The EventQueue thread in LoRaMac.cpp is disbanded and the LoRaWAN
protocol is redesigned to store a pointer for an application
provided EventQueue. It means that now the stack runs in the
same thread as application. Application provided EventQueue is used
to defer ISRs from radio driver and timer callbacks as well as the
application events are queued to the same event loop.
This class is the doorway for the user application into the
Mbed-OS implementation of LoRaWAN protocol. It implements LoRaWANBase
and hence would work with any stack implementation underneath, ensuring
seemless portability for applications.
It takes a pre-constructed object of LoRaRadio and delegates it in the
downward direction. Before calling connect() user must call initialize() function
in order to initialize stack and mac layers.
connect() APIs can be used to either provide relevent keys and connection method at
runtime or compile time (using Mbed config system).
enable_adaptive_datarate() and disable_adaptive_datarate() are used to turn on/off
automatic rate control. Otherwisem set_datarate() could be used to set a particular
data rate on the current channel.
set_confirmed_msg_retries() is valid only for CONFIRMED messages. It means that the stack will
retry for a given number of times before timing out.
set_channel_plan() and get_channel_plan() are used to set or get a particular channel plan.
These APIs are particularly useful in case of ABP (activation by personalization). Because
in case of OTAA(over the air activation), by default the stack takes in a CF List (carrier frequency list)
sent by the base station in conjunction with Network server. This list overwrites all user configured
channels or channel plan. set_channel_plan() can be used to set a single channel as well by setting the
parameter for number of channels to 1.
remove_channel_plan() or remove_channel() are used to remove a currently active channel plan or a specific
channel.
send() and receive() APIs follow posix design except the socket descriptor is replaced with port number here.
lora_event_callback() API is used to set a callback function from the application side which is used by the stack
to inform user of particular events like CONNECTED, DISCONNECTED, CRYPTO_FAILURE, TX_TIMEOUT etc.
LoRaWANStack class is our controller layer on top of our
current MAC and PHY layer. It provides services to an implementation
of LoRaWANBase class.
It is a singleton class owing to the fact that the mac layer underneath
is not a class object. Instead, it uses the MAC via setting mib, mlme, mcps
requests and getting responses back from the mac layer using confirmations and
indications.
In essense this class is a special handle for
mac layer underneath which is predominantly reference design based.
In future we may refactor the LoRaMac.cpp code to make it object oriented
and cleaner.
At one end, it binds the application selected radio driver with the PHY layer
and at the other end it provides services to upper layers handling the mac via
well defined APIs.
For proper selection of a PHY layer, user must use Mbed config system.
For this purpose an mbed_lib.json is provided which can be overriden by the
user defined mbed_app.json. By default the EU868 band is selected as a PHY layer.
User must set relevant keys for the selected connection mechanism.
The actual mac algorithms are being used as it is in the reference
implementation.
We introduce an internal class that starts a thread and constructs an event queue
to handle deffered calls from interrupt context for RTOS. The code base is
compatible with Mbed-OS 2 as well.
GetPhyEventHandlers() API provides mac callback funtions for PHY layer,
which are in turn delegated to radio driver from the PHY layer.
LoRaMacInitialization() is augmented with LoRaPHY parameter which let's
the MAC layer know which particular PHY layer is in use.
LoRaMacSetTxTimer() and LoRaMacStopTxTimer() are used when duty cycle is
off for testing purpose or to support custom application timers.
If the duty cycle is off, mac and phy layer work togather to figure
out the next possible transmission time.
LoRaMacCrypto APIs are provided which provide seemless integration of
mbedTLS into mac layer for cryptography. User application is supposed to
provide proper mbedTLS configuration file.
All other APIs are retained as it is.
LoRaPHY is the abstract class for the LoRa PHY layer which governs
the LoRaRadio and provides some common functionality to all regional
implementations.
We support 10 regions and every region comes loaded with default parameters.
These parameters can be changed by the Mac layer or explicitely by the stack
controller layer using APIs provided. This layer in essence detaches Mac completely
from PHY and provides more modular approach to the entire system.
Apart from class structure, the internal functionality is directly deduced from
semtech reference implementation that's why most of the internal data structures are
used on 'as is' basis.
In addition to that, the PHY layer provides APIs to control the LoRaRadio layer, i.e.,
the lora radio driver, ensuring that the radio is accessed from a single entry point.
A seperate data structure file is added which is common to PHY layers only.
All network interfaces for LoRaWAN protocol must implement this
class. In order to be compatible with Mbed-OS applications, any
implementation of this class must use the data structures and
Mbed-OS timers provided.
lorawan_data_structures may look repetitive but this is essential
as we have a plan to use a reference implementation for LoRaWAN mac
layer from Semtech. Some of the data structures provide seemless
transition from semtech implementation (as MAC layer) to the Mbed-OS
control layers above.
features/lorawan/lorastack is the placeholder for future items like mac and
phy layers. system/ will contain all the common bits.
All Mbed-OS drivers for LoRa radio devices must implement
this pure virtual class in order to be compliant with Mbed-OS
applications.
