Is there Movesense restart command? - movesense

Unit can be turned off with
asyncPut(WB_RES::LOCAL::SYSTEM_MODE::ID, AsyncRequestOptions(NULL, 0, true),(uint8_t)1U);
Is there restart option? Perhaps in
asyncPut(WB_RES::LOCAL::COMPONENT_MAX3000X_WAKEUP::ID,AsyncRequestOptions(NULL, 0, true), (uint8_t)1);
eplacing contact 1 with something else? I want to clean everything and reset sensor counters between long measurements.

I would try
asyncPut(WB_RES::LOCAL::SYSTEM_MODE::ID, AsyncRequestOptions::ForceAsync, WB_RES::SystemMode::APPLICATION);
or ... (uint8_t) 5U
for trying to enter the same system mode again. Not sure if it works and can't confirm right now, but definitely worth trying!

what are the full steps to considere in order to put the Raspberry pi SD card in read only reliably?

Intro
I wanna give a last chance to this board before put it in a trash haha :). Right now I prefer use standard motherboards, Ubuntu server, automatic main power switch and perif. to have something reliable over the time though.
Raspberry Pi wanted configuration
-wanna use Rasbian 11.
-no boot from external hdrive.
-will mount external hdrive using the UUID for the data
My questions
1 - Enable overlay and readOnly mode (in raspi-config) doesn't seem good enough- With this method rootfs parition in fstab is not 'ro'. So what?
2 - Is it more reliable to have the both partiton in readOnly (boot and rootfs) ?
3 - What about the log, temp, ram,...? Is there anything else to think about? What would be the complete list with a bit of explanation?
Thank you!
I have try to edit fstab, and add 'ro' to the rootfs partition but doesn't keep after a reboot.

STM32 bootloader failure to erase

I am writing an external bootloader for the STM32F730Z8 - (why? I need one windows code that can run the bootloader for the STM32, or use the STM32 to reprog a connected ATF1508 for my client). I've done this before, using info in AN3155 and AN2606. On lesser CPUs, this has had no difficulty (i.e. STM32L4P5). In this case, I try the same:
1-cycle \RESET & BOOT0 to boot to supervisor mode
2-autobaud successfully
3-send 0x00 to get the list of commands, successfully
4-send 01 to get the version and protection, successfully (vers 49, rp and nt both 0)
5-send 02 to get chip id (0x0452), successfully
6-send 0x73 to write-unprotect flash, successfully (i.e. receive back two ACK)
7-send 0x44 to begin an extended erase (intending only to erase sector 0).
This is where it fails. I get neither ACK nor NACK - it just times out. I don't even get to the second half of the extended-erase command where I send it the sector info. (On the STM32L4P5 it succeeds here easily and goes on to finish erasing, then to write code successfully.)
I've tried very long waits & repeat loops to wait for the ACK (many minutes). From past experience this should be fast, it is only the second stage where I tell it how much flash to erase that takes any significant time.
I've inspected the protection option areas of memory, at 0x1FFF0010, 0018, and they are unprotected, as per factory defaults.
I'm communicating over an FT231XS-R, using the D2XX driver calls. I can mess with the baud rates and such, but that only prevents it from autobauding...and we're doing that fine (9600/8/1/E). I've played with the D2XX SetTimeouts - if set too hasty that only screws up earlier commands. I'm wired to a 20 MHz crystal, and the application runs at 200 MHz, but my understanding is that the bootloader just runs at the internal RC clock rate.
I'm certainly missing something stupid, but I didn't see it in the documentation. Help?

Fixed, disregard.
The fineprint of AN3155 clued me in. On the description of the Write Unprotect command, it says that a system reset will be performed after completion. How did I miss this on the STM32L4P5? I just didn't read it. But why did it work then? In the really fine print next page, in a footnote to the flowchart, it says that they were just foolin'....system reset is only called for some (..list omitted..) and for other STM32 products no system reset is called for.
My earlier success had the following sequence:
reboot-supervisor
autobaud
get
gvrp
gid
wpun
xerase
wpun
write
verify
reboot-user
obviously that doesn't work for the F730. what works is:
reboot-super
autobaud
get
gvrp
gid
wpun
reboot-super
autobaud
get gvrp
gid
xerase
reboot-super
autobaud
get
gvrp
gid
write
verify
reboot-user
(obviously I can skip a few of the repeated steps, like get-id, but basically it needed a reboot and re-autobaud.)
note that i had to reboot-super a 3rd time...this was because the write attempt timed out after the xerase unless i went through the whole sequence again. funny, though, the spec doesn't say anything about resetting after an erase. i cross posted this question on the STM32 community site, and I'll do the same with this answer and ping them on this.
Thanks for reading, cheers. Jeff

