|
||
| On the [RTL Reference Design](rtl_reference_design.md) of the FPGA, there is the a RISC-V soft-CPU integrated. | ||
| This allows to run a firmware, and an RTOS such as [Zephyr](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/) with an USB stack and USB drivers. | ||
| The firmware is loaded into the flash after the FPGA image, and the RISC-V soft CPU starts it. | ||

| ## Features | ||
|
|
||
| - A Driver for Lattice USB23 | ||
| - The Zephyr USB stack | ||
| - An UVC device class | ||
| - UART for debug logs over the FTDI (on the devkit) | ||
| - I2C control for sensors | ||
| - Any other driver alrelady present on Zephyr | ||
| - etc. (about anything Zephyr can do) | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ## Getting started | ||
|
|
||
| Follow the Zephyr guide up to the point to build the "blinky" example: | ||
| ## Repositories | ||
|
|
||
| <https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/getting_started/index.html> | ||
|
|
||
| Follow the extra steps for any tinyCLUNX33 example: | ||
| A public **fork of Zephyr** is maintained for contributing patches to the Zephyr Project: the | ||
| `usb3` branch contains modifications that are required for the tinyCLUNX33 to work with USB3, | ||
| and are in the process of being upstreamed. | ||
| For everything else, the upstream Zephyr repository is used unchanged. | ||
|
|
||
| <https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/tinyclunx33_zephyr_example/> | ||
| - [`zephyr`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/zephyr) | ||
|
|
||
| Or follow this longer step-by-step guide including both the install of Zephyr tools and the build process. | ||
| The **tinyVision Zephyr SDK** contains additional drivers implemented by tinyVision.ai | ||
| that are compatible with upstream Zephyr, which will also be upstreamed in the long term. | ||
| This allows shipping features long before, without forking the entire Zephyr project. | ||
|
|
||
| <https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/tinyclunx33_zephyr_example/blob/main/README.ubuntu.md> | ||
| - [`tinyvision_zephyr_sdk`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/tinyvision_zephyr_sdk) | ||
|
|
||
| The **tinyCLUNX33 Zephyr Example** repository is a starting point for new applications, | ||
| and makes use of the tinyVision Zephyr SDK. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Repositories organization | ||
| - [`tinyclunx33_zephyr_example`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/tinyclunx33_zephyr_example): | ||
|
|
||
| Fork of Zephyr: how our development is organized | ||
| The dependencies are managed the | ||
| [`west.yml`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/tinyclunx33_zephyr_example/blob/main/west.yml) | ||
| file. | ||
| The example repository contains a `west.yml` that has all the dependencies correctly setup already, | ||
| and more can be added for integrating 3rd-party code, or splitting a larger codebase in modules. | ||
|
|
||
| - [`zephyr_internal`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/zephyr_internal): | ||
|
|
||
| where the development happens, the `zephyr_internal` branch acts as a `dev` branch | ||
| ## Building the firmware | ||
|
|
||
| - [`zephyr_private`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/zephyr_private): | ||
| This guide uses the | ||
| [`tinyclunx33_zephyr_example`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/tinyclunx33_zephyr_example) | ||
| sample application named ``app_imx219``. | ||
|
|
||
| releases of the `zephyr_internal` repo, the `zephyr_private` branch acts as a `main` branch. | ||
| You can ask the access to it to tinyVision.ai Inc. | ||
| First, follow the general Zephyr to setup the build environment for your platform: | ||
| <https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/getting_started/index.html> | ||
|
|
||
| - [`zephyr_public`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/zephyr): | ||
| Then, download the tinyCLUNX33 Zephyr example repository. This will download the tinyVision Zephyr SDK: | ||
|
|
||
| only used for public contributions to Zephyr, and not relevant for using the tinyCLUNX33 at this time. | ||
| ```console | ||
| # Reset the workspace directory you created from Zephyr's Getting Started Guide | ||
| cd ~/zephyrproject | ||
| rm -rf .west | ||
|
|
||
| Example repository: all you need to get started. | ||
| # Clone the example repository recursively | ||
| west init -m https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/tinyclunx33_zephyr_example | ||
| west update | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| - [`tinyclunx33_zephyr_example`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/tinyclunx33_zephyr_example): | ||
