broken AVR demos

Postby szilveszter » Mon Jun 14, 2021 5:59 pm

Hi,

I am new to ChibiOS and started to play with the demos. The new 21.6.0 version somehow broke the demos/AVR/NIL-ARDUINO-UNO and demos/AVR/RT-ARDUINO-UNO demos (I tried only these two). FYI. they work perfectly with 20.3.3. I compiled them with the AVR GCC from the Arduino installation directory and also with a custom own compiled AVR-GCC. Finally I flashed them with avrdude over the serial/usb cable the same way as Arduino IDE does. The version 20.3.3 works perfectly, however the 21.6.0 doesn't.

Best regards,
Szilveszter Zsigmond

Hi,

Thanks for finding, The AVR port is not yet tested on 21.6.0 (which is a release candidate), I will look at changes between versions.

Hi again,

I don't know if this is the only problem but in chcore.c you should put this code:

Code: Select all

void _port_switch(thread_t *ntp, thread_t *otp) {

  (void)ntp;
  (void)otp;

  asm volatile ("push    r2");
  asm volatile ("push    r3");
  asm volatile ("push    r4");
  asm volatile ("push    r5");
  asm volatile ("push    r6");
  asm volatile ("push    r7");
  asm volatile ("push    r8");
  asm volatile ("push    r9");
  asm volatile ("push    r10");
  asm volatile ("push    r11");
  asm volatile ("push    r12");
  asm volatile ("push    r13");
  asm volatile ("push    r14");
  asm volatile ("push    r15");
  asm volatile ("push    r16");
  asm volatile ("push    r17");
  asm volatile ("push    r28");
  asm volatile ("push    r29");

#if defined(__CHIBIOS_RT__)
  asm volatile ("movw    r30, r22");
  asm volatile ("in      r0, 0x3d");
  asm volatile ("std     Z+5, r0");
  asm volatile ("in      r0, 0x3e");
  asm volatile ("std     Z+6, r0");

  asm volatile ("movw    r30, r24");
  asm volatile ("ldd     r0, Z+5");
  asm volatile ("out     0x3d, r0");
  asm volatile ("ldd     r0, Z+6");
  asm volatile ("out     0x3e, r0");
#endif

#if defined(__CHIBIOS_NIL__)
  asm volatile ("movw    r30, r22");
  asm volatile ("in      r0, 0x3d");
  asm volatile ("std     Z+0, r0");
  asm volatile ("in      r0, 0x3e");
  asm volatile ("std     Z+1, r0");

  asm volatile ("movw    r30, r24");
  asm volatile ("ldd     r0, Z+0");
  asm volatile ("out     0x3d, r0");
  asm volatile ("ldd     r0, Z+1");
  asm volatile ("out     0x3e, r0");
#endif

  asm volatile ("pop     r29");
  asm volatile ("pop     r28");
  asm volatile ("pop     r17");
  asm volatile ("pop     r16");
  asm volatile ("pop     r15");
  asm volatile ("pop     r14");
  asm volatile ("pop     r13");
  asm volatile ("pop     r12");
  asm volatile ("pop     r11");
  asm volatile ("pop     r10");
  asm volatile ("pop     r9");
  asm volatile ("pop     r8");
  asm volatile ("pop     r7");
  asm volatile ("pop     r6");
  asm volatile ("pop     r5");
  asm volatile ("pop     r4");
  asm volatile ("pop     r3");
  asm volatile ("pop     r2");
  asm volatile ("ret");
}


to replace the existing _port_switch() function. The problem was that "_CHIBIOS_RT_" changed in "__CHIBIOS_RT__" in latest release. This fix will be included in 21.6.1, committed on repository.

Hello,

Just to tell that the demos have been fixed for a while, but sorry I din't notice you since I fixed it.
regards,

Theo.
