Bluetooth: about latest Kernel OOPS

vikrant8051 <vikrant8051@...>
 

Hi,
Today I synced my local repo with Zephyr master & while testing with
Bluetooth Mesh App I got following Kernel OOPS:

***** Kernel OOPS! *****                                                                                                         
Current thread ID = 0x200018c0                                                                                                   
Faulting instruction address = 0x16d84                                                                                           
Fatal fault in ISR! Spinning...

I executed following command :
/opt/zephyr-sdk/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-zephyr-eabi/arm-zephyr-eabi-addr2line -e zephyr.elf 0x16d84

o/p ->
/home/vikrant/zephyr/subsys/bluetooth/controller/ll_sw/ctrl.c:6353

Please suggest me how to overcome this.

Thank You !!
Type-C PD (TCPC / TCPM)

david <david@...>
 

Hi,

Checking in if anyone has been looking at generic USB Type-C PD support?

There are obviously various ways this is dealt with in products on the market,
some uses more primitive PHY's + a big chunk of driver-code running on cpu,
some are completely standalone (proprietary / less flexible) with it's own little
cpu & binary that can operate autonomously or via a high-level serial-protocol.

Then there are parts supporting TCPC / TCPM, where the 'port-manager' runs
on the host cpu talking to the phy via (I assume) a somewhat standardized
protocol that should be generic between PD IC's supporting it.


Thoughts?

Good to know that we can work on WSL

Hi all,

You might know that if you use Windows 10, you can benefit from WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to build Zephyr. This is of course no longer necessary, since we now fully support native Windows command prompts, but it can be useful if you want to run sanitycheck (not yet ported to Windows) or other Linux-only tools.

Until now there was a bug [1] in WSL that prevented Zephyr for building on WSL. This has now been fixed in Windows 10 release 1809, so I took the opportunity to build tests/bluetooth/shell for nrf52_pca10040 on my (very slow) Windows laptop and compare times:

Linux VM: 21s
Native Windows Command Prompt: 24s
WSL: 26s

As always you are free to pick your platform (macOS works fine too) to build Zephyr.

Re: nrf52840 dongle

Puzdrowski, Andrzej
 

I think you can start form looking at the ticket Nordic PCA10059 support without additional Seeger debugger https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/9055 and related PRs

As you can see what you want is actually in progress.

 

There is no need to modify linker script – partitions you can move using DTS overlay files – I recommend to look at zephyr developer guide for more info (and the code as well)

Hi all,

 

I would like to use nrf52840 dongle for zephyr development.

I don´t have j-link cable and I wonder if I can flash the project using Nordic nrfutil.

As far as I know I need to change linker script address from 0 to 0x1000.

Can someone share how to change the linker script for nrf52840.

Hi Julien,

   We've recently published a set of papers considering the evaluation of OS for wearable computing.  It might be worth checking some of them, once some wearable solutions are pretty similar to the IoT environment. 


Please, let me know in private if you are unable to access any of these files.

Hi Julien,

if you are interested in measuring networking performance, then there
is a iPerf 2.x client/server sample application in Zephyr that you can
use for this purpose. See samples/net/zperf directory in Zephyr source

More information about iPerf2 can be found at

Hi,
I am a professor at federal university in Brazil. I am glad to see initiatives to evaluate and comparing “RTOSes” master thesis. It seems to be a great path to go. I would suggest you to compare the number of supported boards, interrupt latency, the abstraction level, the kernel type, quantity of drivers available, inter tasks communication mechanisms, price, and so on. You can dig deep as you want.

I think you must compare with payed RTOSes as well. Some I can say now: Mynewt, RIOT, Amazon FreeRTOS, XThread, Chibios, etc. Here is a list (seems to be outdated) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_real-time_operating_systems

Good luck with your research. I would be happy to help and take a look at the results.


Best regards,
Rodrigo Peixoto.

Re: Best pinmux approach for Atmel sam soc (sam4s & same70)

Vincent - VLoTech
 

Hi,

I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree with you.

Many of the peripherals on the SAM family can be assigned to several
pins. Which pins used are a choice on board level, so technically this
socmap.h approach could actually not work for the SPI, UART, USART and
I2C drivers.
As this pin assignment is controlled by a specific separate peripheral,
like most MCU have except the nordic ones, I would propose to add the
pinmux driver.
The sam3x actually already has this, and can easily be made compatible
for the rest of the family of atmel sam.

I do agree that have the different possible options for each peripheral
can be published from the soc layer. In the sam series this is already
done through the ASF includes.

I don't mind putting in the effort to make these changes. Especially if
this creates a better consensus between the different soc types.

Kind regards,

Vincent

There’s a fair amount of inconsistency between SoC & board ports in this area. It needs cleaning up, but for now we should keep with the pattern used for other SAM devices.

2) pinmux.c file using pinmux interface
3) pinmux.c file useing pinmux device interface

What is the preferred way, or better said, what is the design pattern to apply for now and in the near future.

Looking forward to your insights.

I’d avoid device tree for right now, it is were we want to be, but requires a bunch of other work we are making progress on.

So we should have a pinmux driver that sets pins, and than we have board level pin settings. You can look at boards/arm/frdm_k64f/pinmux.c and drivers/pinmux/pinmux_mcux.c for an example/pattern to use.

Hi all,

I'm currently extending the support for the sam4s and same70, by adding the SPI driver for it.

To create / extend a board which actually uses the SPI bus, I noticed there several different approaches to handle the pinmux.
1) device tree spec at board level assigning peripheral pins.
2) pinmux.c file using pinmux interface
3) pinmux.c file useing pinmux device interface

What is the preferred way, or better said, what is the design pattern to apply for now and in the near future.

Looking forward to your insights.

Kind regards,

I’d avoid device tree for right now, it is were we want to be, but requires a bunch of other work we are making progress on.

So we should have a pinmux driver that sets pins, and than we have board level pin settings. You can look at boards/arm/frdm_k64f/pinmux.c and drivers/pinmux/pinmux_mcux.c for an example/pattern to use.

Re: HCI_UART

Hi there,

 

Could you please attach a btmon log of the attach procedure?

 

On one shell run “sudo btmon”

On another shell then run: “sudo btattach -B /dev/ttyACM0 -S 1000000”

 

And then attach the log output from btmon in an email or paste service.

 

Also, have you tried “sudo btmgmt --index 0”? i.e. specifying the index when invoking btmgmt?

Hello,

 

I have built and installed HCI_UART to nRF52840 Nordic Development kit.  When I connect this device it appears with "lsusb", seemingly I can attach it using "btattach -B /dev/ttyACM0 -S 1000000", revealing hci0.  I have made the recommended adaptation to "/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service", appending -E to the "ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd -E" line.

 

When issuing commands with "btmgmt", "btmon" reports "Invalid Index (0x11)".  Normal HCI commands fail such as "hciconfig hci0 up".  

 

Using Bionic-Beaver Ubuntu, 4.15 kernel, Bluez 5.48, also tested with Xenial Ubuntu 4.15 kernel, Bluez 5.50.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
