Adding Nucleo-F030R8 support to Zephyr - runtime error


Maciej Dębski <maciej.debski@...>
 

Hello,

I am developing support for nucleo board, with stm32f030r8 MCU. The goal was to compile and run the samples provided with Zephyr, blinky and hello_world.

I managed to finish the job, all was good, so I have done a pull request. Then, one of the reviewers pointed out that new approach to pinctrl nodes and uart pinctrl configuration in stm32 socs DT files was introduced. I was asked to do appropriate changes.

I modified my code to fit the Zephyr master. Sadly, blinky and hello_world have stopped working. The code itself is compiling and flashing fine. Just the board is reporting a fatal error before even my code is executed.
After checking the code over and over, I think I need help!

I believe most of the values are correct. I just do not fully understand the new dts/arm file structure, which is in Python, maybe I have missed something. Would you be so kind as to look at my code and help me find the issue?


This is my pull request. I would focus on dts/arm and include/dt-bindings.

Yours faithfully,
Maciej Dębski

Happy to help. What issue are you running into?

Also, you can find good help on IRC (#zephyrproject on freenode)

I took a look into the PR and the pinctrl nodes and uart pinctrl configuration seems fine. Could you provide more information about the fatal error? What do you mean by "before even my code is executed"?

I will have a better look in your PR the following days but it is hard to find the problem without the hardware to test it.

Gentlemen,

thank you for your quick responses!

As I wanted to provide more info and debug output, I accidentally found the issue.
This little change in arch/arm/core/cortex_m/prep_c.c caused sys fatal error on my f0 board, even before the stm32f0_init.

Here is the commit:
And here are the specific changes causing problem:

When I deleted the new body of the relocate_vector_table function (to do nothing as it was) - blinky and hello world started to work fine again.
What should I do now? How to report it properly?

Thank you!

As I understand it (I may be wrong), the code above does not handle the case of stm32f0 where the main Flash memory is aliased in the boot memory space (0x0000 0000), but still accessible from its original memory space (0x0800 0000).

When I deleted the new body of the relocate_vector_table function (to do nothing as it was) - blinky and hello world started to work fine again.
What should I do now? How to report it properly?
You could provide a patch to address the issue and/or you could report it using github issues.

Hello Maciej,

I assume the problem is - as Yannis pointed out - the code triggers a write to flash which stops in some way  execution.

The commit "arch: arm: core: fix vector table relocate write to flash"
https://github.com/b0661/zephyr/commit/f171c8ca1b2e7398c97d2423c146392bc8e3c314
works for me on NUCLEO F091RC and I do not see any side effects (but who knows?).

I do not have a board that needs the relocation. So this is untested for such boards.
Nevertheless the commit passes my local sanity check.

If it works for Nucleo-F030R8 too I can prepare a pull request and see whether it passes CI.

Hello Bobby,

amazing, thank you for doing this!
Yes, it works on my Nucleo-F030R8, hello world and blinky, both are fine.

Try to emphasize that this is related to my patch, so these should be released together.
If anyone knows what the procedure is in such cases, please, let me know. Should I just wait?

Thank you,

Hi Maciej and Bobby,

you can collaborate on Maciej github repository and push this commit
as a PR there and then to Zephyr's repo.

@Booby You declare vector_table_src as constant and the you change its
value. Does the compiler give you a warning for undefined behavior?

@Bobby I missed that it is a pointer to const u32_t. It is fine.

Hi All,

I have some concern about this commit eb48a0a73c11c2a9cd4c3c91864ca4e0cf52dae8 (arm: armv6-m: Support relocating vector table).

On STM32, flash is not at address 0, but can be relocated like sram spi-flash, external nand, ..., but should be when booting from flash, but this code is totally erroneous !

The #if is bogus :
#if defined(CONFIG_XIP) && (CONFIG_FLASH_BASE_ADDRESS != 0) || !defined(CONFIG_XIP) && (CONFIG_SRAM_BASE_ADDRESS != 0)

And it doesn't take in account what is actually mapped at address 0 !

