Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Black Magic Probe: Why two ttyACM* devices?

[Felix Ruess]

There is nothing special going on... it is just as if you would connect an XBee or your FTDI serial->usb converter to the uart on the ap.

Simply think of the BMP as a debugger with "built in" serial->usb converter (like a FTDI cable)...

True, I was just curious.

So if I use
<subsystem name="telemetry" type="transparent"/>

  <configure name="MODEM_PORT" value="UART3"/>

</subsystem>

then somehow the BMP serial gets mapped to UART3?

From the AP code you just use the normal uart.

Or you can directly use <subsystem name="telemetry" type="transparent_usb"/> to send it over usb directly and then not use the BMP (or any other serial->usb converter).

Stupid (but related) question - how do I access the BMP serial port from the AP code? For example, can the telemetry be sent over that UART-BMP port?

I always add the bmp to my udev rules to create some nicer symlinks:

SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{interface}=="Black Magic GDB Server", SYMLINK+="bmp-gdb"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{interface}=="Black Magic UART Port", SYMLINK+="bmp-serial"

then I can use /dev/bmp-gdb for flashing and debugging and /dev/bmp-serial for the - well - serial...

Michal, Felix, thanks. That did help.

I preconfigured it into my airframe file, so that I can use the "Default" flash mode:

<firmware name="rotocraft">
    ...
    <configure name="FLASH_MODE" value="SWD"/>
    <configure name="BMP_PORT" value="/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Black_Sphere_Technologies_Black_Magic_Probe_E3C1A9DD-if00"/>
</firmware>

(Not sure if the serial E3C1A9DD from above example will work for everyone.)


Waiting for the storms to calm down to do more test flying:

The second /dev/ttyACMx is a serial device connected to the UART port on the back of the BMP.

So that is basically just like a FTDI serial<->USB adapter and you can use it to e.g. connect to the telemetry uart port on the ap for desk testing.

Simon, you have to use swdp_scan instead of jtag_scan for Lisa MX / F4, see wiki: http://wiki.paparazziuav.org/wiki/RT_Paparazzi

I dont know why there are two devices, but you always want to use the first one (i.e. a lower number one).

So far I only used the BMP to upload the firmware onto my Lisa MX using
SWD on latest master. The JTAG option never worked for me (with the
"JTAG device scan failed!" error). I never used the BMP for any
debugging - nor would I know how to do that.

But why does it create two ttyACM* devices when plugging in? Is the
other one supposed to work with the JTAG upload setting? I read that
flashing via JTAG would be much faster than via SWD. Is that correct?
