4 - Redid the font rendering code to use DotFactory
5 generated fonts, and update to the latest binary
6 in the /tools folder. All fonts have been
7 re-rendered to accomodate the updated code.
8 - Updated clock values in cpu.c for PLL to match FCCO
10 - Changed SCB_PLLCTRL_MULT_* to SCB_PLLCTRL_MSEL_* in
11 lpc111x.h to match usermanual
12 - Changed SCB_PLLCTRL_DIV_* SCB_PLLCTRL_PSEL_* in
13 lpc111x.h to match usermanual
14 - Added inline version of key functions in ili9328.c,
15 which increases the code size ~1.3KB but more than
16 doubles the drawing speed for most drawing functions
17 by avoiding branch operations and pushing and popping
18 the stack multiple times. Inline methods can be
19 toggled with 'ILI9238_USE_INLINE_METHODS'.
20 - Fixed IOCON_SWDIO_PIO1_3_FUNC_CT32B1_MAT2 in lpc134x.h
21 - Added drawCornerFilled() to drawing.c and LCD CLI
22 - Fixed a nasty bug with 'gpioInterruptEvent' in the
23 gpioSetInterrupt function (core/gpio/gpio.c)
24 - Add drawTriangle() and drawTriangleFilled() to
26 - Added cpuReset() to reset the board via AIRCR
27 - Removed text input dialogue from LCD CLI ('T') to
28 save a few KB. Command file still exists, just no
29 longer included in cmd_tbl.h by default.
34 - Added ISL12022M RTC Driver (/drivers/rtc/isl12022m)
35 - Fixed a bug drawing filled circles with lcdDrawVLine
36 - Added CLI command to toggle LCD backlight
37 - Added rounded rectangle command to CLI
38 - Added CFG_INTERFACE_DROPCR to projectconfig.h to
39 ignore CR (\r) characters in incoming data for
41 - Added CFG_INTERFACE_SHORTERRORS to projectconfig.h
42 to only send short (1 char + new line) CLI error
43 messages rather than something verbose
44 - Added CFG_INTERFACE_CONFIRMREADY to projectconfig.h
45 to provide a character to indicate when a command
46 is complete in case the IRQ pin
47 (CFG_INTERFACE_ENABLEIRQ) can't be used
48 - Fixed a bug with reversed R and B bits when reading
49 a pixel from the LCD in CLI mode
50 - Added lcdDrawPixels() to lcd.h and the current lcd
51 drivers to render rows of raw lcd data much quicker
52 than addressing consecutive pixels individually.
53 Can be used with windowing in future for fast
54 animation, continuously writing raw pixels in a
55 32x32 pixel frame, etc.
56 - Fixed ili9328SetWindow() and ili9325SetWindow().
57 They can now be used for fast screen paints of
58 restricted areas of the screen, such as animations
59 where raw pixel data is constantly fed to the LCD.
60 - Fixed pixel overflow bugs in drawCircleFilled(). Any
61 pixels that exceed screen limits will now be dropped,
62 though at the expense of slightly slower code.
63 - Added drawLineDotted() to drawing.c to draw lines with
64 a fixed pattern of empty and solid pixels
65 - Added __resetBootloader() macro to lpc134x.h to
66 reset and enter the USB bootloader (LPC1343 Reference
67 Design Base Board only since this depends on the
68 existance of the RC combination on the ISP pin).
69 To reset and executre code normally, the watchdog
70 time can be used (see "core/wdt").
71 - Added AIRCR register to lpc134x.h (Application Interrupt
72 and Reset Control Register).
73 - Added drawIcon16() to drawing.c to render monochrome
74 16x16 pixel icons from a byte array.
75 - Added a handful of common 16x16 icon definitions in
76 /drivers/lcd/icons16.h ... adapted from Gentleface
77 Toolbar Icon Set. For license terms see
78 http://www.gentleface.com/free_icon_set.html
79 - Added a few basic RGB565 color schemes to colors.h and
80 an image file showing the colors in /tools/colors_h.png
81 - Updated alphanumeric dialogue form to use new buttons.
82 - Rewrote drawButton() to use rounded rectangle and
83 all colors are now passed in as parameters. Also
84 modified the button command in the CLI to match this.
