How can i reduce the OLED display clear time? - stm32

I have use STM32F0 microcontroller.
I try to integrate the stm32 with OLED(SSD1306:128*64).
It's an I2C communication.
The issue is while clearing the display takes some seconds(like 2sec.).
How can I make it faster?
I have attached the issue portion image.
Is there any way to solve the issue?
I think the issue in I2C_TransferHandling function, because its repeatedly call in loop. But no idea about how to solve this issue.
Issue section
void Display_Clear(void)

int i = 0;
Write_inst_oled(SSD1306_SET_COLUMN_ADDR);
Write_inst_oled(0);
Write_inst_oled(127);

for (i = 0; i < 1024; i++) // Write Zeros to clear the display
{
I2C_TransferHandling(I2C1,0, 1, I2C_Reload_Mode, I2C_No_StartStop);

Write_inst_oled(7);
}

Remove delay from the loop. You wait 1ms on every iteration. It will save you more than 1 second,
Increase the I2C speed. most displays support 400k+ I2C speeds. Sending 1024 bytes will take at least 0.8sek

Unreset GPIO Pins While System Resetting

Is it possible to unreset some GPIO pins while using NVIC_SystemReset function at STM32 ?
Thanks in advance for your answers
Best Regards
I try to reach NVIC_SystemReset function. But not clear inside of this function.
Also this project is running on KEIL
Looks like it is not possible, NVIC_SystemReset issues a general reset of all subsystems.
But probably, instead of system reset, you can just reset all peripheral expect one you need keep working, using peripheral reset registers in Reset and Clock Control module (RCC): RCC_AHB1RSTR, RCC_AHB2RSTR, RCC_APB1RSTR, RCC_APB1RSTR.
Example:
// Issue reset of SPI2, SPI3, I2C1, I2C2, I2C3 on APB1 bus
RCC->APB1RSTR = RCC_APB1RSTR_I2C3RST | RCC_APB1RSTR_I2C2RST | RCC_APB1RSTR_I2C1RST
| RCC_APB1RSTR_SPI3RST | RCC_APB1RSTR_SPI2RST;
__DMB(); // Data memory barrier
RCC->APB1RSTR = 0; // deassert all reset signals
See detailed information in RCC registers description in Reference Manual for your MCU.
You may also need to disable all interrupts in NVIC:
for (int i = 0 ; i < 8 ; i++) NVIC->ICER[i] = 0xFFFFFFFFUL; // disable all interrupts
for (int i = 0 ; i < 8 ; i++) NVIC->ICPR[i] = 0xFFFFFFFFUL; // clear all pending flags
if you want to restart the program, you can reload stack pointer to its top value, located at offset 0 of the flash memory and jump to the start address which is stored at offset 4. Note: flash memory is addressed starting from 0x08000000 address in the address space.
uint32_t stack_top = *((volatile uint32_t*)FLASH_BASE);
uint32_t entry_point = *((volatile uint32_t*)(FLASH_BASE + 4));
__set_MSP(stack_top); // set stack top
__ASM volatile ("BX %0" : : "r" (entry_point | 1) ); // jump to the entry point with bit 1 set

getting illegal instructions when vectorized code writes to PCI

I am writing a program that writes to a device's range of HW registers. I am using mmap to map the HW addresses to virtual address (user space). I tested the result from the mmap and it is OK. I implemented a copy of a buffer into the device:
void bufferCopy(void *dest, void *src, const size_t size) {
uint8_t *pdest = static_cast<uint8_t *>(dest);
uint8_t *psrc = static_cast<uint8_t *>(src);
size_t iters = 0, tailBytes = 0;
/* iterate 64bit */
iters = (size / sizeof(uint64_t));
for (size_t index = 0; index < iters; ++index) {
*(reinterpret_cast<uint64_t *>(pdest)) =
*(reinterpret_cast<uint64_t *>(psrc));
pdest += sizeof(uint64_t);
psrc += sizeof(uint64_t);
}
.
.
.
but when running it on QEMU I get illegal instruction exception. When I debugged got it crashes on the next instruction (below is the asm of the main loop):
movdqu (%rsi,%rax,1),%xmm0
movups %xmm0,(%rdi,%rax,1) <----- this instruction crashes ...
add $0x10,%rax
cmp %rax,%r9
jne 0x7ffff7eca1e0 <_ZN12_GLOBAL__N_110bufferCopyEPvS0_m+64>
any ideas why ? my guess that you can write to PCI only 32/64 bit.
The compile doesn’t know my limitations, so it optimize my code and create vectorized loop (each iteration loads 128 bit and saves 128 bit). Is is making sense ?? can I write to PCI with vectorized instructions ?
Also, whether it is a missing feature in QEMU or a bug or just a recommendation, how can I prevent from the compiler to generate those vector instructions ?

