flags now just hold parameters of the JTAG interface and some secondary
serial, parallel, pseudo parallel info. This separation brings clarity. It
used to be hard to augur whether a part has an ISP interface:
(part->flags & (AVRPART_HAS_PDI | AVRPART_AVR32 | AVRPART_HAS_TPI
| AVRPART_HAS_UPDI)) == 0 && (part->flags & AVRPART_SERIALOK) != 0
or had HVSP or HVPP capability, for that matter. Now it is just, eg,
part->prog_modes & PM_ISP
part->prog_modes & PM_HVPP
- Add prog_modes to part and programmer definitions; prog_mode is a bitwise
or of programming modes
+ PM_SPM: Bootloaders, self-programming with SPM/NVM Controllers
+ PM_TPI: t4, t5, t9, t10, t20, t40, t102, t104
+ PM_ISP: SPI programming for In-System Programming (typ classic parts)
+ PM_PDI: Program and Debug Interface (xmega parts)
+ PM_UPDI: Unified Program and Debug Interface
+ PM_HVSP: High Voltage Serial Programming (some classic parts)
+ PM_HVPP: High Voltage Parallel Programming (most non-HVSP classic parts)
+ PM_debugWIRE: Simpler alternative to JTAG (a subset of HVPP/HVSP parts)
+ PM_JTAG: some classic parts, some xmega
+ PM_aWire: AVR32 parts
- Add mcuid, a unique id in 0..2039, to part definition for urclock programmer
- Add n_interrupts, the number of interrupts, to part definition
- Add n_page_erase to part definition (# of pages erased during NVM erase)
- Implement a simple calculator in config_gram.y so numeric values can be
expressed as simple expressions such as PM_SPM | PM_UPDI
- Introduce a new method of assigning simple components to the grammar without
touching config_gram.y via an eligible-component list in config.c; numeric
expressions on the rhs of an assignment resolve to integer values
- Update documentation in avrdude.conf.in and avrdude.texi
In order to get meaningful const properties for the PROGRAMMER, AVRPART and
AVRMEM arguments, some code needed to be moved around, otherwise a network of
"tainted" assignments risked rendering nothing const:
- Change void (*enable)(PROGRAMMER *pgm) to void (*enable)(PROGRAMMER *pgm,
const AVRPART *p); this allows changes in the PROGRAMMER structure after
the part is known. For example, use TPI, UPDI, PDI functions in that
programmer appropriate to the part. This used to be done later in the
process, eg, in the initialize() function, which "taints" all other
programmer functions wrt const and sometimes requires other finessing with
flags etc. Much clearer with the modified enable() interface.
- Move TPI initpgm-type code from initialize() to enable() --- note that
initpgm() does not have the info at the time when it is called whether or
not TPI is required
- buspirate.c: move pgm->flag to PDATA(pgm)->flag (so legitimate
modification of the flag does not change PROGRAMMER structure)
- Move AVRPART_INIT_SMC and AVRPART_WRITE bits from the flags field in
AVRPART to jtagmkII.c's private data flags32 fiels as FLAGS32_INIT_SMC and
FLAGS32_WRITE bits
- Move the xbeeResetPin component to private data in stk500.c as this is
needed by xbee when it saddles on the stk500 code (previously, the flags
component of the part was re-dedicated to this)
- Change the way the "chained" private data are used in jtag3.c whilst
keeping the PROGRAMMER structure read-only otherwise
- In stk500v2.c move the STK600 pgm update from stk500v2_initialize() to
stk500v2_enable() so the former keeps the PROGRAMMER structure read-only
(for const assertion).
- In usbasp change the code from changing PROGRAMMER functions late to
dispatching to TPI or regular SPI protocol functions at runtime; reason
being the decision whether to use TPI protocol is done at run-time
depending on the capability of the attached programmer
Also fixes Issue #1071, the treatment of default eecr value.
This commit replaces fixed-string buffers in PROGRAMMER, AVRPART and AVRMEM
that are dealt with by the parser and grammar. Now, string assignments are
always to const char *, ie, these are read-only strings with arbitrary
length.
config_gram.y now only needs to consider one type of string assignment.
This commit also
- Replaces the simple linear-search cache_string() function with faster
hashed cache_string(). Either way, the returned value is likely to be
shared, so should never be free()'d.
- Duplicates hvupdi_support list in pgm_dup() and frees it in pgm_free()
- Adds const qualifier to some function args in avrpart.c and pgm.c
- Hardens some functions against being called with NULL pointers
- Ensures _new() and _dup() functions for parts, programmers and memory
return a suitable memory. Out of memory triggers exit in one of three
functions, cfg_malloc(), cfg_realloc() and cfg_strdup(); there is
rarely anything useful that AVRDUDE or, for that matter, any
application compiled against libavrdude can do once you run out of
memory as AVRDUDE/libavrdude rely heavily on allocation of memory.
This commit deals with default_programmer, default_serial, default_parallel
and default_spi. The long term objective is to remove all fixed-size buffers
from the structures that lexer.l and config_gram.y deal with.
- Replace strdup(s) with cfg_strdup(funname, s) that exits on out of mem
- Replace malloc(n) with cfg_malloc(funname, n) that exits on out of mem
- Change multiline string scanning in lexer.l to avoid core dump
- Remove global variables string_buf and string_bug_ptr
- Ensure reading strings unescapes strings C-Style
- Ensure writing strings escapes strings C-Style again
Commit looks longer than needed as unescape() and auxiliary functions needed
to be moved from term.c (not in libavrdude) to config.c (in libavrdude).
