Quick start guide

  • Baudrate - 926100, connect VCC33, GND, UART_TXD, UART_RXD can work
  • RDA - UNO91H Board Pin Mappin in GPIO_API.c, which used in demo code.

Software

  • AT Commands lists please see on this page RDA5981_AT

Install toolchain for mbedOS

Prerequests MDK > 5.15, python > 2.7

python --version
arm-none-eabi-gcc --version
pip --version
hg --version
pip install mbed-cli

futher toolchain for mbedOS

  • github page mbed-os general, not include target-RDA examples, basically not useful for this here - https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os,
  • Get SDK and code examples for RDA5981 from here.
  • Folder explaination
  1. WiFi Stack - Contents features / FEATURE_LWIP is WiFi Stack + LWIP for WLAN and TCP / IP networking.
  2. HAL - The directory hal / targets / TARGET_RDA is a hardware virtualization layer that includes the underlying drivers for each peripheral.
  3. RTX - Contents rtos is a CMSIS-RTOS RTX source code from ARM. It is a real-time operating system based on time slice and priority.
  4. Features - Directory Features / Some of the RDA5981 available under TARGET_RDA
  5. Test Cases - Table of Contents TESTS / TARGET_RDA contains several test cases for the RDA5981 that allow you to test peripherals and protocol stacks separately.

  • enter into mbedOS folder, this requirements are in mbedOS reqirement.txt file.
pip install -r requirements.txt
  • if someone falls in the "Couldn't find index page for 'setuptools_scm' (maybe misspelled?)" bug ... simple install it by: pip install setuptools_scm (reference link)
  • Set MDK ARMCC path for mbedOS
mbed config --global ARM_PATH C:\Keil_v5\ARM\ARMCC\   ---> get feedback --> [mbed] C:\Keil_v5\ARM\ARMCC\ now set as global ARM_PATH

First complier > test case > timer

  • command: mbed compile -m UNO_91H -t ARM --source TESTS/TARGET_RDA/timer/ --source ./
  • To recomplie again, need clean, otherwise will get error, to clean, simply add -c after above command
mbed compile -m UNO_91H -t ARM --source TESTS/TARGET_RDA/timer/ --source ./ -c
  • Explanation: -m MCU target, -t complier toolchain, --source source code directory -c clean before complie
  • compile in progress
