HAL Port — Implementation Details
Overview
This documentation explains how the eCos HAL specification has been mapped onto the STM32X0G-EVAL board hardware, and should be read in conjunction with that specification. The STM32X0G-EVAL platform HAL package complements the Cortex-M architectural HAL and the STM32 variant HAL. It provides functionality which is specific to the target board.
Startup
Following a hard or soft reset the HAL will initialize or reinitialize many of the on-chip peripherals. There is an exception for RAM startup applications which depend on a ROM monitor for certain services.
For ROM and JTAG startup, the HAL will perform additional
initialization, programming the various internal registers
including the PLL, peripheral clocks and GPIO pins. The details
of the early hardware startup may be found in the
src/stm32x0g_eval_misc.c in both
hal_system_init and
hal_platform_init.
Memory Map
The platform HAL package provides the memory layout information needed to generate the linker script. The key memory locations are as follows:
- External RAM
-
This is located at address 0x64000000 of the memory space, and
is 1MiB long. For ROM applications, all of RAM is available for
use. For RAM startup applications, RAM below 0x64008000 is
reserved for RedBoot and the top
CYGNUM_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_STACK_SIZEbytes are reserved for the interrupt stack, the remainder is available for the application. - Internal RAM
This is located at address 0x20000000 of the memory space, and is 128KiB in size. On the STM3220G, the eCos VSR table occupies the bottom 388 bytes, with the virtual vector table starting at 0x20000184 and extending to 0x20000284. On the STM3240G, the eCos VSR table occupies the bottom 392 bytes on the STM3220G, with the virtual vector table starting at 0x20000188 and extending to 0x20000288. For ROM, ROMINT, SRAM and JTAG startups, the top
CYGNUM_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_STACK_SIZEbytes are reserved for the interrupt stack. The remainder of internal RAM is available for use by applications.The STM32F407IG based systems have a block of (close-coupled) SRAM located at address 0x10000000 of the memory space, and 64KiB in size.
- Internal FLASH
- This is located at address 0x08000000 of the memory space and will be mapped to 0x00000000 at reset. This region is 1024KiB in size. ROM applications are by default configured to run from this memory. This memory is managed by RedBoot's FIS system.
- On-Chip Peripherals
- These are accessible at locations 0x40000000 and 0xE0000000 upwards. Descriptions of the contents can be found in the STM32 User Manual.
Linker Scripts
The platform linker scripts define the following symbols:
- hal_vsr_table
- This defines the location of the VSR table. This is set to 0x20000000 for all startup types, and space for either 97 (F2 processors) or 98 (F4 processors) entries is reserved.
- hal_virtual_vector_table
- This defines the location of the virtual vector table used to communicate between an ROM monitor and an eCos application. This is allocated right after the VSR table, at 0x20000184 (F2) or 0x20000188 (F4).
- hal_interrupt_stack
- This defines the location of the interrupt stack. For ROM and JTAG startups, this is allocated to the top of internal SRAM, 0x20020000. For RAM startups, it is allocated to the top of external SRAM, 0x64200000.
- hal_startup_stack
- This defines the location of the startup stack. For all startup types it is initially allocated at the half-way point of the interrupt stack.
Diagnostic LEDs
Four LEDs are fitted on the board for diagnostic purposes: LED1 (green), marked as LD1; LED2 (orange) marked as LD2; LED3 (red) marked as LD3; and LED4 (blue) marked as LD4.
The platform HAL header file at
<cyg/hal/plf_io.h> defines the following
convenience function to allow the LEDs to be set:
extern void hal_stm32x0_led(char c);
The lowest 4 bits of the argument c correspond to each
of the 4 LEDs (with LED1 as the least significant bit).
The platform HAL will automatically light LED1 when the platform initialisation is complete, however the LEDs are free for application use.
Flash wait states
The STM32X0G-EVAL platform HAL provides a configuration option to
set the number of Flash read wait states to use:
CYGNUM_HAL_CORTEXM_STM32_FLASH_WAIT_STATES. It
is important to verify and if necessary update this value if
changing the CPU clock (HCLK) frequency or CPU voltage. Consult
the STM32 Flash programming manual (PM0059) for appropriate
values for different clock speeds or voltages. The default of 3
reflects a supply voltage of 3.3V and HCLK of 120MHz.
Real-time characterization
The tm_basic kernel test gives statistics gathered about the real-time characterization and performance of the kernel. The sample output is shown here for information. The test was built for ROMINT startup, which provided the best performance as both code and data could remain on-chip.
Example 303.1. stm32x0g_eval Real-time characterization
Startup, main stack : stack used 348 size 3920
Startup : Idlethread stack used 84 size 2048
eCos Kernel Timings
Notes: all times are in microseconds (.000001) unless otherwise stated
Reading the hardware clock takes 0 'ticks' overhead
... this value will be factored out of all other measurements
Clock interrupt took 6.03 microseconds (6 raw clock ticks)
