistor to 3.3V,board modification point is SW2 pin3 or pin4 connect 100K resistor and pull up to J24_8.    (6) disconnect J32,J33 which will disconnect the on board debugger, because this test need to use the external Lauterbach.    (7) Use the external Lauterbach connect to JTAG interface J21, the connection picture is:     Fig 2 2.2 Software operation Download Lauderbach's supporting software and install it. After installation, open the TRACE32 ICD Arm USB. If the Lauderbach device is connected, the interface will open successfully. Fig 3 At this time, you can enter the relevant commands in the yellow box in the picture above. Here you need to prepare the .bsdl file of the chip, which is usually placed on the chip introduction page of nxp.com. For example, the link to the bsdl file of RT1050 is https://www.nxp.com/downloads/en/bsdl/RT1050.bsdl You can copy the RT1050.bsdl file to the Lauderbach installation path: C:\T32 Next, enter the following command in the window to open the boundary scan window SYStem.Mode Down BSDL.RESet BSDL.ParkState Select-DR-Scan BSDL.state Here, it will open the window: Fig 4 Click FILE item, input the downloaded RT1050.bsdl , then in the window input the commander: BSDL.SOFTRESET     Fig 5 Click check->BYPASSall,IDCODEall,SAMPLEall, make sure the 3 methods can be passed. It is found here that the following problems are encountered when clicking IDCODEall:   Fig 6 It prompts that the IDCODE read is 188c301d, but the expected IDCODE is 088c301d. So what is the correct IDCODE? You can view RT1050RM:   Fig 7 It can be seen that the currently read 188c301d is in line with RM and is correct. Therefore, the version of bsdl downloaded from the official website needs to be modified. Open the RT1050.bsdl file:   Fig 8 Modify line 408 version from 0000 to 0001,Fig 8 is the modified result. Save, run the above commands again, we can see the current BYPASSall,IDCODEall,SAMPLEall connection result is:   Fig 9 Fig 10 Fig 11 To test the output control situation you need to do: BSDLSET 1.: instructions->EXTEXT, DR mode->Set Write, Filter data-> uncheck intern BSDL.state->Run: check SetAndRun, TwoStepDR,  Click RUN button. BSDLSET 1. Window, you can control the pin output status, eg, control GPIO_AD_B1_06 which is J22_2, control the output level: 1 high, 0 low.   Fig 12 2.3 Automation control command script As can be seen from Section 2.2, single-step operation requires manual typing of commands. In actual testing, the efficiency is very low, so scripting language can be used to directly implement automated command control. Below, we take RT1050 as an example to control the level of the onboard GPIO_AD_B1_06 and J22_2 pins, and use a multimeter to test the high and low levels. In this way, when the TRACE32 software is opened, you only need to open the script directly, enter the debug mode, run it to the end with one click, and view the board Just turn on the light and control the status. Script language, suffix .cmm, step: File->New Script, enter the following script command: ;system setup SYStem.Mode Down SYStem.CPU CortexM7 SYSTEM.CONFIG.DEBUGPORTTYPE JTAG SYStem.JtagClock 1MHz ;BSDL Settings BSDL.RESet BSDL.ParkState Select-DR-Scan BSDL.state ;configure boundary scan chain BSDL.FILE RT1050.bsdl ;Check boundary scan chain BSDL.SOFTRESET BSDL.BYPASSall BSDL.IDCODEall BSDL.SAMPLEall ;Perform Sample test BSDL.RUN BSDL.SetAndRun ON BSDL.TwoStepDR ON BSDL.SET 1. BSDL.SET 1. IR EXTEST BSDL.RUN BSDL.SET 1. PORT GPIO_AD_B1_06 0 BSDL.SET 1. PORT GPIO_AD_B1_06 1 BSDL.SET 1. PORT GPIO_AD_B1_06 0 WAIT 6.s BSDL.SET 1. PORT GPIO_AD_B1_06 1 WAIT 6.s BSDL.SET 1.

PORT GPIO_AD_B1_06 1 WAIT 2.s Function: Pull the GPIO_AD_B1_06 pin high and low 6 times, with no delay, delay 5s, delay 2s. After the script is written, save it and debug it.   Fig 13 This is the video for the testing: It can be seen that automatic control of the onboard GPIO_AD_B1_06 and J22_2 pins can be achieved, and there is no disconnection issue when the test delay is greater than 5S, indicating that the BSDL automatic test has been completed so far. If you encounter problems, be sure to pay attention to whether the hardware modification points of the board have been completely modified.   At last, thanks so much for my colleague @leilei_du  and @albert_li 's endless help!

Obtaining the footprint for Kinetis/LPC/i.MXRT part numbers is very straightforward using the Microcontroller Symbols, Footprints and Models Library homepage, on the following link: https://www.nxp.com/design/software/models/microcontroller-symbols-footprints-and-models:MCUCAD?tid=vanMCUCAD What some users may not be aware of is that the BXL file available for NXP Kinetis/LPC/i.MXRT part numbers also contain the 3D model of the package, which is often needed when working on the industrial design of your application. You may follow the steps below to export the 3D model of the package in STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) format using the Ultra Librarian software, which can be downloaded from the link on the models library homepage. A STEP (.step,stp) file stores the model in ASCII format. This format can be imported into many CAD suites that allow to work with 3D solids. First, obtain the BXL file for the part number you are interested in. In this example the MIMXRT1052CVL5B.blx.   Then, open the Ultra Librarian project and load this file using the “Load Data” button, and select the “3D Step Model” checkbox from the Select Tools options. Finally, select the Export to Select Tools option. Once the exporting process is finished, the step file will be available on the path UltraLibrarian/Library/Exported.  The STEP (.stp) file can be opened in CAD suites that support solid 3D objects, like FreeCAD which is open source.

