1 AVR Libc

1.1

Introduction

The latest version of this document is always available from http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avr-libc/

The AVR Libc package provides a subset of the standard C library for Atmel AVR

8-bit RISC microcontrollers . In addition, the library provides the basic startup code needed by most applications.

There is a wealth of information in this document which goes beyond simply describing the interfaces and routines provided by the library. We hope that this document provides enough information to get a new AVR developer up to speed quickly using the freely available development tools: binutils, gcc avr-libc and many others.

If you find yourself stuck on a problem which this document doesn’t quite address, you

General information about this library 2 may wish to post a message to the avr-gcc mailing list. Most of the developers of the

AVR binutils and gcc ports in addition to the devleopers of avr-libc subscribe to the list, so you will usually be able to get your problem resolved. You can subscribe to the list at http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-gcc-list

. Before posting to the list, you might want to try reading the

Frequently Asked Questions

chapter of this document.

Note:

If you think you’ve found a bug, or have a suggestion for an improvement, either in this documentation or in the library itself, please use the bug tracker at https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=avr-libc to ensure the issue won’t be forgotten.

1.2

General information about this library

In general, it has been the goal to stick as best as possible to established standards while implementing this library. Commonly, this refers to the C library as described by the ANSI X3.159-1989 and ISO/IEC 9899:1990 ("ANSI-C") standard, as well as parts of their successor ISO/IEC 9899:1999 ("C99"). Some additions have been inspired by other standards like IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 ("POSIX.1"), while other extensions are purely AVR-specific (like the entire program-space string interface).

Unless otherwise noted, functions of this library are not guarenteed to be reentrant. In particular, any functions that store local state are known to be non-reentrant, as well as functions that manipulate IO registers like the EEPROM access routines. If these functions are used within both, standard and interrupt context, undefined behaviour will result.

5.1.1

Detailed Description

#include <assert.h>

This header file defines a debugging aid.

As there is no standard error output stream available for many applications using this library, the generation of a printable error message is not enabled by default. These messages will only be generated if the application defines the macro

__ASSERT_USE_STDERR

before including the < assert.h

> header file. By default, only

abort()

will be called to halt the application.

5.1.2

Define Documentation

5.1.2.1

#define assert(expression)

Parameters: expression Expression to test for.

The

assert()

macro tests the given expression and if it is false, the calling process is terminated. A diagnostic message is written to stderr and the function

abort()

is called, effectively terminating the program.

If expression is true, the

assert()

macro does nothing.

The

assert()

macro may be removed at compile time by defining NDEBUG as a macro

(e.g., by using the compiler option -DNDEBUG).

<avr/boot.h>: Bootloader Support Utilities 9

The macros in this module provide a C language interface to the bootloader support functionality of certain AVR processors. These macros are designed to work with all sizes of flash memory.

Note:

Not all AVR processors provide bootloader support. See your processor datasheet to see if it provides bootloader support.

Todo

From email with Marek: On smaller devices (all except ATmega64/128), __SPM_-

REG is in the I/O space, accessible with the shorter "in" and "out" instructions since the boot loader has a limited size, this could be an important optimization.

API Usage Example

The following code shows typical usage of the boot API.

#include <inttypes.h>

#include <avr/interrupt.h>

#include <avr/pgmspace.h> void boot_program_page (uint32_t page, uint8_t *buf)

{ uint16_t i; uint8_t sreg;

// Disable interrupts.

sreg = SREG; cli(); eeprom_busy_wait (); boot_page_erase (page); boot_spm_busy_wait (); // Wait until the memory is erased.

for (i=0; i<SPM_PAGESIZE; i+=2)

{

// Set up little-endian word.

uint16_t w = *buf++; w += (*buf++) << 8; boot_page_fill (page + i, w);

} boot_page_write (page); boot_spm_busy_wait();

// Store buffer in flash page.

<avr/eeprom.h>: EEPROM handling

5.3.1

Detailed Description

#include <avr/eeprom.h>

This header file declares the interface to some simple library routines suitable for handling the data EEPROM contained in the AVR microcontrollers. The implementation uses a simple polled mode interface. Applications that require interrupt-controlled

EEPROM access to ensure that no time will be wasted in spinloops will have to deploy their own implementation.

Note:

All of the read/write functions first make sure the EEPROM is ready to be accessed. Since this may cause long delays if a write operation is still pending, timecritical applications should first poll the EEPROM e. g. using

eeprom_is_ready()

before attempting any actual I/O.

This header file declares inline functions that call the assembler subroutines directly. This prevents that the compiler generates push/pops for the call-clobbered registers. This way also a specific calling convention could be used for the eeprom routines e.g. by passing values in __tmp_reg__, eeprom addresses in X and memory addresses in Z registers. Method is optimized for code size.

Presently supported are two locations of the EEPROM register set:

0x1F,0x20,0x21 and 0x1C,0x1D,0x1E (see

__EEPROM_REG_LOCATIONS__ ).

As these functions modify IO registers, they are known to be non-reentrant. If any of these functions are used from both, standard and interrupt context, the applications must ensure proper protection (e.g. by disabling interrupts before accessing them).

First two letters: EECR address. Second two letters: EEDR address. Last two letters: EEAR address. The default 1C1D1E corresponds to the register location that is valid for most controllers.

<avr/pgmspace.h>: Program Space String Utilities 18 register names common to all AVR devices are defined directly within <avr/io.h>, but most of the details come from the respective include file.

Note that this file always includes

#include <avr/sfr_defs.h>

See

<avr/sfr_defs.h>: Special function registers

for the details.

Included are definitions of the IO register set and their respective bit values as specified in the Atmel documentation. Note that Atmel is not very consistent in its naming conventions, so even identical functions sometimes get different names on different devices.

Also included are the specific names useable for interrupt function definitions as documented

here .

Finally, the following macros are defined:

• RAMEND

A constant describing the last on-chip RAM location.

• XRAMEND

A constant describing the last possible location in RAM. This is equal to RA-

MEND for devices that do not allow for external RAM.

• E2END

A constant describing the address of the last EEPROM cell.

• FLASHEND

A constant describing the last byte address in flash ROM.

• SPM_PAGESIZE

For devices with bootloader support, the flash pagesize (in bytes) to be used for the SPM instruction.

Detailed Description

#include <avr/io.h>

#include <avr/pgmspace.h>

The functions in this module provide interfaces for a program to access data stored in program space (flash memory) of the device. In order to use these functions, the target device must support either the LPM or ELPM instructions.

Note:

These functions are an attempt to provide some compatibility with header files that come with IAR C, to make porting applications between different compilers easier. This is not 100% compatibility though (GCC does not have full support for multiple address spaces yet).

If you are working with strings which are completely based in ram, use the standard string functions described in

<string.h>: Strings .

If possible, put your constant tables in the lower 64K and use

pgm_read_byte_near()

or

pgm_read_word_near()

instead of

pgm_read_byte_far()

or

pgm_read_word_far()

since it is more efficient that way, and you can still use the upper 64K for executable code.

Additional notes from <avr/sfr_defs.h>

The <avr/sfr_defs.h> file is included by all of the <avr/ioXXXX.h> files, which use macros defined here to make the special function register definitions look like C variables or simple constants, depending on the _SFR_ASM_COMPAT define.

Some examples from <avr/iom128.h> to show how to define such macros:

#define PORTA _SFR_IO8(0x1b)

#define TCNT1 _SFR_IO16(0x2c)

#define PORTF _SFR_MEM8(0x61)

#define TCNT3 _SFR_MEM16(0x88)

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

5.6

Additional notes from <avr/sfr_defs.h> 27

If _SFR_ASM_COMPAT is not defined, C programs can use names like PORTA directly in C expressions (also on the left side of assignment operators) and GCC will do the right thing (use short I/O instructions if possible). The __SFR_OFFSET definition is not used in any way in this case.

Define _SFR_ASM_COMPAT as 1 to make these names work as simple constants (addresses of the I/O registers). This is necessary when included in preprocessed assembler (∗.S) source files, so it is done automatically if __ASSEMBLER__ is defined. By default, all addresses are defined as if they were memory addresses (used in lds/sts instructions). To use these addresses in in/out instructions, you must subtract 0x20 from them.

For more backwards compatibility, insert the following at the start of your old assembler source file:

#define __SFR_OFFSET 0

This automatically subtracts 0x20 from I/O space addresses, but it’s a hack, so it is recommended to change your source: wrap such addresses in macros defined here, as shown below. After this is done, the __SFR_OFFSET definition is no longer necessary and can be removed.

Real example - this code could be used in a boot loader that is portable between devices with SPMCR at different addresses.

<avr/iom163.h>: #define SPMCR _SFR_IO8(0x37)

<avr/iom128.h>: #define SPMCR _SFR_MEM8(0x68)

#if _SFR_IO_REG_P(SPMCR) out _SFR_IO_ADDR(SPMCR), r24

#else sts _SFR_MEM_ADDR(SPMCR), r24

#endif

You can use the in/out/cbi/sbi/sbic/sbis instructions, without the _SFR_-

IO_REG_P test, if you know that the register is in the I/O space (as with SREG, for example). If it isn’t, the assembler will complain (I/O address out of range 0...0x3f), so this should be fairly safe.

If you do not define __SFR_OFFSET (so it will be 0x20 by default), all special register addresses are defined as memory addresses (so SREG is 0x5f), and (if code size and speed are not important, and you don’t like the ugly #if above) you can always use lds/sts to access them. But, this will not work if __SFR_OFFSET != 0x20, so use a different macro (defined only if __SFR_OFFSET == 0x20) for safety: sts _SFR_ADDR(SPMCR), r24

In C programs, all 3 combinations of _SFR_ASM_COMPAT and __SFR_OFFSET are supported - the _SFR_ADDR(SPMCR) macro can be used to get the address of the

SPMCR register (0x57 or 0x68 depending on device).

<avr/version.h>: avr-libc version macros

5.8.1

Detailed Description

#include <avr/version.h>

This header file defines macros that contain version numbers and strings describing the current version of avr-libc.

The version number itself basically consists of three pieces that are separated by a dot: the major number, the minor number, and the revision number. For development versions (which use an odd minor number), the string representation additionally gets the date code (YYYYMMDD) appended.

This file will also be included by <avr/io.h>. That way, portable tests can be implemented using <avr/io.h> that can be used in code that wants to remain backwardscompatible to library versions prior to the date when the library version API had been added, as referenced but undefined C preprocessor macros automatically evaluate to 0.

<avr/wdt.h>: Watchdog timer handling 31

5.9

<avr/wdt.h>: Watchdog timer handling

5.9.1

Detailed Description

#include <avr/wdt.h>

This header file declares the interface to some inline macros handling the watchdog timer present in many AVR devices. In order to prevent the watchdog timer configuration from being accidentally altered by a crashing application, a special timed sequence is required in order to change it. The macros within this header file handle the required sequence automatically before changing any value. Interrupts will be disabled during the manipulation.

Note:

Depending on the fuse configuration of the particular device, further restrictions might apply, in particular it might be disallowed to turn off the watchdog timer.

Note that for newer devices (ATmega88 and newer, effectively any AVR that has the option to also generate interrupts), the watchdog timer remains active even after a system reset (except a power-on condition), using the fastest prescaler value (approximately

15 ms). It is therefore required to turn off the watchdog early during program startup, the datasheet recommends a sequence like the following:

#include <stdint.h>

#include <avr/wdt.h> uint8_t mcusr_mirror; void get_mcusr(void) \

__attribute__((naked)) \

__attribute__((section(".init3"))); void get_mcusr(void)

{ mcusr_mirror = MCUSR;

MCUSR = 0; wdt_disable();

}

Saving the value of MCUSR in mcusr_mirror is only needed if the application later wants to examine the reset source, but clearing in particular the watchdog reset flag before disabling the watchdog is required, according to the datasheet.

: "r0" \

)

Disable the watchdog timer, if possible. This attempts to turn off the Enable bit in the watchdog control register. See the datasheet for details.

5.9.2.2

#define wdt_enable(timeout) _wdt_write(timeout)

Enable the watchdog timer, configuring it for expiry after timeout (which is a combination of the WDP0 through WDP2 bits to write into the WDTCR register; For those devices that have a WDTCSR register, it uses the combination of the WDP0 through

WDP3 bits).

See also the symbolic constants WDTO_15MS et al.

5.9.2.3

#define wdt_reset() __asm__ __volatile__ ("wdr")

Reset the watchdog timer. When the watchdog timer is enabled, a call to this instruction is required before the timer expires, otherwise a watchdog-initiated device reset will occur.

#define WDTO_120MS 3

See WDT0_15MS

5.9.2.5

#define WDTO_15MS 0

Symbolic constants for the watchdog timeout. Since the watchdog timer is based on a free-running RC oscillator, the times are approximate only and apply to a supply voltage of 5 V. At lower supply voltages, the times will increase. For older devices, the times will be as large as three times when operating at Vcc = 3 V, while the newer devices (e. g. ATmega128, ATmega8) only experience a negligible change.

Possible timeout values are: 15 ms, 30 ms, 60 ms, 120 ms, 250 ms, 500 ms, 1 s, 2 s.

(Some devices also allow for 4 s and 8 s.) Symbolic constants are formed by the prefix

WDTO_ , followed by the time.

Example that would select a watchdog timer expiry of approximately 500 ms: wdt_enable(WDTO_500MS);

<compat/deprecated.h>: Deprecated items

5.10.1

Detailed Description

This header file contains several items that used to be available in previous versions of this library, but have eventually been deprecated over time.

#include <compat/deprected.h>

These items are supplied within that header file for backward compatibility reasons only, so old source code that has been written for previous library versions could easily be maintained until its end-of-life. Use of any of these items in new code is strongly discouraged.

Allowing specific system-wide interrupts

In addition to globally enabling interrupts, each device’s particular interrupt needs to be enabled separately if interrupts for this device are desired. While some devices maintain their interrupt enable bit inside the device’s register set, external and timer interrupts have system-wide configuration registers.

Example:

// Enable timer 1 overflow interrupts.

timer_enable_int(_BV(TOIE1));

// Do some work...

// Disable all timer interrupts.

timer_enable_int(0);

Note:

Be careful when you use these functions. If you already have a different interrupt enabled, you could inadvertantly disable it by enabling another intterupt.

Obsolete IO macros

Back in a time when AVR-GCC and avr-libc could not handle IO port access in the direct assignment form as they are handled now, all IO port access had to be done through specific macros that eventually resulted in inline assembly instructions performing the desired action.

These macros became obsolete, as reading and writing IO ports can be done by simply using the IO port name in an expression, and all bit manipulation (including those on

IO ports) can be done using generic C bit manipulation operators.

The macros in this group simulate the historical behaviour. While they are supposed to be applied to IO ports, the emulation actually uses standard C methods, so they could be applied to arbitrary memory locations as well.

<inttypes.h>: Integer Type conversions 40

Some functions in the library set the global variable errno when an error occurs. The

file, < errno.h

>, provides symbolic names for various error codes.

Warning:

The errno global variable is not safe to use in a threaded or multi-task system. A race condition can occur if a task is interrupted between the call which sets error and when the task examines errno. If another task changes errno during this time, the result will be incorrect for the interrupted task.

<inttypes.h>: Integer Type conversions

5.14.1

Detailed Description

#include <inttypes.h>

This header file includes the exact-width integer definitions from < stdint.h

>, and

extends them with additional facilities provided by the implementation.

Currently, the extensions include two additional integer types that could hold a "far" pointer (i.e. a code pointer that can address more than 64 KB), as well as standard names for all printf and scanf formatting options that are supported by the

<stdio.h>:

Standard IO facilities . As the library does not support the full range of conversion

specifiers from ISO 9899:1999, only those conversions that are actually implemented will be listed here.

The idea behind these conversion macros is that, for each of the types defined by

< stdint.h

>, a macro will be supplied that portably allows formatting an object of that

type in

printf()

or

scanf()

operations. Example:

<inttypes.h>: Integer Type conversions 41

...

printf("The hexadecimal value of smallval is " PRIx8

", the decimal value of longval is " PRId32 ".\n", smallval, longval); macros for printf and scanf format specifiers

For C++, these are only included if __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS is defined before in-

cluding < inttypes.h

>.

<setjmp.h>: Non-local goto 57 function, the C library provides the

setjmp()

and

longjmp()

functions.

setjmp()

and

longjmp()

are useful for dealing with errors and interrupts encountered in a low-level subroutine of a program.

Note: setjmp()

and

longjmp()

make programs hard to understand and maintain. If possible, an alternative should be used.

longjmp()

can destroy changes made to global register variables (see

How to permanently bind a variable to a register?

).

For a very detailed discussion of

setjmp() /longjmp(), see Chapter 7 of Advanced Pro-

gramming in the UNIX Environment , by W. Richard Stevens.

Example:

#include <setjmp.h> jmp_buf env; int main (void)

{ if (setjmp (env))

{

... handle error ...

}

}

...

while (1)

{

... main processing loop which calls foo() some where ...

} void foo (void)

{

... blah, blah, blah ...

if (err)

{ longjmp (env, 1);

}

5.16.2

Function Documentation

5.16.2.1

void longjmp (jmp_buf __jmpb, int __ret)

Non-local jump to a saved stack context.

#include <setjmp.h>

longjmp()

restores the environment saved by the last call of

setjmp()

with the corresponding __jmpb argument. After

longjmp()

is completed, program execution continues as if the corresponding call of

setjmp()

had just returned the value __ret.

Note: longjmp()

cannot cause 0 to be returned. If

longjmp()

is invoked with a second argument of 0, 1 will be returned instead.

Parameters:

__jmpb Information saved by a previous call to

setjmp() .

__ret Value to return to the caller of

setjmp() .

Returns:

This function never returns.

5.16.2.2

int setjmp (jmp_buf __jmpb)

Save stack context for non-local goto.

#include <setjmp.h>

setjmp()

saves the stack context/environment in __jmpb for later use by

longjmp() . The

stack context will be invalidated if the function which called

setjmp()

returns.

Parameters:

__jmpb Variable of type jmp_buf which holds the stack information such that the environment can be restored.

Returns: setjmp()

returns 0 if returning directly, and non-zero when returning from

longjmp()

using the saved context.

Detailed Description

#include <stdio.h>

Introduction to the Standard IO facilities This file declares the standard IO facilities that are implemented in avr-libc. Due to the nature of the underlying hardware, only a limited subset of standard IO is implemented. There is no actual file implementation available, so only device IO can be performed. Since there’s no operating system, the application needs to provide enough details about their devices in order to make them usable by the standard IO facilities.

Due to space constraints, some functionality has not been implemented at all (like some of the printf conversions that have been left out). Nevertheless, potential users of this implementation should be warned: the printf and scanf families of functions, although usually associated with presumably simple things like the famous "Hello, world!" program, are actually fairly complex which causes their inclusion to eat up a fair amount of code space. Also, they are not fast due to the nature of interpreting the format string at run-time. Whenever possible, resorting to the (sometimes nonstandard) predetermined conversion facilities that are offered by avr-libc will usually cost much less in terms of speed and code size.

Tunable options for code size vs. feature set In order to allow programmers a code size vs. functionality tradeoff, the function

vfprintf()

which is the heart of the printf family can be selected in different flavours using linker options. See the documentation of

vfprintf()

for a detailed description. The same applies to

vfscanf()

and the scanf family of functions.

Outline of the chosen API The standard streams stdin, stdout, and stderr are provided, but contrary to the C standard, since avr-libc has no knowledge about applicable devices, these streams are not already pre-initialized at application startup. Also,

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

5.18

<stdio.h>: Standard IO facilities 71 since there is no notion of "file" whatsoever to avr-libc, there is no function fopen() that could be used to associate a stream to some device. (See

note 1 .) Instead, the

function

fdevopen()

is provided to associate a stream to a device, where the device needs to provide a function to send a character, to receive a character, or both. There is no differentiation between "text" and "binary" streams inside avr-libc. Character \n is sent literally down to the device’s put() function. If the device requires a carriage return (\r) character to be sent before the linefeed, its put() routine must implement this (see

note 2 ).

As an alternative method to

fdevopen() , the macro

fdev_setup_stream()

might be used to setup a user-supplied FILE structure.

It should be noted that the automatic conversion of a newline character into a carriage return - newline sequence breaks binary transfers. If binary transfers are desired, no automatic conversion should be performed, but instead any string that aims to issue a

CR-LF sequence must use "\r\n" explicitly.