85 - Rewrote drawProgressBar() to take advantage of the
86 new rounded rectangle function (below). Also
87 modified the progress bar command in the CLI to
88 allow more colors to be indicated when rendering.
89 - Added drawRectangleRounded() to drawing.c (filled
90 rectangle with configurable rounded corners).
91 - Added drawArrow() to drawing.c to make small rectangles
92 for left/right menu items, etc.
93 - Completely rewrote the touch screen calibration code to
94 be much more accurate.
96 v0.9.0 - 28 March 2011
97 ======================
99 - Calibration process no longer starts automatically when
100 calibration data is not found in EEPROM. tsCalibrate()
101 now needs to called manually or from the CLI.
102 - Fixed a bug in cmd_tswait.c when no delay was passed.
103 - Added CLI command to set touch screen threshold
104 to register a touch event (since this can vary from
105 screen to screen). Type 'x' at the CLI to get/set
106 the value. The setting is persisted to EEPROM, and if
107 no value is found on EEPROM CFG_TFTLCD_TS_DEFAULTTHRESHOLD
108 from projectconfig.h is used.
109 - Adjusted touch screen code to check ADC values twice
110 and compare. If mismatch occurs, and error is returned.
111 This provides far more consistent TS values at the
112 expense of having to check the error results. See
113 'alphanumeric.c' for an example of doing this
115 - Added seperate driver for ILI9328 based displays, even
116 though it seems to be identical to the ILI9325. Files
117 were seperated in case the initialisation needs to be
118 tweeked later or if incompatibilities are found.
119 - Added the ability to write the contents of the LCD
120 to a bitmap image, though it's very slow reading data
121 pixel by pixel and converting it to 24-bit RGB values.
122 Performance can definately be improved.
123 - Added 'drawRGB565toBGRA32' to drawing.c to convert
124 RGB565 colors back to the canonical BGRA32 format
125 - Added gain controls to TSL2561 driver to increase or
126 decrease sensitivity. Should be easy to implement
127 auto-gain functionality now.
128 - Changed USB VID to a valid value. Source files and
129 lpc134x-vcom.inf updated accordingly.
130 - Moved USB VID and PID to projectconfig.h
131 - Added '-mcpu' flag to the linker in Makefile (the wrong
132 libm was being linked because of this).
135 --------------------------------------------------------
136 - Some config settings in EEPROM were relocated in v0.90+
137 of the LPC1343 Code Base to take into account the new
138 touch screen calibration code. See projectconfig.h
139 for more details of the new EEPROM layout.
141 v0.8.6 - 21 March 2011
142 ======================
144 - Added DWT section to LPC134x.h (see Cortex-M3
145 Technical Reference Manual section 8.3)
146 - Added CPU_RESET_CYCLECOUNTER to cpu.c to do rough
147 in-code performance checks (counts CPU cycles)
148 - Added '-lm' to linker in Makefile for math.c support
149 - Increased MAX_STRING_SIZE from 100 to 255 in stdio.c
150 - Added driver for the TCS3414 RGB color sensor
151 - Added driver for the TSL2561 digital light sensor
152 - Added CFG_USBCDC_BUFFERSIZE to projectconfig.h
153 instead of cdc_buf.h.
154 - Added a PWM example using a piezo buzzer (see
155 'tools/examples/basics/pwm_piezobuzzer' for details)
156 - Added ctype.c to 'core/libc'
157 - Changed Crossworks project to use libc files from
158 'core/libc' and modified the USB CDC printf to be
159 much faster by redirecting inside 'puts' rather than
160 '__putchar' (see 'sysinit.c').
161 - Fixed a bug in LPC134x.h ... USB_CMDCODE write and read
163 - Added a simple example of reading the card ID from an
164 ISO14443A (Mifare Classic, etc.) card using the PN532
165 ('/tools/examples/sensors/pn532/ISO14443A_ID').
166 - Added an 'lcd' folder to 'tools/examples' showing how to use
167 the generic lcd drawing routines, the touch-screen, etc.
168 - Rewrote part of the touch screen calibration code to get more
169 accurate results. Each point is now tested twice and the
170 results are averaged. Values beyond a certain limit are also
171 rejected to ignore wacky readings.
172 - Added a preliminary PN532 (NFC/RFID) driver. Currently UART
173 only, and only allows simple commands to be sent and received.
