I am now working with Nano BLE 33 Sense. I want to check how much of the SRAM the code is using, during each runtime. In my code, I simply define an array that is going to store the analog signal coming from a sensor. I used the ways that are discussed in the following links to track memory usage during runtime.
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/solved-measure-free-sram-of-nano-33-ble-sense-at-runtime/697716
Checking memory footprint in Arduino
https://learn.adafruit.com/memories-of-an-arduino/measuring-free-memory
However, when I change the array size from 100 units to 1000 the SRAM and flash usage do not change in any of the solutions provided above. Also, here is my code in Arduino IDE:
namespace
{
constexpr int ECGBufferSize = 10;
int counter = 0;
int16_t ECG_buffer[ECGBufferSize];
}
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
int hello[10] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10};
while(counter < ECGBufferSize)
{
ECG_buffer[counter] = analogRead(A7);
counter++;
Serial.print(counter);
Serial.print("\n");
delay(5);
}
counter = 0;
delay(10000);
}
Please help me to find the correct way to track the memory usage of my Nano BLE 33 Sense.

I'm trying to write 4 uint32's of data into the flash memory of my STM32F767ZI so I've looked at some examples and in the reference manual but still I cannot do it. My goal is to write 4 uint32's into the flash and read them back and compare with the original data, and light different leds depending on the success of the comparison.
My code is as follows:
void flash_write(uint32_t offset, uint32_t *data, uint32_t size) {
FLASH_EraseInitTypeDef EraseInitStruct = {0};
uint32_t SectorError = 0;
HAL_FLASH_Unlock();
EraseInitStruct.TypeErase = FLASH_TYPEERASE_SECTORS;
EraseInitStruct.VoltageRange = FLASH_VOLTAGE_RANGE_3;
EraseInitStruct.Sector = FLASH_SECTOR_11;
EraseInitStruct.NbSectors = 1;
//EraseInitStruct.Banks = FLASH_BANK_1; // or FLASH_BANK_2 or FLASH_BANK_BOTH
st = HAL_FLASHEx_Erase(&EraseInitStruct, &SectorError);
if (st == HAL_OK) {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i += 4) {
st = HAL_FLASH_Program(FLASH_TYPEPROGRAM_WORD, FLASH_USER_START_ADDR + offset + i, *(data + i)); //This is what's giving me trouble
if (st != HAL_OK) {
// handle the error
break;
}
}
}else {
// handle the error
}
HAL_FLASH_Lock();
}
void flash_read(uint32_t offset, uint32_t *data, uint32_t size) {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i += 4) {
*(data + i) = *(__IO uint32_t*)(FLASH_USER_START_ADDR + offset + i);
}
}
int main(void) {
uint32_t data[] = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'};
uint32_t read_data[] = {0, 0, 0, 0};
HAL_Init();
SystemClock_Config();
MX_GPIO_Init();
flash_write(0, data, sizeof(data));
flash_read(0, read_data, sizeof(read_data));
if (compareArrays(data,read_data,4))
{
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_7,SET);
}
else
{
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_14,SET);
}
return 0;
}
The problem is that before writing data I must erase a sector, and when I do it with the HAL_FLASHEx_Erase(&EraseInitStruct, &SectorError), function, the program always crashes, and sometimes even corrupts my codespace forcing me to update firmware.
I've selected the sector farthest from the code space but still it crashes when i try to erase it.
I've read in the reference manual that
Any attempt to read the Flash memory while it is being written or erased, causes the bus to
stall. Read operations are processed correctly once the program operation has completed.
This means that code or data fetches cannot be performed while a write/erase operation is
ongoing.
which I believe means the code should ideally be run from RAM while we operate on the flash, but I've seen other people online not have this issue so I'm wondering if that's the only problem I have. With that in mind I wanted to confirm if this is my only issue, or if I'm doing something wrong?
In your loop, you are adding multiples of 4 to i, but then you are adding i to data. When you add to a pointer it is automatically multiplied by the size of the pointed type, so you are adding multiples of 16 bytes and reading past the end of your input buffer.
Also, make sure you initialize all members of EraseInitStruct. Uncomment that line and set the correct value!
I am not really familiar with programming in STM32. I am using the micro controller STM32F303RE.