| Then, build a sample application from this example repository, for instance `app_imx219`. | ||
| You would have to choose the build target that matches the hardware you have: | ||
|
|
||
| the top-level repository that contains the example, and points at the `zephyr_private` repo, downloaded in chain by the | ||
| [`west`](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/west/index.html) build tool. | ||
| * `tinyclunx33_devkit_rev1` or `tinyclunx33_devkit_rev2` or `custom` *Shield* | ||
| * `tinyclunx33@rev1` or `tinyclunx33@rev2` *Board* | ||
| * `rtl008` or `rtl009` or `rtl010` or `custom` *SoC* (FPGA image) | ||
|
|
||
| For example, this will build a firmware image for the tinyCLUNX33 SoM Rev2 on which the RTL010 was loaded, | ||
| assuming that the SoM is attached to the Devkit Rev2: | ||
|
|
||
| ## Release process | ||
| ```console | ||
| cd ~/zephyrproject/tinyclunx33_zephyr_example/app_imx219// | ||
| west build --board tinyclunx33@rev2/rtl010 --shield tinyclunx33_devkit_rev2 | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| For transparency, here is how tinyVision.ai performs a new [release](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/tinyclunx33_zephyr_example/releases/) internally: | ||
| Then, program the firmware into the devkit, with the DEBUG interface connected. | ||
| The `ecpprog` utility is integrated with `west` and can be called this way: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Build and test every example using the `zephyr_internal` repo and `zephyr_internal` branch, | ||
| and commit as needed to fix the exapmles. | ||
| ```console | ||
| west flash | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 2. Once all the examples work, run [`blobify.sh`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/zephyr_private/blob/zephyr_private/drivers/usb/udc/blobify.sh) | ||
| to obfuscate the function names from [`udc_usb23blob.c`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/zephyr_internal/blob/zephyr_internal/drivers/usb/udc/udc_usb23blob.c). | ||
| See also [SoM Flash](som_flash.md) for other flash programming options. | ||
|
|
||
| 3. Build any example another time to generate [`udc_usb23blob.c.obj`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/zephyr_private/blob/zephyr_private/drivers/usb/udc/udc_usb23blob.c.obj) | ||
| and commit it on the `zephyr_internal_blob` branch. | ||
|
|
||
| 4. Import the content of the `zephyr_internal_blob` branch onto `zephyr_private` with `git checkout zephyr_private` then `git checkout --no-overlay zephyr_internal_blob`. | ||
| ## Including the SDK into your existing project | ||
|
|
||
| 5. Remove the `udc_usb23blob.c` file and commit the result into the `zephyr_private` branch, | ||
| with a message indicating which commit of `zephyr_internal` this came from. | ||
| In case your application was started without using the SDK, you may be interested in adding it as a dependency in | ||
| [`west.yml`](https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/tinyclunx33_zephyr_example/blob/main/west.yml), | ||
| by adding the following snippet at the bottom of the file: | ||
|
|
||
| 6. Re-test and re-build each example using the `zephyr_private` branch, and publish the generated files. | ||
| ```yaml | ||
| - name: tinyclunx33_sdk | ||
| url: [email protected]:tinyvision-ai-inc/zephyr_internal | ||
| revision: tinyclunx33_sdk | ||
| ``` | ||
| ## Troubleshooting | ||
| The first sign of life from the Zephyr RTOS coming from the board will happen over the FTDI UART interface, available by plugging the DEBUG USB cable. | ||
|
|
||
| Once a serial console viewer is connected to the second interface (often numbered #1, such as `/dev/ttyUSB1`), logs will be available to review what is going on. | ||
| The first sign of life from the Zephyr RTOS comes the UART interface, available by plugging the DEBUG USB cable. | ||
| In order to get early boot logs, you can hit the SW2 button which will reset the board but keep the serial console attached. | ||
| On the logging interface directly, the Zephyr shell is available with debug commands, except for the Shell example for which it goes over a separate `/dev/ttyACM0`. | ||
| Depending on firmware configuration (see `chosen { zephyr,shell-uart = ...; }` property of `build/zephyr/zephyr.dts`), | ||
| the Zephyr shell will be available over that same UART interface. | ||
| For the Shell example, this goes through the DATA USB port, `/dev/ttyACM0`. | ||
|
|
||
| These debug commands permit to review the internal state of the driver using subcommands of `usb23`. | ||
| These debug commands permit to review the internal state of the USB peripheral, using subcommands of `dwc3`. | ||
|
|
||
| Their usage is described with tab completion. | ||
| Interactive help is given by entering the `help dwc3` comand. |
