Proper setup for debugging Duet3

dc42

@Arplyu I have used Atmel Studio + Atmel ICE to debug MB6HC firmware, so this combination does work.

LexJames

@dc42 I went through the same process as Arplyu with the same results.
The target voltage is detected but I'm not able to read the device information (from microchip studio)
Looking at the SWCLK line I do not measure a clock, the line is permanently high.
The SWDIO line toggles between 0 and 3.3 volt every second. Reset seems to work.
I also created my own cable. The ATMEL-ICE is brand new so I assume it is ok.
Any hint is welcome, because I'm out of options.

LexJames

@Arplyu
I have exactly the same problems. Did you find a solution in the mean time?

Arplyu

@LexJames Hi! I solved my particular coding issue without debugger, so I didn't try to get Atmel-ICE working anymore since that. But thank you for getting back to the problem, I still would like to figure out what was wrong with my setup. Just to make it clear: the Atmel-ICE which I have at hands is absolutely functional, it works perfectly when it comes to programming SAMMYC21 devboard, on which I test my modifications to DuetExpansion firmware and DuetBootloader. For debugging Duet3-6HC board I'd like to re-assemble the cable, and here I have a possibly very stupid question, sorry for asking that: how should I map 6HC' SWD_EXT_RESET pin to the Atmel-ICE's pinout? I just realized that in my test it was not connected. I suppose that 6HC's RESET goes to Atmel's nRESET, but what about SWD_EXT_RESET?... Hopefully @dc42 or @chrishamm could also comment regarding the pinout. Thanks!

dc42

@Arplyu you can ignore the EXT_RESET pin. Our intention was to use that output to feed into the reset input of an expansion board that you needed to install a new bootloader on, using the 6HC to program the expansion board via SWD. However, we found the bootloader protection in the expansion boards sufficiently reliable that we never implemented that facility.

LexJames

@dc42 Sorry to ask you again about debugging the 6HC. I have a newer board v1.02 where SWD_EXT_RST is removed, so that can't be the problem. The fact that I don't see the 2 MHz SWCLK worries me. Is there anything I can verify (either hardware or software) to get a clue what is wrong? Thanks in advance.

dc42

@LexJames bear in mind that when debugging 6HC firmware on the version 1.02 board, you must use a Debug build because the release builds use the SWDIO and SWDCLK pins to drive LEDs.

Arplyu

@dc42 Thanks for this note, that was exactly one of my questions when I started this topic, but unfortunately I didn't specify that I also have hardware revision 1.02. I'll test with debug config next week

LexJames

@dc42 That explains a lot. Thanks!

LexJames

@Arplyu In case you want to verify your ICE, the ATMEL utility 'atprogram' has a nice selftest which allows you to test the wiring. You can run it from the command line.

LexJames

After some struggles, I can finally debug the firmware in Eclipse with ATMEL-ICE. Below some hints for other developers who want to debug the RepRapFirmware on Duet3 6HC.
1 - Make sure to flash a debug version of the firmware before you even try to use ICE.
2 - Install 'OpenOCD' and configure it with 'duet3_openocd.cfg' from the RepRapFirmware repository.
3 - Replace the default debugger 'dbg.exe' with 'arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe'
4 - Make sure that the lock bits of the regions 0 to 40 are cleared. If you do a firmware upgrade those bits
will be set. Use Microchip Studio (+ATMEL-ICE) to clear those bits or flash your image with Microchip
Studio.
5 - Set the compiler optimization flag to -Os. (default is -Og).
Now it should work.

@LexJames I'm glad you got it working! Thanks for sharing your solution.

Arplyu

Sorry for getting back again to that topic. I finally found time to try compiling the debug version of MB6HC code. However, I'm getting errors if I try to compile for original 3.4.4 (my modified code is based on that, so I'd like to start from exactly this version):

Do you have any ideas what was wrong? Thank you

dc42

@Arplyu it looks to me that some of the files you are trying to compile are later than those used to build the 3.4.4 release, because we didn't add WiFi support to the 6HC until version 3.4.5.

Arplyu

@dc42 thank you for the reply. I use commits with tag "3.4.4" in all projects. Non-debug config from the same commits compiles without any problems, I used that as a start point for my modifications.

PS At the same time, checking out 3.4-dev branches at latest commits in all projects works fine - I managed to compile debug config and test the hardware, everything was ok.
