## Setup
To compile the firmware you need `meson`(>0.40.0) and a `arm-none-eabi-gcc`. You should also have python3 installed on your system.
### Compiler (`arm-none-eabi-gcc`)
Install the cross-compiler and debugger either from your distributions repositories, or alternatively download a precompiled toolchain from [ARM](https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads).
On Ubuntu, the package is called `gcc-arm-none-eabi`
### Compiling the card10 firmware
```bash
# Configure the build system
./bootstrap.sh
# Start the build
ninja -C build/
```
You can also build individual targets using
```bash
ninja -C build/ <target>
```
where `target` is one of
- `hw-tests/bmatest/bmatest.elf` - Test for `BMA400`
- `hw-tests/bmetest/bmetest.elf` - Test for `BME680`
- `hw-tests/ecgtest/ecgtest.elf` - Test for `MAX30003` ECG
- `hw-tests/hello-freertos/hello-freertos.elf` - FreeRTOS Demo
- `hw-tests/hello-world/hello-world.elf` - General Demo
- `hw-tests/imutest/imutest.elf` - Compass Test
- `hw-tests/ips/ips.elf` - Display Test
- `hw-tests/dual-core/dual-core{0,1}.elf` - Dual-Core Demo
If you want to debug code or replace the bootloader, you need OpenOCD and GDB.
Use `arm-none-eabi-gdb` (might be packaged as `gdb-arm-none-eabi` or get it from the binary distribution above).
Add the following line to your `~/.gdbinit` file:
```
add-auto-load-safe-path <PATH TO THIS REPOSITORY>
```
This allows gdb to use our .gdbinit files without specifying them on the command line.
### OpenOCD
If you want to debug code or replace the bootloader, you need OpenOCD and GDB.
Get OpenOCD from [Maxim](https://github.com/maximmbed/openocd) and checkout the `max32xxx` branch. Run `git submodule update --init`.

Build using `./bootstrap`, `./configure` and 'make'. Make sure that the `CMSIS-DAP Compliant Debugger` is set to `yes(auto)` after running `./configure` (you might need to install libusb and other USB related libraries).
If you get errors making the documentation you can `touch doc/openocd.info` to skip it and continue with 'make'.
Please run `make install` after removing any already installed OpenOCD version. Otherwise please always specify the full path to openocd (the binary is under `src/openocd`, when calling `openocd`.
Run OpenOCD from the root `openocd/scripts` directory in this repository like this: `openocd -f interface/cmsis-dap.cfg -f target/max32665.cfg`. It should display something similar to:
```
Info : CMSIS-DAP: SWD Supported
Info : CMSIS-DAP: FW Version = 1.0
Info : CMSIS-DAP: Interface Initialised (SWD)
Info : SWCLK/TCK = 0 SWDIO/TMS = 1 TDI = 0 TDO = 0 nTRST = 0 nRESET = 1
Info : CMSIS-DAP: Interface ready
Info : clock speed 2000 kHz
Info : SWD DPIDR 0x2ba01477
Info : max32xxx.cpu: hardware has 6 breakpoints, 4 watchpoints
Info : Listening on port 3333 for gdb connections
```
## Debugger Connection
If you have the debugger provided with the `card10`, connect it as follows:
- `HDK`: This connection provides debugging (SWD) and UART
- `DEV`: This connection provides power (battery charger) and the native USB connection (bootloader)
- `USB-C`: Connect the proved USB-C cable with the side which has the blue dot, so the blue dots have the same side
Now connect the USB-C cable, so the name of the cable manufacturer facing downwards (i.e. is not visible when looking at the display).
## Flashing
Run `arm-none-eabi-gdb` in the applications folder. It should connect to OpenOCD and say something like:
```
TMR_Delay (tmr=tmr@entry=0x40010000, us=us@entry=10000, sys_cfg=sys_cfg@entry=0x0) at Source/tmr_utils.c:59
59 while (TMR_TO_Check(tmr) != E_TIME_OUT) {}
(gdb)
```
Enter `load`. It should say something like:
```
(gdb) load
Loading section .text, size 0x12514 lma 0x10010000
Loading section .ARM.exidx, size 0x8 lma 0x10022514
Loading section .data, size 0x8d8 lma 0x1002251c
Start address 0x10012160, load size 77300
Transfer rate: 19 KB/sec, 11042 bytes/write.
(gdb)
```
To run the program, type: `reset` (which runs `mon mww 0x40000004 0x80000000`). This is a quirk as the prototypes to not have a reset line exposed to the debugger. Will be solved with production hardware.

Important: You need to flash the bootloader first and make sure that there is no `card10.bin` file on the internal file system. Otherwise your program might not boot, or is overwritten by the bootloader.
TODO: Provide a make command to flash card10.
## Debugging
After flashing and the initial reset using `reset`, you can say `mon reset halt` and then `continue`. You can now debug as usual.
(`reset` is defined in `.gdbinit` and runs `mon mww 0x40000004 0x80000000`)
## Serial Console
card10 outputs debug information on the serial console. Baudrate is 115200. The provided USB adapter creates a CDC device (under Linux /dev/ttyACM0). You can use screen to open and view it: `screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200`.
## Bootloader
The bootloader is used to flash card10 without an external debugger. It exposes the file system via USB and accepts a `card10.bin` file as firmware image.
To flash the bootloader, go to the `bootloader` directory and follow the steps above.
To execute the bootloader, turn off card10, press the lower right button and turn on. Connect card10 via a USB cable to a computer and mount the file system. You can now copy your card10.bin file to the file system. Eject the drive (IMPORTANT!) via your operating system (`umount` and `sync` is not enough). Turn card10 off and back on again. It will try to boot the image.
IMPORTANT: The prototypes have the USB data lines reversed. Use the provided USB adapter to connect card10.
