Improve DxCore support - Githubissues

brunob45 commented 1 year ago

Added support for pio run -t bootloader command
Added an option to set the MILLIS_USE_TIMER variable: board_hardware.millistimer (see description in SpenceKonde/DxCore#333)
Added the build flag USING_OPTIBOOT to all DxCore variants when a bootloader is specified (following SpenceKonde/DxCore#329)
~Added board definition file for future AVR-DD & EA chips~

This PR may help closing issues #41 & #42.

oh nice work :D

matou78 commented 1 year ago

hello @brunob45 , Found finally some time to test your things but it didn't change Still the error message when trying to burn the bootloader to a AVR64DA32 or AVR64DA64 chips ( the command 'pio run -t bootloader' is working tough )

The flag 'USING_OPTIBOOT' not working, i still need to add it to the 'build_flag=' myself to platformio.ini if i want to use bootloader

Maybe it's not finished ? i don't know much about this kind of code

brunob45 commented 1 year ago

Hello @matou78 ,

May I get a copy of your platformio.ini config file to try it out?

matou78 commented 1 year ago

Sorry for the delay, too much work ... the build_flags is deactivated because i tried your modifications

[env]
platform = atmelmegaavr
board = AVR64DA32
framework = arduino
board_build.f_cpu = 24000000L

[env:Upload_UART]
;build_flags = -DUSING_OPTIBOOT
upload_protocol = arduino
upload_speed = 115200

[env:serial_updi]
upload_protocol = serialupdi
upload_flags =  -e 
                -v

@matou78 I just pushed a commit to use the latest version of avrdude. Could you try this config?

[env]
; platform is using this PR
platform = https://github.com/brunob45/platform-atmelavrdx#dev/avrea
board = AVR64DA32
framework = arduino
board_build.f_cpu = 24000000L

; Set bootloader serial port : ser0, ser1, or ser2
; For uploads with manual reset (no autoreset circuit), add <_8sec> to the selected port (ex. ser1_8sec)
board_hardware.uart = ser1_8sec

[env:Upload_UART]
upload_protocol = arduino
upload_speed = 115200

[env:serial_updi]
upload_protocol = serialupdi
upload_flags = -e -v

Then, to load the bootloader pio run -e serial_updi -t bootloader and to upload the code pio run -e Upload_UART -t upload

By using the _8sec bootloader, I'm able to power cycle the chip, then quickly launch the upload target. It will execute within this 8 seconds timeout and upload successfully. Be sure to select the correct USART port (0,1, or 2) in the platformio.ini file.

Thanks :) will try it asap

matou78 commented 1 year ago

@brunob45 Just gave it a try , there is few wrong things i found

the name of the .hex files that the builder is calling is wrong , for example the file called is optiboot_dx64_ser1_8sec.hex but the correct one found in the framework is optiboot_64dx_ser1_all_8sec.hex

after i renamed the .hex so it get called without error ,when setting fuses , avrdude was showing an error but i solved it the error was avrdude: unknown option -- because of the upload_flags = -e -v because every upload flag has to be 1 per line


Now that the first part is working i get this

Then i can't chose if i want to upload using bootloader or without it ? When i hit "upload" with serialupdi it sends the program but not the fuses so the chip is stuck in a sort of bootloop and as i hit set fuses, it sends the fuses for the booloader .

Thanks for your time

brunob45 commented 1 year ago

Please check the Platformio documentation in the official DxCore repo. There's a section about how to select the bootloader.

Comparison with Arduino IDE

The board_hardware.uart = ... is where you tell if you are using Optiboot or not.

If you are uploading via UPDI, then you are not using Optiboot, so leave this line commented out. This is the same as selecting the board AVR DA-series (no bootloader) in the Arduino IDE Tools->Board: ... Note that in the Arduino IDE, the menus Tools->Bootloader Serial Port and Bootloader Entry Condition are not present when this board is selected.
If you are uploading via serial (arduino), then tell which Serial Port you'll be using. This is the same as selecting the board AVR DA-series (Optiboot) in the Arduino IDE Tools->Board: ... In the Arduino IDE, you would normally select the bootloader in the menu Tools->Bootloader Serial Port and Bootloader Entry Condition. In PlatformIO, you specify the bootloader using board_hardware.uart = ... (ex. ser1_8sec).

Note that, in the Arduino IDE, the upload_port is dependant on the selected board: Optiboot or no bootloader.

If Optiboot, the upload_port is the equivalent of PlatformIO's arduino.
If no bootloader, the upload_port is the protocol chosen in Tools->Programmer: ....

In other words

If you want to upload via serial

Set board_hardware.uart = ....
Burn the bootloader pio run -t bootloader.
You will not be able to upload via UPDI anymore.

if you want to upload via UPDI

Comment out board_hardware.uart = ....
Reset the fuses pio run -t fuses.
You will not be able to upload via serial anymore.

Hi @brunob45, thanks for the PR. It seems the latest v1.5.6 follows a different bootloader file name pattern, e.g. optiboot_32dd14_ser0_alt3_poronly_8sec.hex. Any thoughts?

matou78 commented 1 year ago

oh shit this is why i didn't understand why i had to rename myself the files x) i updated the dxcore to the latest version manually before i tried this repo

brunob45 commented 1 year ago

@valeros I noticed that too. I thought about different solutions. Should it be backward compatible?

If the dxcore package is updated to 1.5.x, we could just update the bootloader file name pattern. I already fixed it in my branch dev/avrea2 https://github.com/brunob45/platform-atmelavrdx/tree/dev/avrea2

But this won't work for the DD series... Let me try something first

brunob45 commented 1 year ago

@valeros

I edited the bootloader.py script to be able to specify the bootloader. For example, in platformio.ini:

[env]
...
board_bootloader.class = optiboot_32dd14
board_bootloader.port = ser0_alt3         ; Serial Port used for upload
board_bootloader.entrycond = poronly_8sec ; Entry Condition to enable upload
...

The resulting bootloader file would be optiboot_32dd14_ser0_alt3_poronly_8sec.hex.

In another PR, I would like to edit the .json files for all DxCore boards, adding

{
  ...
  "bootloader": {
    "class": "optiboot_32dx"
  },
  ...
}

so the default value for bootloader.class is correct. See:

What do you think about this solution?

@valeros Thank you for the comments, the issues have been fixed
