| 1 # Replacement front panel for the HP/Agilent 34970A - firmware | |
| 2 | |
| 3 This repository contains the firmware for the replacement front panel for the | |
| 4 HP 34970A acuisition unit described | |
| 5 [here](https://whatever.sdfa3.org/hp-34970a-data-acquisition-unit-part-5.html) | |
| 6 | |
| 7 It is based on the [Mbed-os](https://os.mbed.com) framework and uses the | |
| 8 [platformio](https://platformio.org/) development environment. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 Make sure to have this later properly installed (I suggest you install it in a | |
| 11 Python 3 virtualenv). | |
| 12 | |
| 13 The firmware has been developped using platformio version 5.0.3 and Mbed-os 6.2. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 ## Compilation | |
| 16 | |
| 17 It should be a simple matter of calling: | |
| 18 | |
| 19 ``` | |
| 20 (pio3) ~/p/p/hp34970disp$ pio run -e fp_dfu | |
| 21 [...] | |
| 22 Advanced Memory Usage is available via "PlatformIO Home > Project Inspect" | |
| 23 RAM: [== ] 21.4% (used 14048 bytes from 65536 bytes) | |
| 24 Flash: [== ] 22.9% (used 90040 bytes from 393216 bytes) | |
| 25 ========================================== [SUCCESS] Took 28.13 seconds ========================================== | |
| 26 | |
| 27 Environment Status Duration | |
| 28 ------------- -------- ------------ | |
| 29 fp_dfu SUCCESS 00:00:28.129 | |
| 30 ========================================== 1 succeeded in 00:00:28.129 ========================================== | |
| 31 | |
| 32 ``` | |
| 33 | |
| 34 Note: the `platformio.ini` provides 2 similar environments (`fp_dfu` and | |
| 35 `fp_stlink`) which are identical but the `upload_protocol`. | |
| 36 | |
| 37 ## Uploading the firmware | |
| 38 | |
| 39 You can upload the firmware either via the (USB) DFU mode or the SWD/STLink | |
| 40 port on the PCB. Note that the USB socket on the PCB does not power the board, | |
| 41 so it must be already powered (which is typically when the board is connected | |
| 42 to the main CPU board of the HP 34970A). | |
| 43 | |
| 44 In order to be able to upload the firware by DFU, the STM32 MCU on the front | |
| 45 panel must be booted in DFU mode, which can be done by pressing the DFU button, | |
| 46 then the RESET button while keeping the DFU pressed. | |
| 47 | |
| 48 The STLink upload method does not need the board o be booted in DFU mode. | |
| 49 | |
| 50 ``` | |
| 51 (pio3) ~/p/p/hp34970disp$ pio run -e fp_dfu -t upload | |
| 52 ``` | |
| 53 | |
| 54 or | |
| 55 | |
| 56 ``` | |
| 57 (pio3) ~/p/p/hp34970disp$ pio run -e fp_stlink -t upload | |
| 58 ``` | |

| 60 ## Credits | |
| 61 | |
| 62 THis firmware uses a modified version of the [UniGraphic]() library and the | |
| 63 [QEI]() library. | |
| 64 | |
| 65 | |
| 66 ## Notes (deprecated) | |
| 67 | |
| 68 Use mbed 6 | |
| 69 | |
| 70 For some reason I had to disable mbed-client-cli/ (multiple definition of `cmd' error at | |
| 71 link time). | |
| 72 Put a .mbedignore file in: | |
| 73 | |
| 74 $ cd /home/david/.platformio/packages/framework-mbed@6.51504.200716/features | |
| 75 $ cat .mbedignore | |
| 76 mbed-client-cli/* | |
| 77 frameworks/mbed-client-cli/* | |
| 78 | |
| 79 see https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/frameworks/mbed.html#ignoring-particular-components |