Disabling SPI peripheral on STM32H7 between two transmissions?

I'm still doing SPI experiments between two Nucleo STM32H743 boards.
I've configured SPI in Full-Duplex mode, with CRC enabled, with a SPI frequency of 25MHz (so Slave can transmit without issue).
DSIZE is 8 bits and FIFO threshold is 4.
On Master side, I'm sending 4 bytes then wait for 5 bytes from the Slave. I know I could use half-duplex or simplex mode but I want to understand what's going on in full-duplex mode.
volatile unsigned long *CR1 = (unsigned long *)0x40013000;
volatile unsigned long *CR2 = (unsigned long *)0x40013004;
volatile unsigned long *TXDR = (unsigned long *)0x40013020;
volatile unsigned long *RXDR = (unsigned long *)0x40013030;
volatile unsigned long *SR = (unsigned long *)0x40013014;
volatile unsigned long *IFCR = (unsigned long *)0x40013018;
volatile unsigned long *TXCRC = (unsigned long *)0x40013044;
volatile unsigned long *RXCRC = (unsigned long *)0x40013048;
volatile unsigned long *CFG2 = (unsigned long *)0x4001300C;
unsigned long SPI_TransmitCommandFullDuplex(uint32_t Data)
{
// size of transfer (TSIZE)
*CR2 = 4;
/* Enable SPI peripheral */
*CR1 |= SPI_CR1_SPE;
/* Master transfer start */
*CR1 |= SPI_CR1_CSTART;
*TXDR = Data;
while ( ((*SR) & SPI_FLAG_EOT) == 0 );
// clear flags
*IFCR = 0xFFFFFFFF;
// disable SPI
*CR1 &= ~SPI_CR1_SPE;
return 0;
}
void SPI_ReceiveResponseFullDuplex(uint8_t *pData)
{
unsigned long temp;
// size of transfer (TSIZE)
*CR2 = 5;
/* Enable SPI peripheral */
*CR1 |= SPI_CR1_SPE;
/* Master transfer start */
*CR1 |= SPI_CR1_CSTART;
*TXDR = 0;
*((volatile uint8_t *)TXDR) = 0;
while ( ((*SR) & SPI_FLAG_EOT) == 0 );
*((uint32_t *)pData) = *RXDR;
*((uint8_t *)(pData+4)) = *((volatile uint8_t *)RXDR);
// clear flags
*IFCR = 0xFFFFFFFF;
// disable SPI
*CR1 &= ~SPI_CR1_SPE;
return temp;
}
This is working fine (both functions are just called in sequence in the main).
Then I tried to remove the SPI disabling between the two steps (ie. I don't clear and set again the bit SPE) and I got stuck in function SPI_ReceiveResponseFullDuplex in the while.
Is it necessary to disable SPI between two transmissions or did I make a mistake in the configuration ?
The behaviour of SPE bit is not very clear in the reference manual. For example is it written clearly that, in half-duplex mode, the SPI has to be disabled to change the direction of communication. But nothing in fuill-duplex mode (or I missed it).
This errata item might be relevant here.
Master data transfer stall at system clock much faster than SCK
Description
With the system clock (spi_pclk) substantially faster than SCK (spi_ker_ck divided by a prescaler), SPI/I2S master data transfer can stall upon setting the CSTART bit within one SCK cycle after the EOT event (EOT flag raise) signaling the end of the previous transfer.
Workaround
Apply one of the following measures:
• Disable then enable SPI/I2S after each EOT event.
• Upon EOT event, wait for at least one SCK cycle before setting CSTART.
• Prevent EOT events from occurring, by setting transfer size to undefined (TSIZE = 0)
and by triggering transmission exclusively by TXFIFO writes.
Your SCK frequency is 25 MHz, the system clock can be 400 or 480MHz, 16 or 19 times SCK. When you remove the lines clearing and setting SPE, only these lines remain in effect after detecting EOT
*IFCR = 0xFFFFFFFF;
*CR2 = 5;
*CR1 |= SPI_CR1_CSTART;
When this sequence (quite probably) takes less than 16 clock cycles, then there is the problem described above. Looks like someone did a sloppy work again at the SPI clock system. What you did first, clearing and setting SPE is one of the recommended workarounds.
I would just set TSIZE=9 at the start, then write the command and the dummy bytes in one go, it makes no difference in full-duplex mode.
Keep in mind that in full duplex mode, another 4 bytes are received which must be read and discarded before getting the real answer. This was not a problem with your original code, because clearing SPE discards data still in the receive FIFO, but it would become one if the modified code worked, e.g there were some more delay before enabling CSTART again.

