[2.3 release] Feature merge window close (M2) tomorrow

Carles Cufi
 

Hi all,

This is just a reminder that the feature merge window closes tomorrow, the 8th of May.
This means that any changes that are not bugfixes or documentation changes must be merged by then.

Since I doubt I will be able to go through all GitHub emails in time for tomorrow, please make sure that your PR shows in the following filter if you want it merged:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+base%3Amaster+review%3Aapproved+status%3Asuccess+-label%3ADNM+draft%3Afalse++milestone%3Av2.3.0

This means that your PR must be approved, must pass CI and its milestone must be set to v2.3.0.

If you have additional requests or need help, please email me or ping me on Slack.

Regards,

Carles

yet i can't explicitly enable that specific CONFIG_USE_STM32_HAL_DMA2D and i can't include it in the prj.conf (errors about not being able to explicitly set it) and so i don't know what to do.

in my code i could

#include <stm32f4xx_hal_dma2d.h>

and compile without errors however the linking process failed whenever i tried to access a function, eg: HAL_DMA2D_Init. so it's like the environment knows i want to use that HAL and makes the include available to me, but i can't complete the build.

so i don't know if i'm getting hung up on the idea of whether linking will work if i could only enable CONFIG_USE_STM32_HAL_DMA2D or whether there is another way to get my project to compile/link the required hal driver, or indeed whether there are other options i'm not aware of.

when i look in 

zephyrproject/modules/hal/stm32/stm32cube/stm32f4xx/CMakeLists.txt

there is a whole lot of stuff about zephyr_library_sources_ifdef(CONFIG_USE_STM32_HAL_[all the things i would like to enable but cannot]) but the problem is i can't actually enable any of them.

anyway i tried google every which way and i'm stuck, so if anyone can help a brother out i'd be over the moon, cheers all, tristen.

Re: samples/basic/blinky

Lawrence King
 

Hi Patrice:

 

Your statement that the behavior of the LED is ‘inverted’ is completely correct.

 

Your statement about the current is at best confusing. It is true that the GPIO doesn’t need to ‘source’ the current to turn the LED, but the GPIO does need to ‘sink’ the current. The amount of current flowing either into or out of the GPIO will be same no matter how the LED and resistor are connected. The reason we electrical engineers always choose to have the GPIO ‘sink’ the current is purely historical.

 

In the dark ages when we used +5V TTL logic (example 74LS04), the outputs of a logic gate could only source a small amount of current typically 6mA, and could sink a larger amount of current, typically 18mA. The LEDs available at the time needed at least 10mA to light up (and even at 10mA were not very bright), hence we were forced to use the sink capabilities of the gate to connect a LED to an output.

 

For no good reason we have continued with this convention, current generation LEDs are very bright with only 2mA of current, and current logic gates are symmetric drive which can source or sink 10mA or even 20mA. There is no good reason to have the logic ‘inverted’ other than historical convention.

 

I haven’t tried out all of the features of the new GPIO functions yet, but I think you can setup a GPIO to be “GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW” when calling gpio_pin_configure() and then drive the pin to GPIO_OUTPUT_ACTIVE when calling gpio_pin_set(), I believe this should turn the LED on.

Hellor Tristen,

The behavior of your LED seems normal!
In embedded design, LED are usually and voluntary inverted. Doing this will avoid the GPIO pin to provide the current by itself, the LED current will be supplied by the power directly.
                led       resistor
VCC |------|>|-----^v^v^v----------< GPIO |
If GPIO is set => no current
if GPIO is unset => current from VCC to the GPIO, no current provided by the stm32!
The LED is "active low".

heya nik thank you for responding, thankfully the schematics are available for download so i'll take a look and see what i can learn.

whew i've done plenty of programming on linux but i've never had to understand anything at this level, so thank you again for taking the time to help me out.

samples/basic/blinky

Tristen Ennemuist
 

hello, i am [slowly] working my way through the examples, and i am a bit confused with the blinky sample project.

it seems that when 0 (zero) is written using gpio_pin_set then the LED on my board lights up and when 1 (one) is written the LED turns off. this is the opposite of what i was expecting,

however i am completely new to embedded development so i must apologise in embarrassment if it is my expectation that is the opposite!

ok, with the code:

i increased SLEEP_TIME_MS to 10000 so i could be sure there wasn't a timing issue on the output and i added the if/printk block to the while loop, and sure enough writing a zero results in led on and writing a one results in led off.

ie: the led is unlit and "led is now on", the led is lit and "led is now off".

my board is the stm32f469i_disco and i'm developing on fedora, below is the modified while loop, any feedback/advice would be much appreciated, thank you.

 while (1) {
gpio_pin_set(dev, PIN, (int)led_is_on);

if (led_is_on)
{
printk("led is now on\n");
}
else
{
printk("led is now off\n");
}

led_is_on = !led_is_on;
k_sleep(SLEEP_TIME_MS);
}  
Using device's HW crypto module with zephyr OS #nrf52-pca10040 #crypto

mdl.mailme@...
 

Hi,

I tried figuring out how to use the HW AES module on my device (nrf52 dk) with zephyr OS, but I didn't find any example and didn't manage to understand the crypto API and how to use it. I would like to have a minimal example of a working AES encryption in CCM mode. What Kconfig options do I have to set? Which crypto library do I have to use? Which variables do I have to set and which functions do I have to call?

Thanks in advance and regards,

Test-related labels on GitHub

Carles Cufi
 

Hi all,

I have tried to clean up the test-related labels on GitHub, performing the following changes:

- "Testing" has been removed
- "Testing Suite" has been renamed to "Test Framework" and should be used for issues that are related to either the framework or missing platforms (eg. a new target on QEMU, an issue that affects multiple individual tests)
- "Tests" should be used for issues related to specific tests
- "Sanitycheck" should be used for issues related to the sanitycheck Python script

Additional labels, such as "Bug" or the relevant architecture(s) should be used to complement the information provided by the Test-related ones.

I have tried to go through all test-related issues and re-label them as appropriate.
Please use the new labels as described.

Thanks,

Carles