This class comes loaded with all necessary data structures.
The implementations of this class can come out of tree.
Rather than tracking all in-flight blocks blocks during a lookahead,
littlefs uses an ack scheme to mark the first allocated block that
hasn't reached the disk yet. littlefs assumes all blocks since the
last ack are bad or in-flight, and uses this to know when it's out
of storage.
However, these unacked allocations were still being populated in the
lookahead buffer. If the whole block device fits in the lookahead
buffer, _and_ littlefs managed to scan around the whole storage while
an unacked block was still in-flight, it would assume the block was
free and misallocate it.
The fix is to only fill the lookahead buffer up to the last ack.
The internal free structure was restructured to simplify the runtime
calculation of lookahead size.
We currently don't have a mechanism for selecting tests based on the
available ram/heap, so the best solution right now is to disable these
tests specifically for this target.
Documentation states that nsapi_dns_query_multiple returns the number of
addresses found on success - it was returning 0.
Overloads using SocketAddress are relying on the return value, meaning
those calls didn't work at all.

Only clear the USB read buffer when endpointRead is called. This
allows data to be read with endpointReadResult without also allowing
USB to transfer more data. Instead additional data is transferred explicitly
with a call to endpointRead.
If a SETUP packet arrives shortly after an IN then the packets will be
processed in the wrong order - SETUP first then IN. This causes
the subsequent control transfer to fail. Fix this problem by processing
IN packets before processing SETUP packets.
Make the following improvements and fixes:
1.
Update the Kinetis USB driver so that endpointReadResult only reads the
result of the last read and does not trigger a new read. Instead
move the code to trigger new reads into endpointRead.
2.
Fix the race condition in controlIn caused by a call to
EP0read() followed immediately by EP0readStage(). This is done by
setting up to read the next setup packet (ignoring the status stage)
in endpointReadResult rather than in EP0readStage. This makes the
function EP0readStage unnecissary.
3.
Remove the Kinetis workaround in controlOut in USBDevice.cpp since
point 2 fixes this bug. For more info on this see the PR which
added this workaround - https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/414
The ISTAT register is write 1 to clear. Because of this ORing this
register with itself fill clear all bits that are set. This patch
updates the code to use plain assignment so only desired
bit is cleared.
Attach callbacks with the assignment operator rather than with the
deprecated attach function. This fixes deprecation warnings.
This patch also adds the ability to attach a Callback directly.
The local static initialization in USB was causing multiple problems:
-Configurable descriptor values are set only once
-USB descriptor initialization causes a trap in debug builds since
this is acquiring a mutex in an interrupt handler
-Extra ram used since all descriptors are in RAM
This patch fixes these problems by making fixed descriptors
static const so they are stored in flash and never need to be
initialized and by making descriptors that do change a member
of the class so they are always initialized when requested
rather than once though lazy static local initialization.

"The error code 4.13 (Request Entity Too Large) can be returned at any
time by a server that does not currently have the resources to store
blocks for a block-wise request payload transfer that it would intend
to implement in an atomic fashion. (Note that a 4.13 response to a
request that does not employ Block1 is a hint for the client to try
sending Block1, and a 4.13 response with a smaller SZX in its Block1
Option than requested is a hint to try a smaller SZX.)
Add support for recently introduced NSAPI generic socket options to
control group membership. Previously applications using Nanostack would
have had to use Nanostack's native socket options.
deepikabhavnani did the hard work in tracking this issue down. Block
addresses are not cast to the correct type until after multiplying to
convert to byte addresses. This results in an overflow when the storage
is larger than 4 GB.
FATFilesystem declares sector count and size as uint32_t and block
device class arguments are addr and size which is uint64_t
While passing arguments to program/read/write API's of block device,
multiplication of uint32_t*uint32_t was not typecasted properly to
uint64_t which resulted in MSB truncation.
Eg. If block 0x800000 is accessed with block size 0x200, addr to be
passed (0x800000*0x200)0x100000000, but actual address passed was 0x0
which resulted in over-writting the root directory, and hence corrupted
filesystem
In the open call, the LFS_O_TRUNC flag was correctly zeroing the file, but
it wasn't actually writing the change out to disk. This went unnoticed because
in the cases where the truncate was followed by a file write, the
updated contents would be written out correctly.
Marking the file as dirty if the file isn't already truncated fixes the
problem with the least impact. Also added better test cases around
truncating files.
I added the function declarations of Ethernet functions that have a WEAK attribute. Although several Ethernet functions was called in rza1_emac.c, GR-LYCHEE don't have Ethernert feature. But there may be case that GR-LYCHEE uses LWIP feature.
In this case, since GR-LYCHEE will occur the build error, I addressed the error by defining the functions with a WEAK attribute. For reason of WEAK attribute, there is no influence in GR-PEACH and VK_RZ_A1H that have Ethernet feature.
A COMMON folder allows code reuse across different test cases. This
avoids code duplication or code enterying the application space.
The COMMON folder is uppercase to match naming conventions in Mbed OS.