I am receiving data via a UART connection with DMA.
Code:
HAL_UARTEx_ReceiveToIdle_DMA(&huart2, RxBuf, RxBuf_SIZE);
__HAL_DMA_DISABLE_IT(&hdma_usart2_rx, DMA_IT_HT);
I am writing the value into a Receiving Buffer and then transfer it into a main buffer. This function and declaration is down before the int main(void).
#define RxBuf_SIZE 100
#define MainBuf_Size 100
uint8_t RxBuf[RxBuf_SIZE];
uint8_t MainBuf[MainBuf_Size];
void HAL_UARTEx_RxEventCallback(UART_HandleTypeDef *huart,uint16_t Size){
if( huart -> Instance == USART2){
memcpy (MainBuf, RxBuf, Size);
HAL_UARTEx_ReceiveToIdle_DMA(&huart2, RxBuf, RxBuf_SIZE);
}
for (int i = 0; i<Size; i++){
if((MainBuf[i] == 'G') && (MainBuf[i+1] == 'O')){
RecieveData();
HAL_UART_DMAStop(&huart2);
}
}
}
I receive know the data into a buffer and it stops as soon as "GO" is transmitted. Until this point it is working. The function ReceiveData() should then transform this buffer to the variables. But it isn't working for me.
Now I want to transform this received data with "breakpoints" into variables.
So I want to send: "S2000S1000S1S10S2GO".
I always have 5 variables. (in this case: 2000, 1000, 1, 10, 2) I want to read the data out of the string and transform it into an uint16_t to procude. The size/ length of the variables could be changed. That's why I tried to use like some breakpoint.
It is my first attempt to implement recursion with CUDA. The goal is to extract all the combinations from a set of chars "12345" using the power of CUDA to parallelize dynamically the task. Here is my kernel:
__device__ char route[31] = { "_________________________"};
__device__ char init[6] = { "12345" };
__global__ void Recursive(int depth) {
// up to depth 6
if (depth == 5) return;
// newroute = route - idx
int x = depth * 6;
printf("%s\n", route);
int o = 0;
int newlen = 0;
for (int i = 0; i<6; ++i)
{
if (i != threadIdx.x)
{
route[i+x-o] = init[i];
newlen++;
}
else
{
o = 1;
}
}
Recursive<<<1,newlen>>>(depth + 1);
}
__global__ void RecursiveCount() {
Recursive <<<1,5>>>(0);
}
The idea is to exclude 1 item (the item corresponding to the threadIdx) in each different thread. In each recursive call, using the variable depth, it works over a different base (variable x) on the route device variable.
I expect the kernel prompts something like:
2345_____________________
1345_____________________
1245_____________________
1234_____________________
2345_345_________________
2345_245_________________
2345_234_________________
2345_345__45_____________
2345_345__35_____________
2345_345__34_____________
..
2345_245__45_____________
..
But it prompts ...
·_____________
·_____________
·_____________
·_____________
·_____________
·2345
·2345
·2345
·2345
...

I may not articulate every problem with your code, but these items should get you a lot closer.
I recommend providing a complete example. In my view it is basically required by Stack Overflow, see item 1 here, note use of the word "must". Your example is missing any host code, including the original kernel call. It's only a few extra lines of code, why not include it? Sure, in this case, I can deduce what the call must have been, but why not just include it? Anyway, based on the output you indicated, it seems fairly evident the launch configuration of the host launch would have to be <<<1,1>>>.
This doesn't seem to be logical to me:
I expect the kernel prompts something like:
2345_____________________
The very first thing your kernel does is print out the route variable, before making any changes to it, so I would expect _____________________. However we can "fix" this by moving the printout to the end of the kernel.
You may be confused about what a __device__ variable is. It is a global variable, and there is only one copy of it. Therefore, when you modify it in your kernel code, every thread, in every kernel, is attempting to modify the same global variable, at the same time. That cannot possibly have orderly results, in any thread-parallel environment. I chose to "fix" this by making a local copy for each thread to work on.
