OpenEC

OpenEC firmware project

Openec is an effort for an open implementation of the firmware on the EC. It currently is in an early stage and only outputs/accepts data via a serial adapter [[1]] and a terminal program. Downloading openec to an XO might damage the XO, please drop a note to the openec mailing list first.

Getting the source

The source is in the git repository OpenEC and can be browsed online there.

To get this code onto your machine please change to a newly created directory and do:

git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/projects/openec

While using the git to get the sources is recommended you can also download a tar file of the source: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/openec;a=snapshot;h=HEAD

Tools for OpenEc

git

source revision tool (recommended)

sdcc

Compiler sdcc 2.7.0 or later (needed) http://sdcc.sf.net (Compiler which generates the binary for the EC)

gcc

Compiler (optional for openec) the source is currently also compilable with GCC

doxygen

Source documentation tool (optional), http://www.doxygen.org

LaTeX

text tool (optional), needed if a pdf version of the documentation should be generated. A html version of the source documentation can be generated without LaTeX

Srecord

srecord (needed), http://srecord.sf.net, handling of hex (etc.) files (Version 1.36)

Make

(needed), GNU make, should be there anyway.

D52

Disassembler (optional), http://www.8052.com/users/disasm/ , generates disassembled file openec.d52

Download software

spiflash.dic (needed), see http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/openec/2007-August/000061.html . Forth software to download the EC firmware to the target. Be sure to backup the complete firmware (including manufacturing data) first

Hardware adapter

serial adapter (needed) http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Image:Serial_adapter.jpg Hardware adapter to download to target. Connects to CN24 and an RS232 null-modem cable (an additional oscillator is needed (66MHz(?) to CN24,Pin5)). Additional instructions are at SPI FLASH Recovery. (The instructions there address recovery of the complete flash)

Jumpers

2 jumpers for Recovery Mode jumper block (see above)

Null modem cable

(needed) to connect the serial adapter to a serial port

Serial port

(needed) Not all new PC and very few notebooks still have a serial port (an USB to serial adapter might be additionally needed then)

Terminal Software

minicom (recommended). Needed to see or capture debugging output. Parameters 115kBaud, 8N1, no handshake - other terminal programs can be used too.

Compiling on the host for the EC

If the necessary tools are installed it is a simple "make" inside the openec directory:

make

Listing files and a binary file currently named openec.do_not_use.bin are generated. (Intentionally no more details here about how to proceed:)

Compiling on the host for the host

Run make with an additional argument inside the openec directory:

make -f Makefile.gcc

you can then run

./openec.gcc | less

there. The EC specific hardware is not present on the host, so openec.gcc will be of limited use. Running openec.gcc on the host does not endanger the host:)

Status

Timer IRQ functional, blinks LEDs, decodes cursor keys, uart functional, dumps registers outputs (ec-dump.fth like), outputs status of internal state machines, reads temperature sensor, reads and outputs manufacturing data (B1), actively uses idle mode, reads and outputs data of the one-wire battery fuel gauge IC. Includes a monitor program that allows to read/write xdata Special Function Registers. Reacts on Power button but does not power up the XO yet.

Status is tested on B1 and B2, yet to confirm in newer versions of the XO.

Built-in monitor program

OpenEC includes a monitor program which allows to input/output data via the serial adapter connected to CN24. The commands of the monitor are subject to change.

? short list of the supported commands
b battery info (short)
B battery info (longer)
c temperature of the onboard sensor (celsius)
d dump mcs51 DATA and SFR memory
g dump xdata SFR (directly comparable to output of ec-dump.fth)
G dump GPIO SFR (human readable)
m set memory address (expects 2 or 4 hex digits
  (2 digits for DATA/SFR memory, 4 digits for xdata/code memory))
M set 64k memory page (expects 2 hex digits).
  Next 'm' will reset this again.
r reboot
s dump states
S dump states continuously (toggle ON/OFF)
w watchdog reset
+ increment address (and output contents of address)
- decrement address (and output contents of address)
= set content of address to (expects 2 hex digits)
  (Note: SFR and code memory is not written)
& bitwise and (expects 2 hex digits)
| bitwise or  (expects 2 hex digits)
<return> output contents of address

Monitor example: reading manufacturing data

The Manufacturing Data is located at 0x0effff and below. The monitor on the EC can be used to access the data.

; set address within 64k:

m ffff<return> ; set 64k page: M 0e<return> ; show topmost byte: <return> 0effff: 77 w ; show other bytes: - 0efffe: 77 w - 0efffd: 00

Monitor example: switching WLAN_EN

The voltage for the wlan module is switched by GPIO01 WLAN_EN. The module can be switched on/off with the monitor. Please double-check what you are doing. Switching SFR registers might damage the XO.

; set address

m fc20<return> ; setting bit 1 (WLAN led should light) | 02<return> ; clearing bit 1 (WLAN led should be off again) & fd<return>