RT10xx image reserve the APP FCB methods 1. Abstract     Regarding RT10XX programming, it is mainly divided into two categories: 1) Serial download mode with blhost proramming     To this method, we can use the MCUBootUtility tool, or blhost+elftosb+sdphost cmd method, we also can use the NXP SPT(MCUXpresso secure provisional Tool). This programming need to enter the serial download mode, then use the flashloader supported UART or the USB HID interface. 2) Use Programmer or debugger with flashdriver programming This method is usually through the SWD/JTAG download interface combined with the debugger + IDE, or directly software burning, the chip mode can be in the internal boot, or in the serial download mode, with the help of the flashloader to generate the flash burning algorithm file. Method 2, The burning method using the debugger tool usually ensures that the burning code is consistent with the original APP.     Method 1, Uses the blhost method to download, usually blhost will regenerate an FCB with a full-featured LUT to burn to the external flash, and then burn the app code with IVT, that is, without the FCB header of the original APP, and re-assemble a blhost generated FCB header and burn it separately. However, for some customers who need to read out the flash image and compare with the original APP image to check the difference after burning, the commonly used blhost method will have the problem of inconsistent FCB area matching. If the customer needs to use the blhost burning method in serial download mode, how to ensure that the flash image after burning is consistent with the original burning file? This article will take the MIMXRT1060-EVK development board as an example, and give specific methods for the command mode and SPT tool mode. 2 Blhost programming reserve APP FCB     From the old RT1060 SDK FCB file (below SDK2.12.0), evkmimxrt1060_flexspi_nor_config.c, we can see:   const flexspi_nor_config_t qspiflash_config = { .memConfig = { .tag = FLEXSPI_CFG_BLK_TAG, .version = FLEXSPI_CFG_BLK_VERSION, .readSampleClksrc=kFlexSPIReadSampleClk_LoopbackFromDqsPad, .csHoldTime = 3u, .csSetupTime = 3u, .sflashPadType = kSerialFlash_4Pads, .serialClkFreq = kFlexSpiSerialClk_100MHz, .sflashA1Size = 8u * 1024u * 1024u, .lookupTable = { // Read LUTs FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(CMD_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0xEB, RADDR_SDR, FLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x18), FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(DUMMY_SDR, FLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x06, READ_SDR, FLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x04), }, }, .pageSize = 256u, .sectorSize = 4u * 1024u, .blockSize = 64u * 1024u, .isUniformBlockSize = false, };   This FCB LUT just contains the basic read command, normally, to the app booting, the FCB just need to provide the read command to the ROM, then it can boot normally.     But what happens to the memory downloaded by blhost? Based on the MIMXRT1060-EVK development board, the following shows how to use the command line mode corresponding to blhost to burn the SDK led_blinky project app, and read out the corresponding flash burning code to analysis. 2.1 Normal blhost download command line    This command line also the same as MCUBootUtility download log, source code is attached rt1060 cmd.bat. elftosb.exe -f imx -V -c imx_application_gen.bd -o ivt_evkmimxrt1060_iled_blinky_FCB.bin evkmimxrt1060_iled_blinky.s19 sdphost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x1FC9,0x0135 -j -- write-file 0x20208200 ivt_flashloader.bin sdphost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x1FC9,0x0135 -j -- jump-address 0x20208200 blhost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- get-property 1 0 blhost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- get-property 24 0 blhost.exe -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- fill-memory 0x20202000 4 0xc0000007 word  //option 0 blhost.exe -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- fill-memory 0x20202004 4 0 word                 //option1 blhost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- configure-memory 9 0x20202000                    blhost -t 2048000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- flash-erase-region 0x60000000 0x8000 9 blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- fill-memory 0x20203000 4 0XF000000F word  blhost -t 50000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- configure-memory 9 0x20203000                    blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- write-memory 0x60001000 ivt_evkmimxrt1060_iled_blinky_FCB_nopadding.bin 9 blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- read-memory 0x60000000 0x8000 flexspiNorCfg.dat 9 The normal blhost programming is to use the cmd line method, and provide an app which is without the FCB header(Even app with the FCB, will exclude the FCB header at first), then use the elftosb.exe generate the app with IVT, eg ivt_evkmimxrt1060_iled_blinky_FCB_nopadding.bin, download the flashloader file ivt_flashloader to internal RAM, and jump to the flashloader, then use the fill-memory to fill option0, option1 to choose the proper external flash, and use the configure-memory to configure the flexSPI module, with the SFDP table which is got from get configure command, then fill the flexSPI LUT internal buffer. Next, fill-memory 0x20203000 4 0XF000000F associate with configure-memory will generate the full FCB header, burn it from flash address 0x60000000. At last, burn the app which contains IVT from flash address 0X60001000, until now, realize the whole app image programming. Pic 1 shows the comparison between the data read after programming and the original app data. It can be seen that the LUT of the FCB actually programmed on the left is not only contains read, but also contains read status, write enable, program and erase commands. The one on the right is the original app with FCB. The LUT of FCB only contains read commands for boot. So, if you want to keep the FCB header of the original APP instead of the header generated and burned by option0,1 configure-memory, how to do it? The method is that you can also use Option0, 1 to generate and fill in the LUT for flexSPI for communication use, but do not burn the corresponding generated FCB, just burn the FCB that comes with the original APP. pic1 2.2 Reuse option0 and option1 to program the original APP LUT The following command gives reuse option0 and option1, generates LUT and fills in flexSPI LUT for connection with external flash interface, but does not call:  fill-memory 0x20203000 4 0XF000000F and configure-memory 9 0x20203000, so that the generated FCB will not be burned to external memory.    