Gen2.2.3 - New board SMART-L-V2.1, two controller boards equipped with STM32F103C8T6)

[zimmii91]

i have found 3 sets of these boards, but unfortunately no firmware as far as i understand it. found this issue a while ago, but still no sollution. https://github.com/EFeru/hoverboard-firmware-hack-FOC/issues/218

[RoboDurden]

Watch my autodetect YouTube videos and run the gd32f103/stm32f103 autodetect binary.. with a 2A constant current power supply or the charger without any battery connected. https://youtu.be/X7bpMX8tCE8

[zimmii91]

thank you! i will try that

[RoboDurden]

My firmwares can be compiled for the GD32F103 and i think that this mcu is compatible to the STM32F103. But noone ever tested my F103 binaries :-( I have 2.2.1 boards here and a test setup ready for such a board to install. But no happiness to do it. I will assign 2.2.3 to your layout. Please upload photos from backside and master / slave

[zimmii91]

Sounds great! here are some pictures. i can gladly try, however i am a bit unsure of the ST-link connections. i have seen in the link i provided that the pins where soldered, and i have done the same, but i want to be sure before connecting. do you have any good suggestion to fint this out?

[RoboDurden]

check with a multimeter which of the 4 pins is GND and which is 3.3V. Then there are only two options for SWCLK and SWDIO

no your firmware does not work on f103 i have tested it, and it do not need a test to know

[RoboDurden]

And you feel no need to explain :-(

[I-hate-2FA]

target is f103, processor f130 is selected, i dont think any explaination is needed

[I-hate-2FA]

back in #77 you already asked me to not use your firmware, theres no reason gen2 cannot work on gen1, additional motor will just be ignored, and itll work without issue if the correct set of hall sensor is detected

[RoboDurden]

Ah thanks for the info. I may have corrected that:

Now i get 44 errors to be fixed :-) Starting with

Maybe i can fix it.

Yes, EferuFOC should work on these Gen2.2 boards. If the pin get traced manually. I would prefer my autodetect :-)

[I-hate-2FA]

Now i get 44 errors to be fixed :-) Starting with

good luck, i have already gave up, supporting gd32f130 on my firmware is easier then supporting mm32f103 beause it is core m3

Yes, EferuFOC should work on these Gen2.2 boards. If the pin get traced manually. I would prefer my autodetect :-)

77 all pins is traced manually without error, but i still does not work, gen1 code is a nightmare to work with, anyone should not attempt to support none standard hardware, it is a complete waste of time and effort, and terrible customer support in the issue, working with you is much better

[RoboDurden]

If it is a 64kB mcu, my SimpleFOC should run. I tested it with a Gen1 board.

[I-hate-2FA]

it is 128 or 256k mcu i am not familiar with the simplefoc version, but it is written by oop fan it should be understandable unlike the gen1

[RoboDurden]

25 errors :-/ Problem is that the GD32F10x_StdPeripherals are version 2.0.2 and not compatible to the v3 of GD32F1x0. Main problem is to understand how the AF AlternateFunctions did word in those old days..

[I-hate-2FA]

do not use CSDN website, it is complete trash, a android system developer copied code from there and caused a huge bug that involve infinite loop

core m3 do not have pinmodeAF, thats why i gave up

[RoboDurden]

It might be better to start with https://github.com/Candas1/Split_Hoverboard_SimpleFOC my fork adds aditional hoverboard classes which makes the OO structure more complex.. The Candas1 repo was the repo where we made the motor running..

[I-hate-2FA]

do not use CSDN website

https://youtu.be/kE9tUAPU-0c

[RoboDurden]

searching for GPIO_TIMER0_FULL_REMAP or GPIO_TIMER0_PARTIAL_REMAP only give me Chinese webseites :-/ GD is from China of course. If i would find some other code, i might be able to copy and paste..

[RoboDurden]

There is a gd32F103 Gen2 repo that seems to have done the port: https://github.com/JohMah/Hoverboard-JC2015.7.31.V2.0-Hack/blob/main/HoverBoardGD32F10x/Src/setup.c But i can not yet get it compiled:

Build target 'Target 1'
Error instantiating RTE components
Error #544: Required Software Pack 'GigaDevice.GD32F1x0_DFP.3.1.0' is not installed

Good night from Germany.