174 By default, all data is fed out to the console via printf.
175 Will be elaborated and expanded in future releases.
176 - Cleaned up the ILI9325 TFT LCD driver a bit, adding a proper
177 enum for the commands, etc.
180 v0.8.5 - 7 March 2011
181 =====================
183 - Fixed a problem with GDB script when deploying firmware
184 with Segger J-Link in CodeLite. Code will now deploy
185 and start executing properly when F5 is pressed (assuming
186 the Segger GDB Server software is running in the background).
187 - Interrupts are now disabled while feeding the watchdog as per
188 a warning in the usermanual.
189 - Changed fonts for TTF LCDs. DejaVu Sans 9 is now used by default
190 in the LPC1343 Code Base. The following open source fonts have
191 been converted using The Dot Factory (see '/tools/dotfactory') and
192 can be found in '/drivers/lcd/tft/fonts':
195 ------------------------------- ----------
196 - Bitstream Vera Mono 9 Fixed (8)
197 - Bitstream Vera Mono 9 Bold Fixed (8)
198 - Bitstream Vera Mono 11 Fixed (9)
199 - Bitstream Vera Mono 11 Bold Fixed (9)
200 - DejaVu Sans 9 Variable
201 - DejaVu Sans 9 Bold Variable
202 - DejaVu Sans Condensed 9 Variable
203 - DejaVu Sans Mono 8 Fixed (8)
204 - DejaVu Sans Mono 8 Bold Fixed (8)
206 - Modified projectconfig.h to select the target board and configure
207 the project accordingly. This isn't ideal, but it's a lot more
208 maintainable than have a seperate code base for every board since
209 they share 95% of the same code.
210 - Modified WDT code to use the WDT oscillator (rather than the
212 - Fixed a bug when waking up from sleep in Chibi. Removed systick
213 delay when toggling reset and slptr pins since this was causing
214 a blocking condition with the wakeup ISR.
215 - Added an example of how to retrieve the MCU's unique
216 128-bit serial number using IAP (core/iap)
217 - Added an option to projectconfig.h to select which pin to use for
218 SCK on SSP0, since the QFN33 package doesn't have all the same
220 - Updated Chibi to v0.91 (adds sleep method and promiscuous mode to allow
221 Chibi to act as an 802.15.4 packet sniffer, etc.).
222 - Added lcdProperties_t to lcd.h to indicate the properties of different
223 LCDs (to determine if there is a touch screen present, whether the
224 screen orientation can be changed, etc.)
225 - Added basic ST7735 LCD driver (128x160 pixel TFT LCD using 6-pin
226 SPI-esque interface). Work in progress (no orientation support, etc.).
227 - Added some simple examples in the 'tools/examples' folder.
232 - Added optimised lcdDrawVLine using orientation
233 though this should only be used on lines
234 greate than 20 pixels or so to see any real
236 - Added cmd_uart to allow the HW UART speed
237 to be set in EEPROM (between 9600 and
238 115200). Use the 'U' command.
239 - Updated Crossworks projects files to use
240 custom printf in 'core/libc' (gains about
241 1.3KB in release mode)
242 - Added driver for SSD1306 OLED displays
243 to '/drivers/bitmap/ssd1306'
244 - Changed commands in the CLI to single
245 characters and shortened descriptions
246 to save flash space (~0.7KB)
247 - Updated ILI9325 to allow the screen
248 orientation to be changed to portrait
250 - Added cmd_orientation to change the LCD
251 orientation from the CLI
252 - Fixed a bug in the PMU Wakeup interrupt
254 - Added a circular buffer for outgoing CDC
255 data (cdc_buf.c) since you can only feed one
256 frame per ms (max 64 bytes). The speed needs
257 to be improved finding the right balance
258 between caching data and sending it to the EP,
259 but this should avoid any dropped characters.
260 More testing will be needed to improve this.
261 - Fixed a bug with the USB CDC buffer
262 - Added SILENTMODE to the CLI to disable the
263 command prompt and echo of input characters
264 (see CFG_INTERFACE_SILENTMODE). Useful
265 when another MCU is use the CLI rather than
267 - Added IRQ pin to the CLI to indicate when a
268 command is being processed (pin = low) and
269 when it has completed or a new command can
270 be processed (pin = high).
