GPIO Interrupts: Should we use Sync or Async Interrupts for ? 🤔 ... BL602 IoT SDK uses Async Interrupts to handle GPIO Buttons ... Let's do the same for LoRa

github.com/bouffalolab/bl_iot_

Maybe High Level Trigger Interrupt = High Priority Interrupt = Sync Interrupt? 🤔 ... Lemme check the original Chinese Reference Manual

github.com/bouffalolab/bl_docs

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

My bad ... High Level Trigger Interrupt = 高电平触发中断 = Trigger Interrupt on Logic High ... Nothing to do with priority 🤔

Let's test whether SX1276 triggers GPIO Interrupts correctly on ... When it receives a LoRa Packet ... The Interrupt Counters shall tell us

Flashed the Transmitter to @RAKwireless ... This Arduino program transmits "Hello" in a LoRa Packet every 5 seconds

When transmits Packets ... Our LoRa Receiver hangs! ... Let's find out why 🤔

Maybe is stuck forever handling Packet Received Interrupts? 🤔 ... Let's suppress GPIO Interrupts after handling the first 5 interrupts

And still hangs when transmits Packets ... Chaos Magic 🤔

Something spooky about GPIO Interrupts 🤔 ... Let's disconnect SX1276 pins DIO1 to DIO3 ... And connect DIO0 to my fav Blue LED (GPIO 11)

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

1
Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Blue LED switches off ... When transmits a Packet ... So DIO0 Packet Received works! Why does the GPIO Interrupt hang? 🤔

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

GPIO Interrupt triggered OK when Packet received yay! ... But why does it work now? 🤔

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

GPIO Interrupts hanging could be due to the way we handle multiple GPIO Interrupts ... Let's revisit this when we can trigger multiple GPIO Interrupts from SX1276

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Now that can handle Packet Received Interrupt ... Let's defer the LoRa Packet Processing from the Interrupt Handler to the Application Task ... How shall we do this in FreeRTOS? 🤔

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Maybe can help ! ... The NimBLE Porting Layer defines Multitasking Functions for ... Let's call them to handle Interrupts

NimBLE Porting Layer hasn't been ported ... To ? 🤔 ... Let's fix this for

Fortunately has a function to check whether we're in a Interrupt Handler ... "xPortIsInsideInterrupt"

NimBLE Porting Layer builds OK on yay! ... Let's call these Event Queue functions to process our received Packets

lupyuen.github.io/pinetime-rus

Multitasking made easier with NimBLE Porting Library ... Here's how we create an Event Queue ... And add an Event to the queue

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Now we handle Events from the Event Queue ... Multitasking made easier with NimBLE Porting Library

NimBLE Porting Library works great on ... Multitasking made easier!

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Shall we teach Multitasking with NimBLE Porting Layer? 1️⃣ Looks easier than FreeRTOS 2️⃣ It's portable to FreeRTOS, Mynewt, NuttX and RIOT OS 🤔

lupyuen.github.io/pinetime-rus

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Let's use the Event Queue to forward the Packet Received Interrupt ... From Interrupt Handler ... To the Application Task

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

1
Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Packet goes from Transmitter ... To SX1276 Interrupt Handler ... To Task yay! Now we read the received LoRa Packet from SX1276 over SPI

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Aha! hits a Exception ... When processing the received Packet! Let's follow these steps to troubleshoot...

Our Build, Flash and Run Firmware script generates the Disassembly ... Let's track down the address of the RISC-V Exception

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Oops the Program Counter for our Exception is null ... So there must be a missing Callback Function somewhere in our Firmware 🤔

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Exception happened because we passed a pointer to a stack object ... Which gets used by the Interrupt Handler 😲 ... This works OK in the original Mynewt code, but not for BL602

gist.github.com/lupyuen/1539f9

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

For we fix this exception by copying the object ... Instead of storing a pointer to the object

Mystery GPIO Function ... What does it do? Will it fix our problem with triggering multiple GPIO Interrupts? 🤔

Reference Manual mentions "GPIO_INT_CLR" but the address is undefined in the doc ... Methinks a chunk of addresses are missing from the doc 🤔

Searching GitHub for "GPIO_INT_CLR" shows ultraembedded RISC-V SoC ... Coincidence? 🤔

Here's the Exception Handler ... Seems capable of showing the Stack Trace 🤔

github.com/bouffalolab/bl_iot_

shows Stack Trace when CONFIG_ENABLE_FP=1 ... But the addresses don't make sense ... They belong to the code that's dumping the Stack Trace 🤔

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Oops needs us to "make clean ; make" to fix up the Stack Frame Pointers ... Now BL602 Stack Trace points to the "ebreak" instruction ... Which belongs to the Exception Handler 🙄

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Lup Yuen Lee 李立源

Deciphering the Stack Trace Hieroglyphics ... There must be a way to get the Stack Frame before our Exception 🤔

Stack Trace always shows the Current Stack ... Let's show the stack before hitting the Exception

github.com/bouffalolab/bl_iot_