For convenience, the first call to

fdevopen()

that opens a stream for reading will cause the resulting stream to be aliased to stdin. Likewise, the first call to

fdevopen()

that opens a stream for writing will cause the resulting stream to be aliased to both, stdout, and stderr. Thus, if the open was done with both, read and write intent, all three standard streams will be identical. Note that these aliases are indistinguishable from each other, thus calling

fclose()

on such a stream will also

effectively close all of its aliases ( note 3 ).

It is possible to tie additional user data to a stream, using

fdev_set_udata() . The back-

end put and get functions can then extract this user data using

fdev_get_udata() , and act

appropriately. For example, a single put function could be used to talk to two different

UARTs that way, or the put and get functions could keep internal state between calls there.

Format strings in flash ROM All the printf and scanf family functions come in two flavours: the standard name, where the format string is expected to be in SRAM, as well as a version with the suffix "_P" where the format string is expected to reside in the flash ROM. The macro PSTR (explained in

<avr/pgmspace.h>: Program Space

String Utilities ) becomes very handy for declaring these format strings.

Running stdio without

malloc()

By default,

fdevopen()

as well as the floating-point versions of the printf and scanf family require

malloc() . As this is often not desired in

the limited environment of a microcontroller, an alternative option is provided to run completely without

malloc() .

The macro

fdev_setup_stream()

is provided to prepare a user-supplied FILE buffer for operation with stdio. If floating-point operation is desired, a user-supplied buffer can as well be passed for the internal buffering for the floating-point numbers (and processing of %[ scanf data).

Example

#include <stdio.h> static int uart_putchar(char c, FILE *stream); static FILE mystdout = FDEV_SETUP_STREAM(uart_putchar, NULL,

_FDEV_SETUP_WRITE); static int uart_putchar(char c, FILE *stream)

{

} if (c == ’\n’) uart_putchar(’\r’); loop_until_bit_is_set(UCSRA, UDRE);

UDR = c; return 0; int main(void)

{ init_uart(); stdout = &mystdout; printf("Hello, world!\n");

} return 0;

This example uses the initializer form

FDEV_SETUP_STREAM()

rather than the function-like

fdev_setup_stream() , so all data initialization happens during C start-up.

If streams initialized that way are no longer needed, they can be destroyed by first calling the macro

fdev_close() , and then destroying the object itself. No call to

fclose()

should be issued for these streams. While calling

fclose()

itself is harmless, it will cause an undefined reference to

free()

and thus cause the linker to link the malloc module into the application.

Notes

Note 1:

It might have been possible to implement a device abstraction that is compatible with fopen() but since this would have required to parse a string, and to take all the information needed either out of this string, or out of an additional table that would need to be provided by the application, this approach was not taken.

Note 2:

This basically follows the Unix approach: if a device such as a terminal needs special handling, it is in the domain of the terminal device driver to provide this functionality. Thus, a simple function suitable as put() for

fdevopen()

that talks to a UART interface might look like this:

<stdio.h>: Standard IO facilities 73 int uart_putchar(char c, FILE *stream)

{

} if (c == ’\n’) uart_putchar(’\r’); loop_until_bit_is_set(UCSRA, UDRE);

UDR = c; return 0;

Note 3:

This implementation has been chosen because the cost of maintaining an alias is considerably smaller than the cost of maintaining full copies of each stream.

Yet, providing an implementation that offers the complete set of standard streams was deemed to be useful. Not only that writing

printf()

instead of fprintf(mystream, ...) saves typing work, but since avr-gcc needs to resort to pass all arguments of variadic functions on the stack (as opposed to passing them in registers for functions that take a fixed number of parameters), the ability to pass one parameter less by implying stdin will also save some execution time.

fdevopen()

function.

5.18.2.10

#define FDEV_SETUP_STREAM(put, get, rwflag)

Initializer for a user-supplied stdio stream.

This macro acts similar to

fdev_setup_stream() , but it is to be used as the initializer of

a variable of type FILE.

The remaining arguments are to be used as explained in

fdev_setup_stream() .

5.18.2.11

#define fdev_setup_stream(stream, put, get, rwflag)

Setup a user-supplied buffer as an stdio stream.

This macro takes a user-supplied buffer stream, and sets it up as a stream that is valid for stdio operations, similar to one that has been obtained dynamically from

fdevopen() .

The buffer to setup must be of type FILE.

The arguments put and get are identical to those that need to be passed to

fdevopen() .

The rwflag argument can take one of the values _FDEV_SETUP_READ, _FDEV_-

SETUP_WRITE, or _FDEV_SETUP_RW, for read, write, or read/write intent, respectively.

Note:

No assignments to the standard streams will be performed by

fdev_setup_stream() .

If standard streams are to be used, these need to be assigned by the user. See also under

5.18.3.2

int fclose (FILE ∗ __stream)

This function closes stream, and disallows and further IO to and from it.

When using

fdevopen()

to setup the stream, a call to

fclose()

is needed in order to free the internal resources allocated.

If the stream has been set up using

fdev_setup_stream()

or

FDEV_SETUP_-

STREAM() , use

fdev_close()

instead.

It currently always returns 0 (for success).

5.18.3.3

FILE∗ fdevopen (int(∗)(char, FILE ∗) put, int(∗)(FILE ∗) get)

This function is a replacement for fopen().

It opens a stream for a device where the actual device implementation needs to be provided by the application. If successful, a pointer to the structure for the opened stream is returned. Reasons for a possible failure currently include that neither the put nor the get argument have been provided, thus attempting to open a stream with no IO intent at all, or that insufficient dynamic memory is available to establish a new stream.

If the put function pointer is provided, the stream is opened with write intent. The function passed as put shall take two arguments, the first a character to write to the device, and the second a pointer to FILE, and shall return 0 if the output was successful, and a nonzero value if the character could not be sent to the device.

If the get function pointer is provided, the stream is opened with read intent. The function passed as get shall take a pointer to FILE as its single argument, and return one character from the device, passed as an int type. If an error occurs when trying to read from the device, it shall return _FDEV_ERR. If an end-of-file condition was reached while reading from the device, _FDEV_EOF shall be returned.

If both functions are provided, the stream is opened with read and write intent.

The first stream opened with read intent is assigned to stdin, and the first one opened with write intent is assigned to both, stdout and stderr.

fdevopen()

uses

calloc()

(und thus

malloc() ) in order to allocate the storage for the new

stream.

Note:

If the macro __STDIO_FDEVOPEN_COMPAT_12 is declared before including

< stdio.h

>, a function prototype for

fdevopen()

will be chosen that is backwards compatible with avr-libc version 1.2 and before. This is solely intented for providing a simple migration path without the need to immediately change all source code. Do not use for new code.

Test the error flag of stream. This flag can only be cleared by a call to

clearerr() .

5.18.3.6

int fflush (FILE ∗ stream)

Flush stream.

This is a null operation provided for source-code compatibility only, as the standard IO implementation currently does not perform any buffering.

5.18.3.7

int fgetc (FILE ∗ __stream)

The function fgetc reads a character from stream. It returns the character, or EOF in case end-of-file was encountered or an error occurred. The routines

feof()

or

ferror()

must be used to distinguish between both situations.

5.18.3.8

char∗ fgets (char ∗ __str, int __size, FILE ∗ __stream)

Read at most size - 1 bytes from stream, until a newline character was encountered, and store the characters in the buffer pointed to by str. Unless an error was encountered while reading, the string will then be terminated with a NUL character.

If an error was encountered, the function returns NULL and sets the error flag of stream , which can be tested using

ferror() . Otherwise, a pointer to the string will

be returned.

5.18.3.9

int fprintf (FILE ∗ __stream, const char ∗ __fmt, ...)

Returns the number of objects successfully read, i. e. nmemb unless an input error occured or end-of-file was encountered.

feof()

and

ferror()

must be used to distinguish between these two conditions.

int ungetc (int __c, FILE ∗ __stream)

The

function pushes the character c (converted to an unsigned char) back onto the input stream pointed to by stream. The pushed-back character will be returned by a subsequent read on the stream.

Currently, only a single character can be pushed back onto the stream.

The

ungetc()

function returns the character pushed back after the conversion, or EOF if the operation fails. If the value of the argument c character equals EOF, the operation will fail and the stream will remain unchanged.

5.18.3.32

int vfprintf (FILE ∗ __stream, const char ∗ __fmt, va_list __ap) vfprintf is the central facility of the printf family of functions. It outputs values to stream under control of a format string passed in fmt. The actual values to print are passed as a variable argument list ap.

vfprintf returns the number of characters written to stream, or EOF in case of an error. Currently, this will only happen if stream has not been opened with write intent.

The format string is composed of zero or more directives: ordinary characters (not

), which are copied unchanged to the output stream; and conversion specifications, each of which results in fetching zero or more subsequent arguments. Each conversion specification is introduced by the character. The arguments must properly correspond

(after type promotion) with the conversion specifier. After the , the following appear in sequence:

• Zero or more of the following flags:

– # The value should be converted to an "alternate form". For c, d, i, s, and u conversions, this option has no effect. For o conversions, the precision of the number is increased to force the first character of the output string to a zero (except if a zero value is printed with an explicit precision of zero).

For x and X conversions, a non-zero result has the string ‘0x’ (or ‘0X’ for

X conversions) prepended to it.

<stdio.h>: Standard IO facilities 83

– 0 (zero) Zero padding. For all conversions, the converted value is padded on the left with zeros rather than blanks. If a precision is given with a numeric conversion (d, i, o, u, i, x, and X), the 0 flag is ignored.

– - A negative field width flag; the converted value is to be left adjusted on the field boundary. The converted value is padded on the right with blanks, rather than on the left with blanks or zeros. A - overrides a 0 if both are given.

– ’ ’ (space) A blank should be left before a positive number produced by a signed conversion (d, or i).

– + A sign must always be placed before a number produced by a signed conversion. A + overrides a space if both are used.

• An optional decimal digit string specifying a minimum field width. If the converted value has fewer characters than the field width, it will be padded with spaces on the left (or right, if the left-adjust173 ment flag has been given) to fill out the field width.

• An optional precision, in the form of a period . followed by an optional digit string. If the digit string is omitted, the precision is taken as zero. This gives the minimum number of digits to appear for d, i, o, u, x, and X conversions, or the maximum number of characters to be printed from a string for s conversions.

• An optional l length modifier, that specifies that the argument for the d, i, o, u, x, or X conversion is a "long int" rather than int.

• A character that specifies the type of conversion to be applied.

The conversion specifiers and their meanings are:

• diouxX The int (or appropriate variant) argument is converted to signed decimal

(d and i), unsigned octal (o), unsigned decimal (u), or unsigned hexadecimal

(x and X) notation. The letters "abcdef" are used for x conversions; the letters

"ABCDEF" are used for X conversions. The precision, if any, gives the minimum number of digits that must appear; if the converted value requires fewer digits, it is padded on the left with zeros.

• p The void ∗ argument is taken as an unsigned integer, and converted similarly as a #x command would do.

• c The int argument is converted to an "unsigned char", and the resulting character is written.

• s The "char ∗" argument is expected to be a pointer to an array of character type (pointer to a string). Characters from the array are written up to (but not including) a terminating NUL character; if a precision is specified, no more than the number specified are written. If a precision is given, no null character need be present; if the precision is not specified, or is greater than the size of the array, the array must contain a terminating NUL character.

• A is written. No argument is converted. The complete conversion specification is "%%".

• eE The double argument is rounded and converted in the format

"[-]d.ddde177dd" where there is one digit before the decimal-point character and the number of digits after it is equal to the precision; if the precision is missing, it is taken as 6; if the precision is zero, no decimal-point character appears. An E conversion uses the letter ’E’ (rather than ’e’) to introduce the exponent. The exponent always contains two digits; if the value is zero, the exponent is 00.

• fF The double argument is rounded and converted to decimal notation in the format "[-]ddd.ddd", where the number of digits after the decimal-point character is equal to the precision specification. If the precision is missing, it is taken as 6; if the precision is explicitly zero, no decimal-point character appears.

If a decimal point appears, at least one digit appears before it.

• gG The double argument is converted in style f or e (or F or E for G conversions). The precision specifies the number of significant digits. If the precision is missing, 6 digits are given; if the precision is zero, it is treated as 1. Style e is used if the exponent from its conversion is less than -4 or greater than or equal to the precision. Trailing zeros are removed from the fractional part of the result; a decimal point appears only if it is followed by at least one digit.

• S Similar to the s format, except the pointer is expected to point to a programmemory (ROM) string instead of a RAM string.

In no case does a non-existent or small field width cause truncation of a numeric field; if the result of a conversion is wider than the field width, the field is expanded to contain the conversion result.

Since the full implementation of all the mentioned features becomes fairly large, three different flavours of

vfprintf()

can be selected using linker options. The default

vfprintf()

implements all the mentioned functionality except floating point conversions.

A minimized version of

vfprintf()

is available that only implements the very basic integer and string conversion facilities, but none of the additional options that can be specified using conversion flags (these flags are parsed correctly from the format specification, but then simply ignored). This version can be requested using the following

compiler options :

-Wl,-u,vfprintf -lprintf_min

If the full functionality including the floating point conversions is required, the following options should be used:

-Wl,-u,vfprintf -lprintf_flt -lm

Limitations:

• The specified width and precision can be at most 127.

• For floating-point conversions, trailing digits will be lost if a number close to

DBL_MAX is converted with a precision > 0.

5.18.3.34

int vfscanf (FILE ∗ __stream, const char ∗ __fmt, va_list __ap)

Formatted input. This function is the heart of the scanf family of functions.

Characters are read from stream and processed in a way described by fmt. Conversion results will be assigned to the parameters passed via ap.

The format string fmt is scanned for conversion specifications. Anything that doesn’t comprise a conversion specification is taken as text that is matched literally against the input. White space in the format string will match any white space in the data

(including none), all other characters match only itself. Processing is aborted as soon as the data and format string no longer match, or there is an error or end-of-file condition on stream.

Most conversions skip leading white space before starting the actual conversion.

Conversions are introduced with the character . Possible options can follow the :

• a ∗ indicating that the conversion should be performed but the conversion result is to be discarded; no parameters will be processed from ap,

• the character h indicating that the argument is a pointer to short int (rather than int),

• the character l indicating that the argument is a pointer to long int (rather than int, for integer type conversions), or a pointer to double (for floating point conversions).

In addition, a maximal field width may be specified as a nonzero positive decimal integer, which will restrict the conversion to at most this many characters from the input stream. This field width is limited to at most 127 characters which is also the default value (except for the c conversion that defaults to 1).

The following conversion flags are supported:

• Matches a literal character. This is not a conversion.

• d Matches an optionally signed decimal integer; the next pointer must be a pointer to int.

5.18

<stdio.h>: Standard IO facilities 86

• i Matches an optionally signed integer; the next pointer must be a pointer to int . The integer is read in base 16 if it begins with 0x or 0X, in base 8 if it begins with 0, and in base 10 otherwise. Only characters that correspond to the base are used.

• o Matches an octal integer; the next pointer must be a pointer to unsigned int .

• u Matches an optionally signed decimal integer; the next pointer must be a pointer to unsigned int.

• x Matches an optionally signed hexadecimal integer; the next pointer must be a pointer to unsigned int.

• f Matches an optionally signed floating-point number; the next pointer must be a pointer to float.

• e, g, E, G Equivalent to f.

• s Matches a sequence of non-white-space characters; the next pointer must be a pointer to char, and the array must be large enough to accept all the sequence and the terminating NUL character. The input string stops at white space or at the maximum field width, whichever occurs first.

• c Matches a sequence of width count characters (default 1); the next pointer must be a pointer to char, and there must be enough room for all the characters (no terminating NUL is added). The usual skip of leading white space is suppressed.

To skip white space first, use an explicit space in the format.

• [ Matches a nonempty sequence of characters from the specified set of accepted characters; the next pointer must be a pointer to char, and there must be enough room for all the characters in the string, plus a terminating NUL character. The usual skip of leading white space is suppressed. The string is to be made up of characters in (or not in) a particular set; the set is defined by the characters between the open bracket [ character and a close bracket ] character. The set excludes those characters if the first character after the open bracket is a circumflex

. To include a close bracket in the set, make it the first character after the open bracket or the circumflex; any other position will end the set. The hyphen character - is also special; when placed between two other characters, it adds all intervening characters to the set. To include a hyphen, make it the last character before the final close bracket. For instance, [

]0-9-] means the set of everything except close bracket, zero through nine, and hyphen . The string ends with the appearance of a character not in the (or, with a circumflex, in) set or when the field width runs out.

• p Matches a pointer value (as printed by p in

printf() ); the next pointer must be

a pointer to void.

<stdio.h>: Standard IO facilities 87

• n Nothing is expected; instead, the number of characters consumed thus far from the input is stored through the next pointer, which must be a pointer to int. This is not a conversion, although it can be suppressed with the ∗ flag.

These functions return the number of input items assigned, which can be fewer than provided for, or even zero, in the event of a matching failure. Zero indicates that, while there was input available, no conversions were assigned; typically this is due to an invalid input character, such as an alphabetic character for a d conversion. The value

EOF is returned if an input failure occurs before any conversion such as an end-of-file occurs. If an error or end-of-file occurs after conversion has begun, the number of conversions which were successfully completed is returned.

By default, all the conversions described above are available except the floating-point conversions, and the %[ conversion. These conversions will be available in the extended version provided by the library libscanf_flt.a. Note that either of these conversions requires the availability of a buffer that needs to be obtained at run-time using

malloc() . If this buffer cannot be obtained, the operation is aborted, returning the

value EOF. To link a program against the extended version, use the following compiler flags in the link stage:

-Wl,-u,vfscanf -lscanf_flt -lm

A third version is available for environments that are tight on space. This version is provided in the library libscanf_min.a, and can be requested using the following options in the link stage:

-Wl,-u,vfscanf -lscanf_min -lm

In addition to the restrictions of the standard version, this version implements no field width specification, no conversion assignment suppression flag (∗), no n specification, and no general format character matching at all. All characters in fmt that do not comprise a conversion specification will simply be ignored, including white space (that is normally used to consume any amount of white space in the input stream). However, the usual skip of initial white space in the formats that support it is implemented.

Function Documentation

5.19.4.1

__inline__ void abort (void)

The

abort()

function causes abnormal program termination to occur. In the limited

AVR environment, execution is effectively halted by entering an infinite loop.

5.19.4.2

int abs (int __i)

The

abs()

function computes the absolute value of the integer i.

Note:

The

abs()

and

labs()

functions are builtins of gcc.

5.19.4.3

double atof (const char ∗ __nptr)

The

atof()

function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by nptr to double representation.

It is equivalent to calling strtod(nptr, (char **)NULL);

5.19.4.4

int atoi (const char ∗ string)

Convert a string to an integer.

The

atoi()

function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by nptr to integer representation.

It is equivalent to:

(int)strtol(nptr, (char **)NULL, 10); except that

atoi()

does not detect errors.

5.19.4.5

long int atol (const char ∗ string)

Convert a string to a long integer.

The

atol()

function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by stringp to integer representation.

It is equivalent to: strtol(nptr, (char **)NULL, 10); except that

atol()

does not detect errors.

5.19.4.6

void∗ bsearch (const void ∗ __key, const void ∗ __base, size_t __nmemb, size_t __size, int(∗)(const void ∗, const void ∗) __compar)

The

bsearch()

function searches an array of nmemb objects, the initial member of which is pointed to by base, for a member that matches the object pointed to by key . The size of each member of the array is specified by size.

The contents of the array should be in ascending sorted order according to the comparison function referenced by compar. The compar routine is expected to have two arguments which point to the key object and to an array member, in that order, and should return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the key object is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than the array member.

The

bsearch()

function returns a pointer to a matching member of the array, or a null pointer if no match is found. If two members compare as equal, which member is matched is unspecified.

5.19.4.7

void∗ calloc (size_t __nele, size_t __size)

Allocate nele elements of size each. Identical to calling

malloc()

using nele

∗ size as argument, except the allocated memory will be cleared to zero.

5.19.4.8

div_t

div (int __num, int __denom)

The

div()

function computes the value num/denom and returns the quotient and remainder in a structure named

div_t

that contains two int members named quot and rem .

5.19.4.9

char∗ dtostre (double __val, char ∗ __s, unsigned char __prec, unsigned char __flags)

The

dtostre()

function converts the double value passed in val into an ASCII representation that will be stored under s. The caller is responsible for providing sufficient storage in s.

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

5.19

<stdlib.h>: General utilities 93

Conversion is done in the format "[-]d.ddde177dd" where there is one digit before the decimal-point character and the number of digits after it is equal to the precision prec; if the precision is zero, no decimal-point character appears. If flags has the DTOSTRE_UPPERCASE bit set, the letter ’E’ (rather than ’e’ ) will be used to introduce the exponent. The exponent always contains two digits; if the value is zero, the exponent is "00".