271 - Added 'cmd_tswait' to wait for a touch event
272 - Removed 'drivers/nfc/pn532' until proper drivers
274 - Added 'cmd_text' and 'cmd_textw' to the CLI to
275 render text on the LCD and get the width in
276 pixels of the specified text before rendering.
281 - Added 'calibrate' and 'gettext' commands to the CLI
282 - Added a dialogue box for the TFT LCD/Touchscreen
283 to input alpha-numeric data and return the
284 results as a string ('drivers/lcd/tft/dialogues/*')
285 - Added touch screen calibration code and UI
286 ('drivers/lcd/tft/touchscreen.c')
287 - Fixed a bug in ILI9325.c to make sure that the LCD
288 is reset during initialisation
289 - ** IMPORTANT ** Changed 'core/i2c/*' to fix a number
290 of bugs (thanks Rob65!) ... though this means all
291 i2c peripherals and drivers will need to be tested.
292 - Added 'colorscheme_t' to drawing.h to try to use a
293 standard color palette across GUI controls and make
294 it easy to change later. Currently only the button
295 and progress bar make use of this.
296 - Added 'lcdBacklightOn()' and 'lcdBacklightOff()' to
298 - Added 'CFG_TFTLCD_TS_THRESHOLD' to projectconfig.h
299 to configure touch-screen sensitivity when waiting
301 - Modified 'core/gpio/gpio.c' to reduce the compiled code
302 size. Repetitive switches where only the registers
303 change were modified to use temporary registers and
304 execute the code only once.
305 - Added the source and binaries for TheDotFactory to
306 'tools/dotfactory' for convenience sake. See:
307 http://www.pavius.net/downloads/tools/53-the-dot-factory
308 - Removed 'drivers/lcd/tft/tscalibration.c' and moved
309 the relevant code to touchscreen.c
310 - Removed the imgconv tool from 'tools/imgconv' (see
311 point below for more information)
312 - Removed the previous custom image code and replaced
313 it with 24-bit Windows bitmap files. This is a bit
314 slower (since 24-bit data needs to be converted to
315 RGB565 for each pixel and rows are rendered bottom
316 up making pixel drawing harder to optimise) but
317 converting and eventually saving images is easier.
318 The current code is functional but needs to be
320 - Made some minor optimisations to the data and cmd
321 functions in the ILI9325 driver. Other functions
322 need to be optimised as well, but these two should
323 be close to optimal now. Currently 25 cycles
324 compiled with -Os, 36 cycles with no optimisation.
325 - Added 'projects/command/drawing/cmd_bmp.c' to load
326 24-bit Windows bitmap images from the SD card and
327 display them on the TFT LCD.
328 - Added some schematics to '/tools/schematics' to
329 show the assumed pin configurations
331 v0.60 - 8 December 2010
332 =======================
334 - Added a number of CLI commands for the TFT LCD
335 (see 'project/commands/drawing')
336 - Modified FCLK_FAST() in 'drivers/fatfs/mmc.c' to set
337 the max speed to 6.0MHz for improved reliability.
338 Tested with a 4GB microSD card, 300KB/s can be read
339 using a 512 byte read buffer.
340 - Modified Chibi to use 16-bit timer 0 for us delays
342 - Added a number of commands to
343 '/projects/commands/drawing' for basic TFT LCD
344 operations. Removed 'lcd-test.c' and 'lcd-fill.c'.
345 - Added a flag to projectconfig.h to make FATFS read-only
346 (to save a couple KB when space is tight).
347 - Moved 'project/eeprom.*' to 'drivers/eeprom' to add a
348 level of abstraction to eeprom access throughout the code
349 - Added a table to projectconfig.h to manage eeprom
350 addresses. First 256 byte of eeprom should be reserved
352 - Added 'drivers/lcd/tft/colors.h' to keep all common
353 16-bit RGB565 color definitions in one location
354 - Added some sample images to 'tools/imgconv' that can
355 be used to render a basic clock on a TFT LCD screen
356 (using drawImageFromFile in 'drivers/lcd/tft/drawing.c')
357 - Modified the makefile to automatically run './lpcrc'
359 - Added drawButton() to 'drivers/lcd/tft/drawing.c'
360 - Updated 'drivers/lcd/tft/touchscreen.c' to do basic
361 debouncing. tsReadZ() was added to detect pressure on
362 the touch screen, and tsWaitForEvent() will only exit
363 when the pressure passes a minimum threshold. (Thanks
364 to Limor for pointing out some code by Rossum for this.)