STM32F4 : EEPROM 25LC256 management through SPI

I am trying to drive a EEPROM Chip 25LC256 with a STM32F469I-DISCO but can't achieve it.
I have tried to make my own function with HAL API bases but apparently something is wrong : I don't know if I write datas on the chip since I can't read it. Let me explain more.
So my chip is a DIP 25LC256 (DS is above is you wish). PINs HOLD and WP of EEPROM are tied to VCC (3.3V). PIN CS is connected to PH6 (ARD_D10 on board) and is managed by the software. PIN SI and PIN SO are respectively connected to PB15 (ARD_D11) and PB14 (ARD_D12) with the right alternate function (GPIO_AF5_SPI2). PIN SCK is also connected to PD3 (ADR_D13).
Here is my SPI configuration code :
EEPROM_StatusTypeDef ConfigurationSPI2(SPI_HandleTypeDef *spi2Handle){
__HAL_RCC_GPIOB_CLK_ENABLE();
__HAL_RCC_GPIOD_CLK_ENABLE();
__HAL_RCC_GPIOH_CLK_ENABLE();
GPIO_InitTypeDef gpioInit;
//// SCK [PD3]
gpioInit.Pin = GPIO_PIN_3;
gpioInit.Mode = GPIO_MODE_AF_PP;
gpioInit.Pull = GPIO_PULLDOWN;
gpioInit.Speed = GPIO_SPEED_FREQ_HIGH;
gpioInit.Alternate = GPIO_AF5_SPI2;
HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOD, &gpioInit);
//// MOSI [PB15]
gpioInit.Pin = GPIO_PIN_15;
gpioInit.Pull = GPIO_PULLUP;
HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOB, &gpioInit);
//// MISO [PB14]
gpioInit.Pin = GPIO_PIN_14;
gpioInit.Pull = GPIO_NOPULL;
HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOB, &gpioInit);
//// CS [PH6]
gpioInit.Pin = GPIO_PIN_6;
gpioInit.Mode = GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT_PP;
gpioInit.Speed = GPIO_SPEED_FREQ_HIGH;
HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOH, &gpioInit);
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, GPIO_PIN_SET);
//// SPI2
__HAL_RCC_SPI2_CLK_ENABLE();
spi2Handle->Instance = SPI2;
spi2Handle->Init.Mode = SPI_MODE_MASTER;
spi2Handle->Init.Direction = SPI_DIRECTION_2LINES;
spi2Handle->Init.DataSize = SPI_DATASIZE_8BIT;
spi2Handle->Init.CLKPolarity = SPI_POLARITY_LOW;
spi2Handle->Init.CLKPhase = SPI_PHASE_1EDGE;
spi2Handle->Init.NSS = SPI_NSS_SOFT;
spi2Handle->Init.BaudRatePrescaler = SPI_BAUDRATEPRESCALER_16;
spi2Handle->Init.FirstBit = SPI_FIRSTBIT_MSB;
spi2Handle->Init.TIMode = SPI_TIMODE_DISABLE;
spi2Handle->Init.CRCCalculation = SPI_CRCCALCULATION_DISABLE ;
spi2Handle->Init.CRCPolynomial = 7;
if(HAL_SPI_Init(spi2Handle) != HAL_OK){
return EEPROM_ERROR;
}
return EEPROM_OK;
}
And two functions allowing respectively (and theorically) to WRITE and READ into the the chip :
Write Function :
EEPROM_StatusTypeDef WriteEEPROM(SPI_HandleTypeDef *spi2Handle, uint8_t *txBuffer, uint16_t size, uint16_t addr){
uint8_t addrLow = addr & 0xFF;
uint8_t addrHigh = (addr >> 8);
uint8_t wrenInstruction = WREN_EEPROM; // Value : 0x06
uint8_t buffer[32] = {WRITE_EEPROM, addrHigh, addrLow}; //Value : 0x02
for(uint i = 0 ; i < size ; i++){
buffer[3+i] = txBuffer[i];
}
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, RESET);
if(HAL_SPI_Transmit(spi2Handle, &wrenInstruction, 1, TIMEOUT_EEPROM) != HAL_OK){
return EEPROM_ERROR;;
}
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, SET);
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, RESET);
if(HAL_SPI_Transmit(spi2Handle, buffer, (size + 3), TIMEOUT_EEPROM) != HAL_OK){
return EEPROM_ERROR;
}
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, SET);
return EEPROM_OK;
}
Read Function :
EEPROM_StatusTypeDef ReadEEPROM(SPI_HandleTypeDef *spi2Handle, uint8_t *rxBuffer, uint16_t size, uint16_t addr){
uint8_t addrLow = addr & 0xFF;
uint8_t addrHigh = (addr >> 8);
uint8_t txBuffer[3] = {READ_EEPROM, addrHigh, addrLow};
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, RESET);
HAL_SPI_Transmit(spi2Handle, txBuffer, 3, TIMEOUT_EEPROM);
HAL_SPI_Receive(spi2Handle, rxBuffer, size, TIMEOUT_EEPROM);
