The nxp_driver v2.10 allows for/requires some changes to the code:
- Remove some part of pwm_backlog.*, which is provided by the lib now.
- Change eth.c: the newer versions have additional parameters of the
library versions.
- Change sdcard.c: use TransferBlocking instead of TransferNonblocking.
- Add some support for the MIMXRT1176 device.
- Set the clocks for UART, I2C, Timer.
- Integrate the I2S module and fix a rebase error.
- Use blocking transfer only for SPI. It's faster and interferes less with
other modules.
- Use the clock_config.c files of library v2.8.5. The mimxrt files keeps
the clock_config.c files from Verson 2.8.5. With clock_config.c from
v2.10, the boards do not work. Refactoring of the clock set-up is on the
to-do list.
- Enable expiry timers for UART, I2C and SPI, avoiding a stall in library
code.
- The clock_config.* files are moved from the board-specific directories to
the boards directory and given a MCU related name.
Ensure the symmetry of PWM: the duty rate of X and Q channels was not 50%,
when it should have been. That is evident at high frequencies, like 15Mhz
or 37.5 MHz. At low frequencies the deviation mattered less. The A/B
channels were fine.
Also round up or down non-integer division factors. Before, always the
floor value was used.
If in a board's mkconfigboard.mk the following symbol is set:
MICROPY_HW_BOARD_FLASH_FILES = 1
then the files:
($BOARD)_flexspi_flash_config.h and
qspi_nor_flash_config.c and/or
qspi_hyper_flash_config.c
are expected in the board directory. Otherwise the common files from
the hal directory are used.
- Move the qspi_xxxx_flash_config.c files to hal.
It turned out that they are less board than flash type specific.
- Change to a common flexspi_flash_config.h header file.
Thanks for the hint, Damien. The DEBUG build got very large recently.
The major difference is, that inline function are now inlined and
not included as a function. That's good and maybe bad. The good thing is,
that the code speed si now close to the final code. It could be worse
in single step debugging. I'll see.
Setting this option caused a new warning and a formatting error
to pop up at different places. Fixed as well.
Just another choice for the PHY interface.
Added: Keyword option phy_clock=LAN.IN or LAN.OUT
to define the source of the 50MHZ clock for the PHY
interface. The RMII clock is not enabled if it
is generated by a PYH board. Constants:
LAN.IN The clock is provided by the PHY board.
LAN.OUT The clock is provided by the MCU board.
The default is LAN.OUT or the value set in mpconfigboard.h, which
is currently set to IN only for the SEEED ARCH MIX board. Usage etc:
lan = LAN(phy_type=LAN.PHY_DP83848, phy_clock=LAN.IN)
Frequency range 15Hz/18Hz to > 1 MHz, with decreasing resolution of the
duty cycle. The basic API is supported as documentated, except that
keyword parameters are accepted for both the instatiaton and the
PWM.init() call.
Extensions: support PWM for channel pairs. Channel pairs are declared by
supplying 2-element tuples for the pins. The two channels of a pair must
be the A/B channel of a FLEXPWM module. These form than a complementary
pair.
Additional supported keyword arguments:
- center=value Defines the center position of a pulse within the pulse
cycle. The align keyword is actually shortcut for center.
- sync=True|False: If set to True, the channels will be synchronized to a
submodule 0 channel, which has already to be enabled.
- align=PWM.MIDDLE | PMW.BEGIN | PWM.END. It defines, whether synchronized
channels are Center-Aligned or Edge-aligned. The channels must be either
complementary a channel pair or a group of synchronized channels. It may
as well be applied to a single channel, but withiout any benefit.
- invert= 0..3. Controls ouput inversion of the pins. Bit 0 controls the
first pin, bit 1 the second.
- deadtime=time_ns time of complementary channels for delaying the rising
slope.
- xor=0|1|2 xor causes the output of channel A and B to be xored. If
applied to a X channel, it shows the value oif A ^ B. If applied to an A
or B channel, both channel show the xored signal for xor=1. For xor=2,
the xored signal is split between channels A and B. See also the
Reference Manual, chapter about double pulses. The behavior of xor=2 can
also be achieved using the center method for locating a pulse within a
clock period.