If flags has the DTOSTRE_ALWAYS_SIGN bit set, a space character will be placed into the leading position for positive numbers.

If flags has the DTOSTRE_PLUS_SIGN bit set, a plus sign will be used instead of a space character in this case.

The

dtostre()

function returns the pointer to the converted string s.

5.19.4.10

char∗ dtostrf (double __val, char __width, char __prec, char ∗ __s)

The

dtostrf()

function converts the double value passed in val into an ASCII representationthat will be stored under s. The caller is responsible for providing sufficient storage in s.

Conversion is done in the format "[-]d.ddd". The minimum field width of the output string (including the ’.’ and the possible sign for negative values) is given in width , and prec determines the number of digits after the decimal sign.

The

dtostrf()

function returns the pointer to the converted string s.

5.19.4.11

void exit (int __status)

The

exit()

function terminates the application. Since there is no environment to return to, status is ignored, and code execution will eventually reach an infinite loop, thereby effectively halting all code processing.

In a C++ context, global destructors will be called before halting execution.

5.19.4.12

void free (void ∗ __ptr)

The

free()

function causes the allocated memory referenced by ptr to be made available for future allocations. If ptr is NULL, no action occurs.

5.19.4.13

char∗ itoa (int __val, char ∗ __s, int __radix)

Convert an integer to a string.

The function

itoa()

converts the integer value from val into an ASCII representation that will be stored under s. The caller is responsible for providing sufficient storage in s .

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

5.19

<stdlib.h>: General utilities 94

Note:

The minimal size of the buffer s depends on the choice of radix. For example, if the radix is 2 (binary), you need to supply a buffer with a minimal length of 8 ∗ sizeof (int) + 1 characters, i.e. one character for each bit plus one for the string terminator. Using a larger radix will require a smaller minimal buffer size.

Warning:

If the buffer is too small, you risk a buffer overflow.

Conversion is done using the radix as base, which may be a number between 2

(binary conversion) and up to 36. If radix is greater than 10, the next digit after

’9’ will be the letter ’a’.

If radix is 10 and val is negative, a minus sign will be prepended.

The

itoa()

function returns the pointer passed as s.

5.19.4.14

long labs (long __i)

The

labs()

function computes the absolute value of the long integer i.

Note:

The

abs()

and

labs()

functions are builtins of gcc.

5.19.4.15

ldiv_t

ldiv (long __num, long __denom)

The

ldiv()

function computes the value num/denom and returns the quotient and remainder in a structure named

ldiv_t

that contains two long integer members named quot and rem.

5.19.4.16

char∗ ltoa (long int __val, char ∗ __s, int __radix)

Convert a long integer to a string.

The function

ltoa()

converts the long integer value from val into an ASCII representation that will be stored under s. The caller is responsible for providing sufficient storage in s.

Note:

The minimal size of the buffer s depends on the choice of radix. For example, if the radix is 2 (binary), you need to supply a buffer with a minimal length of 8

∗ sizeof (long int) + 1 characters, i.e. one character for each bit plus one for the string terminator. Using a larger radix will require a smaller minimal buffer size.

The

ltoa()

function returns the pointer passed as s.

5.19.4.17

void∗ malloc (size_t __size)

The

malloc()

function allocates size bytes of memory. If

malloc()

fails, a NULL pointer is returned.

Note that

malloc()

does not initialize the returned memory to zero bytes.

See the chapter about

malloc() usage

for implementation details.

5.19.4.18

void qsort (void ∗ __base, size_t __nmemb, size_t __size,

__compar_fn_t

__compar)

The

qsort()

function is a modified partition-exchange sort, or quicksort.

The

qsort()

function sorts an array of nmemb objects, the initial member of which is pointed to by base. The size of each object is specified by size. The contents of the array base are sorted in ascending order according to a comparison function pointed to by compar, which requires two arguments pointing to the objects being compared.

The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

5.19.4.19

int rand (void)

The

rand()

function computes a sequence of pseudo-random integers in the range of 0

to RAND_MAX (as defined by the header file < stdlib.h

>).

The

srand()

function sets its argument seed as the seed for a new sequence of pseudorandom numbers to be returned by

rand() . These sequences are repeatable by calling

srand()

with the same seed value.

If no seed value is provided, the functions are automatically seeded with a value of 1.

In compliance with the C standard, these functions operate on int arguments. Since the underlying algorithm already uses 32-bit calculations, this causes a loss of precision. See

random()

for an alternate set of functions that retains full 32-bit precision.

5.19.4.23

void∗ realloc (void ∗ __ptr, size_t __size)

The

realloc()

function tries to change the size of the region allocated at ptr to the new size value. It returns a pointer to the new region. The returned pointer might be the same as the old pointer, or a pointer to a completely different region.

The contents of the returned region up to either the old or the new size value (whatever is less) will be identical to the contents of the old region, even in case a new region had to be allocated.

It is acceptable to pass ptr as NULL, in which case

realloc()

will behave identical to

malloc() .

If the new memory cannot be allocated,

realloc()

returns NULL, and the region at ptr will not be changed.

double strtod (const char ∗ __nptr, char ∗∗ __endptr)

The

strtod()

function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by nptr to double representation.

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

5.19

<stdlib.h>: General utilities 97

The expected form of the string is an optional plus ( ’+’ ) or minus sign ( ’-’ ) followed by a sequence of digits optionally containing a decimal-point character, optionally followed by an exponent. An exponent consists of an ’E’ or ’e’, followed by an optional plus or minus sign, followed by a sequence of digits.

Leading white-space characters in the string are skipped.

The

strtod()

function returns the converted value, if any.

If endptr is not NULL, a pointer to the character after the last character used in the conversion is stored in the location referenced by endptr.

If no conversion is performed, zero is returned and the value of nptr is stored in the location referenced by endptr.

If the correct value would cause overflow, plus or minus HUGE_VAL is returned (according to the sign of the value), and ERANGE is stored in errno. If the correct value would cause underflow, zero is returned and ERANGE is stored in errno.

FIXME: HUGE_VAL needs to be defined somewhere. The bit pattern is 0x7fffffff, but what number would this be?

5.19.4.27

long strtol (const char ∗ __nptr, char ∗∗ __endptr, int __base)

The

strtol()

function converts the string in nptr to a long value. The conversion is done according to the given base, which must be between 2 and 36 inclusive, or be the special value 0.

The string may begin with an arbitrary amount of white space (as determined by

isspace() ) followed by a single optional ’+’ or ’-’ sign. If base is zero or 16, the string

may then include a "0x" prefix, and the number will be read in base 16; otherwise, a zero base is taken as 10 (decimal) unless the next character is ’0’, in which case it is taken as 8 (octal).

The remainder of the string is converted to a long value in the obvious manner, stopping at the first character which is not a valid digit in the given base. (In bases above 10, the letter ’A’ in either upper or lower case represents 10, ’B’ represents 11, and so forth, with ’Z’ representing 35.)

If endptr is not NULL,

strtol()

stores the address of the first invalid character in

∗endptr. If there were no digits at all, however,

strtol()

stores the original value of nptr in endptr. (Thus, if ∗nptr is not ’\0’ but ∗∗endptr is ’\0’ on return, the entire string was valid.)

The

strtol()

function returns the result of the conversion, unless the value would underflow or overflow. If no conversion could be performed, 0 is returned. If an overflow or underflow occurs, errno is set to

ERANGE

and the function return value is clamped to LONG_MIN or LONG_MAX, respectively.

unsigned long strtoul (const char ∗ __nptr, char ∗∗ __endptr, int __base)

The

strtoul()

function converts the string in nptr to an unsigned long value. The conversion is done according to the given base, which must be between 2 and 36 inclusive, or be the special value 0.

The string may begin with an arbitrary amount of white space (as determined by

isspace() ) followed by a single optional ’+’ or ’-’ sign. If base is zero or 16, the string

may then include a "0x" prefix, and the number will be read in base 16; otherwise, a zero base is taken as 10 (decimal) unless the next character is ’0’, in which case it is taken as 8 (octal).

The remainder of the string is converted to an unsigned long value in the obvious manner, stopping at the first character which is not a valid digit in the given base.

(In bases above 10, the letter ’A’ in either upper or lower case represents 10, ’B’ represents 11, and so forth, with ’Z’ representing 35.)

If endptr is not NULL,

strtoul()

stores the address of the first invalid character in

∗endptr. If there were no digits at all, however,

strtoul()

stores the original value of nptr in endptr. (Thus, if ∗nptr is not ’\0’ but ∗∗endptr is ’\0’ on return, the entire string was valid.)

The

strtoul()

function return either the result of the conversion or, if there was a leading minus sign, the negation of the result of the conversion, unless the original (nonnegated) value would overflow; in the latter case,

strtoul()

returns ULONG_MAX, and errno is set to

ERANGE . If no conversion could be performed, 0 is returned.

5.19.4.29

char∗ ultoa (unsigned long int __val, char ∗ __s, int __radix)

Convert an unsigned long integer to a string.

The function

ultoa()

converts the unsigned long integer value from val into an ASCII representation that will be stored under s. The caller is responsible for providing sufficient storage in s.

Note:

The minimal size of the buffer s depends on the choice of radix. For example, if the radix is 2 (binary), you need to supply a buffer with a minimal length of 8 ∗ sizeof (unsigned long int) + 1 characters, i.e. one character for each bit plus one for the string terminator. Using a larger radix will require a smaller minimal buffer size.

Warning:

If the buffer is too small, you risk a buffer overflow.

Conversion is done using the radix as base, which may be a number between 2

(binary conversion) and up to 36. If radix is greater than 10, the next digit after

’9’ will be the letter ’a’.

Define Documentation

5.20.2.1

#define _FFS(x)

This macro finds the first (least significant) bit set in the input value.

This macro is very similar to the function

ffs()

except that it evaluates its argument at compile-time, so it should only be applied to compile-time constant expressions where it will reduce to a constant itself. Application of this macro to expressions that are not constant at compile-time is not recommended, and might result in a huge amount of code generated.

Returns:

The

_FFS()

macro returns the position of the first (least significant) bit set in the word val, or 0 if no bits are set. The least significant bit is position 1.

5.20.3

NULL if val was not found in the first len characters of src.

5.20.3.5

void ∗ memchr (const void ∗ src, int val, size_t len)

Scan memory for a character.

The

memchr()

function scans the first len bytes of the memory area pointed to by src for the character val. The first byte to match val (interpreted as an unsigned character) stops the operation.

Returns:

The

function returns a pointer to the matching byte or NULL if the character does not occur in the given memory area.

5.20.3.6

int memcmp (const void ∗ s1, const void ∗ s2, size_t len)

Compare memory areas.

The

memcmp()

function compares the first len bytes of the memory areas s1 and s2.

The comparision is performed using unsigned char operations.

Returns:

The

memcmp()

function returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first len bytes of s1 is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than the first len bytes of s2.

Note:

Be sure to store the result in a 16 bit variable since you may get incorrect results if you use an unsigned char or char due to truncation.

Warning:

This function is not -mint8 compatible, although if you only care about testing for equality, this function should be safe to use.

int strcmp (const char ∗ s1, const char ∗ s2)

Compare two strings.

The

strcmp()

function compares the two strings s1 and s2.

Returns:

The

strcmp()

function returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2.

5.20.3.14

char ∗ strcpy (char ∗ dest, const char ∗ src)

Copy a string.

The

strcpy()

function copies the string pointed to by src (including the terminating

’\0’ character) to the array pointed to by dest. The strings may not overlap, and the destination string dest must be large enough to receive the copy.

Returns:

The

strcpy()

function returns a pointer to the destination string dest.

Note:

If the destination string of a

strcpy()

is not large enough (that is, if the programmer was stupid/lazy, and failed to check the size before copying) then anything might happen. Overflowing fixed length strings is a favourite cracker technique.

5.20.3.15

size_t strlcat (char ∗ dst, const char ∗ src, size_t siz)

Concatenate two strings.

Appends src to string dst of size siz (unlike

strncat() , siz is the full size of dst, not space

left). At most siz-1 characters will be copied. Always NULL terminates (unless siz <= strlen(dst)).

Returns:

The

strlcpy()

function returns strlen(src). If retval >= siz, truncation occurred.

5.20.3.17

size_t strlen (const char ∗ src)

Returns:

The

strlen()

function returns the number of characters in src.

5.20.3.18

char ∗ strlwr (char ∗ string)

Convert a string to lower case.

The

strlwr()

function will convert a string to lower case. Only the upper case alphabetic characters [A .. Z] are converted. Non-alphabetic characters will not be changed.

strlwr()

function returns a pointer to the converted string.

5.20.3.19

int strncasecmp (const char ∗ s1, const char ∗ s2, size_t len)

Compare two strings ignoring case.

The

strncasecmp()

function is similar to

strcasecmp() , except it only compares the first

n characters of s1.

Returns:

The

strncasecmp()

function returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 (or the first n bytes thereof) is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2.

Concatenate two strings.

The

strncat()

function is similar to

strcat() , except that only the first n characters of src

are appended to dest.

Returns:

The

strncat()

function returns a pointer to the resulting string dest.

5.20.3.21

int strncmp (const char ∗ s1, const char ∗ s2, size_t len)

Compare two strings.

The

strncmp()

function is similar to

strcmp() , except it only compares the first (at most)

n characters of s1 and s2.

Returns:

The

strncmp()

function returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 (or the first n bytes thereof) is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2.

5.20.3.22

char ∗ strncpy (char ∗ dest, const char ∗ src, size_t len)

Copy a string.

The

strncpy()

function is similar to

strcpy() , except that not more than n bytes of src

are copied. Thus, if there is no null byte among the first n bytes of src, the result will not be null-terminated.

In the case where the length of src is less than that of n, the remainder of dest will be padded with nulls.

Returns:

The

strncpy()

function returns a pointer to the destination string dest.

5.20.3.23

size_t strnlen (const char ∗ src, size_t len)

Determine the length of a fixed-size string.

The strnlen function returns the number of characters in the string pointed to by src, not including the terminating ’\0’ character, but at most len. In doing this, strnlen looks only at the first len characters at src and never beyond src+len.

Returns:

The strnlen function returns strlen(src), if that is less than len, or len if there is no

’\0’ character among the first len characters pointed to by src.

char ∗ strrchr (const char ∗ src, int val)

Locate character in string.

The

strrchr()

function returns a pointer to the last occurrence of the character val in the string src.

Here "character" means "byte" - these functions do not work with wide or multi-byte characters.

Returns:

The

strrchr()

function returns a pointer to the matched character or NULL if the character is not found.

5.20.3.25

char ∗ strrev (char ∗ string)

Reverse a string.

The

strrev()

function reverses the order of the string.

Returns:

The

strrev()

function returns a pointer to the beginning of the reversed string.

5.20.3.26

char ∗ strsep (char ∗∗ string, const char ∗ delim)

Parse a string into tokens.

The

strsep()

function locates, in the string referenced by ∗string, the first occurrence of any character in the string delim (or the terminating ’\0’ character) and replaces it with a ’\0’. The location of the next character after the delimiter character (or NULL, if the end of the string was reached) is stored in ∗string. An “empty” field, i.e. one caused by two adjacent delimiter characters, can be detected by comparing the location referenced by the pointer returned in ∗string to ’\0’.

Returns:

The

strtok_r()

function returns a pointer to the original value of ∗string. If ∗stringp is initially NULL,

strsep()

returns NULL.

5.20.3.27

char ∗ strstr (const char ∗ s1, const char ∗ s2)

char ∗ strtok_r (char ∗ string, const char ∗ delim, char ∗∗ last)

Parses the string s into tokens.

strtok_r parses the string s into tokens. The first call to strtok_r should have string as its first argument. Subsequent calls should have the first argument set to NULL. If a token ends with a delimiter, this delimiting character is overwritten with a ’\0’ and a pointer to the next character is saved for the next call to strtok_r. The delimiter string delim may be different for each call. last is a user allocated char∗ pointer. It must be the same while parsing the same string. strtok_r is a reentrant version of strtok().

Returns:

The

strtok_r()

function returns a pointer to the next token or NULL when no more tokens are found.

Note:

As an alternative method, it is possible to pass the F_CPU macro down to the compiler from the Makefile. Obviously, in that case, no #define statement should be used.

The functions in this header file implement simple delay loops that perform a busywaiting. They are typically used to facilitate short delays in the program execution.

5.22

<util/delay.h>: Busy-wait delay loops 112

They are implemented as count-down loops with a well-known CPU cycle count per loop iteration. As such, no other processing can occur simultaneously. It should be kept in mind that the functions described here do not disable interrupts.

In general, for long delays, the use of hardware timers is much preferrable, as they free the CPU, and allow for concurrent processing of other events while the timer is running. However, in particular for very short delays, the overhead of setting up a hardware timer is too much compared to the overall delay time.

Two inline functions are provided for the actual delay algorithms.

Two wrapper functions allow the specification of microsecond, and millisecond delays directly, using the application-supplied macro F_CPU as the CPU clock frequency (in

Hertz). These functions operate on double typed arguments, however when optimization is turned on, the entire floating-point calculation will be done at compile-time.

Note:

When using

_delay_us()

and

_delay_ms() , the expressions passed as arguments to

these functions shall be compile-time constants, otherwise the floating-point calculations to setup the loops will be done at run-time, thereby drastically increasing both the resulting code size, as well as the time required to setup the loops.

5.22.2.1

void _delay_loop_1 ( uint8_t

__count)

Delay loop using an 8-bit counter __count, so up to 256 iterations are possible. (The value 256 would have to be passed as 0.) The loop executes three CPU cycles per iteration, not including the overhead the compiler needs to setup the counter register.

Thus, at a CPU speed of 1 MHz, delays of up to 768 microseconds can be achieved.

5.22.2.2

void _delay_loop_2 ( uint16_t

__count)

Delay loop using a 16-bit counter __count, so up to 65536 iterations are possible.

(The value 65536 would have to be passed as 0.) The loop executes four CPU cycles per iteration, not including the overhead the compiler requires to setup the counter register pair.

Thus, at a CPU speed of 1 MHz, delays of up to about 262.1 milliseconds can be achieved.

Detailed Description

Note:

This discussion of interrupts was originally taken from Rich Neswold’s document.

See

Acknowledgments .

Introduction to avr-libc’s interrupt handling It’s nearly impossible to find compilers that agree on how to handle interrupt code. Since the C language tries to stay away from machine dependent details, each compiler writer is forced to design their method of support.

In the AVR-GCC environment, the vector table is predefined to point to interrupt routines with predetermined names. By using the appropriate name, your routine will be called when the corresponding interrupt occurs. The device library provides a set of default interrupt routines, which will get used if you don’t define your own.

Patching into the vector table is only one part of the problem. The compiler uses, by convention, a set of registers when it’s normally executing compiler-generated code.

It’s important that these registers, as well as the status register, get saved and restored.

The extra code needed to do this is enabled by tagging the interrupt function with __attribute__((signal)) .

register and mark the routine as an interrupt handler for the specified peripheral. The following is an example definition of a handler for the ADC interrupt.

#include <avr/interrupt.h>

ISR(ADC_vect)

{

// user code here

}

Refer to the chapter explaining

assembler programming

for an explanation about interrupt routines written solely in assembler language.

Catch-all interrupt vector If an unexpected interrupt occurs (interrupt is enabled and no handler is installed, which usually indicates a bug), then the default action is to reset the device by jumping to the reset vector. You can override this by supplying a function named __vector_default which should be defined with

ISR()

as such.

#include <avr/interrupt.h>

ISR(__vector_default)

{

// user code here

}

Nested interrupts The AVR hardware clears the global interrupt flag in SREG before entering an interrupt vector. Thus, normally interrupts will remain disabled inside the handler until the handler exits, where the RETI instruction (that is emitted by the compiler as part of the normal function epilogue for an interrupt handler) will eventually re-enable further interrupts. For that reason, interrupt handlers normally do not nest. For most interrupt handlers, this is the desired behaviour, for some it is even required in order to prevent infinitely recursive interrupts (like UART interrupts, or level-triggered external interrupts). In rare circumstances though it might be desired to re-enable the global interrupt flag as early as possible in the interrupt handler, in order to not defer any other interrupt more than absolutely needed. This could be done using an sei() instruction right at the beginning of the interrupt handler, but this still leaves few instructions inside the compiler-generated function prologue to run with global interrupts disabled. The compiler can be instructed to insert an SEI instruction right at the beginning of an interrupt handler by declaring the handler the following way: void XXX_vect(void) __attribute__((interrupt)); void XXX_vect(void) {

...

