No, dipCoreF4 pinout will not change... I'm working on something which will maybe change STM pin assignation. but dip-40(48) will keep the same pinout and function.
Try to do not put any component in the dip40 area. It is possible that I add some feature and pin, somewhere in the alignment of 41-43 or 44-48.

Hi,

After some try, I'm able to use the second USB OTG, the USB_OTG_HS in full speed with the embedded FS phy.

The idea is to keep the USB_OTG_FS as it is in dual role with ID pin. And add the USB_OTG_HS in FS Host Only, to connect a B-device only.

It works fine for HID(Keyboard and Mouse), I will complete the classes with MSC(Mass Storage), maybe MIDI of course.

Here, MIOS Studio is connected in USB(normal one) and I plug a mouse first then a keyboard to the other USB:
( did this test with a modified wCore)
Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%202018-09
This is very difficult too implement on a mbhp disco or wCore cause the DP/DM pins are used for J8/9 SI/SO(PB14/PB15). BUT! I can do it on the dipCoreF4, by moving SI/SO on other alternate function pins.

=> Then like I said I will make some changes on the STM32F405 pins and on MIOS32 side. Add pins for DP/DM and Over-current/VBUS Drive GPIO of the second USB on the dip40(other extra pins).

Host%20Only.png?raw=1

And modify the dipBoardF4 for that purpose of course.

Have a good WE
Best Bruno

hey

i am working on a new project "Konga Trigga", and i want to reuse the DipCoreF4 for that again... since it is really handy :cheers:

i need 3 Digital Inputs (used as Trigger inputs  -  feedet with Schmitt-Trigger Digital Signals)

 

i dont want to connect them via a slow shift register - since it is trigger > it is time critical.

As far as i can see i can use J5.A0(PA1)  +  J5 A1(PC5) > and set them in Mios as Digital Input, makes 2

so only one Digital input left - is there any other Pin i can use as DIN? (LED.1, LED.0 for example?)

 

User.Butt (PA0) > is for Bootloader Switch  - maybe that one?

In mios32_config file add :

#define MIOS32_DONT_USE_IIC

and the pin of J4 will not be initialized as I2C.

Then initialize the pin as Input e.g. PB6

  GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStructure;
  GPIO_StructInit(&GPIO_InitStructure);
  GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;
  GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_6;
  GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_IN;
  GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_NOPULL;
  GPIO_Init(GPIOB, &GPIO_InitStructure);

Finally to get value:

u8 value = (u8)MIOS32_SYS_STM_PINGET(GPIOB, GPIO_Pin_6);

I will explain a bit more that part:

This J15 port is enough to connect multiple SPI oleds. Yes!

You can use CS1(RC), SDA(SO) and SCLK(SC) to connect some 595 registers in SPI, they will give you how much OLED CS lines you want...
SDA is the serial out and SCLK is your clock for your SPI chain and for the OLEDS. CS1 is your RC for the registers. DC is only connected to the Oleds. The thing is to connect all Output Enable pin(OE) of the registers to CS2(which is normally tied to ground on a DOUT module)
When you want to refresh the registers output(refresh your Oled CS lines) just put their output in High Impedance using OE(CS2) and the oleds will not receive any data cause they are not selected. Once the registers are refreshed, enable their outputs by putting CS2 high and send data or command to the OLEDS.

Hi,

I received the dipBoard32 and the modules this morning. dipCoreF4 takes much time to fab because it's a 4 layers.

Some small mistakes on the silkscreen but everything else seems fine :)

Fichier%2004-10-2018%2012%2057%2015.jpg?

The BOMs for dipCoreF4 and dipBoardF4 are now available on their respective dokuwiki.
The BOMs for the Modules are coming soon!

Best regards

Hello good Sunday,
Here it's raining a lot, I've got nothing to do outside...

Then I completed the BOMs:

BOM for dipCoreF4

BOM for dipBoardF4

BOM for USB module

BOM for External Power module

BOM for SD Card module

BOM for MCAN module

 

Note to the beta testers:

  • The 8MHz Quartz is not easy to find in this package(proprietary one), but I ordered some and I will put enough for you in the envelope.
  • Think about the IDC micromatch male connectors for your ribbons, I just listed the female sockets ;)

Best
Bruno

Hi David,

On 08/10/2018 at 3:22 PM, monokinetic said:

something like these, what do you think?

