There are STM32 families where all models use only the Synopsys DWC2 USB OTG core while others completely use only the USB Device FS core. For these families then either the driver `drivers/usbdev_synopsys_dwc2` or the driver `cpu/stm32/periph/usbdev` is used depending on the respective family. However, the STM32 families F1 and L4 use both cores. The correct driver must therefore be selected depending on the CPU line or CPU model.
Add tracing support via GPIOs to trace the basic state of the Ethernet
peripheral. The following signals are provided:
- One GPIO pin is toggled on entry of the Ethernet ISR
- On TX start an GPIO is set, on TX completion it is cleared
- On RX complete an GPIO is set, once this is passed to the upper layer
the GPIO is cleared again
In order to reduce the overhead, GPIO LL is used. By default the
on-board LEDs are used as tracing GPIOs. This makes it easy to debug
when the state machine gets stuck without the need to attach a scope or
logic analyzer.
A if `netdev_driver_t::confirm_send()` is provided, it provides the
new netdev API. However, detecting the API at runtime and handling
both API styles comes at a cost. This can be optimized in case only
new or only old style netdevs are in use.
To do so, this adds the pseudo modules `netdev_legacy_api` and
`netdev_new_api`. As right now no netdev actually implements the new
API, all netdevs pull in `netdev_legacy_api`. If `netdev_legacy_api` is
in used but `netdev_new_api` is not, we can safely assume at compile
time that only legacy netdevs are in use. Similar, if only
`netdev_new_api` is used, only support for the new API is needed. Only
when both are in use, run time checks are needed.
This provides two helper function to check for a netif if the
corresponding netdev implements the old or the new API. (With one
being the inverse of the other.) They are suitable for constant folding
when only new or only legacy devices are in use. Consequently, dead
branches should be eliminated by the optimizer.
An network devices that supports netdev_driver_t::get(NETOPT_LINK, ...)
also has to emit NETDEV_EVENT_LINK_UP and NETDEV_EVENT_LINK_DOWN with
lwip for IPv6 duplicate address detection to work. The background is
that the STM32 Ethernet MAC requires a periodic timer to poll for the
state to emit these events. For this reason, `stm32_eth_link_up` was
introduced to allow applications to select if they need these events.
With this dependency in place, IPv6 addresses won't get stuck in a
tentative state any more.
Expose the auto-negotiation feature of the Ethernet device via the
pseudo-module stm32_eth_auto. With this enabled, the static speed configuration
set in the boards periph_conf.h will only be used if the PHY lacks
auto-negotiation capabilities - which is unlikely to ever happen.
The stm32_eth driver was build on top of the internal API periph_eth, which
was unused anywhere. (Additionally, with two obscure exceptions, no functions
where declared in headers, making them pretty hard to use anyway.)
The separation of the driver into two layers incurs overhead, but does not
result in cleaner structure or reuse of code. Thus, this artificial separation
was dropped.
The STM32 line of microcontrollers comes with a bootloader in the ROM.
It provides the option to flash the device firmware in DFU mode (USB)
or via UART or SPI.
To enter the bootloader we have to jump to a specific address in memory,
but before reset the CPU to make sure the system is in a known state.
This enables us to use the usb_board_reset module on all STM32 platforms.