On STM32, we can consider if we boot on XIP the flash is mapped on 0, so no need to relocate vectors, but indeed it can be remapped later.

@Bobby : I think this relocate should be disabled instead if avoiding copy when the values are the same.

@kumar, erwan : should it be handled with a config disabling the relocation on stm32 ?

Hi All,

On STM32F0 SoCs, the forst 32K cam be remapped to an internal SRAM, but this must be done *before* the relocate_vector_table() call.

I will push a patch to add a relocate hook for Cortex-M0 platforms to use the LL LL_SYSCFG_SetRemapMemory() call before the vector table relocating.

Hello,

I am developing support for nucleo board, with stm32f030r8 MCU. The goal was to compile and run the samples provided with Zephyr, blinky and hello_world.

I managed to finish the job, all was good, so I have done a pull request. Then, one of the reviewers pointed out that new approach to pinctrl nodes and uart pinctrl configuration in stm32 socs DT files was introduced. I was asked to do appropriate changes.

I modified my code to fit the Zephyr master. Sadly, blinky and hello_world have stopped working. The code itself is compiling and flashing fine. Just the board is reporting a fatal error before even my code is executed.
After checking the code over and over, I think I need help!

I believe most of the values are correct. I just do not fully understand the new dts/arm file structure, which is in Python, maybe I have missed something. Would you be so kind as to look at my code and help me find the issue?

Hi Maciej, Bobby,

Could test the following patch ?

If it works, it's the correct way to handle this situation, and should be included in the stm32f0 support patchset.

On STM32F0 SoCs, the forst 32K cam be remapped to an internal SRAM, but this must be done *before* the relocate_vector_table() call.

I will push a patch to add a relocate hook for Cortex-M0 platforms to use the LL LL_SYSCFG_SetRemapMemory() call before the vector table relocating.

Hi All,

I have some concern about this commit eb48a0a73c11c2a9cd4c3c91864ca4e0cf52dae8 (arm: armv6-m: Support relocating vector table).

On STM32, flash is not at address 0, but can be relocated like sram spi-flash, external nand, ..., but should be when booting from flash, but this code is totally erroneous !

The #if is bogus :
#if defined(CONFIG_XIP) && (CONFIG_FLASH_BASE_ADDRESS != 0) || !defined(CONFIG_XIP) && (CONFIG_SRAM_BASE_ADDRESS != 0)

And it doesn't take in account what is actually mapped at address 0 !

On STM32, we can consider if we boot on XIP the flash is mapped on 0, so no need to relocate vectors, but indeed it can be remapped later.

@Bobby : I think this relocate should be disabled instead if avoiding copy when the values are the same.

@kumar, erwan : should it be handled with a config disabling the relocation on stm32 ?

Hello Maciej,

I assume the problem is - as Yannis pointed out - the code triggers a write to flash which stops in some way execution.

The commit "arch: arm: core: fix vector table relocate write to flash"
https://github.com/b0661/zephyr/commit/f171c8ca1b2e7398c97d2423c146392bc8e3c314 <https://github.com/b0661/zephyr/commit/f171c8ca1b2e7398c97d2423c146392bc8e3c314>
works for me on NUCLEO F091RC and I do not see any side effects (but who knows?).

I do not have a board that needs the relocation. So this is untested for such boards.
Nevertheless the commit passes my local sanity check.

If it works for Nucleo-F030R8 too I can prepare a pull request and see whether it passes CI.

Hi Neil,

the patch forces the STM32F0 vector table to be in SRAM as CONFIG_FLASH_BASE_ADDRESS and CONFIG_SRAM_BASE_ADDRESS are not 0.

I would appreciate to save precious SRAM and do the remap only if it is needed.

I could not find out how the vector table space is reserved in SRAM. Is this already done or are there more patches to follow to ensure this?

My patch was agnostic of config options by intention. It copies the vector table if the vector table content is not the expected one. All other measures to ensure correct vector table operations are left to the application/soc/board/....