Also changed usbdev, usbsn, usbvendor and usbproduct components from
PROGRAMMER structure to be cached string pointers rather than fixed-size
arrays. These will be initialised by pgm_new() with a pointer to nul;
As the address bit numbers in the SPI opcodes are highly systematic, they
don't really need to be specified. Each bit can therefore be described as one
of the characters 0 (always 0), 1 (always 1), x (don't care, but will be set
as 0), a (a copy of the correct bit of the byte or word address of read,
write, load, pagewrite or load extended address command of memories with more
than one byte), i (input bit for a load/write) or o (output bit from a read).
The bits therefore do not need to be individually separated.
If a string in the list of strings that describe an SPI opcode does *not*
contain a space *and* is longer than 7 characters, it is interpreted as a
compact bit-pattern representation. The characters 0, 1, x, a, i and o will
be recognised as the corresponding bit, whilst any of the characters ., -, _
or / can act as arbitrary visual separators, which are ignored. Examples:
loadpage_lo = "0100.0000--000x.xxxx--xxaa.aaaa--iiii.iiii";
loadpage_lo = "0100.0000", "000x.xxxx", "xxaa.aaaa", "iiii.iiii";
loadpage_lo = "0100.0000", "000x.xxxx.xxaa.aaaa", "iiii.iiii";
loadpage_lo = "0100.0000-000x.xxxx--xxaa.aaaa-iiii.iiii";
loadpage_lo = "0100.0000/000x.xxxx/xxaa.aaaa/iiii.iiii";
The compact format is an extension of the current format, which remains
valid. Both, the compact and the traditional specification can be mixed in
different strings, albeit not in the same string:
load_ext_addr = "0100.1101", "0000.0000.0000", "0 0 0 a16", "0000.0000";
This commit changes the philosophy whenever avrdude.conf encounters the
same memory of a part for the second time or whenever a memory is
described that, through inheritance, already existed: AVRDUDE no longer
zaps the memory, it rather extends it.
Therefore, avrdude.conf.in's entry for ATmega128RFA1, which inherits from
the ATmega2561, needs a line `load_ext_addr = NULL;` in its flash memory
description to zap the inherited load_ext_addr SPI command.
Other than this, avrdude.conf.in needs no other change in order to effect
the same internal representation proving earlier updates to the .conf.in
file correct that manually ensured inheritance of memory contents.
When an SPI command has a lone 'a' the initialisation now is as would be
expected by all commands that take an address. Atmel's opcodes for SPI
programming are consistent in this respect. This commit makes specifying
the bit number in avrdude.conf optional. Instead of
read_lo = "0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 a13 a12 a11 a10 a9 a8 a7 a6 a5 a4 a3 a2 a1 a0 o o o o o o o o";
one can now use
read_lo = "0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 a a a a a a a a a a a a a a o o o o o o o o";
Some 90% of the space of AVRPART and some 50% of PROGRAMMER is occupied by a
4 kB array config_file[] that contains the configuration file name. In
preparation of developer options that output a raw dump of the part
descriptions, this commit changes the config_file components from a large
array, which is duplicated in each part and programmer description, to a
cached string for each config file allowing for smaller raw dumps.
This commit also changes the config file name to its realpath(), eg, shortens
unwarranted `/bin/../etc/` file name components. It also changes the global
variable names `infile` and `fileno` to cfg_infile and cfg_fileno for an ever
so slight improvement of code clarity.
It breaks the alias handling completely as the search happens
way too late. So instead, just keep any possibly duplicate
name as it won't be in our way anyway.
Implementation for an "alias" keyword.
By now, only applied inside memory descriptions.
* Make "mem_alias" a separate nonterminal.
The previous implementation attempt caused a syntax error in
yacc code, and separating mem_alias on the same level as
mem_spec appears to be the cleaner solution anyway.
* Maintain real memory aliases.
Instead of duplicating the aliased memory with a new name, maintain a
second list of memory aliases (per device) that contains a pointer to
the memory area it is aliased to. That way, a memory name can be
clearly distinguished between the canonical one and any aliases.
* Check p->mem_alias != NULL before touching it
* Add avr_find_memalias()
This takes a memory region as input, and searches whether an
alias can be found for it.
* We need to add a list structure for the mem_alias list, always.
By that means, mem_alias won't ever be NULL, so no need to check
later.
Also, in avr_dup_part(), duplicate the alias list.
* In a memory alias, actually remember the current name.
* In avr_dup_part(), adjust pointers of aliased memories
While walking the list of memories, for each entry, see if there is an
alias pointing to it. If so, allocate a duplicated one, and fix its
aliased_mem pointer to point to the duplicated memory region instead
of the original one.
* Add avr_locate_mem_noalias()
When looking whether any memory region has already been defined for
the current part while parsing the config file, only non-aliased names
must be considered. Otherwise, a newly defined alias would kick out
the memory definition it is being aliased to.
* When defining a mem_alias, drop any existing one of that name.
* Actually use avr_find_memalias() to find aliases
* Add declaration for avr_find_memalias()
* When defining a memory, also search for an existing alias
If the newly defined name has the same as an existing alias, the alias
can be removed.
Note that we do explicitly *not* remove any memory by the same name of
a later defined alias, as this might invalidate another alias'es
pointer. If someone defines that, the alias name just won't ever be
found by avr_locate_mem().
This feature has been designed with the sometimes quite flakey direct
(parallel or serial port attached) bitbang programming adapters in
mind that were quite common about two decades ago.
With parallel ports vanishing from modern PCs almost completely, and
the advent of various USB-attached low-cost programming devices,
this class of programmers disappeared almost completely.
Furthermore, the fuse combinations that were covered by the feature
are no longer around on all recent AVR devices, so for an ever
increasing number of devices, safemode already became meaningless and
was turned off anyway.
With the prospective version 7.x release, it's a good point in time to
introduce a major change like this one.