Source file is attached rt1060 cmd_option01.bat. elftosb.exe -f imx -V -c imx_application_gen.bd -o ivt_evkmimxrt1060_iled_blinky_FCB.bin evkmimxrt1060_iled_blinky.s19 sdphost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x1FC9,0x0135 -j -- write-file 0x20208200 ivt_flashloader.bin sdphost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x1FC9,0x0135 -j -- jump-address 0x20208200 blhost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- get-property 1 0 blhost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- get-property 24 0 blhost.exe -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- fill-memory 0x20202000 4 0xc0000007 word blhost.exe -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- fill-memory 0x20202004 4 0 word blhost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- configure-memory 9 0x20202000 blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- read-memory 0x60000000 1024 flexspiNorCfg.dat 9 blhost -t 2048000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- flash-erase-region 0x60000000 0x8000 9 blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- read-memory 0x60000000 1024 flexspiNorCfg.dat 9 blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- write-memory 0x60000000 evkmimxrt1060_iled_blinky_FCB.bin 9 blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- read-memory 0x60000000 0x8000 flexspiNorCfg.dat 9 Pic 2 is the comparison between the read data after programming and the original programming data. It can be seen that the FCB programmed at this time is exactly the same as the original code FCB. Pic 2 2.3 use 1bit FCB file to configure LUT    The used file cfg_fdcb_RTxxx_1bit_sdr_flashA.bin is copied from MCUBOOTUtility: \NXP-MCUBootUtility-3.4.0\src\targets\fdcb_model . The configuration of Option0 and Option1 is usually for chips that can support SFDP table, but some flash chips cannot support SFDP table. At this time, you need to fill in the flexSPI LUT for the full LUT manually. The so-called full LUT command is not only read commands, but also supports erasing, program, etc. In this way, the flexSPI interface can be successfully connected to the external FLASH, and the corresponding functions of reading, erasing, and writing can be realized. Therefore, the method in this chapter is to use a single-line command, which is also a command supported by general chips, to enable the corresponding function of flexSPI, so it can complete the subsequent APP code programming.   Pic 3     We can see: 03H is read, 05H is read status register, 06H is write enable, D8H is the block 64K erase, 02H is the page program, 60H is the chip erase. This is the 1bit SPI method full function LUT command, which can realize the chip read, write and erase function.     The command line is, source file is attached rt1060 cmd_fdcb_1bit_sdr_flashA.bat: elftosb.exe -f imx -V -c imx_application_gen.bd -o ivt_evkmimxrt1060_iled_blinky_FCB.bin evkmimxrt1060_iled_blinky.s19 sdphost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x1FC9,0x0135 -j -- write-file 0x20208200 ivt_flashloader.bin sdphost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x1FC9,0x0135 -j -- jump-address 0x20208200 blhost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- get-property 1 0 blhost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- get-property 24 0 blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- write-memory 0x20202000 cfg_fdcb_RTxxx_1bit_sdr_flashA.bin blhost.exe -t 50000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- configure-memory 9 0x20202000 blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- read-memory 0x60000000 1024 flexspiNorCfg.dat 9 blhost -t 2048000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- flash-erase-region 0x60000000 0x8000 9 blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- read-memory 0x60000000 1024 flexspiNorCfg.dat 9 blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- write-memory 0x60000000 evkmimxrt1060_iled_blinky_FCB.bin 9 blhost -t 5242000 -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -j -- read-memory 0x60000000 0x8000 flexspiNorCfg.dat 9 In the command line, where option0,1 was previously filled in, instead of filling in the data of option0,1, the 512-byte Bin file of the complete FCB LUT command is directly given, and then the configure-memory command is used to configure the flashloader’s FlexSPI LUT with the FCB file. so that it can support read and write erase commands, etc. The comparison between the flash data and the original APP data when burning and reading is in the Pic 4, we can see, the readout data from the flash is totally the same as the original APP FCB. Pic 4 3,SPT program reserve APP FCB The NXP officially released MCUXPresso Secure Provisional Tool can support the function of retaining the customer's FCB, but the SPT tool currently uses the APP FCB to fill in the flashloader FlexSPI FCB. Therefore, if the customer directly uses the old SDK demo which just contains the read command in the LUT to generate an APP with FCB, then use the SPT tool to burn the flash, and choose to keep the customer FCB in the tool, you will encounter the problem of erasing failure. In this case, analyze the reason, we can know the FCB on the customer APP side needs to fill in the full FCB LUT command, that is, including reading, writing, erasing, etc. The following shows how the old original SDK led_blinky generates an image with an FCB header and writes it in the SPT tool. As you can see in Pic 5, the tool has information that if you use APP FCB, you need to ensure that the FCB LUT contains the read, erase, program commands. Pic 6 shows the programming situation of APP FCB LUT only including read. It has failed when doing erase. The reason is that there is no erase, program and other commands in the FlexSPI LUT command, so it will fail when doing the corresponding erasing or programming.   