soc: st: stm32mp13xx series support

[arifbalik]

Introduction

ST Recently released STMicroelectronics/cmsis_device_mp13.git for STM32MP13 series bare metal development. But Zephyr currently only has support for STM32MP15 series. If there is no one working on this I would like to try and implement it.

Problem description

Currently applications can not be build on STM32MP13 series. There is a Kconfig SOC_SERIES_STM32MP1X but its designed to be run on the co-processor (only available in mp15xx series) and not the cortex-a7

Proposed change

I would like to define the SOC and STM32MP135F-DK board, which is the only board I have atm.

Detailed RFC

The SOC directory inside hal_stm32 repo does not contain header files for stm32mp13xx series but it exists at https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/cmsis_device_mp13.git

Proposed change (Detailed)

After updating the hal_stm32 I would follow the standard practice for defining the SOC, but for board I'm not sure which drivers are missing, but I do not think much. The board I'll be using has all security features inside the chip, that part may require some work.

@arifbalik I know someone who would be interested in this @arnopo :)

@arifbalik There is actually a port initiated and which should be pushed upstream soon.

Is there a branch we can follow maybe?

@arifbalik , we have started the porting but nothing sharable for time being (at PoC level)
When do you expect to start your work on stm32mp13?

I don't really have a project for it. I just wanted to contribute

We will try to find time to share something with you as soon as possible (by the end of this week or next week). Even if it is not clean yet, it should help you. I will keep you informed.

That would be very nice, I would really like to contribute whereever possible.

I already worked with stm32mp1 series so I'm familiar with it

Hi @arifbalik

As discussed, please find below two links to my GitHub that allow you to run the sample blinky on the STM32MP13 board.

This code is not yet clean enough to be upstreamed, but we expect to do it in January.

• the HAL is available here: https://github.com/arnopo/hal_stm32/tree/stm32mp13xx
• the Zephyr STM32MP13 support is available here: https://github.com/arnopo/zephyr_stm32mp1/tree/stm32mp135f_dk
• the documentation entry point is available here: https://github.com/arnopo/zephyr_stm32mp1/blob/stm32mp135f_dk/boards/st/stm32mp135f_dk/doc/stm32mp135_dk.rst

Current status:

• you need to load a stm32CUbe package on SDcard to be able to initialize the DDR. Then boot the board and you will be able to load zephyr application using west debug
• No UART console yet

If you want to contribute, please tell us which part you want to work on so that we can avoid duplicating efforts. On our side, we will probably focus first on making the SoC and board parts clean, so don't hesitate if you want to enable UART or some other peripherals or to focus on some frameworks such as USB, LVGL.

Thanks!

That looks great. I'll try to build and run something on my board and see if i can get a console.

Thanks for sharing, can't wait to get started

@arnopo Just a quick question, I got the blinky working on my board, but whenever I enable my newly defined uart, and the driver uart_stm32, I get an exception as soon as the driver tries to access the memory region of the uart4 (0x40010000). Spesifically on this line;

zephyr/drivers/serial/uart_stm32.c

Line 1989 in 3fa522c

LL_USART_Disable(usart);

Note: I've also made sure correct LL libraries are included from hal_stm32

Which just writes to the CR register. After this we drop into

zephyr/arch/arm/core/cortex_a_r/vector_table.S

Line 26 in 3fa522c

ldr pc, =z_arm_data_abort /* data abort offset 0x10 */

Which means this is a weird memory region we are not allowed to work on? I took a quick look at the ext loader to see if there is a configuration for enabling the core for a region of memory (like in optee) but I think not.

I don't have an svd file so I can not snapshot the registers for RCC and UART4 but it seems like we have to enable access to this peripheral as far as I understand it. Am I missing something here? Maybe this has to do with the TZC
