The CircleOS Project
|
|
CircleOS is the multi-application operating system used in the different STM32 Primers. This 'Open source' project was initiated by Raisonance with the objective of providing an API to access both the hardware peripherals and the user interface. CircleOS also manages the MEMS accelerometer, the melody generator, the LCD display, the menu utility and the application launcher.
The source files
All CircleOS sources are available below, or via the project list. It is planned to make them available though a CVS server to facilitate management of evolutions with in the Circle community. The source files are common to both the STM32 Primer and the STM32 Primer2. However, different compile/link options generate different binary files. The online documentation of the API is generated with Doxygen using the code comments from the source files.
Compatibility
All proposed CircleOS evolutions must guarantee true ascending compatibility to be accepted. For example, the binary codes of "Maze: and "Breakout" (the very first applications for Primer1 and CircleOS) must run without any need to recompile the applications, on all versions of CircleOS for both Primer1 and Primer2.
However, applications that use the hardware resources of the STM32 directly do not require this same guaranty. For example, the USB port is not managed by CircleOS and applications that use it will need to be adapted from Primer1 to Primer2.
Evolution
CircleOS continues to evolve and improve thanks to the goodwill of our many users. Raisonance welcomes all suggestions and improvements that you may propose. From the needs currently expressed within the community, the following are priority projects that could benefit from your contributions:
- "File system" manager for the SD card
- Improved audio features (at the moment, the audio chip is used only at its minimal capabilities)

Description:Description
The STM32-Primer embeds the CircleOS operating system. It provides services that will help you develop your STM32-Primer applications:
- Application management,
- LCD graphic functions,
- Mems functions,
- LED,
- Buzzer and Push Button functions,
- Menu functions,
- Scheduler task,
- ...
The small footprint of CircleOS (only 22/128 KB) allows you to keep up to 104/384 KB for the applications. The list of the available applications is stored in a table (FAT) at the top of the memory used by CircleOS.
Each application is run by CircleOS when selected, has the full availability of the CPU and can use the entire RAM which is not used by CircleOS. It will be scheduled by the CircleOS with full privileges on the device, until it explicitly quits.
Installation
Unzip in the directory "[Ride7_INSTALL_DIR]\Lib\ARM"
Upgrade
The CircleOS upgrade files are available for Primer's and Evo Primer's as a download in Primer_upgrade.zip, Primer2_upgrade.zip, EvoPrimerSTM32E_upgrade.zip, EvoPrimerSTM32C_upgrade.zip, EvoPrimerSTM3240G_upgrade.zip, and EvoPrimerSTM32G_upgrade.zip
Documentation
The Doxygen CircleOS documentation is available online or as a download in this ZIP file .
Moreover, a work document describes the internal conception of CircleOS and the use of the API's .

Hi,
In the past we devoped some applications using the Circle v3.71 on the STM32Primer2 (STM32F103VET6). We'd like to make an evaluation about porting such application on the new STM32 E Open4 platform using the Circle v4.03. Is there any migration guide?
Thanks a lot for your feedback
Best regards
O.P.

I want to add my application to the Circle OS3.82, the steps are as follows: when the process ended, the app didn't work, but when I use Ride7 to debug and load the application,it works well.I wonder why? Thanks!

How exactly it "didn't work"?
You can't see application in the list? Make sure you included the correct FAT.elf file to your project.
You also didn't posted the full log. Maybe you have some problems with linking process.

I can see the application, and my application is to show "Hello world!" on the screen, When I use Ride7 to debug, it worked well, but when I use Circle_Mgr.exe to load the application, Although I can see the application, but when it run ,it shows nothing,and the Primer2 didn't response any operation!

Can i see your Init routine?
By the way Circle_mgr won't overwrite any applications already installed. So if you still having the same apllication table as in here - your application didn't install correctly.

Your application works fine on my PC: correctly installs and cotrrectly functions. Looks like it's problem with your circle_mgr.exe. Try updating the software.

I can't get the CircleOS 3.8 (nor 3.7) to build. The build fail on the very first c file compile ----------------Build Started: 'Circle' in configuration 'Standard'-------------------------- Building C:\Program Files\Raisonance\Ride\lib\ARM\circle\OS\circle_api.c Build failed
Without much details on the message hard to find what's wrongs.
I basicly unziped the package to "[Ride7_INSTALL_DIR]\Lib\ARM", open the projects with ride and tried to build i've tried both Circle.rprj or Primer2_Circle.rprj project same
May it be that i did install the latest ride7 (v 7.28.10.0075) + arm rkit (1.24.10.0050) directly from the web not using the old cd that was coming with the pimer2 ? Am certainly missing something obvious but what ? any help welcome

You should try unzipping CircleOS it somwhere else. You could introduce a fonflicd between existing CircleOS library files and new compiled ones. In your case it looks like GCC skips the file as already buit one. After you have succesfully built the CircleOS you can copy the .elf files to $(RIDE7)/lib/arm/circleos directory

void SysTickHandler( void ) __attribute__ ((interrupt ("IRQ")));

#ifdef PRIMER2 GPIO_WriteBit( GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_3, Bit_RESET ); // #endif ....
I think second GPIO write must be inside TIMING_ANALYSIS block.

Of course the right code should be :
void SysTickHandler( void ) { s32 i; #ifdef TIMING_ANALYSIS // to debug with a scope // Systic flag. #ifdef PRIMER1 GPIO_WriteBit( GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_6, Bit_RESET ); #else GPIO_WriteBit( GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_3, Bit_RESET ); // #endif #endif ....

Hello, We are trying to port Free RTOS on PRIMER2.
The Demo Program For Primer 2 is not working, Is there any H/W difference between Primer1 and Primer2 (Whether LCD is connected to the same Port.....?) Please help me?