Pic 5 Pic 6 Pic 7 If you look at the specific command, as shown in Pic 7, you can find that the SPT tool directly uses the FCB header extracted from the APP image to flash the LUT of the flashloader FlexSPI, so there will be no erase and write commands, and it will fail when erasing. The following is how to fill in the LUT in the FCB of the SDK, open evkmimxrt1060_flexspi_nor_config.c, and modify the FCB as follows: const flexspi_nor_config_t qspiflash_config = {     .memConfig =         {             .tag              = FLEXSPI_CFG_BLK_TAG,             .version          = FLEXSPI_CFG_BLK_VERSION,             .readSampleClksrc=kFlexSPIReadSampleClk_LoopbackFromDqsPad,             .csHoldTime       = 3u,             .csSetupTime      = 3u,             .sflashPadType    = kSerialFlash_4Pads,             .serialClkFreq    = kFlexSpiSerialClk_100MHz,             .sflashA1Size     = 8u * 1024u * 1024u,             .lookupTable =                 {                   // Read LUTs                   FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(CMD_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0xEB, RADDR_SDR, FLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x18),                   FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(DUMMY_SDR, FLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x06, READ_SDR, FLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x04),                   // Read status                   [4*1] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(CMD_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x05, READ_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x04),                   //write Enable                   [4*3] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(CMD_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x06, STOP, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0),                   // Sector Erase byte LUTs                   [4*5] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(CMD_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x20, RADDR_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x18),                   // Block Erase 64Kbyte LUTs                   [4*8] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(CMD_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0xD8, RADDR_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x18),                    //Page Program - single mode                   [4*9] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(CMD_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x02, RADDR_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x18),                   [4*9+1] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(WRITE_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x04, STOP, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x0),                   //Erase whole chip                   [4*11] =FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(CMD_SDR, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x60, STOP, FLEXSPI_1PAD, 0),                                       },         },     .pageSize           = 256u,     .sectorSize         = 4u * 1024u,     .blockSize          = 64u * 1024u,     .isUniformBlockSize = false, }; Please note, after the internal SDK team modification, from SDK_2_12_0_EVK-MIMXRT1060, the evkmimxrt1060_flexspi_nor_config.c already add LUT cmd to the full FCB LUT function. Use the above FCB to generate the APP, then use the SPT tool to burn the app with customer FCB again, we can see, the programming is working now. Pic 8 In summary, if you need to reserve the customer FCB, you can use the above method, but if you use the SPT tool, you need to add read, write, and erase commands to the LUT of the code FCB to ensure that flexSPI successfully operates the external flash.

Introduction A common need for GUI applications is to implement a clock function.  Whether it be to create a clock interface for the end user's benefit, or just to time animations or other actions, implementing an accurate clock is a useful and important feature for GUI applications.  The aim of this document is to help you implement clock functions in your AppWizard project.   Methods When implementing a real-time clock, there are a couple of general methods to do so.   Use an independent timer in your MCU Using animation objects Each of these methods have their advantages and disadvantages.  If you just need a timer that doesn't require extra code and you don't require control or assurance of precision, or maybe you can't spare another timer, using an animation object (method #2) may be a good option in that application.  If your application requires an assurance of precision or requires other real-time actions to be performed that AppWizard can't control, it is best to implement an independent timer in your MCU (method #1).  Method 1:  Independent MCU Timer Implementing a timer via an independent MCU timer allows better control and guarantees the precision because it isn't a shared clock and the developer can adjust the interrupt priorities such that the timer interrupt has the highest priority.  AppWizard timing uses a common timer and then time slices activities similar to how an operating system works.  It is for this reason that implementing an independent MCU timer is best when you need control over the precision of the timer or you need other real-time actions to be triggered by this timer.  When implementing a timer using an independent MCU timer (like the RTC module), an understanding of how to interact with Text widgets is needed. Let's look at this first.   Interacting with Text Widgets Editing Text widgets occurs through the use of the emWin library API (the emWin library is the underlying code that AppWizard builds upon). The Text widget API functions are documented in the emWin Graphic Library User Guide and Reference Manual, UM3001.  Most of the Text widget API functions require a Text widget handle.  Be sure to not confuse this handle for the AppWizard ID.  Imagine a clock example where there are two Text widgets in the interface:  one for the minutes and one for the seconds.  The AppWizard IDs of these objects might be ID_TEXT_MINS and ID_TEXT_SECONDS respectively (again, these are not to be confused with the handle to the Text widget for use by emWin library functions).  The first action software should take is to obtain the handle for the Text widgets.   This can be done using the WM_GetDialogItem function.  