<@firefrommoonlight:matrix.org> OK. Got the H7 Nucleo to play tones on my headphones by setting a timer that toggles the DAC output between a fixed value and 0. Next up: Sin waves, which from a google search, I think are done via LUTs for performance reasons
<re_irc>
<@firefrommoonlight:matrix.org> Probably using a timer to identify how far you are in a given cycle

<@mathias_koch:matrix.org> What is the easiest way to move the stack pointer back to a valid location in a Hardfault handler, when using flip-link and encountering a stack-overflow, in order to do a panic/log before rebooting? And is it possible without nightly?
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> the easiest way is to write to `msp` directly but am assuming the problem is figuring out a valid location with flip-link turned-on
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> as with flip-link turned-on the stack's upper bound is random
<Lumpio->
Is it not available as a linker symbol?
<re_irc>
<@mathias_koch:matrix.org> Couldn't i just put it anywhere within my valid stack, if my only goal is to do a log + system reset, and i no longer care about any other contents of the stack?
<Lumpio->
If you never plan to return again, you could probably do that.
<re_irc>
<@mathias_koch:matrix.org> That would be the plan
<Darius>
doing that means you would probably destroy your stack trace
<re_irc>
<@mathias_koch:matrix.org> i am using panic_persist, so the plan would be to just move the stack pointer to a valid location, and call an explicit panic
<Darius>
you could reserve some memory for an emergency stack
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> We're finally ready to go public with `rustBoot`. I think we have the design hashed-out but its still early days and there's a lengthy roadmap ahead. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to chime-in on the repo if you're interested in security.

<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> Congrats! One question though: "GPL2 or MIT" seems like a pretty big spread, license wise. Is it possible to use rustBoot without the GPL2 components?
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> (usually when I see "OR" in the license text, the user is free to choose either, but if core parts of the bootloader are GPL2, then I don't think it's possible for the user to choose MIT without violating the terms of GPL2)
emerent has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
emerent has joined #rust-embedded
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> afaik, we can, I managed to contain (pretty much) all of the derived work that rustBoot depends on in the `rustBoot_update` crate. So, barring that crate everything else shouldn't have conflicts if the user chooses to go either way.
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> but I'm no expert on licensing, is it better to avoid the dual-license option and pick one in this case (i.e. just go with GNU GPL v2.0)?
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> one more point - as MIT doesn't require modifications be open sourced whereas the GPL does - I thought I'd leave the option say if a user wants a way out
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> If you have it split out by crate like that, you can make the top level crate MIT, but the rustboot_update crate GPL.
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> that way if you have it as a transitive dependency, you'd know you definitely have GPL code
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> and it would be clear to the user they would have to rewrite/replace that crate if they wanted to avoid the gpl2 dependency.
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> In general: Once you link in gpl2 code into your binary: the whole binary is now gpl2 licensed.
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> I thiiiiiiink gpl2 has the dynamic linking exception? (maybe that's just lgpl2), which means if your bootloader is gpl2, and your app isn't, that's probably okay.
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> yeah the mix is somewhat weird, it means the whole can only be used under the GPL, unless you rewrite the GPL parts
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> but the bootloader itself would definitely by gpl2
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> dynamic linking exception is only LGPL yup
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> Does a GPL bootloader make the application GPL too?
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> if you ship them together as one binary.
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> (iirc)
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> it comes down to "distribution"
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> but honestly, not a lawyer here
<re_irc>
<@9names:matrix.org> MIT is Gpl compatible, so others can use the code as Gpl if they want as long as they also comply with MIT, which just means they provide the licence text and attribution
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> but I definitely know if you statically compile a gpl2 component into a binary (like a bootloader), then the whole binary is definitely gpl2.
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> and if that's a non-optional component of rustboot, rustboot should probably be gpl2. Though as I said, you could mark that by just making the crate component gpl2, and people should know if they have ANY transitive deps with gpl2 code, their binary should be gpl2
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> (you might get some grumpy people who only look at the top level deps and see MIT tho, but that's kind of on them, IMO)
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> If it's on a feature flag though, for example, and you note in the readme/features section that "activating the update feature includes gpl2 code", then that's pretty much the best you can do.
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> btw looking at GPL code and then implementing the same thing from scratch on your own doesn't make your code GPL
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> Now we are into opinions that are out of my pay grade :D
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> dirbaio:matrix.org: hmm, that's what I did
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> so if it's indeed written from scratch, "inspired by" some other code then you can just say it's MIT
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> but I always assumed that ports were considered derived works and the same licenses apply. If I understand you correctly, that's not true
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> 1:1 port into a new lang would be considered derived works, IIRC.
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> hmm
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> if it's c2rust-ed or something similar, sure
<re_irc>
<@jamesmunns:matrix.org> (dropping out, I'm just full of guesses now)
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> if it's new code from scratch implementing the same "algorithm" then no
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> an "algorithm" or "idea" can't be copyrighted, it can only be patented
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> if it's "ported" by having both programs open side by side and "translating" stuff manually then uhhhhh... grey area maybe??
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> it was the former, the `update logic` is functionally the same but its design is actually different (i.e. includes many of rust's ideas compile-time state-transition checks, sealed states etc. )
<re_irc>
<@9names:matrix.org> thats pretty safe then
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> yeah
<re_irc>
<@9names:matrix.org> honestly, there's very little likelyhood of enforcement action here anyway, but you do want to keep the lawyers away where possible
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> ok, that great news. yeah, I'd like to err on the side of caution. I'll have a chat internally and switch to the MIT license as that's what we were aiming for in first place.
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> dirbaio:matrix.org: - is there any language that I should include as a note in the repo to highlight this point - you know just in-case.
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> easy to confirm with a quick google of "algorithms copyright"
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> > Section 102 of the Copyright Act (title 17 of the U.S. Code) clearly expresses this principle: “In no case does copyright protection for an original work ofauthorship extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work.”
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> ie copyright (thus the GPL) applies to a particular piece of code, not to the algorithm/idea behind it
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> and anyway the "idea" of "let's have 2 flash partitions with some header to describe what's in each" is soooo widespread that you could've as well learned it from somewhere else
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> :D
<re_irc>
<@9names:matrix.org> there's certainly enough prior art that you could defeat a patent, but that's not the same as copyright law
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> well, I learnt something today. thanks! got to go be a lawyer for sometime 😇
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> IANAL though :D
<re_irc>
<@9names:matrix.org> i yeah i am definitely not a lawyer either, you should definitely talk to one if you need legal advice
<re_irc>
<@nihal.pasham:matrix.org> was just kidding. yep, will do but thank you for the info.
<re_irc>
<@mathias_koch:matrix.org> mathias_koch:matrix.org: Could anyone confirm, that this would indeed be a viable solution?
<re_irc>
<@mathias_koch:matrix.org> My naive idea would be something along the lines of
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> that'll set SP to 0x12345678
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> based on a similar thing I have on my firmware that does work, but the SP thing is untested
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> maybe you can get it to use the `_stack_start` from the linker script with something like `ldr sp, =_stack_start` or something, dunno the exact syntax
<re_irc>
<@mathias_koch:matrix.org> why the `#[cfg_attr(target_os = "none", link_section = ".HardFault.user")]`?
<re_irc>
<@mathias_koch:matrix.org> dirbaio:matrix.org: Is there any way to bring along the `frame: &::cortex_m_rt::ExceptionFrame` from the hardfault to `RealHardFault'?
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> Yes, just copy what the macro does
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> I think it's a ptr to the top of the stack or something
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> I don't know what happens to the frame if it's a stack overflow though
<re_irc>
<@dirbaio:matrix.org> The HW will fail to push it
<re_irc>
<@come_744:converser.eu> It seems the `interrupt` you want is equivalent to `cortex_m_rt::interrupt`
<re_irc>
<@mrbraindump:matrix.org> come_744:converser.eu: yes but in the doc it says "NOTE: This attribute is exposed by cortex-m-rt only when the device feature is enabled. However, that export is not meant to be used directly -- using it will result in a compilation error. You should instead use the device crate (usually generated using svd2rust) re-export of that attribute. You need to use the re-export to have the compiler check that...
<re_irc>
... the interrupt exists on the target device."
<re_irc>