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, SET);
return EEPROM_OK;
}
I know my function are not very "beautiful" but it was a first attempt. In my main, I have tried in the first place to write into the chip the data "0x05" at the 0x01 adress then to read this data back :
uint8_t bufferEEPROM[1] = {5};
uint8_t bufferEEPROM2[1] = {1};
WriteEEPROM(&spi2Handle, bufferEEPROM, 1, 0x01);
ReadEEPROM(&spi2Handle, bufferEEPROM2, 1, 0x01);
I have an oscilloscope so since it didn't work (monitoring with STM Studio) I visualized the CLK and SI PINs then CLK and SO PINs (can only see two channel at the same time) :
As you can see, with the first picture that shows CLK (yellow) and SI (or MOSI) in blue, I have all the data expected : The WRite ENable instruction then the WRITE instruction. Following the ADDRESS, then the DATA.
After that, the Read Function starts. First the READ instruction and the ADDRESS where I want to fetch the data. The last 8 bits are supposed to be the data stored at the address (0x01 in this case). Something happens on SI PIN but I guess this is because the HAL_SPI_Receive() function actually calls HAL_SPI_TransmitReceive() with my array bufferEEPROM2 as parameter (that's why we can se 0b00000001). And so it is because of my SPI configuration parameter (Full-duplex).
Anyway, theorically I am supposed to see 0b00000101 on SO PIN but as you can see in the second picture.... nothing.
I have tried to change gpioInit.Pull for SO PIN on PULLUP and PULLDOWN but nothing changed. NOPULL is because that's the last thing I have tried.
The thing is I don't know where to start. My transmission seems to work (but is it actually ?). Is there anything wrong with my initialization ? Acutally my main question would be : why I don't receive any data from my EEPROM ?
Many thanks !
Write operations need some time to complete (your datasheet says 5 ms on page 4), during that time no operation other than read status is possible. Try polling the status register with the RDSR (0x05) opcode to find out when it becomes ready (bit 0). You could also check the status (bit 1) before and after issuing WREN to see if it was successful.
So the problem is now solved. Here are the improvements :
There was actually two issues. The first one and certainly the most important is, as berendi stated, a timing issue. In my WRITE function I didn't let the time for the EEPROM to complete its write cycle (5 ms on datasheet). I added the following code line at the end of all my WRITE functions :
HAL_Delay(10); //10 ms wait for the EEPROM to complete the write cycle
The delay value could be less I think if time is preicous (theorically 5ms). I didn't test below 10 ms though. An other thing. With the oscilloscope I also saw that my Chip Select used to went HIGH in the middle of my last clock edge. I could not say if this could also imply some issues since that's a thing I solved in the first place by adding a code line before HAl_Delay(10). All my SPI transmission functions finishes this way now :
while(HAL_GPIO_ReadPin(CLK_PORT, CLK_PIN) == GPIO_PIN_SET){
}
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(CS_PORT, CS_PIN, GPIO_PIN_SET);
HAL_Delay(10);
This way I have the proper pattern and I can write in the EEPROM and read back what I wrote.
NB : A last thing that made me goes deeper into my misunderstanding of the events : since my write functions didn't work, I focused on STATUS REGISTER write and read function (in order to solve this step by step). The write function didn't work either and in fact it was because the WRENbit wasn't set. I though (wrong one) that the fact to write into the STATUS REGISTER didn't ask also to set WREN like the WRITE functions into the memory ask to. Actually, it is also necessary.
Thanks for the help !

