# xblink Development Guide
|
|
|
|
Embedded Rust firmware for a battery-free, NFC-powered LED implant. The NTAG5Link harvests energy from an NFC field and provides EEPROM storage for LED patterns. A SAMD21E MCU reads patterns from EEPROM, programs LP5562 execution engines, then sleeps while the LP5562 autonomously drives RGBW LEDs.
|
|
|
|
## Build Commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Build release firmware
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
|
|
# Flash via UF2 bootloader (XIAO M0: double-tap RST to enter bootloader)
|
|
cargo hf2 --release
|
|
|
|
# Auto-flash: watches for bootloader USB device, flashes when detected
|
|
./flash_when_ready.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Target
|
|
|
|
- Architecture: `thumbv6m-none-eabi` (ARM Cortex-M0+)
|
|
- Dev board: Seeed XIAO M0 (SAMD21G18A) — will port to bare SAMD21E18A later
|
|
- LED driver: LP5562EVM (TI evaluation module, RGBW, I2C addr 0x30)
|
|
- NFC: NTAG5Link Click board (MikroElektronika)
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
| Crate | Version | Purpose |
|
|
|-------|---------|---------|
|
|
| `xiao_m0` | 0.13 | Board support package (dev board phase) |
|
|
| `panic-halt` | 0.2 | Minimal panic handler for `no_std` |
|
|
| `cortex-m` | 0.7 | Cortex-M runtime, `critical-section-single-core` feature |
|
|
| `embedded-hal` | 1.0.0 | Hardware abstraction traits (I2C, GPIO, delay) |
|
|
|
|
When porting to bare SAMD21E: replace `xiao_m0` with `atsamd-hal = { version = "0.17", features = ["samd21e"] }` and add `cortex-m-rt = "0.7"`.
|
|
|
|
## Project Structure
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
src/
|
|
main.rs # Entry point: boot, pattern load, sleep/wake loop
|
|
led/
|
|
mod.rs # LP5562 re-exports (LedController trait added later, M10)
|
|
lp5562.rs # LP5562 driver (from ../ntag5-samd21-lp562/)
|
|
ntag5/ # NTAG5Link I2C slave driver (M4+)
|
|
pattern/ # Pattern format and engine builder (M5+)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Architecture Conventions
|
|
|
|
- **`no_std` only**: No heap allocation. Fixed-size arrays and stack-only data structures.
|
|
- **`embedded-hal` generics**: All hardware drivers must be generic over `embedded_hal::i2c::I2c` (1.0 traits). Never use concrete HAL types in driver code.
|
|
- **Hardware-first**: Get hardware working before extracting abstractions. Traits and formats are designed after hands-on experience, not before.
|
|
- **Error types**: Use `Error<E>` enum wrapping underlying I2C error with `From<E>` impl (see LP5562 driver pattern).
|
|
- **Register addresses**: Place in a `reg` submodule as `pub const` values.
|
|
- **`const fn`**: Prefer `const fn` where possible (see `EngineCommand` builder in LP5562 driver).
|
|
- **No `unsafe`**: Avoid unless absolutely necessary for hardware access.
|
|
|
|
## LP5562 Timing Constraints
|
|
|
|
The LP5562 driver does NOT enforce timing delays internally — the caller is responsible:
|
|
|
|
- **>= 500 us** after `enable()` before any other commands
|
|
- **>= 488 us** between consecutive ENABLE register writes (engine exec changes)
|
|
- **>= 153 us** between consecutive OP_MODE register writes (engine mode changes)
|
|
- When transitioning from Run, set exec to Hold first, then change mode
|
|
|
|
## Key I2C Addresses
|
|
|
|
Both devices share the same I2C bus (A4/A5). Non-conflicting addresses — no bus arbitration issues.
|
|
|
|
| Device | Address | Notes |
|
|
|--------|---------|-------|
|
|
| LP5562 | 0x30 | ADDR_SEL pins both low (LP5562EVM default) |
|
|
| NTAG5Link | 0x54 | Default NTP53x2 I2C slave address |
|
|
|
|
## NTAG5Link I2C Register Map (MCU-side)
|
|
|
|
The MCU accesses NTAG5Link as a standard I2C slave — plain register read/write, NOT the NFC-side ISO15693 custom commands used by the Python ntag5sensor tooling.
|
|
|
|
| Region | Address Range | Size | Notes |
|
|
|--------|--------------|------|-------|
|
|
| Session registers | 0x00-0x06 | 7 bytes | Volatile, runtime config |
|
|
| Configuration | 0x37-0x3F | Varies | Persistent, EEPROM-backed |
|
|
| EH config | 0x3D | 1 byte | Energy harvesting voltage/current |
|
|
| SRAM | 0xF8-0xFF | 256 bytes | 64 x 4-byte blocks, volatile |
|
|
| EEPROM user memory | blocks 0x00-0x1FF | 2048 bytes | 512 x 4-byte blocks |
|
|
|
|
Key config constants (from `../ntag5sensor/vicinity/ntag5link.py`):
|
|
- `CONFIG_1_USE_CASE_CONF_I2C_SLAVE = 0 << 4` — NTAG5 as I2C slave (our mode)
|
|
- `CONFIG_1_ARBITER_MODE_SRAM_PASSTHROUGH = 2 << 2` — SRAM pass-through for NFC↔I2C
|
|
- `CONFIG_1_SRAM_ENABLE = 1 << 1` — Enable SRAM access
|
|
- `CONFIG_0_EH_MODE_LOW_FIELD_STRENGTH = 2 << 2` — EH mode for phone NFC
|
|
|
|
## Hardware Wiring (Dev Board)
|
|
|
|
| XIAO Pin | Connection | Function |
|
|
|----------|------------|----------|
|
|
| A4 (SDA) | LP5562 SDA, NTAG5 SDA | Shared I2C data |
|
|
| A5 (SCL) | LP5562 SCL, NTAG5 SCL | Shared I2C clock |
|
|
| D0/A0 | LP5562 EN line (open-drain) | Wired-AND with hall sensor, pull-up to VCC |
|
|
| TBD (EIC) | Hall sensor output | EIC wake + wired-AND to LP5562 EN line |
|
|
| TBD (EIC) | NTAG5 FD pin | Field detect / SRAM write indication (EIC wake) |
|
|
|
|
**LP5562 EN wired-AND**: D0/A0 (open-drain) and hall sensor (open-drain, active-low) both connect to LP5562 EN with a 1M pull-up. Either can force EN low. Magnet kills LEDs at hardware level regardless of MCU state.
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
- **Hardware**: XIAO M0 + LP5562EVM + NTAG5Link Click (when jumpers available)
|
|
- **PCSC reader**: Use `../ntag5sensor/` Python tooling with ACR1552 reader
|
|
- **Phone NFC**: VivoKey RawNFC app for SRAM mailbox testing
|
|
- **Phone app**: DT NFC Identifier for basic tag info
|
|
