CC1352P7: BeagleConnect Freedom freezes if both PWM and IEEE802154 subg is used together

Hi Ayush,

What pins are the PWM outputs connected to?

Regards,

Arthur

MB1 PWM: DIO 17

MB2 PWM: DIO 19

I am using GPTimer 0 for MB1 PWM and GPTimer 1 for MB2 PWM by default, but I also tried switching to gptimer2 and gptimer3 and got the same results.

Here is the design spec: https://docs.beagleboard.org/boards/beagleconnect/freedom/03-design.html#cc1352p7

I am using the normal upstream devicetree so here are the links: 
- https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/main/boards/beagle/beagleconnect_freedom/beagleconnect_freedom.dts
- https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/main/boards/beagle/beagleconnect_freedom/beagleconnect_freedom-pinctrl.dtsi

Hi Ayush,

I have tested on the BeagleConnect with our "collector" example + the task from the "pwmled2" example, configured to use DIO17 and DIO19.

It all works as expected, no hang to be seen.

Do you have a way to run load the binary file generated by west into the CC1352P7 using CCS. That way, you could step through the code and see where it hangs.

Regards,

Arthur

I have a launchpad cc1352p1 with the xds110. I was also able to flash my bcf from CCS Theia connected over JTAG. 

I am having some difficulties using openocd though. I am using the openocd config from cc1352p7_launchpad. Here is the output I get:

```

Note: I am using openocd built from master which seems to contain the patches for cc1352p7.

Is there a way to maybe load and debug the Zephyr hex or elf or bin file from CCS Theia instead of going with openocd? I will also try to get openocd working in the time being.

Using Theia, in the "empty" project loaded from the SDK, you can press "Start Debugging":

which will then allow you to load an arbitrary binary file using the "Load" menu:

Wait a little bit, and the firmware should load. From there, you can issue a board reset:

Which will bring you to the beginning of a boot sequence.

Thanks for the instructions. I tried using it to walk the `echo_server` sample with `CONFIG_PWM=y` and well, I could not really understand where it hangs. The main function is executed in it's entirety so, the hang is probably happening either in a different thread, or something. Not really sure.

I also created an even minimal example to replicate it. Here is the prj.conf:

```

# nothing here
CONFIG_NETWORKING=y
CONFIG_NET_IPV4=n
CONFIG_NET_IPV6=y
CONFIG_NET_UDP=y
CONFIG_NET_TCP=y
CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS=y
CONFIG_ENTROPY_GENERATOR=y
CONFIG_TEST_RANDOM_GENERATOR=y

# Network buffers
CONFIG_NET_PKT_RX_COUNT=16
CONFIG_NET_PKT_TX_COUNT=16
CONFIG_NET_BUF_RX_COUNT=64
CONFIG_NET_BUF_TX_COUNT=64
CONFIG_NET_CONTEXT_NET_PKT_POOL=y

CONFIG_BT=n
CONFIG_NET_CONFIG_SETTINGS=y
CONFIG_NET_CONFIG_NEED_IPV6=y
CONFIG_NET_CONFIG_NEED_IPV4=n
CONFIG_NET_CONFIG_MY_IPV6_ADDR="2001:db8::1"
CONFIG_NET_CONFIG_PEER_IPV6_ADDR="2001:db8::2"
CONFIG_NET_CONFIG_MY_IPV4_ADDR=""
CONFIG_NET_L2_IEEE802154=y
CONFIG_NET_DHCPV4=n
CONFIG_NET_CONFIG_IEEE802154_CHANNEL=1

CONFIG_PWM=y

```

main.c:

```

#include <zephyr/kernel.h>

int main(void)
{
    while(1) {
        printk("Hello World!\n");
        k_msleep(5000);
    }

    return 0;
}

```

This program does not even seem to reach the `main`.

Hi Ayush,

The fact that it does not reach the main is an important clue. It could somehow be the interrupt vectors that got corrupted.

When you pause the execution, do you see any Cpu exception, or anything that could indicate that?

Regards,

Arthur

Hi Arthur

First pause is here: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/cmsis/blob/4b96cbb174678dcd3ca86e11e1f24bc5f8726da0/CMSIS/Core/Include/cmsis_gcc.h#L951

Here is the call stack:

```

__enable_irq() 0x00010C54cmsis_gcc.h951:3
arch_cpu_idle() 0x00010C54cpu_idle.c97:2
k_cpu_idle() 0x0000EBEAkernel.h5999:1
idle() 0x0000EBE6idle.c71:4
z_thread_entry() 0x0000119Akernel.h670:9

```

The second pause does not seem to be at any specific file. Here is the call stack:

```

__asm___11_driverlib_c_a91c79fe__CPUwfi + 0x2 () 0x1000060A

```

Any subsequent pause leads me to the same position, so this is probably the place of hang.

Hi Ayush,

Thanks for the info, but what about the exception register?

Do you see any of thoses? (Table is from the technical reference manual)

Regards,

Arthur

Hi, which register is the exception register?

In Core Registers -> xPSR -> Exception, the value is 0x00.

Here are all the core registers:

Ayush Singh

Hi Ayush,

I will try to reproduce the issue.

Arthur

Not sure what is going on, but your response regarding the CC1352P7 launchpad is not showing up here. The reson the `hello_world` minimal example I created works on launchpad works is because the base devicetree for launchpad does not enable pwm. So enabling `CONFIG_PWM=y` has no real effect.

Hi Ayush,

It seems like this is the case indeed. By the way, stepping through the driver initialization in Zephyr (ieee, and PWM) does not show any error there as well.

Regards,

Arthur

Hi Ayush,

Is there any update on that issue?

Regards,

Arthur

No, just tried the latest Zephyr but same result.

I have been a bit busy with some other stuff to try fixing this myself.