The code to get the active window handle and the handle for the two Text widgets is shown below: activeWin = WM_GetActiveWindow(); textBoxMins = WM_GetDialogItem(activeWin, ID_TEXT_MINS); textBoxSecs = WM_GetDialogItem(activeWin, ID_TEXT_SECONDS);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Note that this function requires the handle to the parent window of the Text widget.  If your application has multiple windows or screens, you may need to be creative in how you acquire this handle, but for this example, the software can simply call the WM_GetActiveWindow function (since there is only one screen).  When to call these functions can be a bit tricky as well.  They can be called before the MainTask() function of the application is called and the application will not crash.  However, the handles won't be correct and the Text widgets will not be updated as expected.  It's recommended that these handles be initialized when the screen is initialized.  An example of how this would be done is shown below: void cbID_SCREEN_CLOCK(WM_MESSAGE * pMsg) { extern WM_HWIN activeWin; extern WM_HWIN textBoxMins; extern WM_HWIN textBoxSecs; extern WM_HWIN textBoxDbg; if(pMsg->MsgId == WM_INIT_DIALOG) { activeWin = WM_GetActiveWindow(); textBoxMins = WM_GetDialogItem(activeWin, ID_TEXT_MINS); textBoxSecs = WM_GetDialogItem(activeWin, ID_TEXT_SECONDS); textBoxDbg = WM_GetDialogItem(activeWin, ID_TEXT_DBG); } GUI_USE_PARA(pMsg); }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Once the Text widget handles have been acquired, the text can be updated using the TEXT_SetText() function or the TEXT_SetDec() function in this case, because the Text widgets are configured for decimal mode, since we want to display numbers.  An example of the code to do this is shown below.  /* TEXT_SetDec(Text Widget Handle, Value as Int, Length, Shift, Sign, Leading Spaces) */ if(TEXT_SetDec(textBoxSecs, (int)gSecs, 2, 0, 0, 0)) { /* Perform action here if necessary */ } if(TEXT_SetDec(textBoxMins, (int)gMins, 2, 0, 0, 0)) { /* Perform action here if necessary */ } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Method 2:  Animation Objects When implementing a real-time clock using animation objects, it is necessary to implement a loop.  This could be done outside of the AppWizard GUI (in your code) but because the timing precision can't be guaranteed, it's just as easy to implement a loop in the AppWizard GUI if you know how (it isn't very intuitive as to how to do this). Before examining the interactions to do this, let's look at the variables and objects needed to do this.  ID_VAR_SECS - This variable holds the current seconds value. ID_VAR_SECS_1 - This variable holds the next second value.  ID_TEXT_SECONDS - Text box that displays the current seconds value. ID_END_CNT - Variable that holds the value at which the seconds rolls over and increments the minute count ID_TEXT_MINS - Text box that holds the current minute count. ID_MIN_END_CNT - Variable that holds the value at which the minutes rolls over (which would also increment the hour count if the hours were implemented). ID_BUTTON_SECS - This is a hidden button that initiates actions when the seconds variable has reached the end count.  Now, here are the interactions used to implement the clock feature using animation interactions.  The heart of the loop are the interactions triggered by ID_VAR_SECS.  ID_VAR_SECS -> ID_VAR_SECS_1:  When ID_VAR_SECS changes, it needs to add one to ID_VAR_SECS_1 so that the animation will animate to one second from the current time. ID_VAR_SECS -> ID_TEXT_SECONDS:  When ID_VAR_SECS changes, it also needs to start the animation from the current value to the next second (ID_VAR_SECS_1). A very essential part of the loop is ensuring the animation restarts every time.  So ID_TEXT_SECONDS needs to change the value of ID_VAR_SECS when the animation ends. ID_VAR_SECS is changed to the current time value, ID_VAR_SECS_1. When the ID_TEXT_SECONDS animation ends, it must also decrement the ID_VAR_END_CNT variable.  This is analogous to the control variable of a "For" loop being updated. This is done using the ADDVALUE job, adding '-1' to the variable, ID_VAR_END_CNT. When ID_VAR_END_CNT changes, it updates the hidden button, ID_BUTTON_SECS, with the new value.  This is analogous to a "For" loop checking whether its control variable is still within its limits.   The interactions in group 5 are interactions that restart the loop when the seconds reach the count that we desire.  When the loop is restarted, the following actions must be taken: Set ID_VAR_SECS and ID_VAR_SECS_1 to the initial value for the next loop ('0' in this case).  Note that ID_VAR_SECS_1 MUST be set before ID_VAR_SECS.  Additionally, if the loop is to continue, ID_VAR_SECS and ID_VAR_SECS_1 must be set to the same value.   ID_TEXT_SECONDS is set to the initial value.  If this isn't done, then the text box will try to animate from the final value to the initial value and then will look "weird". ID_VAR_END_CNT is reset to its initial value (60 in this case).  ID_BUTTON_SECS is also responsible for updating the minutes values.  In this case, it's incrementing the ID_TEXT_MINS value (counting up in minutes) and decrementing the ID_VAR_MIN_END_CNT  Adjusting the time of an animation object The animation object (as well as other emWin objects) use the GUI_X_DELAY function for timing.  It is up to the host software to implement this function.  In the i.MX RT examples, the General Purpose Timer (GPT) is used for this timer.  So how the GPT is configured will affect the timing of the application and the how fast or slow the animations run. The GPT is configured in the function BOARD_InitGPT() which resides in the main source file.  The recommended way to adjust the speed of the timer is by changing the divider value to the GPT. Conclusion So we have seen two different methods of implementing a real-time clock in an AppWizard GUI application.  Those methods are: Use an independent timer in your MCU Using animation objects Using an independent timer in your MCU may be preferred as it allows for better control over the timing, can allow for real-time actions to be performed that AppWizard can't control, and provides some assurance of precision.  Using animation objects may be preferred if you just need a quick timer implementation that doesn't require you to manually add code to your project or use a second timer.