The output is enabled for board pins only.
CPU pins may still be used for FLEXPWM, e.g. as sync source, but the signal
will not be routed to the output. That applies only to FLEXPWM pins. The
use of QTMR pins which are not board pins will be rejected.
As part of this commit, the _WFE() statement is removed from
ticks_delay_us64() to prevent PWM glitching during calls to sleep().
This commit implements 10/100 Mbit Ethernet support in the mimxrt port.
The following boards are configured without ETH network:
- MIMXRT1010_EVK
- Teensy 4.0
The following boards are configured with ETH network:
- MIMXRT1020_EVK
- MIMXRT1050_EVK
- MIMXRT1060_EVK
- MIMXRT1064_EVK
- Teensy 4.1
Ethernet support tested with TEENSY 4.1, MIMRTX1020_EVK and MIMXRT1050_EVK.
Build tested with Teensy 4.0 and MIMXRT1010_EVK to be still working.
Compiles and builds properly for MIMXRT1060_EVK and MIMXRT1064_EVK, but not
tested lacking suitable boards.
Tested functions are:
- ping works bothway
- simple UDP transfer works bothway
- ntptime works
- the ftp server works
- secure socker works
- telnet and webrepl works
The MAC address is 0x02 plus 5 bytes from the manifacturing info field,
which can be considered as unique per device.
Some boards do not wire the RESET and INT pin of the PHY transceiver. For
operation, these are not required. If they are defined, they will be used.
- Moves definition of BOARD_FLASH_SIZE and other header files related to
flash configuration into the Makefile.
- Adds board specific clock_config.h.
- Adds board.h, pin_mux.h, and peripherals.h as they are
required by NXP MCU SDK in order to use our own clock_config.h.
- Renames board specific FlexSPI configuration files.
- Updates flash frequency of MIMXRT1020_EVK
- Creates separated flash_config files for QSPI NOR and
QSPI Hyper flash.
- Unifies VFS start address to be @ 1M for 1010 and 1020 boards.
- Unifies 1050EVK boards
- Adds support to both NOR and HyperFlash on boards with
both capabilities.
- Adds automatic FlexRAM initialization to start-up code based on
linker script and NXP HAL.
- Applies code formatting to all files in mimxrt port.
With this change the flash configuration is restructured and
organized. This simplifies the configuration process and
provides a better overview of each board's settings. With the integration
of clock_config.h, board.h, pin_mux.h, and peripherals.h we gain better
control of the settings and clock configurations. Furthermore the
implementation of an explicit FlexRAM setup improves the system
performance and allows for performance tuning.

Hyperflash is used by the MIMXRT1050_EVKB, MIMXRT1060_EVK and
MIMXRT1064_EVK boards.
This commit includes:
- add support for Hyperflash
- modify MIMXRT1060_EVK and MIMXRT1064_EVK to change from QSPI to
hyperflash.
- minor incidental changes to other boards so they still build
Note: Erasing a sector on the hyperflash is slow. It takes about a second,
which seems too long, but matches the data sheet.
This commit adds full support for a filesystem on all boards, with a block
device object mimxrt.Flash() and uos.VfsLfs2 enabled.
Main changes are:
- Refactoring of linker scripts to accomodate reserved area for VFS. VFS
will take up most of the available flash. 1M is reserved for code. 9K is
reserved for flash configuration, interrupts, etc.
- Addition of _boot.py with filesystem init code, called from main.c.
- Definition of the mimxrt module with a Flash class in modmimxrt.[ch].
- Implementation of a flash driver class in mimxrt_flash.c. All flashing
related functions are stored in ITCM RAM.
- Addition of the uos module with filesystem functions.
- Implementation of uos.urandom() for the sake of completeness of the uos
module.
It uses sample code from CircuitPython supplied under MIT license, which
uses the NXP SDK example code.
Done in collaboration with Philipp Ebensberger aka @alphaFred who
contributed the essential part to enable writing to flash while code is
executing, among other things.