You have an off-by-1 error, as well as an extent error in this loop:
for (int i = 0; i<6; ++i)
The off-by-1 error is due to the fact that you are iterating over 6 possible items (that is, i can reach a value of 5) but there are only 5 items in your init variable (the 6th item being a null terminator. The correct indexing starts out over 0-4 (with one of those being skipped). On subsequent iteration depths, its necessary to reduce this indexing extent by 1. Note that I've chosen to fix the first error here by increasing the length of init. There are other ways to fix, of course. My method inserts an extra _ between depths in the result.
You assume that at each iteration depth, the correct choice of items is the same, and in the same order, i.e. init. However this is not the case. At each depth, the choices of items must be selected not from the unchanging init variable, but from the choices passed from previous depth. Therefore we need a local, per-thread copy of init also.
A few other comments about CUDA Dynamic Parallelism (CDP). When passing pointers to data from one kernel scope to a child scope, local space pointers cannot be used. Therefore I allocate for the local copy of route from the heap, so it can be passed to child kernels. init can be deduced from route, so we can use an ordinary local variable for myinit.
You're going to quickly hit some dynamic parallelism (and perhaps memory) limits here if you continue this. I believe the total number of kernel launches for this is 5^5, which is 3125 (I'm doing this quickly, I may be mistaken). CDP has a pending launch limit of 2000 kernels by default. We're not hitting this here according to what I see, but you'll run into that sooner or later if you increase the depth or width of this operation. Furthermore, in-kernel allocations from the device heap are by default limited to 8KB. I don't seem to be hitting that limit, but probably I am, so my design should probably be modified to fix that.
Finally, in-kernel printf output is limited to the size of a particular buffer. If this technique is not already hitting that limit, it will soon if you increase the width or depth.
Here is a worked example, attempting to address the various items above. I'm not claiming it is defect free, but I think the output is closer to your expectations. Note that due to character limits on SO answers, I've truncated/excerpted some of the output.

========= ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors

The answer given by Robert Crovella is correct at the 5th point, the mistake was in the using of init in every recursive call, but I want to clarify something that can be useful for other beginners with CUDA.
I used this variable because when I tried to launch a child kernel passing a local variable I always got the exception: Error: a pointer to local memory cannot be passed to a launch as an argument.
As I´m C# expert developer I´m not used to using pointers (Ref does the low-level-work for that) so I thought there was no way to do it in CUDA/c programming.
As Robert shows in its code it is possible copying the pointer with memalloc for using it as a referable argument.
Here is a kernel simplified as an example of deep recursion.
__device__ char init[6] = { "12345" };
__global__ void Recursive(int depth, const char* route) {
// up to depth 6
if (depth == 5) return;
//declaration for a referable argument (point 6)
char* newroute = (char*)malloc(6);
memcpy(newroute, route, 5);
int o = 0;
int newlen = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < (6 - depth); ++i)
{
if (i != threadIdx.x)
{
newroute[i - o] = route[i];
newlen++;
}
else
{
o = 1;
}
}
printf("%s\n", newroute);
Recursive <<<1, newlen>>>(depth + 1, newroute);
}
__global__ void RecursiveCount() {
Recursive <<<1, 5>>>(0, init);
}
I don't add the main call because I´m using ManagedCUDA for C# but as Robert says it can be figured-out how the call RecursiveCount is.
About ending arrays of char with /0 ... sorry but I don't know exactly what is the benefit; this code works fine without them.