I will test your patch.

Bobby

Hi,

Since Cortex-M0 cannot relocate the vector base with a processor register, the vector must be moved.

Yes you can map the first kbytes of the flash to the first 32k bytes of 0, but you won't tun change the vector or run other applications if you have a bootloader.

But yes, you may need to add a further Kconfig to completely disable relocation, but also disable vector modification because it can only occur in this SRAM mapped a 0.

Hi Neal,

I had a look at the linker script https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/master/include/arch/arm/cortex_m/scripts/linker.ld which is also used for STM32F0.

Transfer of the vector table to address 0.. of the SRAM will either write to the application .data section or the kernel .bss section. The .bss section will be zeroed just after the relocation of the vector table.

I think there must be a memory reservation for the vector table at the start of the RAMABLE_REGION.


I still do not see why execution in place (XIP) mandates the interrupt vector table to be in SRAM. This should be a different configuration option to be set by e.g. bootloaders. Event bootloaders may avoid that by using trampolines. Based on this option the memory at the start of the SRAM can be reseved, the SRAM mapped to address 0 and the vector table transfered from flash to SRAM.

Hi,

Since Cortex-M0 cannot relocate the vector base with a processor register, the vector must be moved.

Yes you can map the first kbytes of the flash to the first 32k bytes of 0, but you won't tun change the vector or run other applications if you have a bootloader.

But yes, you may need to add a further Kconfig to completely disable relocation, but also disable vector modification because it can only occur in this SRAM mapped a 0.

Yes it should, then it should disable all the dynamic update and generation of the vector table.

Exact

Event bootloaders may avoid that by using trampolines. Based on this option the memory at the start of the SRAM can be reseved, the SRAM mapped to address 0 and the vector table transfered from flash to SRAM.

Yes it should, then it should disable all the dynamic update and generation of the vector table.

There are use cases where you really do not need the dynamic updates (mine for example - updates are done by the supervising system) but as much RAM as possible. So why not make it a config option?

Event bootloaders may avoid that by using trampolines. Based on this option the memory at the start of the SRAM can be reseved, the SRAM mapped to address 0 and the vector table transfered from flash to SRAM.

Yes it should, then it should disable all the dynamic update and generation of the vector table.


There are use cases where you really do not need the dynamic updates (mine for example - updates are done by the supervising system) but as much RAM as possible. So why not make it a config option?
Yes, I think the SRAM mapped case should be an option, but selected by default. Anyway, something must be pushed along the STM32F0 basic support.

Hi Neil,

I created another vector table relocation function and adjusted the linker control file.
Please have a look at https://github.com/b0661/zephyr/commit/6be292fab8580b3afa4a50cd59b8c406701d08d3.

I don´t know much about the bootloader mechanisms you mentioned - please review/ comment.

Thanks
Bobby

Event bootloaders may avoid that by using trampolines. Based on this option the memory at the start of the SRAM can be reseved, the SRAM mapped to address 0 and the vector table transfered from flash to SRAM.

Yes, I think the SRAM mapped case should be an option, but selected by default. Anyway, something must be pushed along the STM32F0 basic support.

Hi Bobby,

I was thinking of something similar, good work !

I'll test it,

@Maciej, would you have time to test it and integrate it to your pull request ?

Thanks,
Neil

Hi Neil,

I created another vector table relocation function and adjusted the linker control file.
Please have a look at https://github.com/b0661/zephyr/commit/6be292fab8580b3afa4a50cd59b8c406701d08d3.

I don´t know much about the bootloader mechanisms you mentioned - please review/ comment.

Thanks
Bobby

Event bootloaders may avoid that by using trampolines. Based on this option the memory at the start of the SRAM can be reseved, the SRAM mapped to address 0 and the vector table transfered from flash to SRAM.

Yes, I think the SRAM mapped case should be an option, but selected by default. Anyway, something must be pushed along the STM32F0 basic support.