Calibrating a touch screen monitor

A friend of mine got me a EloTouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch USB TouchMoitor, if was apart of a POS system they were replacing, and I am trying to calibrate it on Linux Mint. I have downloaded the xinput_calibrater app and ran it. Here the output from the program:
Calibrating standard Xorg driver "EloTouchSystems,Inc Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch® USB Touchmonitor Interface"
current calibration values: min_x=0, max_x=65535 and min_y=0, max_y=65535
If these values are estimated wrong, either supply it manually with the --precalib option, or run the 'get_precalib.sh' script to automatically get it (through HAL).
--> Making the calibration permanent <--
copy the snippet below into '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf' (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ in some distro's)
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "EloTouchSystems,Inc Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch® USB Touchmonitor Interface"
Option "MinX" "5504"
Option "MaxX" "59519"
Option "MinY" "57834"
Option "MaxY" "6123"
Option "SwapXY" "0" # unless it was already set to 1
Option "InvertX" "0" # unless it was already set
Option "InvertY" "0" # unless it was already set
EndSection
I copied the the snippet as directed to the 99-calibration.conf file, and restarted my computer and nothing happened.
I have tried changing the "InvertX" and "InvertY" values to 1 (changing only one at a time) and rebooting after each time with not success. I am at a lose as to what to do. Can someone offer any suggestions, Please.
P.S. The monitor was manufactured by Fujitsu, and I am using the most current version of Linux Mint.
Additional Information: After posting the question, I realized I did not mention what the touch screen was doing. When I touch the screen and move my finger up and down on the screen, the cursor moves in the opposite direction.

Syncing of buffer-transmission with ESP32, I2S MEMS-mic and SD-card (FreeRTOS, PlatformIO, ESP-PROG)

i know this forum dislikes "open" questions like this, nevertheless i'd like somebody to help untie the knot in my head, much appreciated.
The goal is simple:
read a stereo 32bit 44100 S/s I2S signal from 2 adafruit sph0645 mics
create a wav-header and store the data onto an SD-card
I've been at this for a few days now and i know that this will be much more complicated than i originally thought. Main reason: signal quality. Like most tutorials on this subject the simplest "hello world" for these mics is a looped polling for I2S-samples. Poll, fill buffer, output via serial or write to SD-card. This returns a choppy, noisy, sped up version of RL-audio. The filling of the internal DMA-buffers can be seen as constant, but the rest is mostly chaos, so
how to i sync these DMA-buffers with the rest of my code?
From experience with the STM32 HAL i'd imagine some register which can be set to throw an interrupt whenever a buffer is full, or an event which can be sent between tasks via queues. Examples on this subject either poll in a main loop with mono an abysmal sample-rate and bit depth or use pages of overkill code and never adress what it does, "just copy and it works", not good. Does the ESP32-Arduino framework provide some way to to this properly? The espressif-documentation isn't something to look forward to, since some of their I2S interface functions don't even work (if you are researching this topic as well, you too might have noticed that i2s_read only returns zeros). Just a hint into the right direction would help, i'm writing my own code anyway. Interrupts? Events? Timers? Polling for full buffers? Only you might know.
have a good one, thx
Thanks to https://github.com/atomic14/ i now have an answer for a syncing-method which works very well. This method has been tried by https://esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=12546 who also didn't fully understand what was going on: the espressif i2s-interface offers a flag stored in an event which is triggererd every time one of the specified dma-buffers has received a full set of data, ergo, is full. It looks like this:
while(<your condition>){
i2s_event_t evt;
if (xQueueReceive(<your queue>, &evt, portMAX_DELAY) == pdPASS){
if (evt.type == I2S_EVENT_RX_DONE){
size_t bytesRead = 0;
do{
//read data via i2s_read or i2s_read_bytes
} while (bytesRead > 0);
No data is stored in this queue, but rather a flag which can then be used to synchronize dma-filling and further buffering/calculating/sending the read data.
HOWEVER this only works if you install the i2s driver in a specific setup. Instead of using
i2s_driver_install(I2S_NUM_0, &i2s_config, 0, NULL);
in your setup, you can activate the "affinity" for events by passing a queue-handle and a lenght:
i2s_driver_install(I2S_NUM_0, &i2s_config, 4, &<your queue>);
hope this helps getting started, it sure did help me.

Handle idle sleep from audio virtual driver - Mac OSX

We have an virtual audio device driver similar to Sound flower. This virtual device will be listed in sound system preferences. Whenever our device gets selected in system preferences, it prevents idle sleep. If we switch the selection to default output device, everything works as expected.
If we execute 'pmset -g assertions' command in Terminal, it gives below output
Assertion status system-wide:
ChargeInhibit 0
PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep 0
PreventUserIdleSystemSleep 1
NoRealPowerSources_debug 0
CPUBoundAssertion 0
EnableIdleSleep 1
PreventSystemSleep 0
DisableInflow 0
DisableLowPowerBatteryWarnings 0
ExternalMedia 0
Listed by owning process:
pid 115: [0x0000012c00000073] PreventUserIdleSystemSleep named: MY_DRIVER_IDENTIFER.noidlesleep"
Could any one suggest me some pointers to resolve this issue.
I think this governed by the flag kIOPMPreventIdleSleep, which resides in the capabilityFlags field of the IOPMPowerState struct.
To participate in power management decisions, you'll need to add your device driver to the power management plane, typically in your overridden IOService::start(provider) method:
PMinit();
provider->joinPMtree(this);
registerPowerDriver(this, powerStates, numPowerStates);
where powerStates and numPowerStates specifies an array of power states you want your device to be able to be in. You'll probably not want more than 2 for a virtual device, and maybe you even only need one. I suspect a superclass of your class is setting states that are inhibiting sleep. Once you've registered for power management, your driver will be expected to handle the power management methods such as IOService::setPowerState().
Depending on how you want your device to behave, you might want to create 2 power states, one "live" when playing back or capturing sound (and inhibiting sleep) and the other "idle" when the device isn't doing anything, and allowing sleep.
The power management topic is a bit too big to cover entirely in a StackOverflow answer, so I suggest you read the docs on the stuff I've mentioned above and try clearing the relevant flag in your power state(s).
Hope that helps.