MCUXPRESSO SECURE PROVISIONING TOOL是官方今年上半年推出的一个针对安全的软件工具,操作起来非常的简单便捷而且稳定可靠,对于安全功能不熟悉的用户十分友好。但就是目前功能还不是很完善,只能支持HAB的相关操作,后续像BEE之类的需等待更新。 详细的介绍信息以及用户手册请参考官方网址:MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool | Software Development for NXP Microcontrollers (MCUs) | NXP | NXP  目前似乎知道这个工具的客户还不是很多,大部分用的更多的还是MCU BOOT UTILITY。那么如果已经用了MCU BOOT UTILITY烧录了FUSE,现在想用官方工具了怎么办了?其实对两者进行研究对比后,他们最原始的执行部分都是一样的,所以我们按照如下步骤进行相应的简单替换就能把新工具用起来: 首先是crts可keys的替换, MCU BOOT UTILITY的路径是在: ..\NXP-MCUBootUtility-2.2.0\NXP-MCUBootUtility-2.2.0\tools\cst MCUXPRESSO SECURE PROVISIONING的对应路径是在对应workspace的根目录: 另外还有一个就是encrypted模式会用到的hab_cert,需要将下面这两个文件对应替换,而且两个工具的命名不同,注意修改。 MCU BOOT UTILITY的路径是在: ..\NXP-MCUBootUtility-2.2.0\NXP-MCUBootUtility-2.2.0\gen\hab_cert MCUXPRESSO SECURE PROVISIONING的路径是workspace里: ..\secure_provisioning_RT1050\gen_hab_certs MCU BOOT UTILITY里命名为:SRK_1_2_3_4_table.bin; SRK_1_2_3_4_fuse.bin MCUXPRESSO SECURE PROVISIONING里命名为:SRK_fuses.bin; SRK_hash.bin 至此,就能够在新工具上用起来了 最后提一下,就是这个新工具是可以建不同的workspace来相应存储不同秘钥的项目,能够方便用户区分。在新工具下建的项目也是可以互相替换秘钥的,参考上术步骤中的secure provisioning部分即可。

Abstract Today I'd like to discuss a scenario that I will encounter in practical application. In the design phase, the Serial Nor flash is usually used as a code storage device for RT series MCUs, such as QSPI, HyperFlash, etc, as these devices all support XIP features. The flash usually is not only occupied by the code but also used to store data, such as device parameters, and log information, and even used as a file system. So we need to evaluate Flash's size. Is there any constraint to the manipulation of data space in the secure boot mode? And how to keep the data confidential? We'll talk about it below and let's get started. Secure boot mode HAB boot The bootable image is plaintext, and it may be changed after the writing operation of the FlexSPI module. If the digest algorithm obtains the different values will lead to the verification process fails, as the writing operation destroys the integrity of the data, regarding confidentiality, data is stored in plaintext in Serial Nor flash under HAB boot.   Fig1 Signature and verification process Encrypted XIP boot mode After enabling the Encrypted XIP boot mode, what is the impact on FlexSPI's read and write data operations? The first point is that the read data will be treated as encrypted data and decrypted by the BEE or OTFAD module. However, if a write operation is performed, the BEE or OTFAD module will be bypassed, in another word, the data will be written directly to the Serial Nor flash. in a short, it is not affected by the Encrypted XIP boot mode. 1) Read operation As shown in Fig 2, the encrypted code and data stored in Serial Nor flash need to be decrypted before they are sent to the CPU for execution. This is also the implementation mechanism of the Encrypted XIP boot mode. To enable the encrypted XIP boot mode, it needs to burn the keys to eFuse, after that, eFuse is impossible to restore, so the test cost seems a bit high, so I recommend you refer to the source code of the 《How to Enable the On-the-fly Decryption》application note to dynamically configure the key of the BEE module and read the encrypted array by DCP from Flash, then compare to plaintext array to verify BEE module participle the decryption flow. Fig 2 2) Write operation Modify the source code of the above application note, define s_nor_program_buffer [256], then set the values through the following code, and burn them to the 20th sector, the offset address is 0x14000. for (i = 0; i < 0xFFU; i++) { s_nor_program_buffer[i] = i; } status = flexspi_nor_flash_page_program(EXAMPLE_FLEXSPI, EXAMPLE_SECTOR * SECTOR_SIZE, (void *)s_nor_program_buffer); if (status != kStatus_Success) { PRINTF("Page program failure !\r\n"); return -1; } DCACHE_InvalidateByRange(EXAMPLE_FLEXSPI_AMBA_BASE + EXAMPLE_SECTOR * SECTOR_SIZE, FLASH_PAGE_SIZE); memcpy(s_nor_read_buffer, (void *)(EXAMPLE_FLEXSPI_AMBA_BASE + EXAMPLE_SECTOR * SECTOR_SIZE), sizeof(s_nor_read_buffer)); for(uint32_t i = 0; i < 256; i++) { PRINTF("The %d data in the second region is 0x%x\r\n", i, s_nor_read_buffer[i]); } After the programming finishes, connect to Jlink and use J-flash to check whether the burned array is correct. The results prove that the write operation will bypass the BEE or OTFAD module and write the data directly to the Serial Nor flash, which is consistent with Fig 2. Fig3 Sensitive data preservation As mentioned at the beginning, in the real project, we may need to use Flash to store data, such as device parameters, log information, or even as a file system, and the saved data is usually a bit sensitive and should prevent being easily obtained by others. For example, in SLN-VIZNAS-IoT, there is a dedicated area for storing facial feature data. Fig 4 Although the purely facial feature data is only meaningful for specific recognition algorithms, in another word, even if a third-party application obtains the original data, it is useless for hackers. In the development of real face recognization projects, it is usually to declare other data items associated with facial feature data, such as name, age, preferences, etc, as shown below: typedef union { struct { /*put char/unsigned char together to avoid padding*/ unsigned char magic; char name[FEATUREDATA_NAME_MAX_LEN]; int index; // this id identify a feature uniquely,we should use it as a handler for feature add/del/update/rename uint16_t id; uint16_t pad; // Add a new component uint16_t coffee_taste; /*put feature in the last so, we can take it as dynamic, size limitation: * (FEATUREDATA_FLASH_PAGE_SIZE * 2 - 1 - FEATUREDATA_NAME_MAX_LEN - 4 - 4 -2)/4*/ float feature[0]; }; unsigned char raw[FEATUREDATA_FLASH_PAGE_SIZE * 2]; } FeatureItem; // 1kB After enabling the Encrypted XIP boot mode, the above write