}

<avr/interrupt.h>: Interrupts 120 where XXX_vect is the name of a valid interrupt vector for the MCU type in question, as explained below.

Chosing the vector: Interrupt vector names The interrupt is chosen by supplying one of the symbols in following table.

There are currently two different styles present for naming the vectors. One form uses names starting with SIG_, followed by a relatively verbose but arbitrarily chosen name describing the interrupt vector. This has been the only available style in avr-libc up to version 1.2.x.

Starting with avr-libc version 1.4.0, a second style of interrupt vector names has been added, where a short phrase for the vector description is followed by _vect. The short phrase matches the vector name as described in the datasheet of the respective device (and in Atmel’s XML files), with spaces replaced by an underscore and other non-alphanumeric characters dropped. Using the suffix _vect is intented to improve portability to other C compilers available for the AVR that use a similar naming convention.

The historical naming style might become deprecated in a future release, so it is not recommended for new projects.

Note:

The

ISR()

macro cannot really spell-check the argument passed to them. Thus, by misspelling one of the names below in a call to

ISR() , a function will be created

that, while possibly being usable as an interrupt function, is not actually wired into the interrupt vector table. The compiler will generate a warning if it detects a suspiciously looking name of a

ISR()

function (i.e. one that after macro replacement does not start with "__vector_").

Detailed Description

When working with microcontrollers, many of the tasks usually consist of controlling the peripherals that are connected to the device, respectively programming the subsystems that are contained in the controller (which by itself communicate with the circuitry connected to the controller).

The AVR series of microcontrollers offers two different paradigms to perform this task.

There’s a separate IO address space available (as it is known from some high-level

CISC CPUs) that can be addressed with specific IO instructions that are applicable to some or all of the IO address space (in, out, sbi etc.). The entire IO address space is also made available as memory-mapped IO, i. e. it can be accessed using all the

MCU instructions that are applicable to normal data memory. The IO register space is mapped into the data memory address space with an offset of 0x20 since the bottom of this space is reserved for direct access to the MCU registers. (Actual SRAM is available only behind the IO register area, starting at either address 0x60, or 0x100 depending on the device.)

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

5.26

<avr/sfr_defs.h>: Special function registers 133

AVR Libc supports both these paradigms. While by default, the implementation uses memory-mapped IO access, this is hidden from the programmer. So the programmer can access IO registers either with a special function like outb():

#include <avr/io.h> outb(PORTA, 0x33); or they can assign a value directly to the symbolic address:

PORTA = 0x33;

The compiler’s choice of which method to use when actually accessing the IO port is completely independent of the way the programmer chooses to write the code. So even if the programmer uses the memory-mapped paradigm and writes

PORTA |= 0x40; the compiler can optimize this into the use of an sbi instruction (of course, provided the target address is within the allowable range for this instruction, and the right-hand side of the expression is a constant value known at compile-time).

The advantage of using the memory-mapped paradigm in C programs is that it makes the programs more portable to other C compilers for the AVR platform. Some people might also feel that this is more readable. For example, the following two statements would be equivalent: outb(DDRD, inb(DDRD) & ~LCDBITS);

DDRD &= ~LCDBITS;

The generated code is identical for both. Without optimization, the compiler strictly generates code following the memory-mapped paradigm, while with optimization turned on, code is generated using the (faster and smaller) in/out MCU instructions.

Note that special care must be taken when accessing some of the 16-bit timer IO registers where access from both the main program and within an interrupt context can happen. See

Why do some 16-bit timer registers sometimes get trashed?

.

Porting programs that use sbi/cbi

As described above, access to the AVR single bit set and clear instructions are provided via the standard C bit manipulation commands. The sbi and cbi commands are no longer directly supported. sbi (sfr,bit) can be replaced by sfr |=

_BV(bit)

.

ie:

sbi(PORTB, PB1) ; is now PORTB |=

_BV(PB1) ;

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

5.26

<avr/sfr_defs.h>: Special function registers 134

This actually is more flexible than having sbi directly, as the optimizer will use a hardware sbi if appropriate, or a read/or/write if not. You do not need to keep track of which registers sbi/cbi will operate on.

Likewise, cbi (sfr,bit) is now sfr &= ∼( _BV(bit) );

The bit shift is performed by the compiler which then inserts the result into the code. Thus, there is no run-time overhead when using

_BV() .

Demo projects

5.27.1

Detailed Description

Various small demo projects are provided to illustrate several aspects of using the opensource utilities for the AVR controller series. It should be kept in mind that these demos serve mainly educational purposes, and are normally not directly suitable for use in any production environment. Usually, they have been kept as simple as sufficient to demonstrate one particular feature.

The

simple project

is somewhat like the "Hello world!" application for a microcontroller, about the most simple project that can be done. It is explained in good detail, to allow the reader to understand the basic concepts behind using the tools on an AVR microcontroller.

The

Example using the two-wire interface (TWI)

project explains the use of the twowire hardware interface (also known as "I2C") that is present on many AVR controllers.

A simple project

At this point, you should have the GNU tools configured, built, and installed on your system. In this chapter, we present a simple example of using the GNU tools in an AVR project. After reading this chapter, you should have a better feel as to how the tools are used and how a Makefile can be configured.

5.28.1

The Project

This project will use the pulse-width modulator (PWM) to ramp an LED on and off every two seconds. An AT90S2313 processor will be used as the controller. The circuit for this demonstration is shown in the

schematic diagram . If you have a development kit,

you should be able to use it, rather than build the circuit, for this project.

Note:

Meanwhile, the AT90S2313 became obsolete. Either use its successor, the (pincompatible) ATtiny2313 for the project, or perhaps the ATmega8 or one of its successors (ATmega48/88/168) which have become quite popular since the original demo project had been established. For all these more modern devices, it is no longer necessary to use an external crystal for clocking as they ship with the internal 1 MHz oscillator enabled, so C1, C2, and Q1 can be omitted. Normally, for this experiment, the external circuitry on /RESET (R1, C3) can be omitted as well, leaving only the AVR, the LED, the bypass capacitor C4, and perhaps R2.

For the ATmega8/48/88/168, use PB1 (pin 15 at the DIP-28 package) to connect the LED to.

Note [1]:

The PWM is being used in 10-bit mode, so we need a 16-bit variable to remember the current value.

Note [2]:

ISR()

is a macro that marks the function as an interrupt routine. In this case, the function will get called when the timer overflows. Setting up interrupts is explained in greater detail in

<avr/interrupt.h>: Interrupts .

Note [3]:

This section determines the new value of the PWM.

Note [4]:

Here’s where the newly computed value is loaded into the PWM register. Since we are in an interrupt routine, it is safe to use a 16-bit assignment to the register.

Outside of an interrupt, the assignment should only be performed with interrupts disabled if there’s a chance that an interrupt routine could also access this register

(or another register that uses TEMP), see the appropriate

FAQ entry .

Note [5]:

This routine gets called after a reset. It initializes the PWM and enables interrupts.

Note [6]:

The main loop of the program does nothing – all the work is done by the interrupt routine! If this was a real product, we’d probably put a SLEEP instruction in this loop to conserve power.

Note [7]:

Early AVR devices saturate their outputs at rather low currents when sourcing current, so the LED can be connected directly, the resulting current through the LED will be about 15 mA. For modern parts (at least for the ATmega 128), however

Atmel has drastically increased the IO source capability, so when operating at 5

V Vcc, R2 is needed. Its value should be about 150 Ohms. When operating the circuit at 3 V, it can still be omitted though.

5.28.3

Compiling and Linking

This first thing that needs to be done is compile the source. When compiling, the compiler needs to know the processor type so the -mmcu option is specified. The

-Os option will tell the compiler to optimize the code for efficient space usage (at the possible expense of code execution speed). The -g is used to embed debug info. The debug info is useful for disassemblies and doesn’t end up in the .hex files, so I usually specify it. Finally, the -c tells the compiler to compile and stop – don’t link. This demo is small enough that we could compile and link in one step. However, real-world projects will have several modules and will typically need to break up the building of the project into several compiles and one link.

$ avr-gcc -g -Os -mmcu=at90s2333 -c demo.c

The compilation will create a demo.o file. Next we link it into a binary called demo.elf

.

$ avr-gcc -g -mmcu=at90s2333 -o demo.elf demo.o

It is important to specify the MCU type when linking. The compiler uses the -mmcu option to choose start-up files and run-time libraries that get linked together. If this option isn’t specified, the compiler defaults to the 8515 processor environment, which is most certainly what you didn’t want.

5.28.4

Examining the Object File

Now we have a binary file. Can we do anything useful with it (besides put it into the processor?) The GNU Binutils suite is made up of many useful tools for manipulating object files that get generated. One tool is avr-objdump, which takes information from the object file and displays it in many useful ways. Typing the command by itself will cause it to list out its options.

For instance, to get a feel of the application’s size, the -h option can be used. The output of this option shows how much space is used in each of the sections (the .stab

and .stabstr sections hold the debugging information and won’t make it into the ROM file).

An even more useful option is -S. This option disassembles the binary file and intersperses the source code in the output! This method is much better, in my opinion, than using the -S with the compiler because this listing includes routines from the libraries and the vector table contents. Also, all the "fix-ups" have been satisfied. In other words, the listing generated by this option reflects the actual code that the processor will run.

$ avr-objdump -h -S demo.elf > demo.lst

Here’s the output as saved in the demo.lst file:

Linker Map Files avr-objdump is very useful, but sometimes it’s necessary to see information about the link that can only be generated by the linker. A map file contains this information.

A map file is useful for monitoring the sizes of your code and data. It also shows where modules are loaded and which modules were loaded from libraries. It is yet another view of your application. To get a map file, I usually add -Wl,-Map,demo.map to my link command. Relink the application using the following command to generate demo.map

(a portion of which is shown below).

$ avr-gcc -g -mmcu=at90s2313 -Wl,-Map,demo.map -o demo.elf demo.o

The last address in the .text segment is location 0xf2 ( denoted by _etext ), so the instructions use up 242 bytes of FLASH.

The .data segment (where initialized static variables are stored) starts at location 0x60, which is the first address after the register bank on a 2313 processor.

The next available address in the .data segment is also location 0x60, so the application has no initialized data.

The .bss segment (where uninitialized data is stored) starts at location 0x60.

The next available address in the .bss segment is location 0x63, so the application uses

3 bytes of uninitialized data.

The .eeprom segment (where EEPROM variables are stored) starts at location 0x0.

The next available address in the .eeprom segment is also location 0x0, so there aren’t any EEPROM variables.

Intel Hex Files

We have a binary of the application, but how do we get it into the processor? Most (if not all) programmers will not accept a GNU executable as an input file, so we need to do a little more processing. The next step is to extract portions of the binary and save the information into .hex files. The GNU utility that does this is called avr-objcopy.

The ROM contents can be pulled from our project’s binary and put into the file demo.hex using the following command:

$ avr-objcopy -j .text -j .data -O ihex demo.elf demo.hex

The resulting demo.hex file contains:

:1000000012C06DC06CC06BC06AC069C068C067C0F8

:00000001FF

The -j option indicates that we want the information from the .text and .data segment extracted. If we specify the EEPROM segment, we can generate a .hex file that can be used to program the EEPROM:

$ avr-objcopy -j .eeprom --change-section-lma .eeprom=0 -O ihex demo.elf demo_eeprom.hex

The resulting demo_eeprom.hex file contains:

:00000001FF which is an empty .hex file (which is expected, since we didn’t define any EEPROM variables).

Rather than type these commands over and over, they can all be placed in a make file.

To build the demo project using make, save the following in a file called Makefile.

Example using the two-wire interface (TWI)

Some newer devices of the ATmega series contain builtin support for interfacing the microcontroller to a two-wire bus, called TWI. This is essentially the same called I2C by Philips, but that term is avoided in Atmel’s documentation due to patenting issues.

For the original Philips documentation, see http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/buses/i2c/index.html

5.29.1

Introduction into TWI

The two-wire interface consists of two signal lines named SDA (serial data) and SCL

(serial clock) (plus a ground line, of course). All devices participating in the bus are connected together, using open-drain driver circuitry, so the wires must be terminated using appropriate pullup resistors. The pullups must be small enough to recharge the line capacity in short enough time compared to the desired maximal clock frequency, yet large enough so all drivers will not be overloaded. There are formulas in the datasheet that help selecting the pullups.

Devices can either act as a master to the bus (i. e., they initiate a transfer), or as a slave (they only act when being called by a master). The bus is multi-master capable, and a particular device implementation can act as either master or slave at different times. Devices are addressed using a 7-bit address (coordinated by Philips) transfered as the first byte after the so-called start condition. The LSB of that byte is R/∼W, i. e.

it determines whether the request to the slave is to read or write data during the next cycles. (There is also an option to have devices using 10-bit addresses but that is not covered by this example.)

5.29.2

The TWI example project

The ATmega TWI hardware supports both, master and slave operation. This example will only demonstrate how to use an AVR microcontroller as TWI master. The implementation is kept simple in order to concentrate on the steps that are required to talk to a TWI slave, so all processing is done in polled-mode, waiting for the TWI interface to

5.29

Example using the two-wire interface (TWI) 149 indicate that the next processing step is due (by setting the TWINT interrupt bit). If it is desired to have the entire TWI communication happen in "background", all this can be implemented in an interrupt-controlled way, where only the start condition needs to be triggered from outside the interrupt routine.

There is a variety of slave devices available that can be connected to a TWI bus. For the purpose of this example, an EEPROM device out of the industry-standard 24Cxx series has been chosen (where xx can be one of 01, 02, 04, 08, or 16) which are available from various vendors. The choice was almost arbitrary, mainly triggered by the fact that an

EEPROM device is being talked to in both directions, reading and writing the slave device, so the example will demonstrate the details of both.

Usually, there is probably not much need to add more EEPROM to an ATmega system that way: the smallest possible AVR device that offers hardware TWI support is the

ATmega8 which comes with 512 bytes of EEPROM, which is equivalent to an 24C04 device. The ATmega128 already comes with twice as much EEPROM as the 24C16 would offer. One exception might be to use an externally connected EEPROM device that is removable; e. g. SDRAM PC memory comes with an integrated TWI EEPROM that carries the RAM configuration information.

The header file <util/twi.h> contains some macro definitions for symbolic constants used in the TWI status register. These definitions match the names used in the

Note [2]

The clock is used in timer calculations done by the compiler, for the UART baud rate and the TWI clock rate.

Note [3]

The address assigned for the 24Cxx EEPROM consists of 1010 in the upper four bits.

The following three bits are normally available as slave sub-addresses, allowing to operate more than one device of the same type on a single bus, where the actual subaddress used for each device is configured by hardware strapping. However, since the next data packet following the device selection only allows for 8 bits that are used as an EEPROM address, devices that require more than 8 address bits (24C04 and above)

Example using the two-wire interface (TWI) 159

"steal" subaddress bits and use them for the EEPROM cell address bits 9 to 11 as required. This example simply assumes all subaddress bits are 0 for the smaller devices, so the E0, E1, and E2 inputs of the 24Cxx must be grounded.

Note [4]

For slow clocks, enable the 2 x U[S]ART clock multiplier, to improve the baud rate error. This will allow a 9600 Bd communication using the standard 1 MHz calibrated

RC oscillator. See also the Baud rate tables in the datasheets.

Note [5]

The datasheet explains why a minimum TWBR value of 10 should be maintained when running in master mode. Thus, for system clocks below 3.6 MHz, we cannot run the bus at the intented clock rate of 100 kHz but have to slow down accordingly.

Note [6]

This function is used by the standard output facilities that are utilized in this example for debugging and demonstration purposes.

Note [7]

In order to shorten the data to be sent over the TWI bus, the 24Cxx EEPROMs support multiple data bytes transfered within a single request, maintaining an internal address counter that is updated after each data byte transfered successfully. When reading data, one request can read the entire device memory if desired (the counter would wrap around and start back from 0 when reaching the end of the device).

Note [8]

When reading the EEPROM, a first device selection must be made with write intent

(R/∼W bit set to 0 indicating a write operation) in order to transfer the EEPROM address to start reading from. This is called master transmitter mode. Each completion of a particular step in TWI communication is indicated by an asserted TWINT bit in

TWCR. (An interrupt would be generated if allowed.) After performing any actions that are needed for the next communication step, the interrupt condition must be manually cleared by setting the TWINT bit. Unlike with many other interrupt sources, this would even be required when using a true interrupt routine, since as soon as TWINT is re-asserted, the next bus transaction will start.

Note [9]

160

Since the TWI bus is multi-master capable, there is potential for a bus contention when one master starts to access the bus. Normally, the TWI bus interface unit will detect this situation, and will not initiate a start condition while the bus is busy. However, in case two masters were starting at exactly the same time, the way bus arbitration works, there is always a chance that one master could lose arbitration of the bus during any transmit operation. A master that has lost arbitration is required by the protocol to immediately cease talking on the bus; in particular it must not initiate a stop condition in order to not corrupt the ongoing transfer from the active master. In this example, upon detecting a lost arbitration condition, the entire transfer is going to be restarted. This will cause a new start condition to be initiated, which will normally be delayed until the currently active master has released the bus.

Note [10]

Next, the device slave is going to be reselected (using a so-called repeated start condition which is meant to guarantee that the bus arbitration will remain at the current master) using the same slave address (SLA), but this time with read intent (R/∼W bit set to 1) in order to request the device slave to start transfering data from the slave to the master in the next packet.

Note [11]

If the EEPROM device is still busy writing one or more cells after a previous write request, it will simply leave its bus interface drivers at high impedance, and does not respond to a selection in any way at all. The master selecting the device will see the high level at SDA after transfering the SLA+R/W packet as a NACK to its selection request. Thus, the select process is simply started over (effectively causing a repeated start condition ), until the device will eventually respond. This polling procedure is recommended in the 24Cxx datasheet in order to minimize the busy wait time when writing. Note that in case a device is broken and never responds to a selection (e. g.

since it is no longer present at all), this will cause an infinite loop. Thus the maximal number of iterations made until the device is declared to be not responding at all, and an error is returned, will be limited to MAX_ITER.

Note [12]

This is called master receiver mode: the bus master still supplies the SCL clock, but the device slave drives the SDA line with the appropriate data. After 8 data bits, the master responds with an ACK bit (SDA driven low) in order to request another data transfer

Note [13]

The control word sent out in order to initiate the transfer of the next data packet is initially set up to assert the TWEA bit. During the last loop iteration, TWEA is deasserted so the client will get informed that no further transfer is desired.

Note [14]

Except in the case of lost arbitration, all bus transactions must properly be terminated by the master initiating a stop condition.

Note [15]

Writing to the EEPROM device is simpler than reading, since only a master transmitter mode transfer is needed. Note that the first packet after the SLA+W selection is always considered to be the EEPROM address for the next operation. (This packet is exactly the same as the one above sent before starting to read the device.) In case a master transmitter mode transfer is going to send more than one data packet, all following packets will be considered data bytes to write at the indicated address. The internal address pointer will be incremented after each write operation.

Note [16]

24Cxx devices can become write-protected by strapping their ∼WC pin to logic high.

(Leaving it unconnected is explicitly allowed, and constitutes logic low level, i. e. no write protection.) In case of a write protected device, all data transfer attempts will be

NACKed by the device. Note that some devices might not implement this.

Acknowledgments

This document tries to tie together the labors of a large group of people. Without these individuals’ efforts, we wouldn’t have a terrific, free set of tools to develop AVR projects. We all owe thanks to:

• The GCC Team, which produced a very capable set of development tools for an amazing number of platforms and processors.

• Denis Chertykov [ [email protected]

] for making the AVR-specific changes to the GNU tools.

• Denis Chertykov and Marek Michalkiewicz [ [email protected]

] for developing the standard libraries and startup code for AVR-GCC.

• Uros Platise for developing the AVR programmer tool, uisp.

• Joerg Wunsch [ [email protected]

] for adding all the AVR development tools to the FreeBSD [ http://www.freebsd.org

] ports tree and for providing the basics for the

demo project .

• Brian Dean [ [email protected]

] for developing avrdude (an alternative to uisp) and for contributing

documentation

which describes how to use it. Avrdude was previously called avrprog.

• Eric Weddington [ [email protected]

] for maintaining the WinAVR package and thus making the continued improvements to the Opensource AVR toolchain available to many users.

• Rich Neswold for writing the original avr-tools document (which he graciously allowed to be merged into this document) and his improvements to the

demo project .

• Theodore A. Roth for having been a long-time maintainer of many of the tools

(AVR-Libc, the AVR port of GDB, AVaRICE, uisp, avrdude).

