# SimpleMachines' Mizar32 Development Board
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
The Mizar32 is a 32-bit computer based on the AVR32 processor. It is
|
|
clocked at 66MHz and has 32MB of main memory. It supports mass storage
|
|
on SD card, a USB connector, an on-board LED, two buttons, a JTAG port
|
|
and six bus connectors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bus connectors let you add other stackable hardware modules such
|
|
as serial ports, ethernet, a 16x2 character LCD display and a
|
|
VGA/keyboard/mouse/audio board based on the 8-core Parallax Propeller
|
|
processor.
|
|
|
|
The Mizar32 is designed by SimpleMachines, Italy.
|
|
|
|
This board support package aims at adding RT-Thread support for the
|
|
following Mizar32 development boards.

This README is essentially a work-in-progress. I will try to further
|
|
and documentation as and when I further the device driver base for the
|
|
Mizar32 target.
|
|
|

|

target development board, you can write to me: ramangopalan AT gmail

## Supported compiler
|
|
|
|
This BSP is built with the AVR32 GCC that comes with the Microchip
|
|
Studio. I am using the Microchip Studio version 7.0.2594. Make sure
|
|
that avr32-gcc.exe is visible on your command line. Add the binary
|
|
directory to you PATH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I use Git Bash (Windows) for compiling the RT-Thread system. Once you
|
|
set your path correctly, invoke Git Bash to query avr32-gcc.exe's
|
|
version. The output should look similar to this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ avr32-gcc.exe --version
|
|
avr32-gcc.exe (AVR_32_bit_GNU_Toolchain_3.4.2_435) 4.4.7

|
|
|
|
If you see this, you're all set to compile RT-Thread for Mizar32.
|
|
|
|
## Program firmware
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: download the RT-Thread codebase and navigate to bsp/avr32uc3a0.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd bsp/avr32uc3a0/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: build
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
scons -c
|
|
scons
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: flash
|
|
|
|
If everything went well, scons should have generated an elf file:
|
|
rtthread-uc3a0256.elf. Let us program the file. The program 'atprogram'
|
|
comes with Microchip Studio. I didn't have to do much here. Just make sure
|
|
`atprogram.exe' is in your PATH.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
atprogram -t atmelice -i jtag -d at32uc3a0256 program -f rtthread-uc3a0256.elf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that you should already see the on-board LED (PB29) blink if your
|
|
programming was successful. I use the Atmel ICE programmer. To access
|
|
msh with the default menuconfig's configuration, you'll need the VGA
|
|
shield. Connect the target board to a 12 VDC wall adapter. Also
|
|
connect the shield to a VGA monitor and a PS/2 keyboard.
|
|
|
|
## Running Result
|
|
|
|
The output information on serial port for `ps' the command should look like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
0x000003c0 tidle0 31 ready 0x00000054 0x00000100 67% 0x00000009 OK
|
|
0x00001650 tshell 20 running 0x000000b4 0x00001000 13% 0x0000000a OK
|
|

|
|
```
