ADC configuration tool

Postby ceremcem » Wed May 13, 2020 11:03 am

I'm having hard times while finding my way along with the ADC parameters. Being have to remember all the tiny parameters is uncool IMHO. Is there any configuration tool for that purpose?

If not, I'm planning to create a Web UI with dropdowns and such, that will generate the desired ADCConversionGroup struct. User will only copy and paste the resulting struct into the code.

I'm opening this thread in order to prevent a duplicate work if it already exists.

Hi,

A while ago I started making an ADC configuration generator but then there are always more urgent things to do.

What it is done is a prototype of generator template written in FreeMarker; ./tools/ftl/libs/libstm32f4xx.ftl

I have no immediate plans to resume this thing.

Very nice to hear that! So this is a real necessity and this approach is accurate. Thanks for the fast response.

Hi Giovanni,

I made something that barely states my intention: https://aktos.io/chibi-config/ (source code here).

I need some sort of assistance, if you could. The .c and .h files are actually Ractive templates and I'm basically generating .c and .h files from those templates by user supplied pin configuration data (from web interface). I'm obtaining the available MCU types from CubeMX's XML database, which currently has 1162 defined MCU types.

I'm confused about how to match the MCU definitions in board.h by the user supplied MCU type (one of those).

I thought I could automatically match with file names in $CHIBIOS/os/common/ext/ST/ but it contains some unpredictable files (such as system_stm32l0xx.h).

How should I obtain the list of available ChibiOS MCU family types without parsing the whole .h files under os/common/ext/ST/?

Hi,

There is an XML here: \tools\ftl\processors\processors.xml

However it only lists MCUs supported by the board files generator.

It only lists a few, not useful for the purpose.

May I depend on extracting the definitions from os/common/ext/ST/**/*xx.h files? I can parse and extract the definitions from

Code: Select all

...if defined(STMxxx)

lines by the following Bash code:

Code: Select all

find os/common/ext/ST/ -type f -iname "*xx.h*" -print0 \
    | xargs -0 egrep "if defined\(STM.*\)" \
    | sed -r 's/.*\((.*)\)/\1/g'

Not all devices are necessarily supported even if the header is there. There is no "official" interface to get supported devices.

Demos lead a little:

Code: Select all

$ grep -i "MCU type, supported types" os/hal/boards/ -R
os/hal/boards/MAPLEMINI_STM32_F103/board.h: * MCU type, supported types are defined in ./os/hal/platforms/hal_lld.h.

os/hal/boards/GOLDBULL_STM32_F107VC/board.h: * MCU type, supported types are defined in ./os/hal/platforms/hal_lld.h.



Although there is no ./os/hal/platforms/hal_lld.h file in ChibiOS tree, there are various hal_lld.h files:

Code: Select all

$ find -name hal_lld.h
./os/hal/ports/LPC/LPC214x/hal_lld.h
./os/hal/ports/STM32/STM32F0xx/hal_lld.h
./os/hal/ports/STM32/STM32F1xx/hal_lld.h
./os/hal/ports/STM32/STM32F37x/hal_lld.h

./os/hal/ports/SPC5/SPC56ECxx/hal_lld.h
./os/hal/ports/SPC5/SPC56ELxx/hal_lld.h
./os/hal/templates/hal_lld.h


In every hal_lld.h file, here is a useful comment for the purpose, such as:

Code: Select all

/**
 * @file    STM32F0xx/hal_lld.h
 * @brief   STM32F0xx HAL subsystem low level driver header.
 * @pre     This module requires the following macros to be defined in the
 *          @p board.h file:
 *          - STM32_LSECLK.
 *          - STM32_LSEDRV.
 *          - STM32_LSE_BYPASS (optionally).
 *          - STM32_HSECLK.
 *          - STM32_HSE_BYPASS (optionally).
 *          .
 *          One of the following macros must also be defined:
 *          - STM32F030x4, STM32F030x6, STM32F030x8, STM32F030xC,
 *            STM32F070x6, STM32F070xB for Value Line devices.
 *          - STM32F031x6, STM32F051x8, STM32F071xB, STM32F091xC
 *            for Access Line devices.
 *          - STM32F042x6, STM32F072xB for USB Line devices.
 *          - STM32F038xx, STM32F048xx, STM32F058xx, STM32F078xx,
 *            STM32F098xx for Low Voltage Line devices.
 *          .


Should I parse those files? Would the syntax change in comments?

You could but don't trust those to be updated, the format would not change anyway, that is Doxygen.

Okay. Give me something then? There should be a way to obtain that list, right?

To be clear, I'm trying to create a configuration tool for ChibiOS. It's much easier to support only MCU's that I personally use. That would prevent all the trouble.

I'm okay with what I'm asking is a paid service, but this should be clearly stated. Of course, you might be busy with some other thing and that's also something understandable. Except those, please lead me to a solution. If there isn't any, let's figure something out?