• All the people who currently maintain the tools, and/or have submitted suggestions, patches and bug reports. (See the AUTHORS files of the various tools.)

• And lastly, all the users who use the software. If nobody used the software, we would probably not be very motivated to continue to develop it. Keep those bug reports coming. ;-)

7.2.1

Introduction

There might be several reasons to write code for AVR microcontrollers using plain assembler source code. Among them are:

• Code for devices that do not have RAM and are thus not supported by the C compiler.

• Code for very time-critical applications.

• Special tweaks that cannot be done in C.

Usually, all but the first could probably be done easily using the

inline assembler

facility of the compiler.

Although avr-libc is primarily targeted to support programming AVR microcontrollers using the C (and C++) language, there’s limited support for direct assembler usage as well. The benefits of it are:

• Use of the C preprocessor and thus the ability to use the same symbolic constants that are available to C programs, as well as a flexible macro concept that can use any valid C identifier as a macro (whereas the assembler’s macro concept is basically targeted to use a macro in place of an assembler instruction).

• Use of the runtime framework like automatically assigning interrupt vectors. For devices that have RAM,

initializing the RAM variables

can also be utilized.

7.2.2

Invoking the compiler

For the purpose described in this document, the assembler and linker are usually not invoked manually, but rather using the C compiler frontend (avr-gcc) that in turn will call the assembler and linker as required.

This approach has the following advantages:

• There is basically only one program to be called directly, avr-gcc, regardless of the actual source language used.

• The invokation of the C preprocessor will be automatic, and will include the appropriate options to locate required include files in the filesystem.

• The invokation of the linker will be automatic, and will include the appropriate options to locate additional libraries as well as the application start-up code

(crtXXX.o) and linker script.

avr-libc and assembler programs 165

Note that the invokation of the C preprocessor will be automatic when the filename provided for the assembler file ends in .S (the capital letter "s"). This would even apply to operating systems that use case-insensitive filesystems since the actual decision is made based on the case of the filename suffix given on the command-line, not based on the actual filename from the file system.

Alternatively, the language can explicitly be specified using the -x assembler-with-cpp option.

avr-libc and assembler programs 167

The assembler uses integer operations in the host-defined integer size (32 bits or longer) when evaluating expressions. This is in contrast to the C compiler that uses the C type int by default in order to calculate constant integer expressions.

In order to get a 100 kHz output, we need to toggle the PD6 line 200000 times per second. Since we use timer 0 without any prescaling options in order to get the desired frequency and accuracy, we already run into serious timing considerations: while accepting and processing the timer overflow interrupt, the timer already continues to count. When pre-loading the TCCNT0 register, we therefore have to account for the number of clock cycles required for interrupt acknowledge and for the instructions to reload TCCNT0 (4 clock cycles for interrupt acknowledge, 2 cycles for the jump from the interrupt vector, 2 cycles for the 2 instructions that reload TCCNT0). This is what the constant fuzz is for.

Note [5]

External functions need to be declared to be .global. main is the application entry point that will be jumped to from the ininitalization routine in crts1200.o.

Note [6]

The main loop is just a single jump back to itself. Square wave generation itself is completely handled by the timer 0 overflow interrupt service. A sleep instruction

(using idle mode) could be used as well, but probably would not conserve much energy anyway since the interrupt service is executed quite frequently.

Note [7]

Interrupt functions can get the

usual names

that are also available to C programs. The linker will then put them into the appropriate interrupt vector slots. Note that they must be declared .global in order to be acceptable for this purpose. This will only work if

<avr/io.h> has been included. Note that the assembler or linker have no chance to check the correct spelling of an interrupt function, so it should be double-checked.

(When analyzing the resulting object file using avr-objdump or avr-nm, a name like __vector_N should appear, with N being a small integer number.)

Note [8]

As explained in the section about

special function registers , the actual IO port address

should be obtained using the macro _SFR_IO_ADDR. (The AT90S1200 does not have

RAM thus the memory-mapped approach to access the IO registers is not available. It would be slower than using in / out instructions anyway.)

7.2

avr-libc and assembler programs 168

Since the operation to reload TCCNT0 is time-critical, it is even performed before saving SREG. Obviously, this requires that the instructions involved would not change any of the flag bits in SREG.

Note [9]

Interrupt routines must not clobber the global CPU state. Thus, it is usually necessary to save at least the state of the flag bits in SREG. (Note that this serves as an example here only since actually, all the following instructions would not modify SREG either, but that’s not commonly the case.)

Also, it must be made sure that registers used inside the interrupt routine do not conflict with those used outside. In the case of a RAM-less device like the AT90S1200, this can only be done by agreeing on a set of registers to be used exclusively inside the interrupt routine; there would not be any other chance to "save" a register anywhere.

If the interrupt routine is to be linked together with C modules, care must be taken to follow the

register usage guidelines

imposed by the C compiler. Also, any register modified inside the interrupt sevice needs to be saved, usually on the stack.

Note [10]

As explained in

Interrupts , a global "catch-all" interrupt handler that gets all unassigned

interrupt vectors can be installed using the name __vector_default. This must be .global, and obviously, should end in a reti instruction. (By default, a jump to location 0 would be implied instead.)

7.2.4

Pseudo-ops and operators

The available pseudo-ops in the assembler are described in the GNU assembler (gas) manual. The manual can be found online as part of the current binutils release under http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/.

As gas comes from a Unix origin, its pseudo-op and overall assembler syntax is slightly different than the one being used by other assemblers. Numeric constants follow the C notation (prefix 0x for hexadecimal constants), expressions use a C-like syntax.

Some common pseudo-ops include:

• .byte allocates single byte constants

• .ascii allocates a non-terminated string of characters

• .asciz allocates a \0-terminated string of characters (C string)

Frequently Asked Questions 169

• .data switches to the .data section (initialized RAM variables)

• .text switches to the .text section (code and ROM constants)

• .set declares a symbol as a constant expression (identical to .equ)

• .global (or .globl) declares a public symbol that is visible to the linker (e. g.

function entry point, global variable)

• .extern declares a symbol to be externally defined; this is effectively a comment only, as gas treats all undefined symbols it encounters as globally undefined anyway

Note that .org is available in gas as well, but is a fairly pointless pseudo-op in an assembler environment that uses relocatable object files, as it is the linker that determines the final position of some object in ROM or RAM.

Along with the architecture-independent standard operators, there are some AVRspecific operators available which are unfortunately not yet described in the official documentation. The most notable operators are:

• lo8 Takes the least significant 8 bits of a 16-bit integer

• hi8 Takes the most significant 8 bits of a 16-bit integer

• pm Takes a program-memory (ROM) address, and converts it into a RAM address. This implies a division by 2 as the AVR handles ROM addresses as 16-bit words (e.g. in an IJMP or ICALL instruction), and can also handle relocatable symbols on the right-hand side.

Example: ldi r24, lo8(pm(somefunc)) ldi r25, hi8(pm(somefunc)) call something

This passes the address of function somefunc as the first parameter to function something .

My program doesn’t recognize a variable updated within an interrupt routine

When using the optimizer, in a loop like the following one: uint8_t flag;

...

ISR(SOME_vect) { flag = 1;

}

...

while (flag == 0) {

...

} the compiler will typically access flag only once, and optimize further accesses completely away, since its code path analysis shows that nothing inside the loop could change the value of flag anyway. To tell the compiler that this variable could be changed outside the scope of its code path analysis (e. g. from within an interrupt routine), the variable needs to be declared like: volatile uint8_t flag;

7.3.3

I get "undefined reference to..." for functions like "sin()"

In order to access the mathematical functions that are declared in < math.h

>, the

linker needs to be told to also link the mathematical library, libm.a.

Typically, system libraries like libm.a are given to the final C compiler command line that performs the linking step by adding a flag -lm at the end. (That is, the initial lib and the filename suffix from the library are written immediately after a -l flag. So for a libfoo.a library, -lfoo needs to be provided.) This will make the linker search the library in a path known to the system.

An alternative would be to specify the full path to the libm.a file at the same place on the command line, i. e. after all the object files (∗.o). However, since this requires knowledge of where the build system will exactly find those library files, this is deprecated for system libraries.

7.3.5

How to modify MCUCR or WDTCR early?

The method of early initialization (MCUCR, WDTCR or anything else) is different (and more flexible) in the current version. Basically, write a small assembler file which looks like this:

;; begin xram.S

#include <avr/io.h>

.section .init1,"ax",@progbits ldi r16,_BV(SRE) | _BV(SRW) out _SFR_IO_ADDR(MCUCR),r16

;; end xram.S

Assemble it, link the resulting xram.o with other files in your program, and this piece of code will be inserted in initialization code, which is run right after reset. See the linker script for comments about the new .initN sections (which one to use, etc.).

The advantage of this method is that you can insert any initialization code you want

(just remember that this is very early startup – no stack and no __zero_reg__ yet), and no program memory space is wasted if this feature is not used.

There should be no need to modify linker scripts anymore, except for some very special cases. It is best to leave __stack at its default value (end of internal SRAM

– faster, and required on some devices like ATmega161 because of errata), and add

-Wl,-Tdata,0x801100 to start the data section above the stack.

For more information on using sections, see

Memory Sections . There is also an ex-

ample for

Using Sections in C Code . Note that in C code, any such function would

preferrably be placed into section .init3 as the code in .init2 ensures the internal register __zero_reg__ is already cleared.

Frequently Asked Questions 173 in some IO register. While the device documentation provides mnemonic names for the various bits in the IO registers, and the

AVR device-specific IO definitions

reflect these names in definitions for numerical constants, a way is needed to convert a bit number (usually within a byte register) into a byte value that can be assigned directly to the register. However, sometimes the direct bit numbers are needed as well (e. g. in an SBI() instruction), so the definitions cannot usefully be made as byte values in the first place.

So in order to access a particular bit number as a byte value, use the

_BV()

macro.

Of course, the implementation of this macro is just the usual bit shift (which is done by the compiler anyway, thus doesn’t impose any run-time penalty), so the following applies:

_BV(3) => 1 << 3 => 0x08

However, using the macro often makes the program better readable.

"BV" stands for "bit value", in case someone might ask you. :-)

Example: clock timer 2 with full IO clock (CS2x = 0b001), toggle OC2 output on compare match (COM2x = 0b01), and clear timer on compare match (CTC2 = 1). Make

OC2 (PD7) an output.

DDRD = _BV(PD7);

FAQ Index .

7.3.7

Can I use C++ on the AVR?

Basically yes, C++ is supported (assuming your compiler has been configured and compiled to support it, of course). Source files ending in .cc, .cpp or .C will automatically cause the compiler frontend to invoke the C++ compiler. Alternatively, the C++ compiler could be explicitly called by the name avr-c++.

However, there’s currently no support for libstdc++, the standard support library needed for a complete C++ implementation. This imposes a number of restrictions on the C++ programs that can be compiled. Among them are:

• Obviously, none of the C++ related standard functions, classes, and template classes are available.

• The operators new and delete are not implemented, attempting to use them will cause the linker to complain about undefined external references. (This could perhaps be fixed.)

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.3

Frequently Asked Questions 174

• Some of the supplied include files are not C++ safe, i. e. they need to be wrapped into extern "C" { . . . }

(This could certainly be fixed, too.)

• Exceptions are not supported. Since exceptions are enabled by default in the

C++ frontend, they explicitly need to be turned off using -fno-exceptions in the compiler options. Failing this, the linker will complain about an undefined external reference to __gxx_personality_sj0.

Constructors and destructors are supported though, including global ones.

When programming C++ in space- and runtime-sensitive environments like microcontrollers, extra care should be taken to avoid unwanted side effects of the C++ calling conventions like implied copy constructors that could be called upon function invocation etc. These things could easily add up into a considerable amount of time and program memory wasted. Thus, casual inspection of the generated assembler code

(using the -S compiler option) seems to be warranted.

Back to

FAQ Index .

7.3.8

Shouldn’t I initialize all my variables?

Global and static variables are guaranteed to be initialized to 0 by the C standard.

avr-gcc does this by placing the appropriate code into section .init4 (see

The .initN

Sections ). With respect to the standard, this sentence is somewhat simplified (because

the standard allows for machines where the actual bit pattern used differs from all bits being 0), but for the AVR target, in general, all integer-type variables are set to 0, all pointers to a NULL pointer, and all floating-point variables to 0.0.

As long as these variables are not initialized (i. e. they don’t have an equal sign and an initialization expression to the right within the definition of the variable), they go into the

.bss

section of the file. This section simply records the size of the variable, but otherwise doesn’t consume space, neither within the object file nor within flash memory. (Of course, being a variable, it will consume space in the target’s SRAM.)

In contrast, global and static variables that have an initializer go into the

.data

section of the file. This will cause them to consume space in the object file (in order to record the initializing value), and in the flash ROM of the target device. The latter is needed since the flash ROM is the only way that the compiler can tell the target device the value this variable is going to be initialized to.

Now if some programmer "wants to make doubly sure" their variables really get a 0 at program startup, and adds an initializer just containing 0 on the right-hand side, they waste space. While this waste of space applies to virtually any platform C is

Frequently Asked Questions 175 implemented on, it’s usually not noticeable on larger machines like PCs, while the waste of flash ROM storage can be very painful on a small microcontroller like the

AVR.

So in general, variables should only be explicitly initialized if the initial value is nonzero.

Note:

Recent versions of GCC are now smart enough to detect this situation, and revert variables that are explicitly initialized to 0 to the .bss section. Still, other compilers might not do that optimization, and as the C standard guarantees the initialization, it is safe to rely on it.

Back to

FAQ Index .

7.3.9

Why do some 16-bit timer registers sometimes get trashed?

Some of the timer-related 16-bit IO registers use a temporary register (called TEMP in the Atmel datasheet) to guarantee an atomic access to the register despite the fact that two separate 8-bit IO transfers are required to actually move the data. Typically, this includes access to the current timer/counter value register (TCNTn), the input capture register (ICRn), and write access to the output compare registers (OCRnM). Refer to the actual datasheet for each device’s set of registers that involves the TEMP register.

When accessing one of the registers that use TEMP from the main application, and possibly any other one from within an interrupt routine, care must be taken that no access from within an interrupt context could clobber the TEMP register data of an in-progress transaction that has just started elsewhere.

To protect interrupt routines against other interrupt routines, it’s usually best to use the

ISR()

macro when declaring the interrupt function, and to ensure that interrupts are still disabled when accessing those 16-bit timer registers.

Within the main program, access to those registers could be encapsulated in calls to the cli() and sei() macros. If the status of the global interrupt flag before accessing one of those registers is uncertain, something like the following example code can be used.

uint16_t read_timer1(void)

{ uint8_t sreg; uint16_t val; sreg = SREG; cli(); val = TCNT1;

SREG = sreg; return val;

}

7.3.10

How do I use a #define’d constant in an asm statement?

So you tried this: asm volatile("sbi 0x18,0x07;");

Which works. When you do the same thing but replace the address of the port by its macro name, like this: asm volatile("sbi PORTB,0x07;"); you get a compilation error: "Error: constant value required" .

PORTB is a precompiler definition included in the processor specific file included in avr/io .h. As you may know, the precompiler will not touch strings and PORTB, instead of 0x18, gets passed to the assembler. One way to avoid this problem is: asm volatile("sbi %0, 0x07" : "I" (_SFR_IO_ADDR(PORTB)):);

Note:

For C programs, rather use the standard C bit operators instead, so the above would be expressed as PORTB |= (1 << 7). The optimizer will take care to transform this into a single SBI instruction, assuming the operands allow for this.

7.3.11

Why does the PC randomly jump around when single-stepping through my program in avr-gdb?

When compiling a program with both optimization (-O) and debug information (-g) which is fortunately possible in avr-gcc, the code watched in the debugger is optimized code. While it is not guaranteed, very often this code runs with the exact same optimizations as it would run without the -g switch.

This can have unwanted side effects. Since the compiler is free to reorder code execution as long as the semantics do not change, code is often rearranged in order to make it possible to use a single branch instruction for conditional operations. Branch instructions can only cover a short range for the target PC (-63 through +64 words from the current PC). If a branch instruction cannot be used directly, the compiler needs to work around it by combining a skip instruction together with a relative jump (rjmp) instruction, which will need one additional word of ROM.

Another side effect of optimzation is that variable usage is restricted to the area of code where it is actually used. So if a variable was placed in a register at the beginning of

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.3

Frequently Asked Questions 177 some function, this same register can be re-used later on if the compiler notices that the first variable is no longer used inside that function, even though the variable is still in lexical scope. When trying to examine the variable in avr-gdb, the displayed result will then look garbled.

So in order to avoid these side effects, optimization can be turned off while debugging.

However, some of these optimizations might also have the side effect of uncovering bugs that would otherwise not be obvious, so it must be noted that turning off optimization can easily change the bug pattern. In most cases, you are better off leaving optimizations enabled while debugging.

7.3.12

How do I trace an assembler file in avr-gdb?

When using the -g compiler option, avr-gcc only generates line number and other debug information for C (and C++) files that pass the compiler. Functions that don’t have line number information will be completely skipped by a single step command in gdb. This includes functions linked from a standard library, but by default also functions defined in an assembler source file, since the -g compiler switch does not apply to the assembler.

So in order to debug an assembler input file (possibly one that has to be passed through the C preprocessor), it’s the assembler that needs to be told to include line-number information into the output file. (Other debug information like data types and variable allocation cannot be generated, since unlike a compiler, the assembler basically doesn’t know about this.) This is done using the (GNU) assembler option -gstabs.

Example:

$ avr-as -mmcu=atmega128 --gstabs -o foo.o foo.s

When the assembler is not called directly but through the C compiler frontend

(either implicitly by passing a source file ending in .S, or explicitly using -x assembler-with-cpp ), the compiler frontend needs to be told to pass the

-gstabs option down to the assembler. This is done using -Wa,-gstabs. Please take care to only pass this option when compiling an assembler input file. Otherwise, the assembler code that results from the C compilation stage will also get line number information, which confuses the debugger.

Note:

You can also use -Wa,-gstabs since the compiler will add the extra ’-’ for you.

Example:

$ EXTRA_OPTS="-Wall -mmcu=atmega128 -x assembler-with-cpp"

Also note that the debugger might get confused when entering a piece of code that has a non-local label before, since it then takes this label as the name of a new function that appears to have been entered. Thus, the best practice to avoid this confusion is to only use non-local labels when declaring a new function, and restrict anything else to local labels. Local labels consist just of a number only. References to these labels consist of the number, followed by the letter b for a backward reference, or f for a forward reference. These local labels may be re-used within the source file, references will pick the closest label with the same number and given direction.

How do I pass an IO port as a parameter to a function?

Consider this example code:

{ port |= mask;

} void

{

*port |= mask;

}

#define set_bits_macro(port,mask) ((port) |= (mask)) int main (void)

{ set_bits_func_wrong (PORTB, 0xaa); set_bits_func_correct (&PORTB, 0x55); set_bits_macro (PORTB, 0xf0); return (0);

}

The first function will generate object code which is not even close to what is intended.

The major problem arises when the function is called. When the compiler sees this call, it will actually pass the value of the PORTB register (using an IN instruction), instead of passing the address of PORTB (e.g. memory mapped io addr of 0x38, io port 0x18 for the mega128). This is seen clearly when looking at the disassembly of the call: set_bits_func_wrong (PORTB, 0xaa);

10a: 6a ea ldi r22, 0xAA

10c:

10e:

88 b3

0e 94 65 00 in call r24, 0x18

0xca

; 170

; 24

So, the function, once called, only sees the value of the port register and knows nothing about which port it came from. At this point, whatever object code is generated for the function by the compiler is irrelevant. The interested reader can examine the full disassembly to see that the function’s body is completely fubar.

The second function shows how to pass (by reference) the memory mapped address of the io port to the function so that you can read and write to it in the function. Here’s the object code generated for the function call: set_bits_func_correct (&PORTB, 0x55);

112: 65 e5 ldi r22, 0x55

; 56

You can clearly see that 0x0038 is correctly passed for the address of the io port.

Looking at the disassembled object code for the body of the function, we can see that the function is indeed performing the operation we intended: void set_bits_func_correct (volatile uint8_t *port, uint8_t mask)

{ f8: fc 01 movw r30, r24

Notice that we are accessing the io port via the LD and ST instructions.

The port parameter must be volatile to avoid a compiler warning.

Note:

Because of the nature of the IN and OUT assembly instructions, they can not be used inside the function when passing the port in this way. Readers interested in the details should consult the Instruction Set data sheet.