I am making a simple Led program that will be turned into a library for my project. I have created four methods that will allow you to A) Setup as many Led pins as you want and make them as Outputs. B) Flash the Led lights at a customized time. C) Turn On Leds. D) Turn Off Leds. Everything is working if i just run the methods in the void loop(). For example:
Void loop(){
flashLed(pinNum, 2000);
turnOf(pinNum);
turnOn(pinNum);
}
If i run the above code it works fine, however it keeps looping as its obviously in a loop. So i decided to start the serial com by using Serial.begin(9600) in the setup(), and then testing for the serial com and used a switch case statement in order to appropriately implement these methods. What am i doing wrong here? i get no errors at all. When i type into the serial monitor nothing happens, i believe my logic is fine but that is why i am here. When anything is typed into the serial monitor, the code runs the default in the switch case statement and that is all. I have tried using while, if to no avail. Also tested the inverse of serial which would be !serial.available() Here is my code:
//Define the pin numbers
byte pinNum[] = {4, 3, 2};
void setup() {
//Setup the ledPins
ledSetup(pinNum);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
while(Serial.available() > 0){
//Read the incoming byte
byte ledStatus = Serial.read();
switch (ledStatus){
case 0:
turnOff(pinNum);
Serial.println("The Leds Have Been Turned Off");
break;
case 1:
turnOn(pinNum);
Serial.println("The Leds Have Been Turned On");
break;
case 2:
flashLed(pinNum, 1000); //This will make the Led blink for half a second
Serial.println("The Leds Will Begin Flashing");
break;
default:
flashLed(pinNum, 1000); //This will make the Led blink for half a second
break;
}
}
}
//Method to declare the pins as output
void ledSetup(byte ledPins[]){
for (int i = 0; i <= sizeof(ledPins); i++){
pinMode(ledPins[i], OUTPUT);
}
}
//Method to blink the Led light/lights
void flashLed(byte ledBlink[], int duration){
//Time is divided by two because it takes 2 seconds
//to run the sketch
for (int i = 0; i <= sizeof(ledBlink); i++){
digitalWrite(ledBlink[i], HIGH);
delay(duration/2);
digitalWrite(ledBlink[i], LOW);
delay(duration/2);
}
}
//Method to turn Leds off
void turnOff(byte ledOff[]){
for(int i = 0; i <= sizeof(ledOff); i++){
digitalWrite(ledOff[i], LOW);
}
}
//Method to turn Leds On
void turnOn(byte turnOn[]){
for (int i = 0; i <= sizeof(turnOn); i ++){
digitalWrite(turnOn[i], HIGH);
}
}
The serial monitor sends symbols encoded in the ASCII format.
e.g. when you enter 0, Serial.read() returns 48, which is the ASCII code for digit 0. Since the value 48 is not listed in the following cases, the default branch is taken:
case 0: ...
case 1: ...
case 2: ...
default: ...
There are many solutions to your problem.
1. change case conditions to match what you are sending:
case '0': ...
case '1': ...
case '2': ...
2. replace Serial.read() with Serial.parseInt():
int ledStatus = Serial.parseInt();
This will actually work with more general inputs, e.g. 123, but it will return 0 if there is anything different from a digit in the input buffer.
3. wrap Serial.read() within atoi():
byte ledStatus = atoi(Serial.read());
This is somewhat more limited than both of previous options, since now you can only have 10 cases in your switch.
I am currently working on a 3D-printer like project where I have to control 3 stepper drivers using SPI from a PcDuino. There a very few examples and only a bad documentation out there describing what I am looking for. It seems the preinstalled API does not support multiple slaves, but if I am understanding it correctly I just have to add more CS lines and control them my self?
Is there anything else to take care of and how long do I need to hold the CS low while sending or receiving data?
(Well I guess receiving is no problem as it is on another line anyway)
Turned out to be quiet easy:
Just have to select, transfer and deselect.
No sleep or waiting needed.
Select and deselect have to be done using the pin devices api,
so you can use as many slaves as you have free pins.
Example implementation:
void GPIOpin::set(FILE* fd, size_t value) {
char buffer[4];
memset(buffer, 0, 4);
sprintf(buffer, "%d", value);
fseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET);
fwrite(buffer, 1, 4, fd);
fflush(fd);
}
bool SPI::transfer(size_t slaveIndex, uint8_t* buffer, uint64_t size) const {
if(!handle) return false;
struct spi_ioc_transfer transfer;
memset(&transfer, 0, sizeof(transfer));
transfer.len = 1;
for(size_t i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
slaveCS[slaveIndex].setValue(0);
transfer.tx_buf = transfer.rx_buf = (uint64_t)&buffer[i];
if(ioctl(handle, SPI_IOC_MESSAGE(1), &transfer) != transfer.len)
return false;
slaveCS[slaveIndex].setValue(1);
}
return true;
}
Complete code:
https://github.com/Lichtso/PrismCNC/tree/master/backend
Only difficulty: The master has to deselect and reselect the slave for each byte transferred. (but this could be a issue of the slave chips, not sure, just tested 3 different devices including an Arduino)