!? The link you put is a micro-match too ;)

For explanation about Ports connectors and Micro-Match.
First you can use regular Shrouded Male header on top side of dipBoardF4. Except for J1A and J1B.
61201421621.jpg

There's 4 types of Micro-Match used here, all 2 row, 1.27mm pitch:

PBC = Paddle Board Connector:
product-details.pngThey are used on Top side of the dipBoardF4, regular Shrouded header replacement for lower profile. J4, J5, J8/9, J11, J15, J16E, J18, J19

FOB = Female On Board:
product-details.png
For connecting USB Module, J1A top side of dipBoard4.....Used on Bottom side of the dipBoard to stack another board, J1B, J4, J5, J8/9, J11, J15, J16E, J18, J19.....All modules connectors are this type too.
MOB = Male On Board:
product-details.png
Used on top side of the stacked board which is under the dipBoardF4, J1B, J4, J5, J8/9, J11, J15, J16E, J18, J19
MOW = Male on Wire:
product-details.png
Used on Modules side of wire, and on dipboardF4 side of wire for J1A too.


Note: External power module is connected to USB module directly with J2A and J2B.


They are not expensive and there's a cheaper 'value-line' in black.
product-details.png

This is the only way I found to get the dipBoardF4 the more Modulable as possible.

Feel free to ask more question ;)

Bruno

Is there a way to have 4 midi IO with this 64pin version ?

Yes, there's 6 USART/UART in an STM32F407 or STM32F405. It's just a question of alternate functions available for the pins. Check this xls chart
It must be validate in MIOS32 code and must be some defines to add, it's maybe a good idea, the dual I2C ports could become 2 extra MIDI IO on the dipCoreF4. If it's really necessary.
Even if I didn't think it for that cause I wanted to use the two existing MIDI IO for other purpose than MIDI like WIFI for example. And obviously use the m16 as main MIDI interface for 16 IO.

change F105 to F405!!!

Ok, what i suppose is possible :)

Alternate mios32 to flip I2C to extra uart midi I/O is fine :happy:

I don't use optocoupler, but direct J11 connection (at 10x midi speed) in a design where 3 core (later 4) are linked together

Your design can potentially reduce a lot of space if I want to fit everything in a one U rack (now it's a 3U...)

Have a look on the MCAN if you want to put several cores on the same BUS and interconnect them.
it's between 15 and 25 times the regular midi speed and 16 virtual Ports.

You can use the MBNET interconnection diagram, if your cores are in the same enclosure you don't need transceiver but just one wire, with J18. The CAN interface will naturally transport MIDI, it's the MCAN
Let me know if you want to try it, I can provide you a beta version of the MIOS32 with this feature inside...

This is the list of the MIDI Ports available with the dipCoreF4, what I want, cause this is not tested yet.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Global Types
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//typedef enum {
  DEFAULT    = 0x00,
  MIDI_DEBUG = 0x01,

  USB0  = 0x10 ... USB7   = 0x17  	// 8 virtual ports max (1st OTG, is Device or Host)
  USB8  = 0x18 ... USB15   = 0x1f  	// 8 virtual ports max (2nd OTG, is Host only)

  UART0 = 0x20 ... UART1  = 0x21  	// 2 ports (J11)
  UART2 = 0x22 ... UART3  = 0x23	// 2 ports Option(J4 shared with IIC0 to IIC1)

  IIC0  = 0x30 ... IIC7   = 0x37	// 8 outputs ports (Outputs only, J4)

  OSC0  = 0x40 ... OSC7   = 0x47	// 8 virtual ports (e.g. Wifi on UART0)

  SPIM0 = 0x50 ... SPIM15 = 0x5f 	// 16 ports (m16 connected in SPI)

  MCAN0 = 0x60 ... MCAN15 = 0x6f 	// 16 virtuals ports (J18, CAN bus)

//} mios32_midi_port_t;

That's promising... is this new work around mios32 or did I miss this time ago ?

I'm in standby right now with all this (my fader automation, which work great by the way...) and busy at the studio, but definitely interested...

I'll come back to you when I have time, and if I'm not able to build mios32 by myself with all info at your link !

Zam

 

ps: how is the physical wiring around J18 for two or more cores ?

Have a look on J18 here: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_core_stm32f4.pdf
Interconnection is like this for MBNet: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid/mbsid_v2_communication.pdf

Last diagram is for PIC but it's the same.


fetch.php?media=antichambre:can_single_w

J18 is present on all Cores, Disco, wCore, you can already try it if use STM32F4 for your project, just 'one wire' ;)
... 2 wires(signal + ground).

Thanks a lot... I don't know how I miss this... single wire TX/RX it's perfect (my 0v is already shared by all cores)

Did you already try the max length of the cable ?

Is there some disadvantage compared to uart midi (direct J11 connection) with 10x speed at mios32, or only advantage?

latency etc...

Ok I stop here MBNet it's not the purpose of this topic :rolleyes:

First advantage, One core send a MIDI message all others receive it at the same time, there's no master, no slave ;) It's like a network.
All cores in the same box, you don't need transceiver and the 'one wire' bus for 4 cores will not exceed 40cm.
Extrnally, between 2 MIDIbox you will need transceivers(RJ11 MCAN Module). I tried 3 machines over 5m only, @2MBit/s with good ADSL cables it works without error. But speed can be reduced to win length and stability.
