Hi guys,

One problem with have in Zephyr regarding C99 is that we are using a lot
of unnamed struct/unions. One example is:

Hi Vinayak,

Our customer requested us to test conductive BLE RSSI in factory for accuracy improvement.

Could you please clarify the following questions?

1. As I know, BLE RSSI can’t be measured in standard DTM mode. Is it possible to add new feature in DTM to support BLE RSSI measurement?

[vich] Yes, this is possible, but the command will have to be proprietary as per your test requirements.

1. If the answer to the above question is “no”, I still need your confirmation if other test modes exist that can measure RSSI except DTM mode.

In our experiences of other algorithm(LTE/WCDMA…etc.), RSSI usually can be detected easily in test mode via a CW tone. So it’s why we want

to double check this.

[vich] RSSI can be easily measured in nRF5x series chips during Radio Rx mode. Implementation will have to be as per your requirement, as standard DTM mode does not define any interface for RSSI in DTM mode.

1. Do you have any customers who have experiences to measure conductive RSSI in factory or in lab? If so, can you share the methodology?

[vich] Other customers may be doing so, but I am not aware of unless the implementation is submitted upstream via a PR.

Hi Tommy,

I don’t remember if DTM mode has any RSSI command in the Specification.

Could you please elaborate on your requirements?

Regards,

Vinayak

Hi ,

We have a product using nRF51824 with zephyr.

We use hci_uart sample code and follow below link , and we can get other BT device’s RSSI.

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/b/blog/posts/nrf5x-support-within-the-zephyr-project-rtos

We have a question , If it is in DTM(Direct Test Mode) , how can we get RSSI?

Could you give us some suggestions.

Best regards,

Tommy

Hi there,

 

This has been requested several times, but as far as I know has not been completely solved yet.

There is an issue here: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/6498, please read through it and comment on your specific requirements so we try to gather all of them there in order to provide an implementation.

In the meantime you can use the HAL’s APIs directly (this is mcux for the Freedom board I believe), which is what other users have done with nRF-based platforms.

 

Regards,

 

Carles

Subject: [Zephyr-devel] Timer using FRDM-K64F

 

Hello,

 

My team and I are developing an application that will need the use of timers using the FRDM-K64F board.  The application requires a timer to be set using microseconds as the unit. Looking through the Zephyr and FRDM board documentation, I found that it supports millisecond resolution. Is it possible for Zephyr and the FRDM board to have a microsecond resolution? If so, are there examples of microsecond resolution? Thank you.

Hi Stefan,

To generate #define's from dt, you need to provide the matching yaml binding to indicate how fields should be decided, this should be done under dts/bindings/...

Generated #define's will be available in build directory, under zephyr/include/generated/generated_... 

You should be able to use them as you wish.

To make your driver somewhat generic (ie not depending on the node address, you'll need to provide intermediate #define in dts_fixup.h file (under soc/ or board/).

For more information, you can check in various drivers how DT_xxxx constants are used

Cheers

Hej,

I like to create an user app that uses 2 IC connected via I2C with my
MCU.  Doing this is a bit tricky because I am missing some
documentation, that is describing how the whole process goes.

My setup is simple:

1.) custom board based on the stm32f412RG

1.1) the IC are connected via I2C

1.2) dts changes:

&i2c1 {
     status = "ok";
     clock-frequency = <I2C_BITRATE_FAST>;

     codec1@48 {
         compatible = "xxx,codec1";
         reg = <0x48>;
         label = "codec1";
     };

     codec2@46 {
         compatible = "xxx,codec2";
         reg = <0x46>;
         label = "codec2";
         readAddr = <0x8F>;
         writeAddr = <0x8E>;
     };
};

2.) user app

2.1) custom driver (codec1.c and codec2.c)

How can I get the value of the I2C slave address from the dts inside of
my source code?

How can I find and access the c-files after the dts compilation?

How Zephyr connects the c code of the dts, kernel, drivers, user drivers
and app?


Any help is welcome!

Hi,
I know it is a quite specific question, but I thought that maybe
someone has an idea into which direction to go..

I have some PCA10059 (nRF52-Dongles) lying around and would like to
make experiments with them running Zephyr OS. Unfortunately, I do not
have a an appropriate cable for connecting it to my nRF52 DK to flash
it and buying a cable would crash my budget.

Luckily, work has been ongoing to make flashing the PCA10059 possible
without an external debugger. The solution (how I understand it) is
that the stock Nordic bootloader remains on the PCA10059, loads
MCUboot, which in turn loads Zephyr OS. The merge request can be found
here: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/11210

I have playing around with it (i.e. flash samples/bluetooth/mesh) and
can report that it is working. I had to make two modifications:
Comment storage_partition in
boards\arm\nrf52840_pca10059\nrf52840_pca10059.dts, such that there is
no duplicate collision with dts/common/nrf52840-nrf5-*.overlay and
strangely (I would interpret the documention differently) keep Kconfig
settings how they are (leave CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=n).

The "only" problem I have: Storage of settings does not work. The
symptoms are that I have to re-provision the PCA10059 every time it is
power-cycled.

I have been playing around with storage settings in the .dts-files
(changing the memory regions) with no success. Attached is the
_dts_compiled that is generated during the build phase and a
screenshot of nrf connect showing in which regions code resides.

Has anyone already gotten storage of settings with PCA10059 to work
(possibly even with the traditional debugger solution)? And does
anyone have a clue / an idea why it is not working and where I should
look into?

Thanks,
Martin

Uh... those instructions still tell you to get cmake 3.8.2 :)

The latest is currently at https://cmake.org/files/LatestRelease/cmake-3.13.2-Linux-x86_64.sh it seems.

Subject: [Zephyr-devel] Minimum required CMake version is not 3.13.1

 

Hi,

 

We have changed the minimal requirement version of cmake to 3.13.1 meaning that you are required to update cmake on your system to build Zephyr.

 

Please follow the documentation below to satisfy the requirements:

 

https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/getting_started/installation_linux.html#install-requirements-and-dependencies

 

The reasons for a recent version of CMake is explain here:

 

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/12022#issuecomment-446589193

 

We have a few requests to include CMake in the SDK, this is something we are considering in the new SDK based on crosstools-ng.

 

Regards,

Anas