365 - Fixed some off-by-one pixel errors in cmd-test and
368 v0.51 - 27 November 2010
369 ========================
371 - Added simple RSA encryption/decryption driver. Currently limited to
372 using 64-bit and 32-bit numbers in key pairs, which isn't terribly secure,
373 but allows much smaller code size than if huge number support was included.
374 - Added a driver for the MCP4725 I2C DAC (see "drivers/dac/mcp4725").
375 - Moved 'rom_drivers.h' from 'core/usbhid-rom' to 'core' since it can be used
376 for usbmsd-rom as well if it is implemented at a later date.
377 - ili9325ReadData() added to ili9325.c by Adafruit Industries (thanks!)
378 - Modified FCLK_FAST() in 'drivers/fatfs/mmc.c' to set fast SPI speed
379 to 18MHz instead of the previous 4MHz. This allows for slightly faster
380 rendering of bitmap images from SD cards, amongst other things.
381 - Fixed ILI9325 driver to use 0,0 based pixels and not 1x1, meaning the
382 pixel co-ordinates are 0..239 for X and 0..319 for Y. There may still be
383 some off-by-one pixel issues that need to be further tested.
385 v0.50 - 26 October 2010
386 =======================
388 - Moved command.c and cmd_tbl.h to /project to try to keep all
389 project-specific files in one location to improve code-sharing and make
391 - Created seperate .c files for every command for the command-line interface
392 to make it easier to maintain and share code between projects. All commands
393 listed in cmd_tbl.h are now stored in their own files in /project/commands
394 (ex.: "/project/commands/cmd_hello.c", etc.)
395 - Added a CLI command to demonstrate how to draw to the ILI9325 TFT LCD
396 - Added a CLI command to show the contents of any directory from the SD card
397 (/project/commmands/cmd_sd_dir.c)
398 - Added a CLI command showing how to enter deep-sleep and exit with a SW
399 wakeup (/project/commands/cmd_deepsleep.c). Please note that the wakeup
400 will not work if you are using USB for the CLI. To see the wakeup message,
401 you must use UART for the CLI, which is selected by uncommenting
402 CFG_PRINTF_UART in projectconfig.h
403 - Fixed pmu.c to set the core clock back to an appropriate state after wakeup
404 - Added simple wrapper for eeprom access (projects/eeprom.c)
405 - Reorganised drivers/lcd to take into account non TFT LCD displays.
406 - Added a preliminary (experimental) driver for 128x64 pixel ST7565-based
407 bitmap LCDs (ex: Adafruit Industries - http://bit.ly/9xj5vw) ... based on a
408 driver from Limor Fried at Adafruit
409 - Numerous bug fixes added by Roel Verdult (Linux compatibility, GCC warnings, etc.)
410 - Added stub files for PN532 driver (/drivers/nfc/pn532), and added CFG_PN532 to
411 projectconfig.h as an option
412 - Added a simple pwm example using 16-bit timer 1 and p1.9 (MAT0) for the output. PWM can be used
413 to drive stepper motors, or to dim LEDs by adjusting the duty-cycle, etc. The example can be
415 - Added a bi-polar stepper motor driver based on the Arduino library. Basic position data was added
416 to detece deviation from the 'Home' position and to retrieve the spindle's current angle. See
417 "drivers/motor/stepper" for more information.
418 - Added test firmware for the UART and USBCDC CLI (tools/testfirmware)
419 - Added a table to projectconfig.h to try to keep track of pin and peripherals
420 usage by drivers and the included SW examples.
421 - Reorganised some pins used by drivers to avoid pin conflicts.
422 - Modified core/timer16/timer16.c to allow PWM output to be stopped after a
423 certain number of pulses have been sent out.
427 - The SPI code needs to be modified to allow several SPI devices to be safely
428 connected on the same bus. At present, this has not been tested since the
429 SSP/SPI blocks are used exclusively in the current drivers.