[RoboDurden]

Now this other repo comiles with

gd32f10x_misc.c : NVIC->IP -> NVIC->IPR NVIC->IPR[nvic_irq] = (uint8_t)temp_priority;

main.c: //#include "arm_math.h" - will this affect code speed ?

And a gd32f1x0_3.03 software pack had to be deselected in

This Hoverboard-JC2015.7.31.V2.0 is Gen2.2.1 by the way, so i should be able to test it myself. But there might be a difference between GD32F103 and STM32F103:

your bldc driver is different than gd32 board. its original stm32f103c8t6. the difference for gd32f103c have timer0=timer1 at stm32 etc. https://github.com/JohMah/Hoverboard-JC2015.7.31.V2.0-Hack/issues/3

[I-hate-2FA]

gpio_pin_remap_config timer0 leads me there but i can not speak Chinese..

i have read it anyways, but it do not explain complementary pwm, so it is not useful anyways most people use stm32f103 library, because it is fully compatible with gd32f103(mm32f103 is not quite fully compatible)

There is a gd32F103 Gen2 repo that seems to have done the port: https://github.com/JohMah/Hoverboard-JC2015.7.31.V2.0-Hack/blob/main/HoverBoardGD32F10x/Src/setup.c

the repo owner didnt invest time in the readme, i doubt it have nice code structure that allow you to change all the pins, so it would be just like gen1 very hard to modify, i would be happy if it wasnt the case but well im not holding my breath

[I-hate-2FA]

i have checked, it is not as bad as i thought, the adc channel is editable in defines.h unlike gen1

[RoboDurden]

According to the three issues, that firmware did actually work for some users. And take a look at the eagle/ folder!

My approach in Gen2.x is to provide wrapper defines/functions in target.h. This is sufficient to remove all errors from it.c

#elif defined GD32F103
    #include "gd32f10x.h"
...
    // it.c
    #define TIMER0_BRK_UP_TRG_COM_IRQHandler TIMER0_UP_IRQHandler
    #define adc_software_trigger_enable(a) adc_software_trigger_enable(ADC0,a)
    #define dma_interrupt_flag_get(a,b) dma_interrupt_flag_get(DMA0,a,b)
    #define dma_interrupt_flag_clear(a,b)   dma_interrupt_flag_clear(DMA0,a,b)

But i guess it would be better to add a setup_gd32f103.c because of too many syntax changes. I stopped at 40% for ADC_init():

    #define RCU_ADC RCU_ADC0
    #define RCU_DMA RCU_DMA0
    #define RCU_ADCCK_APB2_DIV6 RCU_CKADC_CKAPB2_DIV6
    #define dma_deinit(a) dma_deinit(DMA0, a)
    #define ADC_RDATA ADC_RDATA(ADC0)
    #define dma_init(a,b) dma_init(DMA0,a,b)
    #define dma_circulation_enable(a) dma_circulation_enable(DMA0,a)
    #define dma_memory_to_memory_disable(a) dma_memory_to_memory_disable(DMA0,a)

    #define DMA_Channel0_IRQn DMA0_Channel0_IRQn
    #define TARGET_nvic_irq_enable(a, b, c){nvic_irq_enable(a, b, c);}

And #define ADC_RDATA ADC_RDATA(ADC0) is not working because you can not redefine a define.. So i need a new define TARGET_ADC_RDATA that either maps to ADC_RDATA or ADC_RDATA(ADC0)

But this guy has already made the full port, so i could test his code with my Gen2.2.1 and then integrate it in my Gen2.x

But i do not really see any future for my old block commutation motor control.

It is a bit strange that you @I-hate-2FA Linux believer openly dislikes the EFeru firmware. You can find my rant here: https://github.com/EFeru/hoverboard-firmware-hack-FOC/issues/134 So i dream that you have begun to love the beauty of OOP.