Finally we come to the macro version of the operation. In this contrived example, the macro is the most efficient method with respect to both execution speed and code size: set_bits_macro (PORTB, 0xf0);

Of course, in a real application, you might be doing a lot more in your function which uses a passed by reference io port address and thus the use of a function over a macro could save you some code space, but still at a cost of execution speed.

Care should be taken when such an indirect port access is going to one of the 16-bit

IO registers where the order of write access is critical (like some timer registers). All versions of avr-gcc up to 3.3 will generate instructions that use the wrong access order in this situation (since with normal memory operands where the order doesn’t matter, this sometimes yields shorter code).

See http://mail.nongnu.org/archive/html/avr-libc-dev/2003-01/msg00044.html

for a possible workaround.

avr-gcc versions after 3.3 have been fixed in a way where this optimization will be disabled if the respective pointer variable is declared to be volatile, so the correct behaviour for 16-bit IO ports can be forced that way.

ROM). There is a -mint8 option (see

Options for the C compiler avr-gcc ) to

make int 8 bits, but that is not supported by avr-libc and violates C standards

(int must be at least 16 bits). It may be removed in a future release.

• Call-used registers (r18-r27, r30-r31):

May be allocated by gcc for local data. You may use them freely in assembler subroutines. Calling C subroutines can clobber any of them - the caller is responsible for saving and restoring.

• Call-saved registers (r2-r17, r28-r29):

May be allocated by gcc for local data. Calling C subroutines leaves them unchanged. Assembler subroutines are responsible for saving and restoring these registers, if changed. r29:r28 (Y pointer) is used as a frame pointer (points to local data on stack) if necessary.

• Fixed registers (r0, r1):

Never allocated by gcc for local data, but often used for fixed purposes: r0 - temporary register, can be clobbered by any C code (except interrupt handlers which save it), may be used to remember something for a while within one piece of assembler code r1 - assumed to be always zero in any C code, may be used to remember something for a while within one piece of assembler code, but must then be cleared after use (clr r1 ). This includes any use of the [f]mul[s[u]] instructions, which return their result in r1:r0. Interrupt handlers save and clear r1 on entry, and restore r1 on exit (in case it was non-zero).

• Function call conventions:

Arguments - allocated left to right, r25 to r8. All arguments are aligned to start in even-numbered registers (odd-sized arguments, including char, have one free register above them). This allows making better use of the movw instruction on the enhanced core.

If too many, those that don’t fit are passed on the stack.

Return values: 8-bit in r24 (not r25!), 16-bit in r25:r24, up to 32 bits in r22-r25, up to

64 bits in r18-r25. 8-bit return values are zero/sign-extended to 16 bits by the caller

(unsigned char is more efficient than signed char - just clr r25). Arguments to functions with variable argument lists (printf etc.) are all passed on stack, and char is extended to int.

Warning:

There was no such alignment before 2000-07-01, including the old patches for gcc-2.95.2. Check your old assembler subroutines, and adjust them accordingly.

How do I put an array of strings completely in ROM?

There are times when you may need an array of strings which will never be modified.

In this case, you don’t want to waste ram storing the constant strings. The most obvious

(and incorrect) thing to do is this:

#include <avr/pgmspace.h>

PGM_P array[2] PROGMEM = {

"Foo",

"Bar"

}; int main (void)

{ char buf[32]; strcpy_P (buf, array[1]); return 0;

}

The result is not want you want though. What you end up with is the array stored in

ROM, while the individual strings end up in RAM (in the .data section).

To work around this, you need to do something like this:

#include <avr/pgmspace.h> const char foo[] PROGMEM = "Foo"; const char bar[] PROGMEM = "Bar";

PGM_P array[2] PROGMEM = { foo, bar

}; int main (void)

{ char buf[32];

PGM_P p; int i; memcpy_P(&p, &array[i], sizeof(PGM_P)); strcpy_P(buf, p); return 0;

}

Looking at the disassembly of the resulting object file we see that array is in flash as such:

The value of i (in r22:r23) is doubled to accomodate for the word offset required to access array[], then the address of array (0x26) is added, by subtracting the negated address (0xffda).

This will finally copy the ROM string into the local buffer buf.

Variable p (located at Y+33) is read, and passed together with the address of buf (Y+1) to strcpy_P. This will copy the string from ROM to buf.

Note that when using a compile-time constant index, omitting the first step (reading the pointer from ROM via memcpy_P) usually remains unnoticed, since the compiler would then optimize the code for accessing array at compile-time.

7.3.16

How to use external RAM?

Well, there is no universal answer to this question; it depends on what the external

RAM is going to be used for.

Basically, the bit SRE (SRAM enable) in the MCUCR register needs to be set in order to enable the external memory interface. Depending on the device to be used, and the application details, further registers affecting the external memory operation like

XMCRA and XMCRB, and/or further bits in MCUCR might be configured. Refer to the datasheet for details.

If the external RAM is going to be used to store the variables from the C program

(i. e., the .data and/or .bss segment) in that memory area, it is essential to set up the external memory interface early during the

device initialization

so the initialization of these variable will take place. Refer to

How to modify MCUCR or WDTCR early?

for a description how to do this using few lines of assembler code, or to the chapter about memory sections for an

example written in C .

The explanation of

malloc()

contains a

discussion

about the use of internal RAM vs.

external RAM in particular with respect to the various possible locations of the heap

(area reserved for

malloc() ). It also explains the linker command-line options that are

required to move the memory regions away from their respective standard locations in internal RAM.

Finally, if the application simply wants to use the additional RAM for private data storage kept outside the domain of the C compiler (e. g. through a char ∗ variable initialized directly to a particular address), it would be sufficient to defer the initialization of the external RAM interface to the beginning of main(), so no tweaking of the

.init3 section is necessary. The same applies if only the heap is going to be located there, since the application start-up code does not affect the heap.

It is not recommended to locate the stack in external RAM. In general, accessing external RAM is slower than internal RAM, and errata of some AVR devices even prevent this configuration from working properly at all.

When comparing the resulting code size, it should be noted that a floating point version of fvprintf() was linked into the binary (in order to print out the time elapsed) which is entirely not affected by the different optimization levels, and added about 2.5 KB to the code.

How do I relocate code to a fixed address?

First, the code should be put into a new

named section . This is done with a section

attribute:

__attribute__ ((section (".bootloader")))

In this example, .bootloader is the name of the new section. This attribute needs to be placed after the prototype of any function to force the function into the new section.

void boot(void) __attribute__ ((section (".bootloader")));

To relocate the section to a fixed address the linker flag -section-start is used.

This option can be passed to the linker using the

-Wl compiler option :

-Wl,--section-start=.bootloader=0x1E000

The name after section-start is the name of the section to be relocated. The number after the section name is the beginning address of the named section.

7.3.19

My UART is generating nonsense! My ATmega128 keeps crashing! Port

F is completely broken!

Well, certain odd problems arise out of the situation that the AVR devices as shipped by Atmel often come with a default fuse bit configuration that doesn’t match the user’s expectations. Here is a list of things to care for:

• All devices that have an internal RC oscillator ship with the fuse enabled that causes the device to run off this oscillator, instead of an external crystal. This often remains unnoticed until the first attempt is made to use something critical in timing, like UART communication.

• The ATmega128 ships with the fuse enabled that turns this device into ATmega103 compatibility mode. This means that some ports are not fully usable, and in particular that the internal SRAM is located at lower addresses. Since by default, the stack is located at the top of internal SRAM, a program compiled for an ATmega128 running on such a device will immediately crash upon the first function call (or rather, upon the first function return).

• Devices with a JTAG interface have the JTAGEN fuse programmed by default.

This will make the respective port pins that are used for the JTAG interface unavailable for regular IO.

Back to

FAQ Index .

7.3.20

Why do all my "foo...bar" strings eat up the SRAM?

By default, all strings are handled as all other initialized variables: they occupy RAM

(even though the compiler might warn you when it detects write attempts to these RAM locations), and occupy the same amount of flash ROM so they can be initialized to the actual string by startup code. The compiler can optimize multiple identical strings into a single one, but obviously only for one compilation unit (i. e., a single C source file).

That way, any string literal will be a valid argument to any C function that expects a const char ∗ argument.

Of course, this is going to waste a lot of SRAM. In

Program Space String Utilities , a

method is described how such constant data can be moved out to flash ROM. However, a constant string located in flash ROM is no longer a valid argument to pass to a function that expects a const char ∗-type string, since the AVR processor needs the special instruction LPM to access these strings. Thus, separate functions are needed that take this into account. Many of the standard C library functions have equivalents available where one of the string arguments can be located in flash ROM. Private functions in the applications need to handle this, too. For example, the following can be used to implement simple debugging messages that will be sent through a UART:

Why does the compiler compile an 8-bit operation that uses bitwise operators into a 16-bit operation in assembly?

Bitwise operations in Standard C will automatically promote their operands to an int, which is (by default) 16 bits in avr-gcc.

To work around this use typecasts on the operands, including literals, to declare that the values are to be 8 bit operands.

This may be especially important when clearing a bit: var &= ~mask; /* wrong way! */

The bitwise "not" operator (∼) will also promote the value in mask to an int. To keep it an 8-bit value, typecast before the "not" operator:

How to detect RAM memory and variable overlap problems?

You can simply run avr-nm on your output (ELF) file. Run it with the -n option, and it will sort the symbols numerically (by default, they are sorted alphabetically).

Look for the symbol _end, that’s the first address in RAM that is not allocated by a variable. (avr-gcc internally adds 0x800000 to all data/bss variable addresses, so please ignore this offset.) Then, the run-time initialization code initializes the stack pointer (by default) to point to the last avaialable address in (internal) SRAM. Thus, the region between _end and the end of SRAM is what is available for stack. (If your application uses

malloc() , which e. g. also can happen inside

printf() , the heap for

dynamic memory is also located there. See

Using malloc() .)

The amount of stack required for your application cannot be determined that easily.

For example, if you recursively call a function and forget to break that recursion, the amount of stack required is infinite. :-) You can look at the generated assembler code

(avr-gcc ...

-S ), there’s a comment in each generated assembler file that tells you the frame size for each generated function. That’s the amount of stack required for this function, you have to add up that for all functions where you know that the calls could be nested.

Since all make decisions are based on file timestamps, and their dependencies, make warns about this situation.

Solution: don’t use inferior file systems / operating systems. Neither Unix file systems nor HPFS (aka NTFS) do experience that problem.

Workaround: after saving the file, wait a second before starting make. Or simply ignore the warning. If you are paranoid, execute a make clean all to make sure everything gets rebuilt.

In networked environments where the files are accessed from a file server, this message can also happen if the file server’s clock differs too much from the network client’s clock. In this case, the solution is to use a proper time keeping protocol on both systems, like NTP. As a workaround, synchronize the client’s clock frequently with the server’s clock.

7.3.25

Why are (many) interrupt flags cleared by writing a logical 1?

Usually, each interrupt has its own interrupt flag bit in some control register, indicating the specified interrupt condition has been met by representing a logical 1 in the respective bit position. When working with interrupt handlers, this interrupt flag bit usually gets cleared automatically in the course of processing the interrupt, sometimes by just calling the handler at all, sometimes (e. g. for the U[S]ART) by reading a particular hardware register that will normally happen anyway when processing the interrupt.

From the hardware’s point of view, an interrupt is asserted as long as the respective bit is set, while global interrupts are enabled. Thus, it is essential to have the bit cleared before interrupts get re-enabled again (which usually happens when returning from an interrupt handler).

Only few subsystems require an explicit action to clear the interrupt request when using interrupt handlers. (The notable exception is the TWI interface, where clearing the interrupt indicates to proceed with the TWI bus hardware handshake, so it’s never done automatically.)

However, if no normal interrupt handlers are to be used, or in order to make extra sure any pending interrupt gets cleared before re-activating global interrupts (e. g.

an external edge-triggered one), it can be necessary to explicitly clear the respective hardware interrupt bit by software. This is usually done by writing a logical 1 into this bit position. This seems to be illogical at first, the bit position already carries a logical

1 when reading it, so why does writing a logical 1 to it clear the interrupt bit?

The solution is simple: writing a logical 1 to it requires only a single OUT instruction, and it is clear that only this single interrupt request bit will be cleared. There is no need to perform a read-modify-write cycle (like, an SBI instruction), since all bits in these

The GNU C compiler for Atmel AVR RISC processors offers, to embed assembly language code into C programs. This cool feature may be used for manually optimizing time critical parts of the software or to use specific processor instruction, which are not available in the C language.

Because of a lack of documentation, especially for the AVR version of the compiler, it may take some time to figure out the implementation details by studying the compiler and assembler source code. There are also a few sample programs available in the net.

Hopefully this document will help to increase their number.

It’s assumed, that you are familiar with writing AVR assembler programs, because this is not an AVR assembler programming tutorial. It’s not a C language tutorial either.

This document describes version 3.3 of the compiler. There may be some parts, which hadn’t been completely understood by the author himself and not all samples had been tested so far. Because the author is German and not familiar with the English language, there are definitely some typos and syntax errors in the text. As a programmer the author knows, that a wrong documentation sometimes might be worse than none. Anyway, he decided to offer his little knowledge to the public, in the hope to get enough response to improve this document. Feel free to contact the author via e-mail.

7.4.1

GCC asm Statement

Let’s start with a simple example of reading a value from port D: asm("in %0, %1" : "=r" (value) : "I" (_SFR_IO_ADDR(PORTD)) );

Each asm statement is devided by colons into (up to) four parts:

1. The assembler instructions, defined as a single string constant:

"in %0, %1"

2. A list of output operands, separated by commas. Our example uses just one:

"=r" (value)

3. A comma separated list of input operands. Again our example uses one operand only:

"I" (_SFR_IO_ADDR(PORTD))

4. Clobbered registers, left empty in our example.

You can write assembler instructions in much the same way as you would write assembler programs. However, registers and constants are used in a different way if they refer to expressions of your C program. The connection between registers and C operands is specified in the second and third part of the asm instruction, the list of input and output operands, respectively. The general form is asm(code : output operand list : input operand list [: clobber list]);

In the code section, operands are referenced by a percent sign followed by a single digit.

0 refers to the first 1 to the second operand and so forth. From the above example:

0 refers to "=r" (value) and

1 refers to "I" (_SFR_IO_ADDR(PORTD)).

This may still look a little odd now, but the syntax of an operand list will be explained soon. Let us first examine the part of a compiler listing which may have been generated from our example: lds r24,value

/* #APP */ in r24, 12

/* #NOAPP */ sts value,r24

The comments have been added by the compiler to inform the assembler that the included code was not generated by the compilation of C statements, but by inline assembler statements. The compiler selected register r24 for storage of the value read from PORTD. The compiler could have selected any other register, though. It may not explicitely load or store the value and it may even decide not to include your assembler code at all. All these decisions are part of the compiler’s optimization strategy. For example, if you never use the variable value in the remaining part of the C program, the compiler will most likely remove your code unless you switched off optimization.

To avoid this, you can add the volatile attribute to the asm statement: asm volatile("in %0, %1" : "=r" (value) : "I" (_SFR_IO_ADDR(PORTD)));

The last part of the asm instruction, the clobber list, is mainly used to tell the compiler about modifications done by the assembler code. This part may be omitted, all other parts are required, but may be left empty. If your assembler routine won’t use any input or output operand, two colons must still follow the assembler code string. A good example is a simple statement to disable interrupts: asm volatile("cli"::);

7.4.2

Assembler Code

You can use the same assembler instruction mnemonics as you’d use with any other

AVR assembler. And you can write as many assembler statements into one code string as you like and your flash memory is able to hold.

Note:

The available assembler directives vary from one assembler to another.

To make it more readable, you should put each statement on a seperate line: asm volatile("nop\n\t"

"nop\n\t"

"nop\n\t"

"nop\n\t"

::);

The linefeed and tab characters will make the assembler listing generated by the compiler more readable. It may look a bit odd for the first time, but that’s the way the compiler creates it’s own assembler code.

You may also make use of some special registers.

__SREG__

__SP_H__

__zero_reg__

Register

Status register at address 0x3F

Stack pointer high byte at address 0x3E

Stack pointer low byte at address 0x3D

Register r0, used for temporary storage

Register r1, always zero

Register r0 may be freely used by your assembler code and need not be restored at the end of your code. It’s a good idea to use __tmp_reg__ and __zero_reg__ instead of r0 or r1, just in case a new compiler version changes the register usage definitions.

7.4.3

Input and Output Operands

Each input and output operand is described by a constraint string followed by a C expression in parantheses. AVR-GCC 3.3 knows the following constraint characters:

Note:

The most up-to-date and detailed information on contraints for the avr can be found in the gcc manual.

The x register is r27:r26, the y register is r29:r28, and the z register is r31:r30

These definitions seem not to fit properly to the AVR instruction set. The author’s assumption is, that this part of the compiler has never been really finished in this version, but that assumption may be wrong. The selection of the proper contraint depends on the range of the constants or registers, which must be acceptable to the AVR instruction they are used with. The C compiler doesn’t check any line of your assembler code. But it is able to check the constraint against your C expression. However, if you specify the wrong constraints, then the compiler may silently pass wrong code to the assembler. And, of course, the assembler will fail with some cryptic output or internal errors.

For example, if you specify the constraint "r" and you are using this register with an

"ori" instruction in your assembler code, then the compiler may select any register.

This will fail, if the compiler chooses r2 to r15. (It will never choose r0 or r1, because these are uses for special purposes.) That’s why the correct constraint in that case is "d". On the other hand, if you use the constraint "M", the compiler will make sure that you don’t pass anything else but an 8-bit value. Later on we will see how to pass multibyte expression results to the assembler code.

The following table shows all AVR assembler mnemonics which require operands, and the related contraints. Because of the improper constraint definitions in version 3.3, they aren’t strict enough. There is, for example, no constraint, which restricts integer

Inline Asm 196

Input operands are, you guessed it, read-only. But what if you need the same operand for input and output? As stated above, read-write operands are not supported in inline assembler code. But there is another solution. For input operators it is possible to use a single digit in the constraint string. Using digit n tells the compiler to use the same register as for the n-th operand, starting with zero. Here is an example: asm volatile("swap %0" : "=r" (value) : "0" (value));

This statement will swap the nibbles of an 8-bit variable named value. Constraint "0" tells the compiler, to use the same input register as for the first operand. Note however, that this doesn’t automatically imply the reverse case. The compiler may choose the same registers for input and output, even if not told to do so. This is not a problem in most cases, but may be fatal if the output operator is modified by the assembler code before the input operator is used. In the situation where your code depends on different registers used for input and output operands, you must add the & constraint modifier to your output operand. The following example demonstrates this problem: asm volatile("in %0,%1" "\n\t"

"out %1, %2" "\n\t"

: "=&r" (input)

: "I" (_SFR_IO_ADDR(port)), "r" (output)

);

In this example an input value is read from a port and then an output value is written to the same port. If the compiler would have choosen the same register for input and output, then the output value would have been destroyed on the first assembler instruction.

Fortunately, this example uses the & constraint modifier to instruct the compiler not to select any register for the output value, which is used for any of the input operands.

Back to swapping. Here is the code to swap high and low byte of a 16-bit value: asm volatile("mov __tmp_reg__, %A0" "\n\t"

"mov %A0, %B0" "\n\t"

"mov %B0, __tmp_reg__" "\n\t"

: "=r" (value)

: "0" (value)

);

First you will notice the usage of register __tmp_reg__, which we listed among other special registers in the

Assembler Code

section. You can use this register without saving its contents. Completely new are those letters A and B in %A0 and %B0. In fact they refer to two different 8-bit registers, both containing a part of value.

Another example to swap bytes of a 32-bit value: asm volatile("mov __tmp_reg__, %A0" "\n\t"

"mov %A0, %D0" "\n\t"

"mov %D0, __tmp_reg__" "\n\t"

"mov __tmp_reg__, %B0" "\n\t"

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.4

Inline Asm 197

"mov %B0, %C0" "\n\t"

"mov %C0, __tmp_reg__" "\n\t"

: "=r" (value)

: "0" (value)

);

If operands do not fit into a single register, the compiler will automatically assign enough registers to hold the entire operand. In the assembler code you use %A0 to refer to the lowest byte of the first operand, %A1 to the lowest byte of the second operand and so on. The next byte of the first operand will be %B0, the next byte %C0 and so on.

This also implies, that it is often neccessary to cast the type of an input operand to the desired size.

A final problem may arise while using pointer register pairs. If you define an input operand

"e" (ptr) and the compiler selects register Z (r30:r31), then

%A0 refers to r30 and

%B0 refers to r31.

But both versions will fail during the assembly stage of the compiler, if you explicitely need Z, like in ld r24,Z

If you write ld r24, %a0 with a lower case a following the percent sign, then the compiler will create the proper assembler line.