operation test has proved that FlexSPI's write operation will program the data into Serial Nor flash directly, but during the reading process, the data will be decrypted by BEE or OTFAD, so we'd better use DCP or other modules to encrypt the data prior to writing, otherwise, the read operation will get the values that the plaintext goes through the decryption calculation. The risk of leakage Assume XIP encrypted boot is enabled, and whether it's okay to send the encrypted bootable image sent to the OEM for mass production. Moreover, is it able to allow the customers to access the encrypted bootable image without worrying about application image leakage? In order to verify the above guesses, I do the following testing on MIMXRT1060-EVK. Select the XIP encrypted mode in the MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning tool to generate and burn the bootable image of the Blink LED; Fig5 Observe the burned image through NXP-MCUBootUtility, you can find that the ciphertext image is very messy when compared to the plaintext image on the right border, so it seems like the NXP-MCUBootUtility can't obtain the plaintext image; Fig 6 Let's observe the ciphertext image in another way, read them through the pyocd command, as shown below; Fig 7 Open then 9_21_readback.Bin and compare it with the plain text image on the right border, they are the same actually, in other words, the plaintext image was leaked. Fig 8 Explanation As the above Fig 2 shows, the encrypted code and data stored in Serial Nor flash need to be decrypted before they are sent to the CPU for execution. When Jlink connects to the target MCU, it will load the corresponding flash driver algorithm to run in the FlexRAM. If the flash driver algorithm detects the boot type of the MCU just like the following code, then configures the BEE or OTFAD module according to the detecting result, after that, when reading the ciphertext in the Nor Flash, the data will be automatically decrypted. status = SLN_AUTH_check_context(SLN_CRYPTO_CTX_1); configPRINTF(("Context check status %d\r\n", status)); // DEBUG_LOG_DELAY_MS(1000); // Optional delay, enable for debugging to ensure log is printed before a crash if (SLN_AUTH_NO_CONTEXT == status) { configPRINTF(("Ensuring context...\r\n")); // DEBUG_LOG_DELAY_MS(1000); // Optional delay, enable for debugging to ensure log is printed before a crash // Load crypto contexts and make sure they are valid (our own context should be good to get to this point!) status = bl_nor_encrypt_ensure_context(); if (kStatus_Fail == status) { configPRINTF(("Failed to load crypto context...\r\n")); // DEBUG_LOG_DELAY_MS(1000); // Optional delay, enable for debugging to ensure log is printed before a crash // Double check if encrypted XIP is enabled if (!bl_nor_encrypt_is_enabled()) { configPRINTF(("Not running in encrypted XIP mode, ignore error.\r\n")); // DEBUG_LOG_DELAY_MS(1000); // Optional delay, enable for debugging to ensure log is printed before a // crash // No encrypted XIP enabled, we can ignore the bad status status = kStatus_Success; } } else if (kStatus_ReadOnly == status) // Using this status from standard status to indicate that we need to split PRDB { volatile uint32_t delay = 1000000; // Set up context as needed for this application status = bl_nor_encrypt_split_prdb(); configPRINTF(("Restarting BOOTLOADER...\r\n")); while (delay--) ; // Restart DbgConsole_Deinit(); NVIC_DisableIRQ(LPUART6_IRQn); NVIC_SystemReset(); } } else if (SLN_AUTH_OK == status) { configPRINTF(("Ensuring context...\r\n")); // DEBUG_LOG_DELAY_MS(1000); // Optional delay, enable for debugging to ensure log is printed before a crash // We will check to see if we need to update the backup to the reduced scope PRDB0 for bootloader space status = bl_nor_encrypt_ensure_context(); if (kStatus_Fail == status) { configPRINTF(("Failed to load crypto context...\r\n")); // DEBUG_LOG_DELAY_MS(1000); // Optional delay, enable for debugging to ensure log is printed before a crash // Double check if encrypted XIP is enabled if (!bl_nor_encrypt_is_enabled()) { configPRINTF(("Not running in encrypted XIP mode, ignore error.\r\n")); // No encrypted XIP enabled, we can ignore the bad status status = kStatus_Success; } } else if (kStatus_Success == status) // We have good PRDBs so we can update the backup { bool isMatch = false; bool isOriginal = false; configPRINTF(("Checking backup context...\r\n")); // DEBUG_LOG_DELAY_MS(1000); // Optional delay, enable for debugging to ensure log is printed before a crash // Check if we have identical KIBs and initial CTR status = bl_nor_crypto_ctx_compare_backup(&isMatch, &isOriginal, SLN_CRYPTO_CTX_0); if (kStatus_Success == status) { if (isMatch && isOriginal) { configPRINTF(("Updating backup context with valid address space...\r\n")); // DEBUG_LOG_DELAY_MS(1000); // Optional delay, enable for debugging to ensure log is printed before // a crash // Update backup PRDB0 status = SLN_AUTH_backup_context(SLN_CRYPTO_CTX_0); } } } } How to handle Now we already understand the cause of the leak, we must prohibit external tools from loading flashloader or flash driver algorithms into the FlexRAM to run, so in addition to disabling the Debug port, we also need to disable the Serial download method to prevent the hackers take advantage of the Serial Downloader method to make the ROM code load a special flashloader to run in RAM, then configure the BEE or OTFAD module prior to reading the image. However, compared to simply prohibiting the debug port, I'd highly recommend you select the Secure Debug method, because the debug feature requirement is important to return/filed testing, Secure Debug just is like adding a sturdy lock to the debug port, and only the authorized one can open this lock to enter the debugging mode successfully.