[I-hate-2FA]

According to the three issues, that firmware did actually work for some users.

i never doubted if itll work on the repo owners board, but i doubted it is modifiable for other layout(i have checked, it is actually better then i thought, not as good as mine but it is acceptable)

But i guess it would be better to add a setup_gd32f103.c because of too many syntax changes.

thats exactly what ill do , seperate initialize.c and hardware.c

But i do not really see any future for my old block commutation motor control.

indeed, sine wave is really good, but square wave is better then nothing

It is a bit strange that you @I-hate-2FA Linux believer openly dislikes the EFeru firmware.

i used to like gen1, but after actually working with it once i now understand it is terrible, and thats not the worst part, the maintainer is not helpful, it make me not want to use it

So i dream that you have begun to love the beauty of OOP.

maybe i will, i have already learned allot from this project, before this i actually write the pin number in the code without using define

[zimmii91]

Hi guys! can i do anything to help here? i was trying to connect the board with my ST-link as mentioned earlier, i found the 3.3v and GND using the multimeter, but the other 2 pins does not seem to work as expected. i do not get the program to recognize the chip. do you have any tip on how i may solve this?

would is help to run the autodetect firmware once i get connected properly? @RoboDurden

[RoboDurden]

Sorry i have no happiness to help people who go silent for three weeks :-(

As you can read here, there is another github repo that succeeded with stm32f103 Gen2 board. When you have succeeded with that firmware with the pins of your board traced manually, you can come back here to help.

[I-hate-2FA]

for other 2 pin you can just try both combination if it still doesnt work, it is not the swd pin, maybe rf remorte or serial swd pin is reletively easy to trace manually

[zimmii91]

Thank you for the suggestion, i do not have enough knowledge to follow everything you mentioned earlier, i only used the gen1 board which hade all this information available from different sources.

when i look at the datasheet for this chip i find that PA13 is for SWDIO and PA14 for SWCLK, but i get confused of the different pinvariations mentioned that i assume is for variant models of the chip. however it seems that they should be placed in the top right corner, one on top right and one on 3rd pin down from right side. not sure what i should expect when i meassure the pins to be honest, was expecting to find a connection similar to how i was able to define GND and 3,3V, but unfortunately i am not able to.

reading the datasheet i found this information, maybe this is helpful? "Serial wire JTAG debug port (SWJ-DP) The ARM SWJ-DP Interface is embedded. and is a combined JTAG and serial wire debug port that enables either a serial wire debug or a JTAG probe to be connected to the target. The JTAG TMS and TCK pins are shared with SWDIO and SWCLK, respectively, and a specific sequence on the TMS pin is used to switch between JTAG-DP and SW-DP. "

[zimmii91]

oh wait. i hade it connected wrong. and assumed the position of the board was stated as the text showed on it, which it is not. i will try finding that test firmware and try it out. thank you anyway.

[I-hate-2FA]

is it really that hard, just look at the wiki and the datasheet of the chip remember, if it is gen1, theres no such customer support like im doing now!

[zimmii91]

is it really that hard, just look at the wiki and the datasheet of the chip remember, if it is gen1, theres no such customer support like im doing now!

Yes my bad. i seem to have tried tracing the pins PB12 and PB11 thinking that was the ones, not realizing the chip was turned. all on me. really appreciate the support, thank you!

[zimmii91]

Hi again. For me, this was really a challenge. i have no experience in compiling firmware or understanding the code, but i have given it some time now. however i have to admit defeat as i do not get anywhere. i really wanted to be able to contribute at this point in time. As i know it is not on you to teach these basics i can only say, sorry to have waisted your time guys.

[I-hate-2FA]

sorry, working on the f103 is just a waste of time, because there is no easily adaptable firmware for this mcu, this repo is for gd32f130, i also have a repo for all mm32 series, which a brand new pair of board only cost $2, i dont understand why you would use other ones

[zimmii91]

Oh that sounds great! i bought a couple of Hoverboards and have about 4 pairs of the same f103, it seems that is the only thing selling in Sweden. Tell me, where can i find the MM32 bords for $2? that would make it so much easier.

[I-hate-2FA]

www,aliexpress,com/item/1005005959910034.html you can only get it for $2 in china unfortunately, but i think $3.5 is still good

[zimmii91]

Wow Thank you! This is really helpful! i was hoping to find something like this. Appreciate the help!

[L1mp4]

Nice. Feels like a loss tho, does it not? Not being able to use perfectly good electronics lying on the table. Wish i was capable of solving this. I am not.

[I-hate-2FA]

f103 is core m3 insted of m0(gd32f130 is also m3, but the structure is copied from stm32f030, which is m0), so it is impossible to adapt firmware for it, only way is to rewrite everything

[I-hate-2FA]

you can always replace the mcu, but i think it is just not worth the effort, unless you need a board right now

[L1mp4]

Nah. I ordered something else to get the motors working. Maybe someone with the skills will get hold of a lot of these boards in the future and make it happend. :-)
