  1. Z8 IrDA Flash Loader Dustin Graves March 28, 2006

  2. Goal • Z8 IrDA Flash Loader: Modify a flash loader to use IrDA and write a communication program (in Java) that sends Z8 programs to the Z8. You will need a computer with a working IrDA port (or purchase a IrDA dongle). Dongle must include a driver that enables access as a COM port so you can use the Java COMM API as I don't think the Java USB API is complete yet or use Linux (maybe this will work under cygwin) and the HP Labs Java IrDA API or the JIR API  might work. This will be mostly Java programming. • references: • HP Labs Java IrDA API • JIR API • Z8 IrDA appnote AN0184 • Z8 flash loader appnote AN0118,  appnote AN0164

  4. IrDA Background • Infrared Data Association • An organization that creates, promotes, and standardizes IrDA technology. • A protocol suite designed to provide wireless, line of sight connectivity between devices • Secure, reliable, and low cost point-to-point communication among devices such as PDAs, digital cameras, pagers, set-top boxes, machinery, and computer peripherals • Faulty cables and incompatible connectors/wiring are not an issue. • Devices negotiate connection speed and properties, no user configuration required • High speed IrDA devices are compatible with low speed IrDA devices (All connections start at 9600 bps) • Consists of two main subsets • IrDA Data – Data Exchange • IrDA Control (IrDA-C) – HCI (Keyboard, Mouse, etc)

  5. IrDA Data Properties • Three main transfer rates • Serial Infrared (SIR) – Asynchronous, 9600 – 115200 bps • Resembles standard UART with one start bit, 8 data bits, and one stop bit • Fast Infrared (FIR) – Synchronous, up to 4 Mb/s • Very Fast Infrared (VFIR) – Synchronous, up to 16 Mb/s • Two way communication • Half-duplex • Automatic device discovery • Error correction • Primary and secondary modes of operation • Primary device is similar to a network client – establishes connections with other devices with which to transmit data and commands • Secondary device is similar to a network server – waits for connections from other devices from which to accept data and commands • Multi-layer protocol stack • Support for multiple modes of communication with various devices.

  6. IrDA Protocol Stack • Required Layers • IrPHY – The physical layer • IrLAP – Link Access Protocol • IrLMP – Link Management Protocol • IAS – Information Access Service • Optional Layers • TinyTP – Tiny Transport Protocol • IrOBEX – Object Exchange • IrCOMM – Serial and Parallel Port Emulation • IrLAN – Local Area Network Access • IrTran-P – Transfer Picture Protocol • IrMC – Infrared Mobile Communications • New Additions • IrFM – Financial Management Transactions • IrWW – Wrist Watch Communication

  21. Z8 Flash Loader Relocation • Z8 Flash loader must be moved to a safe Flash memory location • Loading a user program requires addresses 0x00-0x37 (Flash Option Bits, Reset Vector, Interrupt Vectors) to be erased for programming • Flash memory is erased by 512 byte pages • Flash loader must start at address 0x200 to avoid being damaged by erase of first page • Relocation performed through ZDS II Project Settings dialog

  22. Z8 Flash Loader Target Settings • Target settings for Flash Loader • Target Settings specified through Address Space category of Linker tab with ZDS II 4.9.6

  23. Z8 Flash Loader Linker Directives • Special input directive settings to place vector code before startup code • ORDER __VECTORS,STARTUP

  24. User Program Relocation • Target settings for User Program • AN0118 specified 0x4000 as start address • The IrDA Flash loader specifies 0x5000 as start address

  25. User Program Linker Directives

  26. User Program Relocation with Assembly include "ez8.inc" SEGMENT code VECTOR RESET = main ; add the entry point to the reset vector ORG %5000 ; start AFTER the interrupt vector main: CLR R0 LDX 4064,#1 ; PEDD = 0x00; LDX 4065,R0 ...