  RT1050 CSI OV7670 camera eLCD display 1.Abstract OV7670 is a CMOS VGA image sensor with small size and low operating voltage. It is controlled by the SCCB bus and can output 8-bit image data of various resolutions with a frame rate of up to 30 frames/second and low cost. This article mainly implements the use of CSI on RT10XX to obtain OV7670 camera data, and displays it using the eLCDIF display module that comes with RT10XX. The camera and display use RGB565 format. The camera resolution configuration is QVGA 320*240, the LCD is NXP official EVKB matching LCD RK043FN02H, the resolution is 480*272, and the frame rate is 30FPS. This article is based on NXP official RT1050 SDK: SDK_2_14_0_EVKB-IMXRT1050\boards\evkbimxrt1050\driver_examples\csi\rgb565 Porting the OV7670 driver to implement the CSI method to collect OV7670 image data and display it on the LCD through the eLCDIF module   2. Principle explanation    Here is a brief explanation of relevant knowledge. 2.1 RGB565 Color mode As a basic color coding format for images, RGB565 refers to a pixel that occupies 2 bytes of data and is usually used in images and display devices. R red, G green, B blue, the actual display can obtain different other colors according to the configuration of the three primary colors. Each pixel bit can display 65536 (2^16) colors. The specific allocation is as follows:   Fig 1 From the above figure, we can know that the 2-byte data displayed in pure red, green and blue is: Red: 0xf800, Green: 0X07E0, Blue: 0X001F 2.2 OV7670 camera hardware and waveform situation The OV7670 module used is as follows: Fig 2 Pin situation No Signal Description 1 PWDN Power consumption selection mode, pull down for normal use 2 RET Reset port, pull high for normal use 3 D0 Data port output bit 0 4 D1 Data port output bit 1 5 D2 Data port output bit 2 6 D3 Data port output bit 3 7 D4 Data port output bit 4 8 D5 Data port output bit 5 9 D6 Data port output bit 6 10 D7 Data port output bit 7 11 XLK Clock signal input signal 12 PLK Pixel clock output signal 13 HS Horizontal synchronization signal output signal 14 VS Frame sync clock output signal 15 SDA SCCB Interface data control 16 SCL SCCB Interface clock control 17 GND GND 18 3.3V 3.3V power RGB565 output data timing: Fig 3 2.2 CSI frame synchronization signal timing waveform Fig 4 2.3 LCD display wave Fig 5 Therefore, the data of OV7670 is obtained through CSI and then stored in the buffer. The eLCDIF then retrieves the data from the buffer and displays it on the LCD screen to display the real-time collection and reality of the camera data. 3 Software and hardware realize    The test platform is based on NXP MIMXRT1050-EVKB revA1 version: https://www.nxp.com/design/development-boards/i-mx-evaluation-and-development-boards/i-mx-rt1050-evaluation-kit:MIMXRT1050-EVK LCD为:https://www.nxp.com/part/RK043FN02H-CT#/ 3.1 Hardware connection As can be seen from Figure 2, the universal module purchased is a 2.54mm direct plug mode, but the CSI interface used on the MIMXRT1050-EVKB board is an FPC interface, so an adapter board is required to switch from FPC to 2.54mm direct plug mode. The wiring diagram is as follows:    Fig 6 The actual overall hardware connection situation is as follows: Fig 7 3.2 Software prepare Regarding the SDK driver of OV7670, the RT SDK does not provide it directly, but the FRDM-K82 SDK provides relevant drivers that can be transplanted to the RT1050 SDK.       SDK version:SDK_2_14_0_EVKB-IMXRT1050\boards\evkbimxrt1050\driver_examples\csi\rgb565 The code replaces the original OV7725 code, replaces the relevant driver with the OV7670 driver, modifies the OV7670 code, matches it to the RT1050 CSI code, and adds IO signal control for OV7670 RST and PWDN. The reason for adding RST and PWDN control is that it was found Some modules, if the RST pin is not closed and delayed to open, will cause the problem of unsuccessful acquisition. However, with the addition of RST and PWDN control, currently OV7670 from different manufacturers can successfully acquire and display stably. For the specific OV7670 code, you can view the attached source code. The camera initialization code is as follows:   static void APP_InitCamera(void) { const camera_config_t cameraConfig = { .pixelFormat = kVIDEO_PixelFormatRGB565, .bytesPerPixel = APP_BPP, .resolution = FSL_VIDEO_RESOLUTION(320, 240), /* Set the camera buffer stride according to panel, so that if * camera resoution is smaller than display, it can still be shown * correct in the screen. */ .frameBufferLinePitch_Bytes = DEMO_BUFFER_WIDTH * APP_BPP, .interface = kCAMERA_InterfaceGatedClock, .controlFlags = DEMO_CAMERA_CONTROL_FLAGS, .framePerSec = 30, }; memset(s_frameBuffer, 0, sizeof(s_frameBuffer)); BOARD_InitCameraResource(); CAMERA_RECEIVER_Init(&cameraReceiver, &cameraConfig, NULL, NULL); if (kStatus_Success != CAMERA_DEVICE_Init(&cameraDevice, &cameraConfig)) { PRINTF("Camera device initialization failed\r\n"); while (1) { ; } } CAMERA_DEVICE_Start(&cameraDevice); /* Submit the empty frame buffers to buffer queue. */ for (uint32_t i = 0; i < APP_FRAME_BUFFER_COUNT; i++) { CAMERA_RECEIVER_SubmitEmptyBuffer(&cameraReceiver, (uint32_t)(s_frameBuffer[i])); } } The resolution here is QVGA 320*240, which does not match the 480*272 of the LCD, but it does not matter. In fact, the size of 320*240 is displayed in the LCD. If you want to display it to 480*272, you can also configure the size through PXP. For more code details, see the attached code package. 4. Summary This article aims to provide a demo of RT OV7670 CSI+eLCDIF acquisition and display. let’s go directly to the finished product effect video. You can see that the relative display is relatively clear, and the refresh effect is also good.
