TI's primary development platform for TCS211 firmware was D-Sample - see our D-Sample article for explanation of our current limited support for that target in FC Magnetite - but they also had another platform called Leonardo. The primary difference is the RF section: D-Sample had Clara RF (the one for which we lack support), whereas Leonardo was TI's reference platform for Rita RF and for the complete Calypso+Iota+Rita chipset. Another major difference is that D-Sample was a single stable platform, whereas Leonardo was made in a bewildering assortment of different variants. We (FreeCalypso core team) never succeeded in getting our hands on a real TI-made Leonardo board of any variant, but we do have a Leonardo build target in FC Magnetite for two reasons: 1) Adding this build target was trivial: our starting hw target for which we got our original starting-point fw was Openmoko's embedded GSM/GPRS modem, and that modem is a very close derivative of Leonardo. The only firmware- affecting diff between Leonardo and OM's modem is FIC/OM's reshuffling of TSPACT control lines for their triband RFFE; producing a build configuration with these TSPACT control signals put back into their original Leonardo arrangement became trivial once our reconstruction of tpudrv12.c from disassembly of tpudrv12.obj reached production quality. 2) At the end of 2019 we discovered a certain modem module which we call Tango, and this Tango module is essentially a mass-produced version of TI's Leonardo core. Tango is just the core of Leonardo, without any peripherals, thus a proper fw build target for any given Tango-based platform is going to be a little different from Leonardo in terms of GPIO and other peripheral config (see our tangomdm target), but initially we ran our Magnetite-Leonardo fw (built for target leonardo) on our Caramel board - it runs just fine except for GPIO config being slightly wrong, leaving a few GPIO lines floating. Supported Leonardo variants =========================== RF bands: there were several Leonardo variants with full quadband RF using Epcos M034F FEM, and there were several more variants with artifically restricted RF, using a dual-band/single-region FEM and supporting only the two EU bands. The two versions should be firmware-compatible according to our available schematics (the same TSPACT signals are used for Tx control), thus our Magnetite-Leonardo fw should run on any Leonardo variant that matches any of our known schematic versions at least in the principal aspects. Flash memory: our Magnetite-Leonardo fw supports the following flash chips for FFS: 4 MiB: Fujitsu MBM29DL320FB or MBM29DL320FT 8 MiB: Am29DL640G or its Fujitsu equivalent, or any MCP containing this flash 16 MiB: Spansion PL129J or its AMD predecessor, second bank on nCS2 If anyone finds a Leonardo variant with some other flash, it may not be supported out of the box - but our included FFS configs for the Leonardo target come directly from TI's original TCS211 version (it is highly unlikely that OM changed anything other than adding their Samsung flash), thus we support everything that TI's own TCS211 supported out of the box. Memory size limits ================== The linker script template we use for target leonardo has memory region size limits set as follows: 8 MiB of flash, 2 MiB of XRAM and 512 KiB of IRAM. If you are working with a Leonardo or Leonardo-compatible board that has smaller flash or XRAM, or has a Calypso Lite chip with only 256 KiB of IRAM, then you have to manually ensure that you stay within your actual memory limits, as you won't get a failing link unless you exceed the larger linker script limits. If you are building a modem-only fw configuration (l1reconst or hybrid), it will fit into under 3 MiB of flash (fitting into a 4 MiB flash chip together with FFS), 512 KiB of XRAM and 256 KiB of IRAM, so you are safe unless you are going to add a lot of your own code or data space. But if you are going to build a UI-enabled fw config (2092 or hybrid-ui), then you will need at least an 8 MiB flash chip (won't fit into a 4 MiB chip together with FFS) and at least 1 MiB of XRAM. So far all of our configs fit into 256 KiB of IRAM. Different Calypso chip versions =============================== If you specify the build target as just leonardo, your fw will be configured and built for the leonardo-dsp36 target. If you actually need leonardo-c05b or leonardo-dsp34 because your board has an older Calypso chip version on it, then you will need to specify the build target as just stated - see the Calypso-version-override article. Calypso GPIO 2 configuration ============================ On TI's C-Sample and D-Sample boards Calypso GPIO 2 is wired to serve as the DCD output for the MODEM UART (Calypso device as DCE), and our FC Magnetite firmware drives it as such on D-Sample, FCDEV3B and GTM900 targets. But this same config does NOT apply to Leonardo: on the latter boards GPIO 2 is wired in a way that requires it to be configured as an input to Calypso, not an output. TI's TCS211 firmware had this Leonardo GPIO 2 situation handled in a very bizarre manner: the main GPIO init code in AI_InitIOConfig() in armio.c made no differentiation between D-Sample and Leonardo and configured GPIO 2 as an output, then the init code in uartfax.c did the same setup again, but at the end of the Init_Serial_Flows() function in the init module (which we only got as init.obj, with init.c censored out) they inserted a bit of code that switches GPIO 2 to be an input. What a mess. Our handling of this GPIO 2 situation in FC Magnetite is much cleaner: we have put an #ifndef CONFIG_TARGET_LEONARDO around the AI_ConfigBitAsOutput(2) call in AI_InitIOConfig() so this GPIO line never becomes an output in the first place, and our targets/leonardo.h configuration header defines UARTFAX_CLASSIC_DTR_DCD to 0 on this target, disabling that code in the uartfax.c driver. This peculiar GPIO 2 situation applies only to real Leonardo boards, not to Tango modems: a custom design using a Tango module can use this GPIO line for anything, but on Caramel boards it drives RS-232 DCD like on D-Sample and thus should be configured as a Calypso output. Other GPIO and multifunction pins ================================= Our Magnetite-Leonardo fw is unchanged from TI's TCS211 original in that GPIO0, TSPDI/GPIO4 and DSR_MODEM/LPG pins are left configured as inputs, even though the schematics we've got show GPIO0 as an output and the other two pins as unconnected, in which case they should also be configured as outputs in order to not float. We are leaving this aspect unchanged currently because this Magnetite-Leonardo fw build target is really just a reference for practically non-existent hw, and given the unknown of what other Leonardo variants may have existed once beyond our known schematics, we would rather leave a few floating inputs than risk causing a driver conflict on some unknown board. In the case of Tango these 3 just-mentioned Calypso signals (as well as BCLKX/GPIO6) have been confirmed to be unconnected at their Calypso ball pads (not brought out externally, not used internally for anything, not tied or pulled to either GND or V-IO), thus we configure them as dummy outputs, eliminating floating inputs.