  27. Z8 Flash Loader Implementation • Implement IrPHY layer for Pico-IrDA • Accept programs with IrOBEX • No feedback is transmitted to sender • Accept programs with IrCOMM • Feedback is transmitted to sender indicating success/failure • Create Flash loader based on program defined by AN0118 • Similar program location strategy • Only useable component is the module for processing Intel Hex16 data and loading Intel Hex16 data to flash • Create a Windows XP program for transmitting IrCOMM data through Winsock API • Send Intel Hex16 file one line (record) at a time as 32 byte increments • Provide progress indicator • Provide final summary

  28. Pico-IrDA IrPHY Implementation • Implement four functions to initialize IrDA device, transmit data, receive data, and wait for data • void irphy_reset(void) – Initialize UART0 and enable IrDA • void irphy_send(uint8_t) – Transmit a byte • uint8_t irphy_wait(int16_t timeout) – Wait specified number of seconds for data to arrive; infinite wait for -1 • uint8_t itphy_receive(void) – Receive a byte • Requires definition of types that are typically found in inttypes.h on UNIX systems • typedef unsigned char uint8_t • …

  29. Reset, Receive, and Transmit #define BAUDRATE (18432000UL / (9600UL * 16UL)) void irphy_reset(void) { U0BRH = (unsigned char)((0xFF00&BAUDRATE)>>0x08); U0BRL = (unsigned char) (0x00FF&BAUDRATE); PAAF |= 0x30; /* Enable UART0 alternate function */ U0CTL0 = 0x40; /* Enable UART0 receive */ U0CTL1 = 0x01; /* Enable UART IR */ } uint8_t irphy_receive(void) { return U0RXD; /* Receive byte */ } void irphy_send(uint8_t v) { U0CTL0 = 0x80; /* Set UART0 to transmit */ while((U0STAT0 & 0x04) == 0); /* Wait for tx buffer to be available */ U0TXD = v; /* Transmit byte */ while((U0STAT0 & 0x02) == 0); /* Wait for tx complete */ U0CTL0 = 0x40; /* Set UART0 to receive */ }

  30. Waiting uint8_t irphy_wait(int16_t timeout) { unsigned char done = 0; if(timeout != -1) { /* Timed wait */ enable_timer3(); /* Initialize timer */ while(!(U0STAT0 & 0x80) && !done) { /* Until read ready or timeout */ if(T3H > 0x48) { /* Count for 1 millisecond */ if(--timeout == 0) /* Done waiting */ done = 1; else { /* Reset timer */ T3H = 0x00; T3L = 0x01; } } } disable_timer3(); /* Disable timer */ } else { while(!(U0STAT0 & 0x80)); } /* Infinite wait */ return (U0STAT0 & 0x80) ? 1 : 0; }

  31. Debugging Pico-IrDA for the Z8 • Time critical transactions and constant state changes make Pico-IrDA difficult to debug • Pico-IrDA comes with a Linux based IrPHY Implementation • Intended for Actisys IR220L serial IrDA dongle • Will work with any serial based IrDA device • Compare Linux implementation with Z8 implementation • Differences most likely due to problems with the compiler • Problems with the Z8 compiler • The following expression is always true: #define IRLMP_DLSAP_C_MASK 0x80 if(req_p->head.dlsap_sel & ~IRLMP_DLSAP_C_MASK) • This prevents the Z8 from connecting to other devices • Replace all references to ~IRLMP_DLSAP_C_MASK with uint8_t inv = ~IRLMP_DLSAP_C_MASK if(req_p->head.dlsap_sel & inv)

  32. Windows XP Program Loader • Open Intel Hex16 file and Initialize Winsock • “Enumerate” available IrDA devices • Returns address of devices within range • Set 9-Wire mode for IrCOMM • Could be unnecessary • Select Z8 from list of devices and establish connection • Read one line from file • Transmit 32 bytes of data to Z8 and wait for response • FLASH_RESULT_DONE – Transmission is complete; print summary to console and exit • FLASH_RESULT_RESEND – Checksum error for line; print an ‘x’ to console and resend line • FLASH_RESULT_NEXT_LINE – Line has been loaded; print a ‘.’ to the console and read next line from file • FLASH_RESULT_NEXT_PART – Send next 32 byte block from current line

  33. Demonstration • IrOBEX and IrCOMM program transmission