Hardware interrupt between Raspberry pi and Atmega 328

I have connected my RPI and atmega328 together in order to control the start of an event on my arduino. In order to do so, GPIO 25 (RPI) is connected directly to pin7 (Arduino PD7). I've got a python script on the RPI witch set the GPIO 25 to high then back to LOW:
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(25, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.output(25, 1)
#Do some stuff
GPIO.output(25, 0)
The arduino is waiting in a loop for either a physical button to be pressed or the pin7 to be set to HIGH by the RPI:
const int interrupt = 7;
const int button = 13;
const int led = 9;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(interrupt, INPUT);
pinMode(button,INPUT);
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
}
void loop() {
bool on = false;
bool buttonOn = false;
while (!on || !buttonOn) {
on = digitalRead(interrupt);
buttonOn = digitalRead(button);
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
}
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
delay(1000);
}
Now unfortunately this doesn't work. I have checked the logic level of the atmega328 (https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/logic-levels) and it seems that 3.3V is good enough for HIGH signal.
Am I missing something with the pull up /pull down resistance? I know the PD7 on the atmega is specified as follow:
Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up
resistors (selected for each bit). The Port D output buffers have
symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. As inputs, Port D pins that are externally pulled low will
source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port D pins
are tristated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock
is not running.
EDIT:
I have done more testing and I am getting the HIGH or LOW value correctly. It seems that the issue comes from the:
while ((!on) || (!buttonOn)) {
Is there an issue with Arduino and the OR operator in a while loop? Even when one condition is true and the other one is false, it never goes out of the loop.
while ((!on) || (!buttonOn)) {
}
That loop will run as long as one of the variables is false.
Yesterday I was for some reason thinking that you were reading the interrupt pin twice when reading your code.
3.3 v output should be ok to turn the Arduino input high.
You can have a wiring problem or your raspberry pi can be so fast that the arduino misses the pulse.
Change your program on the raspberry pi to leave the output high for so long (e.g. 10) seconds that you can measure it with a multimeter to see that you are setting the right pin.
Does the Arduino now see the input?
