This project is obsoleted. All new development moved to https://github.com/andpp/BM-Lite
This is a port of FPC BM-Lite Development Kit to Nordic nRF52840-DK development board. FPC BM-Lite module connected to the dev board by SPI interface.
There are 3 main folders in the project:
- BMLite_example - main HW-independed application
- BMLite_sdk - FPC BM-Lite SDK
- HAL_Driver - implementation of HW-dependent functions
Platform-independent interface implemented in platform.c
| Platform function | Description |
|---|---|
| fpc_bep_result_t platform_init(void *params) | Initilalizes hardware |
| void platform_bmlite_reset(void) | Implements BM-Lite HW Reset |
| fpc_bep_result_t platform_bmlite_send(uint16_t size, const uint8_t *data, uint32_t timeout, void *session) | Send data packet to FPC BM-Lite |
| fpc_bep_result_t platform_bmlite_receive(uint16_t size, uint8_t *data, uint32_t timeout, void *session) | Receive data packet from FPC BM-Lite. If timeout = 0, the function will wait for data from BM-Lite indefinitely. The waiting loop will be breaked if hal_check_button_pressed() returns non-zero value. It is recommended to do HW or SW reset of BM-Lite if platform_bmlite_receive() returns FPC_BEP_RESULT_TIMEOUT in order to return is into known state. |
Currently platform_bmlite_send() and platform_bmlite_receive() are implemented for SPI interface. For UART interface there is no need to wait for IRQ pin ready. However because in UART mode there is no signal from FPC-BM-LIte that it will send data, I would recommend to use UART interrupt or DMA to receive data from UART and store it to a separate buffer and read data in platform_bmlite_receive() from that buffer. Activation UART data reading only inside platform_bmlite_receive() could lead to loosing some incoming data and causing HCP protocol errors.
For porting the project to a new microcontroller, all functions from bmlite_hal.h should be implemented.
| HAL Function | Description |
|---|---|
| fpc_bep_result_t hal_board_init(void *params) | Initialize GPIO, System timer, SPI |
| void hal_bmlite_reset(bool state) | Activate/Deactivate BM-Lite RST_N pin (Active Low) |
| fpc_bep_result_t hal_bmlite_spi_write_read(uint8_t *write, uint8_t *read, size_t size, bool leave_cs_asserted) | SPI data exchange |
| bool hal_bmlite_get_status(void) | Return status of BM-Lite IRQ pin (Active High) |
| void hal_timebase_init(void) | Initialize system clock with 1 msec tick |
| uint32_t hal_timebase_get_tick(void) | Read currect system clock value |
| void hal_timebase_busy_wait(uint32_t ms) | Delay for ms msec |
| HAL Function | Description |
|---|---|
| uint32_t hal_get_button_press_time(void) | How long UI button was pressed last time. Also it should reset button pressed time counter |
| uint32_t hal_check_button_pressed(void) | Used for breaking waiting in platform_bmlite_receive() if returns non-zero |
| void hal_set_leds(platform_led_status_t status, uint16_t mode) | Set LED(s) state according to status and mode. |
- BM-Lite support both UART and SPI communication interface. BM-Lite automatically detects the specific communication interface in use. However, it is not possible to use both interfaces at the same time!
- IRQ pin is used in SPI mode only as FPC BM-Lite Ready-to-Transmit signal. The module set it to High when it has some data to send and set it to Low when data packet is sent.
