PACs for Texas Instruments Low Power RF microcontrollers

This repository contains Peripheral Access Crates (PACs) for TI's Low Power RF (LPRF) series of Cortex-M microcontrollers.

All these crates are automatically generated using svd2rust and tixml2svd.

Crates

Every device family within the LPRF chip series has its own PAC. A device family is how TI groups similar devices that share the same peripherals. In this naming scheme x is a wildcard. i.e. a CC2652 and CC1312 both belong to the cc13x2_26x2 family.

To prevent lots of repetition in the crates, there is one PAC per device family, not per device.

The PACs are listed below:

Warning: The cc13x2_26x2 PAC crate is named differently (note the missing cc before 26x2) due to the fact that other (non maintained) cc13x2_cc26x2 crates exist.

How it works

This repo tries to automate as much as possible using tixml2svd and svd2rust. This section seeks to describe how this repo is built.

To see how the code is organized, try running the command below

$ tree -L 2

This should give an output similar to below:

27 directories, 15 files

The creation of pacs from the input XML files is automated using tools/generate_pacs.py.

Input files

The input directory contains the device definition files from TI. They can be copied from a Code Composer Studio (CCS) installation.

The files within the Modules folder define the peripheral set of the devices in a TI XML format.

These files are used to generate svd files using tixml2svd.

The XML files within input/devices are hand maintained. They are based upon device families. One XML file within input/devices will produce one PAC.

Patches

The TI XML source doesn't contain interrupt defintions. So there are also hand maintained rust files that contain the needed code to define the interrupt vector table in Rust. These files are used to patch the generated lib.rs file. Ideally the SVD files would also be patched, but this is a bit more complex, so we use a simpler solution, for now.

Adding or Updating Devices

To update the source files, copy the Modules folder from <INSTALL_LOC>/ti/ccs<CCS_VER>/ccs/ccs_base/common/targetdb/ into input/Modules folder within this repository. <INSTALL_LOC> is the location you installed CCS. <CCS_VER> is the version of CCS you installed without any . or other delimiter so 12.2.0 becomes 1220.

1. Copy the files from CCS as described above
2. If adding a new device family, create a device family XML descriptor in input/devices/.
   • Tip: These can be copied from CCS <INSTALL_LOC>/ti/ccs<CCS_VER>/ccs/ccs_base/common/targetdb/devices.
   • Pick one device from your wanted family and copy it into the tree and rename it
3. If adding a new device family, create device_family_ints.rs where swapping device_family with the device family name.
   • For a hint, use the C file created by TI. It can be found in <TI_SDK>/source/ti/devices/<device_family>/inc/hw_ints.h.
4. Run cargo xtask generate
5. Update device.x based on the vector table you created in the last step