7.4.4

Clobbers

As stated previously, the last part of the asm statement, the list of clobbers, may be omitted, including the colon seperator. However, if you are using registers, which had not been passed as operands, you need to inform the compiler about this. The following example will do an atomic increment. It increments an 8-bit value pointed to by a pointer variable in one go, without being interrupted by an interrupt routine or another thread in a multithreaded environment. Note, that we must use a pointer, because the incremented value needs to be stored before interrupts are enabled.

: "r24"

);

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

The compiler might produce the following code: cli ld r24, Z inc r24 st Z, r24 sei

One easy solution to avoid clobbering register r24 is, to make use of the special temporary register __tmp_reg__ defined by the compiler.

asm volatile(

"cli"

"ld __tmp_reg__, %a0"

"inc __tmp_reg__"

"st %a0, __tmp_reg__"

"sei"

:

: "e" (ptr)

);

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

The compiler is prepared to reload this register next time it uses it. Another problem with the above code is, that it should not be called in code sections, where interrupts are disabled and should be kept disabled, because it will enable interrupts at the end.

We may store the current status, but then we need another register. Again we can solve this without clobbering a fixed, but let the compiler select it. This could be done with the help of a local C variable.

{ uint8_t s; asm volatile(

"in %0, __SREG__"

"cli"

"ld __tmp_reg__, %a1"

"inc __tmp_reg__"

Inline Asm 199

Now every thing seems correct, but it isn’t really. The assembler code modifies the variable, that ptr points to. The compiler will not recognize this and may keep its value in any of the other registers. Not only does the compiler work with the wrong value, but the assembler code does too. The C program may have modified the value too, but the compiler didn’t update the memory location for optimization reasons. The worst thing you can do in this case is:

{ uint8_t s; asm volatile(

"in %0, __SREG__"

"cli"

"ld __tmp_reg__, %a1"

"inc __tmp_reg__"

"st %a1, __tmp_reg__"

"out __SREG__, %0"

: "=&r" (s)

: "e" (ptr)

: "memory"

);

}

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

"\n\t"

The special clobber "memory" informs the compiler that the assembler code may modify any memory location. It forces the compiler to update all variables for which the contents are currently held in a register before executing the assembler code. And of course, everything has to be reloaded again after this code.

In most situations, a much better solution would be to declare the pointer destination itself volatile: volatile uint8_t *ptr;

This way, the compiler expects the value pointed to by ptr to be changed and will load it whenever used and store it whenever modified.

Situations in which you need clobbers are very rare. In most cases there will be better ways. Clobbered registers will force the compiler to store their values before and reload them after your assembler code. Avoiding clobbers gives the compiler more freedom while optimizing your code.

7.4.5

Assembler Macros

In order to reuse your assembler language parts, it is useful to define them as macros and put them into include files. AVR Libc comes with a bunch of them, which could be found in the directory avr/include. Using such include files may produce compiler warnings, if they are used in modules, which are compiled in strict ANSI mode. To avoid that, you can write __asm__ instead of asm and __volatile__ instead of volatile . These are equivalent aliases.

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.4

Inline Asm 200

Another problem with reused macros arises if you are using labels.

In such cases you may make use of the special pattern =, which is replaced by a unique number on each asm statement.

The following code had been taken from avr/include/iomacros.h

:

#define loop_until_bit_is_clear(port,bit) \

__asm__ __volatile__ ( \

"L_%=: " "sbic %0, %1" "\n\t"

"rjmp L_%="

\

\

: /* no outputs */ \

: "I" (_SFR_IO_ADDR(port)), \

"I" (bit) \

)

When used for the first time, L_%= may be translated to L_1404, the next usage might create L_1405 or whatever. In any case, the labels became unique too.

Another option is to use Unix-assembler style numeric labels. They are explained in

How do I trace an assembler file in avr-gdb?

. The above example would then look like:

#define loop_until_bit_is_clear(port,bit) \

__asm__ __volatile__ ( \

"1: " "sbic %0, %1" "\n\t"

"rjmp 1b"

\

\

: /* no outputs */ \

: "I" (_SFR_IO_ADDR(port)), \

"I" (bit) \

)

7.4.6

C Stub Functions

Macro definitions will include the same assembler code whenever they are referenced.

This may not be acceptable for larger routines. In this case you may define a C stub function, containing nothing other than your assembler code.

void delay(uint8_t ms)

{ uint16_t cnt; asm volatile (

"\n"

"L_dl1%=:" "\n\t"

"mov %A0, %A2" "\n\t"

"mov %B0, %B2" "\n"

"L_dl2%=:" "\n\t"

"brne L_dl2%=" "\n\t"

);

The purpose of this function is to delay the program execution by a specified number of milliseconds using a counting loop. The global 16 bit variable delay_count must contain the CPU clock frequency in Hertz divided by 4000 and must have been set before calling this routine for the first time. As described in the

clobber

section, the routine uses a local variable to hold a temporary value.

Another use for a local variable is a return value. The following function returns a 16 bit value read from two successive port addresses.

uint16_t inw(uint8_t port)

{ uint16_t result; asm volatile (

"in %A0,%1" "\n\t"

"in %B0,(%1) + 1"

: "=r" (result)

: "I" (_SFR_IO_ADDR(port))

); return result;

}

Note: inw() is supplied by avr-libc.

7.4.7

C Names Used in Assembler Code

By default AVR-GCC uses the same symbolic names of functions or variables in C and assembler code. You can specify a different name for the assembler code by using a special form of the asm statement: unsigned long value asm("clock") = 3686400;

This statement instructs the compiler to use the symbol name clock rather than value.

This makes sense only for external or static variables, because local variables do not have symbolic names in the assembler code. However, local variables may be held in registers.

With AVR-GCC you can specify the use of a specific register: void Count(void)

{ register unsigned char counter asm("r3");

... some code...

asm volatile("clr r3");

... more code...

}

The assembler instruction, "clr r3", will clear the variable counter. AVR-GCC will not completely reserve the specified register. If the optimizer recognizes that the variable will not be referenced any longer, the register may be re-used. But the compiler

7.5

Using malloc() 202 is not able to check wether this register usage conflicts with any predefined register. If you reserve too many registers in this way, the compiler may even run out of registers during code generation.

In order to change the name of a function, you need a prototype declaration, because the compiler will not accept the asm keyword in the function definition: extern long Calc(void) asm ("CALCULATE");

Calling the function Calc() will create assembler instructions to call the function

CALCULATE .

Introduction

On a simple device like a microcontroller, implementing dynamic memory allocation is quite a challenge.

Many of the devices that are possible targets of avr-libc have a minimal amount of

RAM. The smallest parts supported by the C environment come with 128 bytes of

RAM. This needs to be shared between initialized and uninitialized variables ( sections

.data and .bss), the dynamic memory allocator, and the stack that is used for calling subroutines and storing local (automatic) variables.

Also, unlike larger architectures, there is no hardware-supported memory management which could help in separating the mentioned RAM regions from being overwritten by each other.

The standard RAM layout is to place .data variables first, from the beginning of the internal RAM, followed by .bss. The stack is started from the top of internal RAM, growing downwards. The so-called "heap" available for the dynamic memory allocator will be placed beyond the end of .bss. Thus, there’s no risk that dynamic memory will ever collide with the RAM variables (unless there were bugs in the implementation of the allocator). There is still a risk that the heap and stack could collide if there are large requirements for either dynamic memory or stack space. The former can even happen if the allocations aren’t all that large but dynamic memory allocations get fragmented over time such that new requests don’t quite fit into the "holes" of previously freed regions. Large stack space requirements can arise in a C function containing large and/or numerous local variables or when recursively calling function.

Finally, there’s a challenge to make the memory allocator simple enough so the code size requirements will remain low, yet powerful enough to avoid unnecessary memory fragmentation and to get it all done with reasonably few CPU cycles since microcontrollers aren’t only often low on space, but also run at much lower speeds than the typical PC these days.

The memory allocator implemented in avr-libc tries to cope with all of these constraints, and offers some tuning options that can be used if there are more resources available than in the default configuration.

7.5.2

Internal vs. external RAM

Obviously, the constraints are much harder to satisfy in the default configuration where only internal RAM is available. Extreme care must be taken to avoid a stack-heap collision, both by making sure functions aren’t nesting too deeply, and don’t require too much stack space for local variables, as well as by being cautious with allocating too much dynamic memory.

If external RAM is available, it is strongly recommended to move the heap into the external RAM, regardless of whether or not the variables from the .data and .bss sections are also going to be located there. The stack should always be kept in internal RAM.

Some devices even require this, and in general, internal RAM can be accessed faster since no extra wait states are required. When using dynamic memory allocation and stack and heap are separated in distinct memory areas, this is the safest way to avoid a stack-heap collision.

Tunables for malloc()

There are a number of variables that can be tuned to adapt the behavior of

malloc()

to the expected requirements and constraints of the application. Any changes to these tunables should be made before the very first call to

malloc() . Note that some library

functions might also use dynamic memory (notably those from the

<stdio.h>: Standard IO facilities ), so make sure the changes will be done early enough in the startup

sequence.

The variables __malloc_heap_start and __malloc_heap_end can be used to restrict the

malloc()

function to a certain memory region. These variables are statically initialized to point to __heap_start and __heap_end, respectively, where

__heap_start is filled in by the linker to point just beyond .bss, and __heap_end is set to 0 which makes

malloc()

assume the heap is below the stack.

If the heap is going to be moved to external RAM, __malloc_heap_end must be adjusted accordingly. This can either be done at run-time, by writing directly to this variable, or it can be done automatically at link-time, by adjusting the value of the symbol __heap_end.

The following example shows a linker command to relocate the entire .data and .bss

segments, and the heap to location 0x1100 in external RAM. The heap will extend up to address 0xffff.

If __malloc_heap_end is 0, the allocator attempts to detect the bottom of stack in order to prevent a stack-heap collision when extending the actual size of the heap to gain more space for dynamic memory. It will not try to go beyond the current stack limit, decreased by __malloc_margin bytes. Thus, all possible stack frames of interrupt routines that could interrupt the current function, plus all further nested function calls must not require more stack space, or they will risk colliding with the data segment.

The default value of __malloc_margin is set to 32.

7.5.4

Implementation details

Dynamic memory allocation requests will be returned with a two-byte header prepended that records the size of the allocation. This is later used by

free() . The

returned address points just beyond that header. Thus, if the application accidentally writes before the returned memory region, the internal consistency of the memory allocator is compromised.

The implementation maintains a simple freelist that accounts for memory blocks that have been returned in previous calls to

free() . Note that all of this memory is considered

to be successfully added to the heap already, so no further checks against stack-heap collisions are done when recycling memory from the freelist.

Using malloc() 206

The freelist itself is not maintained as a separate data structure, but rather by modifying the contents of the freed memory to contain pointers chaining the pieces together. That way, no additional memory is reqired to maintain this list except for a variable that keeps track of the lowest memory segment available for reallocation. Since both, a chain pointer and the size of the chunk need to be recorded in each chunk, the minimum chunk size on the freelist is four bytes.

When allocating memory, first the freelist is walked to see if it could satisfy the request.

If there’s a chunk available on the freelist that will fit the request exactly, it will be taken, disconnected from the freelist, and returned to the caller. If no exact match could be found, the closest match that would just satisfy the request will be used. The chunk will normally be split up into one to be returned to the caller, and another (smaller) one that will remain on the freelist. In case this chunk was only up to two bytes larger than the request, the request will simply be altered internally to also account for these additional bytes since no separate freelist entry could be split off in that case.

If nothing could be found on the freelist, heap extension is attempted. This is where

__malloc_margin will be considered if the heap is operating below the stack, or where __malloc_heap_end will be verified otherwise.

If the remaining memory is insufficient to satisfy the request, NULL will eventually be returned to the caller.

When calling

free() , a new freelist entry will be prepared. An attempt is then made to

aggregate the new entry with possible adjacent entries, yielding a single larger entry available for further allocations. That way, the potential for heap fragmentation is hopefully reduced.

A call to

realloc()

first determines whether the operation is about to grow or shrink the current allocation. When shrinking, the case is easy: the existing chunk is split, and the tail of the region that is no longer to be used is passed to the standard

free()

function for insertion into the freelist. Checks are first made whether the tail chunk is large enough to hold a chunk of its own at all, otherwise

realloc()

will simply do nothing, and return the original region.

When growing the region, it is first checked whether the existing allocation can be extended in-place. If so, this is done, and the original pointer is returned without copying any data contents. As a side-effect, this check will also record the size of the largest chunk on the freelist.

If the region cannot be extended in-place, but the old chunk is at the top of heap, and the above freelist walk did not reveal a large enough chunk on the freelist to satisfy the new request, an attempt is made to quickly extend this topmost chunk (and thus the heap), so no need arises to copy over the existing data. If there’s no more space available in the heap (same check is done as in

malloc() ), the entire request will fail.

Otherwise,

malloc()

will be called with the new request size, the existing data will be copied over, and

free()

will be called on the old region.

Release Numbering and Methodology

7.6.1

Release Version Numbering Scheme

7.6.1.1

Stable Versions A stable release will always have a minor number that is an even number. This implies that you should be able to upgrade to a new version of the library with the same major and minor numbers without fear that any of the APIs have changed. The only changes that should be made to a stable branch are bug fixes and under some circumstances, additional functionality (e.g. adding support for a new device).

If major version number has changed, this implies that the required versions of gcc and binutils have changed. Consult the README file in the toplevel directory of the AVR

Libc source for which versions are required.

7.6.1.2

Development Versions The major version number of a development series is always the same as the last stable release.

The minor version number of a development series is always an odd number and is 1 more than the last stable release.

The patch version number of a development series is always 0 until a new branch is cut at which point the patch number is changed to 90 to denote the branch is approaching a release and the date appended to the version to denote that it is still in development.

All versions in development in cvs will also always have the date appended as a fourth version number. The format of the date will be YYYYMMDD.

So, the development version number will look like this:

1.1.0.20030825

While a pre-release version number on a branch (destined to become either 1.2 or 2.0) will look like this:

1.1.90.20030828

7.6.2

Releasing AVR Libc

The information in this section is only relevant to AVR Libc developers and can be ignored by end users.

Note:

In what follows, I assume you know how to use cvs and how to checkout multiple source trees in a single directory without having them clobber each other. If you don’t know how to do this, you probably shouldn’t be making releases or cutting branches.

Release Numbering and Methodology 208

7.6.2.1

Creating a cvs branch The following steps should be taken to cut a branch in cvs:

1. Check out a fresh source tree from cvs HEAD.

2. Update the NEWS file with pending release number and commit to cvs HEAD:

Change ”Changes since avr-libc-<last_release>:” to ”Changes in avr-libc-

<this_relelase>:”.

3. Set the branch-point tag (setting <major> and <minor> accordingly):

’cvs tag avr-libc-<major>_<minor>-branchpoint’

4. Create the branch:

’cvs tag -b avr-libc-<major>_<minor>-branch’

5. Update the package version in configure.ac and commit configure.ac to cvs

HEAD:

Change minor number to next odd value.

6. Update the NEWS file and commit to cvs HEAD:

Add ”Changes since avr-libc-<this_release>:”

7. Check out a new tree for the branch:

’cvs co -r avr-libc-<major>_<minor>-branch’

8. Update the package version in configure.ac and commit configure.ac to cvs branch:

Change the patch number to 90 to denote that this now a branch leading up to a release. Be sure to leave the <date> part of the version.

9. Bring the build system up to date by running bootstrap and configure.

10. Perform a ’make distcheck’ and make sure it succeeds. This will create the snapshot source tarball. This should be considered the first release candidate.

11. Upload the snapshot tarball to savannah.

12. Announce the branch and the branch tag to the avr-libc-dev list so other developers can checkout the branch.

Note:

CVS tags do not allow the use of periods (’.’).

7.6.2.2

Making a release A stable release will only be done on a branch, not from the cvs HEAD.

The following steps should be taken when making a release:

1. Make sure the source tree you are working from is on the correct branch:

’cvs update -r avr-libc-<major>_<minor>-branch’

2. Update the package version in configure.in and commit it to cvs.

3. Update the gnu tool chain version requirements in the README and commit to cvs.

4. Update the ChangeLog file to note the release and commit to cvs on the branch:

Add ”Released avr-libc-<this_release>.”

5. Update the NEWS file with pending release number and commit to cvs:

Change ”Changes since avr-libc-<last_release>:” to ”Changes in avr-libc-

<this_relelase>:”.

6. Bring the build system up to date by running bootstrap and configure.

7. Perform a ’make distcheck’ and make sure it succeeds. This will create the source tarball.

8. Tag the release:

’cvs tag avr-libc-<major>_<minor>_<patch>-release’

9. Upload the tarball to savannah.

10. Update the NEWS file, and commit to cvs:

Add ”Changes since avr-libc-<major>_<minor>_<patch>:”

11. Generate the latest documentation and upload to savannah.

12. Announce the release.

The following hypothetical diagram should help clarify version and branch relationships.

Memory Sections

Remarks:

Need to list all the sections which are available to the avr.

Weak Bindings

FIXME: need to discuss the .weak directive.

The following describes the various sections available.

7.7.1

The .text Section

The .text section contains the actual machine instructions which make up your program.

This section is further subdivided by the .initN and .finiN sections dicussed below.

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.7

Memory Sections 211

Note:

The avr-size program (part of binutils), coming from a Unix background, doesn’t account for the .data initialization space added to the .text section, so in order to know how much flash the final program will consume, one needs to add the values for both, .text and .data (but not .bss), while the amount of pre-allocated

SRAM is the sum of .data and .bss.

7.7.2

The .data Section

This section contains static data which was defined in your code. Things like the following would end up in .data: char err_str[] = "Your program has died a horrible death!"; struct point pt = { 1, 1 };

It is possible to tell the linker the SRAM address of the beginning of the .data section.

This is accomplished by adding -Wl,-Tdata,addr to the avr-gcc command used to the link your program. Not that addr must be offset by adding 0x800000 the to real SRAM address so that the linker knows that the address is in the SRAM memory space. Thus, if you want the .data section to start at 0x1100, pass 0x801100 at the address to the linker. [offset

explained ]

Note:

When using

malloc()

in the application (which could even happen inside library calls),

additional adjustments

are required.

7.7.3

The .bss Section

Uninitialized global or static variables end up in the .bss section.

7.7.4

The .eeprom Section

This is where eeprom variables are stored.

7.7.5

The .noinit Section

This sections is a part of the .bss section. What makes the .noinit section special is that variables which are defined as such: int foo __attribute__ ((section (".noinit")));

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.7

Memory Sections 212 will not be initialized to zero during startup as would normal .bss data.

Only uninitialized variables can be placed in the .noinit section. Thus, the following code will cause avr-gcc to issue an error: int bar __attribute__ ((section (".noinit"))) = 0xaa;

It is possible to tell the linker explicitly where to place the .noinit section by adding

-Wl,-section-start=.noinit=0x802000 to the avr-gcc command line at the linking stage. For example, suppose you wish to place the .noinit section at

SRAM address 0x2000:

$ avr-gcc ... -Wl,--section-start=.noinit=0x802000 ...

Note:

Because of the Harvard architecture of the AVR devices, you must manually add

0x800000 to the address you pass to the linker as the start of the section. Otherwise, the linker thinks you want to put the .noinit section into the .text section instead of .data/.bss and will complain.

Alternatively, you can write your own linker script to automate this. [FIXME: need an example or ref to dox for writing linker scripts.]

7.7.6

The .initN Sections

These sections are used to define the startup code from reset up through the start of main(). These all are subparts of the

.text section .

The purpose of these sections is to allow for more specific placement of code within your program.

Note:

Sometimes, it is convenient to think of the .initN and .finiN sections as functions, but in reality they are just symbolic names which tell the linker where to stick a chunk of code which is not a function. Notice that the examples for

asm

and

C

can not be called as functions and should not be jumped into.

The .initN sections are executed in order from 0 to 9.

.init0:

Weakly bound to __init(). If user defines __init(), it will be jumped into immediately after a reset.

.init1:

Unused. User definable.

.init2:

In C programs, weakly bound to initialize the stack, and to clear __zero_reg__

.init3:

Unused. User definable.

.init4:

For devices with > 64 KB of ROM, .init4 defines the code which takes care of copying the contents of .data from the flash to SRAM. For all other devices, this code as well as the code to zero out the .bss section is loaded from libgcc.a.

.init5:

.init6:

Unused for C programs, but used for constructors in C++ programs.

.init7:

Unused. User definable.

.init8:

Unused. User definable.

.init9:

Jumps into main().

