SPI DMA is used by AliOS VFS file system ... Which is bundled with the BL602 IoT SDK

"AOS" means "AliOS" ... So IoT SDK is actually built on AliOS! But no worries ... I can port the BL602 HAL to ... Without AliOS 😉

But if AliOS is really a complete Embedded Operating System ... Why does IoT SDK still need FreeRTOS? 🤔

SPI Functions are the same as AliOS ... Time to practice my Chinese reading skills

Init the SPI Port ... Looks easy

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Nope it's a trap! Should call "vfs_spi_init_fullname" to init the SPI port

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

1
Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Another trap! "vfs_spi_init_fullname" doesn't return the SPI Device ... It passes the SPI Device to AliOS! Let's create our own function to init the SPI Port without AliOS 🤔

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Init SPI Port ... No more traps!

SPI Data Transfer needs a "void *" parameter ... Which is cast to an "spi_ioc_transfer_t" ... That belongs to AliOS 😭

Saturday night with my lovelies ... @PINE64 and BME280 ... Now connecting SPI

Good Sunday Morning @PINE64 ... And on SPI! Yep this looks right 👍

SPI Transmit and Receive ... Hope this works 🤔

Our SPI program hangs when doing data transfer 🤔

SPI DMA Transfer is hanging inside "hal_spi_dma_trans" ... According to the debug log 🤔

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

1
Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

"hal_spi_dma_trans" hangs while doing SPI DMA transfer because it's waiting for a FreeRTOS Event Group ... Which is supposed to be signalled by the DMA Interrupt Handler. Let's comment out the waiting and see what happens...

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

1
Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Commented out the waiting for SPI DMA ... Yep no more hanging ... But no SPI Data received. Interrupt Counters show that DMA Interrupts weren't triggered.

The plot thickens ... Just like my chicken soup 🤔

These 2 SPI Functions are begging me to call them ... Phew this SPI HAL is confusing 🤔

SPI Transmit seems OK but not SPI Receive ... After calling "hal_spi_init" 🤔

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

SPI DMA uses a Linked List of DMA requests ... Let's dump the DMA Linked List and verify the SPI Transmit and Receive requests

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Aha SPI DMA is now Transmitting AND Receiving! The SPI Mode was incorrect ... Got confused between the AliOS docs and the BL602 implementation 🙁

Received SPI Data is garbage though 🤔

@ThePine64 connected to BME280 and LA2016 Logic Analyser ... Let's sniff the SPI Bus and find out what's wrong!

SPI Data Pins seem to be flipped ... Based on SPI data sniffed by Logic Analyser 🤔

Let's try 2 SPI Transfers instead of 1 ... First SPI Transfer transmits Register ID ... Second SPI Transfer receives the result from BME280

Ugh is disrupting the two SPI Transfers ... By setting the Chip Enable Pin high ... Let's control Chip Enable Pin ourselves with GPIO

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

1
Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Thankfully SPI HAL lets us use GPIO to control the Chip Select Pin ... But we have already configured the pin for SPI Function ... Will this conflict with the GPIO Function? 🤔

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Nope HAL can't control Chip Select Pin by ... Because it has already configured the pin for SPI Port earlier ... Let's control the pin ourselves 👋

Here's how we control Chip Select Pin ourselves ... Using plain old BL602 GPIO

Getting desperate with SPI ... Let's try to dump all BME280 Registers ... And see what works

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

SPI works OK yay @PINE64 ! Had to change SPI Phase from 0 to 1 ... Which doesn't sound logical 🤔

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Phase 1 ... Looks suspiciously like Phase 0 🤔

... Now writing about the 4 fixes I made ... 1️⃣ SPI Data Pins are flipped 2️⃣ SPI Phase should be 1 (though it behaves like 0) 3️⃣ Doing SPI Chip Select ourselves 4️⃣ Pin 0 switches on WiFi LED. Thanks for bearing with this long thread on @PINE64 🙏

@lupyuen MISO MOSI behavior is defined by the clock polarity and phase parameters. You probably have them set differently in both cases.