<@lulf_:matrix.org> jorgeig: Hey, I'm looking into using rust-lorawan with stm32wl55 (though eventually in the context of using embassy as the PAC/HAL). newam mentioned you might already be working on something similar.

<re_irc>
<@jorgeig:matrix.org> I'm planning to, either at the end of this week or next week

<@mrbraindump:matrix.org> Could it be that there is no dependecy to the rt feature in this crate? The crate is a year old and could be deprecated in cause of some cahnges

<re_irc>
<@mrbraindump:matrix.org> newam:matrix.org: give me a second.
<re_irc>
<@mrbraindump:matrix.org> newam:matrix.org: the processor i want to work it on is a m0+, does that still work with that target?
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> Compiles with `cargo build --target thumbv6m-none-eabi` as well, I just made a (bad) assumption about the target 😇
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> Just note it does not compile if you just do `cargo build` since it tries to link symbols that `x86_64- ...` doesn't like.
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> You can change the default build target in `.cargo/config.toml` if you would like.
<re_irc>
<@mrbraindump:matrix.org> ah i see, thank you very much!
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> no problem, glad I could help! The compiler messages for that problem are difficult to sort out.

<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> I'll open a pull request so you can do that.

<@mrbraindump:matrix.org> newam:matrix.org: nice that worked :)
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> For reference, the way to do that without a pull request is `git pull https://github.com/newAM/rust-blink.git` which is roughly equivalent to a `git merge <branch>` but using a different repository instead of a different branch.

<@barafael:matrix.org> I am getting linker errors with this cargo workspace... I feel like I have seen that before, but I can't solve it myself. Anyone could take a look?
<re_irc>
<@barafael:matrix.org> the last error line I have is "cannot find linker script memory.x"
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> I think for a workspace the `.cargo/config.toml` must go in the root (I am not sure about that - I may be wrong).
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> if you need separate `memory.x`'s I think you have to use `build.rs` scripts.
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> Though it looks like they are different targets, so you may be able to get away with `.cargo/config.toml` with condition `memory.x's` for each target
<re_irc>
<@barafael:matrix.org> same targets, just one crate is a lib
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> gotcha, yeah, just moving `.cargo/config.toml` to the root should make it work then (I hope)
<re_irc>
<@barafael:matrix.org> nope, don't think so
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> oh, and the `memory.x` would have to be in the root too then
<re_irc>
<@barafael:matrix.org> ah ok, perhaps I should move the lib project out of the workspace? I am starting to think this doesn't need to be a workspace anyway
<re_irc>
<@barafael:matrix.org> moving the memory.x to top made it compile - nice, thanks!
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> Generally I would say keep it in a workspace, it allows you for flexibility when it comes to testing.
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> workspaces are handy, they're just a big difficult to work with for embedded.
<re_irc>
<@barafael:matrix.org> argh, one project uses defmt + rtt + rtic, but that needs a different linker file. Don't know...
<re_irc>
<@newam:matrix.org> You can include `defmt` and use the features to disable the logging so that linking `defmt.x` works for all targets.
<re_irc>
<@barafael:matrix.org> hmm, nice
<re_irc>
<@barafael:matrix.org> thanks for your help!