7.7.7

The .finiN Sections

These sections are used to define the exit code executed after return from main() or a call to

exit() . These all are subparts of the

.text section .

The .finiN sections are executed in descending order from 9 to 0.

.finit9:

Unused. User definable. This is effectively where _exit() starts.

.fini8:

Unused. User definable.

.fini7:

Unused. User definable.

.fini6:

Installing the GNU Tool Chain

Note:

This discussion was taken directly from Rich Neswold’s document. (See

Acknowledgments ).

This discussion is Unix specific. [FIXME: troth/2002-08-13: we need a volunteer to add windows specific notes to these instructions.]

This chapter shows how to build and install a complete development environment for the AVR processors using the GNU toolset.

The default behaviour for most of these tools is to install every thing under the

/usr/local directory. In order to keep the AVR tools separate from the base system, it is usually better to install everything into /usr/local/avr.

If the

/usr/local/avr directory does not exist, you should create it before trying to install anything. You will need root access to install there. If you don’t have root access to the system, you can alternatively install in your home directory, for example, in $HOME/local/avr. Where you install is a completely arbitrary decision, but should be consistent for all the tools.

You specify the installation directory by using the -prefix=dir option with the configure script. It is important to install all the AVR tools in the same directory or some of the tools will not work correctly. To ensure consistency and simplify the discussion, we will use $PREFIX to refer to whatever directory you wish to install in.

You can set this as an environment variable if you wish as such (using a Bourne-like shell):

$ PREFIX=$HOME/local/avr

$ export PREFIX

Note:

Be sure that you have your PATH environment variable set to search the directory you install everything in before you start installing anything. For example, if you use -prefix=$PREFIX, you must have $PREFIX/bin in your exported

PATH . As such:

$ PATH=$PATH:$PREFIX/bin

$ export PATH

Warning:

If you have CC set to anything other than avr-gcc in your environment, this will cause the configure script to fail. It is best to not have CC set at all.

7.8.3

GNU Binutils for the AVR target

The binutils package provides all the low-level utilities needed in building and manipulating object files. Once installed, your environment will have an AVR assembler

(avr-as), linker (avr-ld), and librarian (avr-ar and avr-ranlib). In addition, you get tools which extract data from object files (avr-objcopy), dissassemble object file information (avr-objdump), and strip information from object files

(avr-strip). Before we can build the C compiler, these tools need to be in place.

Download and unpack the source files:

$ bunzip2 -c binutils-<version>.tar.bz2 | tar xf -

$ cd binutils-<version>

Note:

Replace with the version of the package you downloaded.

Note:

If you obtained a gzip compressed file (.gz), use gunzip instead of bunzip2.

It is usually a good idea to configure and build binutils in a subdirectory so as not to pollute the source with the compiled files. This is recommended by the binutils developers.

$ mkdir obj-avr

$ cd obj-avr

The next step is to configure and build the tools. This is done by supplying arguments to the configure script that enable the AVR-specific options.

$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --disable-nls

If you don’t specify the -prefix option, the tools will get installed in the

/usr/local hierarchy (i.e. the binaries will get installed in /usr/local/bin, the info pages get installed in /usr/local/info, etc.) Since these tools are changing frequently, It is preferrable to put them in a location that is easily removed.

When configure is run, it generates a lot of messages while it determines what is available on your operating system. When it finishes, it will have created several

Makefile s that are custom tailored to your platform. At this point, you can build the project.

Installing the GNU Tool Chain 218

$ make

Note:

BSD users should note that the project’s Makefile uses GNU make syntax.

This means FreeBSD users may need to build the tools by using gmake.

If the tools compiled cleanly, you’re ready to install them. If you specified a destination that isn’t owned by your account, you’ll need root access to install them. To install:

$ make install

You should now have the programs from binutils installed into $PREFIX/bin. Don’t forget to

set your PATH

environment variable before going to build avr-gcc.

7.8.4

GCC for the AVR target

Warning:

You must install

avr-binutils

and make sure your

path is set

properly before installing avr-gcc.

The steps to build avr-gcc are essentially same as for

binutils :

$ bunzip2 -c gcc-<version>.tar.bz2 | tar xf -

$ cd gcc-<version>

$ mkdir obj-avr

$ cd obj-avr

$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --enable-languages=c,c++ \

--disable-nls --with-dwarf2

$ make

$ make install

To save your self some download time, you can alternatively download only the gcc-core<version>.tar.bz2 and gcc-c++-<version>.tar.bz2

parts of the gcc. Also, if you don’t need C++ support, you only need the core part and should only enable the C language support.

Note:

Early versions of these tools did not support C++.

The stdc++ libs are not included with C++ for AVR due to the size limitations of the devices.

Note:

If you have obtained the latest avr-libc from cvs, you will have to run the bootstrap script before using either of the build methods described below.

To build and install avr-libc:

$ gunzip -c avr-libc-<version>.tar.gz | tar xf -

$ cd avr-libc-<version>

$ ./configure --build=‘./config.guess‘ --host=avr

$ make

$ make install

Note:

Other configure options might follow, notably –prefix in order to change the directory prefix for the installed files from its default /usr/local.

7.8.6

UISP

Uisp also uses the configure system, so to build and install:

$ gunzip -c uisp-<version>.tar.gz | tar xf -

$ cd uisp-<version>

$ mkdir obj-avr

$ cd obj-avr

$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX

Avrdude

Note:

It has been ported to windows (via cygwin) and linux. Other unix systems should be trivial to port to.

avrdude is part of the FreeBSD ports system. To install it, simply do the following:

# cd /usr/ports/devel/avrdude

# make install

Note:

Installation into the default location usually requires root permissions. However, running the program only requires access permissions to the appropriate ppi(4) device.

Building and installing on other systems should use the configure system, as such:

GDB for the AVR target

Gdb also uses the configure system, so to build and install:

$ bunzip2 -c gdb-<version>.tar.bz2 | tar xf -

$ cd gdb-<version>

$ mkdir obj-avr

$ cd obj-avr

$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr

$ make

$ make install

Note:

If you are planning on using avr-gdb, you will probably want to install either

simulavr

or

avarice

since avr-gdb needs one of these to run as a a remote target backend.

7.8.9

Simulavr

Simulavr also uses the configure system, so to build and install:

$ gunzip -c simulavr-<version>.tar.gz | tar xf -

$ cd simulavr-<version>

$ mkdir obj-avr

$ cd obj-avr

$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX

$ make

$ make install

Note:

You might want to have already installed

avr-binutils ,

avr-gcc

and

avr-libc

if you want to have the test programs built in the simulavr source.

AVaRice

Note:

These install notes are not applicable to avarice-1.5 or older. You probably don’t want to use anything that old anyways since there have been many improvements and bug fixes since the 1.5 release.

$ cd obj-avr

$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX

$ make

$ make install

Note:

AVaRice uses the bfd library for accessing various binary file formats. You may need to tell the configure script where to find the lib and headers for the link to work. This is usually done by invoking the configure script like this (Replace

<hdr_path> with the path to the bfd.h file on your system. Replace <lib_path > with the path to libbfd.a on your system.):

$ CPPFLAGS=-I<hdr_path> LDFLAGS=-L<lib_path> ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX

7.9

Using the avrdude program

Note:

This section was contributed by Brian Dean [ [email protected]

].

The avrdude program was previously called avrprog. The name was changed to avoid confusion with the avrprog program that Atmel ships with AvrStudio.

avrdude is a program that is used to update or read the flash and EEPROM memories of Atmel AVR microcontrollers on FreeBSD Unix. It supports the Atmel serial programming protocol using the PC’s parallel port and can upload either a raw binary file or an Intel Hex format file. It can also be used in an interactive mode to individually update EEPROM cells, fuse bits, and/or lock bits (if their access is supported by the

Atmel serial programming protocol.) The main flash instruction memory of the AVR can also be programmed in interactive mode, however this is not very useful because one can only turn bits off. The only way to turn flash bits on is to erase the entire memory (using avrdude’s -e option).

avrdude is part of the FreeBSD ports system. To install it, simply do the following:

# cd /usr/ports/devel/avrdude

# make install

Once installed, avrdude can program processors using the contents of the .hex file specified on the command line. In this example, the file main.hex is burned into the flash memory:

# avrdude -p 2313 -e -m flash -i main.hex

Thank you.

The -p 2313 option lets avrdude know that we are operating on an AT90S2313 chip. This option specifies the device id and is matched up with the device of the same id in avrdude’s configuration file ( /usr/local/etc/avrdude.conf ). To list valid parts, specify the -v option. The -e option instructs avrdude to perform a chip-erase before programming; this is almost always necessary before programming the flash. The -m flash option indicates that we want to upload data into the flash memory, while -i main.hex specifies the name of the input file.

The EEPROM is uploaded in the same way, the only difference is that you would use

-m eeprom instead of -m flash.

To use interactive mode, use the -t option:

Using the GNU tools

This is a short summary of the AVR-specific aspects of using the GNU tools. Normally, the generic documentation of these tools is fairly large and maintained in texinfo files. Command-line options are explained in detail in the manual page.

7.10.1

Options for the C compiler avr-gcc

7.10.1.1

Machine-specific options for the AVR The following machine-specific options are recognized by the C compiler frontend.

• -mmcu=architecture

Compile code for architecture. Currently known architectures are avr1 avr2 avr3 avr4 avr5

Simple CPU core, only assembler support

"Classic" CPU core, up to 8 KB of

ROM

"Classic" CPU core, more than 8 KB of

ROM

"Enhanced" CPU core, up to 8 KB of

ROM

"Enhanced" CPU core, more than 8 KB of ROM

By default, code is generated for the avr2 architecture.

Note that when only using -mmcu=architecture but no -mmcu=MCU type, including the file <avr/io.h> cannot work since it cannot decide which device’s definitions to select.

• -mmcu=MCU type

The following MCU types are currently understood by avr-gcc. The table matches them against the corresponding avr-gcc architecture name, and shows the preprocessor symbol declared by the -mmcu option.

• -morder1

• -morder2

Change the order of register assignment. The default is r24, r25, r18, r19, r20, r21, r22, r23, r30, r31, r26, r27, r28, r29, r17, r16, r15, r14, r13, r12, r11, r10, r9, r8, r7, r6, r5, r4, r3, r2, r0, r1

Order 1 uses r18, r19, r20, r21, r22, r23, r24, r25, r30, r31, r26, r27, r28, r29, r17, r16, r15, r14, r13, r12, r11, r10, r9, r8, r7, r6, r5, r4, r3, r2, r0, r1

Order 2 uses r25, r24, r23, r22, r21, r20, r19, r18, r30, r31, r26, r27, r28, r29, r17, r16, r15, r14, r13, r12, r11, r10, r9, r8, r7, r6, r5, r4, r3, r2, r1, r0

• -mint8

Assume int to be an 8-bit integer.

Note that this is not really supported by avr-libc , so it should normally not be used. The default is to use 16-bit integers.

• -mno-interrupts

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.10

Using the GNU tools 226

Generates code that changes the stack pointer without disabling interrupts. Normally, the state of the status register SREG is saved in a temporary register, interrupts are disabled while changing the stack pointer, and SREG is restored.

• -mcall-prologues

Use subroutines for function prologue/epilogue. For complex functions that use many registers (that needs to be saved/restored on function entry/exit), this saves some space at the cost of a slightly increased execution time.

• -minit-stack=nnnn

Set the initial stack pointer to nnnn. By default, the stack pointer is initialized to the symbol __stack, which is set to RAMEND by the run-time initialization code.

• -mtiny-stack

Change only the low 8 bits of the stack pointer.

• -mno-tablejump

Do not generate tablejump instructions. By default, jump tables can be used to optimize switch statements. When turned off, sequences of compare statements are used instead. Jump tables are usually faster to execute on average, but in particular for switch statements where most of the jumps would go to the default label, they might waste a bit of flash memory.

• -mshort-calls

Use rjmp/rcall (limited range) on >8K devices. On avr2 and avr4 architectures (less than 8 KB or flash memory), this is always the case. On avr3 and avr5 architectures, calls and jumps to targets outside the current function will by default use jmp/call instructions that can cover the entire address range, but that require more flash ROM and execution time.

• -mrtl

Dump the internal compilation result called "RTL" into comments in the generated assembler code. Used for debugging avr-gcc.

• -msize

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.10

Using the GNU tools 227

Dump the address, size, and relative cost of each statement into comments in the generated assembler code. Used for debugging avr-gcc.

• -mdeb

Generate lots of debugging information to stderr.

7.10.1.2

Selected general compiler options The following general gcc options might be of some interest to AVR users.

• -On

Optimization level n. Increasing n is meant to optimize more, an optimization level of

0 means no optimization at all, which is the default if no -O option is present. The special option -Os is meant to turn on all -O2 optimizations that are not expected to increase code size.

Note that at -O3, gcc attempts to inline all "simple" functions. For the AVR target, this will normally constitute a large pessimization due to the code increasement. The only other optimization turned on with -O3 is -frename-registers, which could rather be enabled manually instead.

A simple -O option is equivalent to -O1.

Note also that turning off all optimizations will prevent some warnings from being issued since the generation of those warnings depends on code analysis steps that are only performed when optimizing (unreachable code, unused variables).

See also the

appropriate FAQ entry

for issues regarding debugging optimized code.

• -Wa,assembler-options

• -Wl,linker-options

Pass the listed options to the assembler, or linker, respectively.

• -g

Generate debugging information that can be used by avr-gdb.

• -ffreestanding

Assume a "freestanding" environment as per the C standard. This turns off automatic builtin functions (though they can still be reached by prepending __builtin_ to the actual function name). It also makes the compiler not complain when main()

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.10

Using the GNU tools 228 is declared with a void return type which makes some sense in a microcontroller environment where the application cannot meaningfully provide a return value to its environment (in most cases, main() won’t even return anyway). However, this also turns off all optimizations normally done by the compiler which assume that functions known by a certain name behave as described by the standard. E. g., applying the function

strlen()

to a literal string will normally cause the compiler to immediately replace that call by the actual length of the string, while with -ffreestanding, it will always call

strlen()

at run-time.

• -funsigned-char

Make any unqualfied char type an unsigned char. Without this option, they default to a signed char.

• -funsigned-bitfields

Make any unqualified bitfield type unsigned. By default, they are signed.

• -fshort-enums

Allocate to an enum type only as many bytes as it needs for the declared range of possible values. Specifically, the enum type will be equivalent to the smallest integer type which has enough room.

• -fpack-struct

Pack all structure members together without holes.

7.10.2

Options for the assembler avr-as

7.10.2.1

Machine-specific assembler options

• -mmcu=architecture

• -mmcu=MCU name avr-as understands the same -mmcu= options as

avr-gcc . By default, avr2 is assumed,

but this can be altered by using the appropriate .arch pseudo-instruction inside the assembler source file.

• -mall-opcodes

Turns off opcode checking for the actual MCU type, and allows any possible AVR opcode to be assembled.

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.10

Using the GNU tools 229

• -mno-skip-bug

Don’t emit a warning when trying to skip a 2-word instruction with a

CPSE/SBIC/SBIS/SBRC/SBRS instruction. Early AVR devices suffered from a hardware bug where these instructions could not be properly skipped.

• -mno-wrap

For RJMP/RCALL instructions, don’t allow the target address to wrap around for devices that have more than 8 KB of memory.

• -gstabs

Generate .stabs debugging symbols for assembler source lines. This enables avr-gdb to trace through assembler source files. This option must not be used when assembling sources that have been generated by the C compiler; these files already contain the appropriate line number information from the C source files.

• -a[cdhlmns=file]

Turn on the assembler listing. The sub-options are:

• c omit false conditionals

• d omit debugging directives

• h include high-level source

• l include assembly

• m include macro expansions

• n omit forms processing

• s include symbols

• =file set the name of the listing file

The various sub-options can be combined into a single -a option list; =file must be the last one in that case.

7.10

Using the GNU tools 230

7.10.2.2

Examples for assembler options passed through the C compiler Remember that assembler options can be passed from the C compiler frontend using -Wa

(see

above ), so in order to include the C source code into the assembler listing in

file foo.lst, when compiling foo.c, the following compiler command-line can be used:

$ avr-gcc -c -O foo.c -o foo.o -Wa,-ahls=foo.lst

In order to pass an assembler file through the C preprocessor first, and have the assembler generate line number debugging information for it, the following command can be used:

$ avr-gcc -c -x assembler-with-cpp -o foo.o foo.S -Wa,--gstabs

Note that on Unix systems that have case-distinguishing file systems, specifying a file name with the suffix .S (upper-case letter S) will make the compiler automatically assume -x assembler-with-cpp, while using .s would pass the file directly to the assembler (no preprocessing done).

7.10.3

Controlling the linker avr-ld

7.10.3.1

Selected linker options While there are no machine-specific options for avr-ld, a number of the standard options might be of interest to AVR users.

• -lname

Locate the archive library named libname.a, and use it to resolve currently unresolved symbols from it.

The library is searched along a path that consists of builtin pathname entries that have been specified at compile time (e.

g.

/usr/local/avr/lib on Unix systems), possibly extended by pathname entries as specified by -L options (that must precede the -l options on the command-line).

• -Lpath

Additional location to look for archive libraries requested by -l options.

• -defsym symbol=expr

Define a global symbol symbol using expr as the value.

• -M

Print a linker map to stdout.

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.10

Using the GNU tools 231

• -Map mapfile

Print a linker map to mapfile.

• -cref

Output a cross reference table to the map file (in case -Map is also present), or to stdout .

• -section-start sectionname=org

Start section sectionname at absolute address org.

• -Tbss org

• -Tdata org

• -Ttext org

Start the bss, data, or text section at org, respectively.

• -T scriptfile

Use scriptfile as the linker script, replacing the default linker script.

Default linker scripts are stored in a system-specific location (e.

g.

under

/usr/local/avr/lib/ldscripts on Unix systems), and consist of the AVR architecture name (avr2 through avr5) with the suffix .x appended. They describe how the various

memory sections

will be linked together.

7.10.3.2

Passing linker options from the C compiler By default, all unknown non-option arguments on the avr-gcc command-line (i. e., all filename arguments that don’t have a suffix that is handled by avr-gcc) are passed straight to the linker. Thus, all files ending in .o (object files) and .a (object libraries) are provided to the linker.

System libraries are usually not passed by their explicit filename but rather using the

-l option which uses an abbreviated form of the archive filename (see above). avrlibc ships two system libraries, libc.a, and libm.a. While the standard library libc.a

will always be searched for unresolved references when the linker is started using the C compiler frontend (i. e., there’s always at least one implied -lc option), the mathematics library libm.a needs to be explicitly requested using -lm. See also the

entry in the FAQ

explaining this.

Conventionally, Makefiles use the make macro LDLIBS to keep track of -l (and possibly -L) options that should only be appended to the C compiler command-line

Generated on Sat Nov 19 23:00:48 2005 for avr-libc by Doxygen

7.11

Todo List 232 when linking the final binary. In contrast, the macro LDFLAGS is used to store other command-line options to the C compiler that should be passed as options during the linking stage. The difference is that options are placed early on the command-line, while libraries are put at the end since they are to be used to resolve global symbols that are still unresolved at this point.

Specific linker flags can be passed from the C compiler command-line using the -Wl compiler option, see

above . This option requires that there be no spaces in the appended

linker option, while some of the linker options above (like -Map or -defsym) would require a space. In these situations, the space can be replaced by an equal sign as well. For example, the following command-line can be used to compile foo.c into an executable, and also produce a link map that contains a cross-reference list in the file foo.map:

$ avr-gcc -O -o foo.out -Wl,-Map=foo.map -Wl,--cref foo.c

Alternatively, a comma as a placeholder will be replaced by a space before passing the option to the linker. So for a device with external SRAM, the following command-line would cause the linker to place the data segment at address 0x2000 in the SRAM:

$ avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega128 -o foo.out -Wl,-Tdata,0x802000

See the explanation of the

data section

for why 0x800000 needs to be added to the actual value. Note that unless a -minit-stack option has been given when compiling the C source file that contains the function main(), the stack will still remain in internal RAM, through the symbol __stack that is provided by the run-time startup code.

This is probably a good idea anyway (since internal RAM access is faster), and even required for some early devices that had hardware bugs preventing them from using a stack in external RAM. Note also that the heap for

malloc()

will still be placed after all the variables in the data section, so in this situation, no stack/heap collision can occur.

7.11

Todo List

Group

avr_boot

From email with Marek: On smaller devices (all except ATmega64/128), __SPM_REG is in the I/O space, accessible with the shorter "in" and "out" instructions - since the boot loader has a limited size, this could be an important optimization.
