# HAL for the Vorago VA416xx MCU family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This repository contains the **H**ardware **A**bstraction **L**ayer (HAL), which is an additional
|
|
|
|
|
hardware abstraction on top of the [peripheral access API](https://egit.irs.uni-stuttgart.de/rust/va416xx-rs/src/branch/main/va416xx).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is the result of reading the datasheet for the device and encoding a type-safe layer over the
|
|
|
|
|
raw PAC. This crate also implements traits specified by the
|
|
|
|
|
[embedded-hal](https://github.com/rust-embedded/embedded-hal) project, making it compatible with
|
|
|
|
|
various drivers in the embedded rust ecosystem.

You have to enable one of the following device features to use this crate depending on
|
|
|
|
|
which chip you are using:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `va41630`
|
|
|
|
|
- `va41629`
|
|
|
|
|
- `va41628`
|
|
|
|
|
- `va41620`

## Building
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building an application requires the `thumbv7em-none-eabihf` cross-compiler toolchain.
|
|
|
|
|
If you have not installed it yet, you can do so with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
|
rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After that, you can use `cargo build` to build the development version of the crate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have not done this yet, it is recommended to read some of the excellent resources
|
|
|
|
|
available to learn Rust:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [Rust Embedded Book](https://docs.rust-embedded.org/book/)
|
|
|
|
|
- [Rust Discovery Book](https://docs.rust-embedded.org/discovery/)
|
|
|

## Setting up your own binary crate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have a custom board, you might be interested in setting up a new binary crate for your
|
|
|
|
|
project. These steps aim to provide a complete list to get a binary crate working to flash
|
|
|
|
|
your custom board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The hello world of embedded development is usually to blinky a LED. This example
|
|
|
|
|
is contained within the
|
|
|
|
|
[examples folder](https://egit.irs.uni-stuttgart.de/rust/va416xx-rs/src/branch/main/examples/simple/examples/blinky.rs).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Set up your Rust cross-compiler if you have not done so yet. See more in the [build chapter](#Building)
|
|
|
|
|
2. Create a new binary crate with `cargo init`
|
|
|
|
|
3. To ensure that `cargo build` cross-compiles, it is recommended to create a `.cargo/config.toml`
|
2024-07-01 14:54:47 +02:00
|
|
|
file. You can use [this](https://egit.irs.uni-stuttgart.de/rust/va416xx-rs/src/branch/main/.cargo/def-config.toml)
|
|
|
|
|
sample file as a starting point.
|

|
|
|
4. Copy the `memory.x` file into your project. This file contains information required by the linker.
|
|
|
|
|
5. Copy the `blinky.rs` file to the `src/main.rs` file in your binary crate
|
|
|
|
|
6. You need to add some dependencies to your `Cargo.toml` file
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
|
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
|
|
|
cortex-m = "<Compatible Version>"
|
|
|
|
|
cortex-m-rt = "<Compatible Version>"
|
|
|
|
|
panic-halt = "<Compatible Version>"
|
|
|
|
|
embedded-hal = "<Compatible Version>"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[dependencies.va416xx-hal]
|
|
|
|
|
version = "<Most Recent Version>"
|
2024-07-19 06:19:28 +02:00
|
|
|
features = ["va41630"]
|
2021-12-07 00:31:51 +01:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Build the application with `cargo build`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Flashing the board might work differently for different boards and there is usually
|
|
|
|
|
more than one way. You can find example instructions in primary README.
