Buggy firmware when compiling with GCC-ARM version 12 #70

Open Ho-Ro opened 1 year ago

Ho-Ro commented 1 year ago

Compiling the source code with debian stable gcc version 12.2.1 20221205 (15:12.2.rel1-1) gives a buggy firmware - latest tinySA version as well as older versions: buggy_version error_4 error_all

This is what I see with the input terminated with 50 Ohm and with the 30 MHz calibration signal: error_in_none error_in_30MHz

During compile it gives a lot of warnings:

(I see comparable warnings when compiling the NanoVNA firmware.)

After downgrade to the debian oldstable version gcc version 8.3.1 20190703 (release) [gcc-8-branch revision 273027] (15:8-2019-q3-1+b1) it compiles fine with only one warning (I must again remove the comments in nanovna.h to compile the tinySA3 version):

ok_version selftest_ok

This is what I see with the input terminated with 50 Ohm and with the 30 MHz calibration signal: ok_in_none ok_in_30MHz

I think this related to gcc speed optimisation, TinySA code critical to execute timings and can depend from how compiler optimise code Most of warnings related to ChibiOS low level code

Ho-Ro commented 1 year ago

Erik uses gcc version 7.2.1 (see below), I have gcc version 8.3.1. Is version 9 the latest "good" version for tinySA? I see that 12.x works well for NanoVNA.

Version: tinySA_v1.4-96-gc1fcd94
Build Time: May 11 2023 - 08:41:39
Kernel: 4.0.0
Compiler: GCC 7.2.1 20170904 (release) [ARM/embedded-7-branch revision 255204]
DiSlord commented 1 year ago

Difficult to answer, as I test code generation for NanoVNA, gcc last v9 provide more compact code. After code size bigger but not chage size, up to v12

Also as I see v7 (code build by Eric) more bigger then my builded in v9. And need test how gcc v9 code work on Tiny (several wait delays hardcoded and depend from how fast code)
