# OpenThread on CC2538 Example
This directory contains example platform drivers for the [Texas Instruments CC2538][cc2538].
[cc2538]: http://www.ti.com/product/CC2538
The example platform drivers are intended to present the minimal code necessary to support OpenThread. As a result, the example platform drivers do not necessarily highlight the platform's full capabilities.
## Toolchain
Download and install the [GNU toolchain for ARM Cortex-M][gnu-toolchain].
[gnu-toolchain]: https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm
In a Bash terminal, follow these instructions to install the GNU toolchain and other dependencies.
```bash
$ cd <path-to-openthread>
$ ./script/bootstrap
```
## Building
In a Bash terminal, follow these instructions to build the cc2538 examples.
```bash
$ cd <path-to-openthread>
$ ./bootstrap
$ make -f examples/Makefile-cc2538
```
### CC2592 support
If your board has a CC2592 range extender front-end IC connected to the CC2538 (e.g. the CC2538-CC2592 EM reference design), you need to initialise this part before reception of radio traffic will work.
Support is enabled in OpenThread by building with `CC2592=1`:
```bash
$ make -f examples/Makefile-cc2538 CC2592=1
```
The default settings should work for any design following the integration advice given in TI's application report ["AN130 - Using CC2592 Front End With CC2538"](http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/swra447).
Additional settings can be customised:
- `CC2592_PA_EN`: This specifies which pin (on port C of the CC2538) connects to the CC2592's `PA_EN` pin. The default is `3` (PC3).
- `CC2592_LNA_EN`: This specifies which pin (on port C of the CC2538) connects to the CC2592's `LNA_EN` pin. The default is `2` (PC2).
- `CC2592_USE_HGM`: This defines whether the HGM pin of the CC2592 is under GPIO control or not. If not, it is assumed that the HGM pin is tied to a power rail.
- `CC2592_HGM_PORT`: The HGM pin can be connected to any free GPIO. TI recommend using PD2, however if you've used a pin on another GPIO port, you may specify that port (`A`, `B` or `C`) here.
- `CC2592_HGM_PORT`: The HGM pin can be connected to any free GPIO. TI recommend using PD2, however if you've used a pin on another GPIO port, you may specify that port (`A`, `B` or `C`) here. Default is `D`.
- `CC2592_HGM_PIN`: The HGM pin can be connected to any free GPIO. TI recommend using PD2, however if you've used a pin on another GPIO pin, you can specify the pin here. Default is `2`.
- `CC2592_HGM_DEFAULT_STATE`: By default, HGM is enabled at power-on, but you may want to have it default to off, specify `CC2592_HGM_DEFAULT_STATE=0` to do so.
- `CC2538_RECEIVE_SENSITIVITY`: If you have tied the HGM pin to a power rail, this allows you to calibrate the RSSI values according to the new receive sensitivity. This has no effect if `CC2592_USE_HGM=1` (the default).
- `CC2538_RSSI_OFFSET`: If you have tied the HGM pin to a power rail, this allows you to calibrate the RSSI values according to the new RSSI offset. This has no effect if `CC2592_USE_HGM=1` (the default).
## Flash Binaries
If the build completed successfully, the `elf` files may be found in `<path-to-openthread>/output/cc2538/bin`.
To flash the images with [Flash Programmer 2][ti-flash-programmer-2], the files must have the `*.elf` extension.
```bash
$ cd <path-to-openthread>/output/cc2538/bin
$ cp ot-cli ot-cli.elf
```
To load the images with the [serial bootloader][ti-cc2538-bootloader], the images must be converted to `bin`. This is done using `arm-none-eabi-objcopy`
```bash
$ cd <path-to-openthread>/output/cc2538/bin
$ arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary ot-cli ot-cli.bin
```
The [cc2538-bsl.py script][cc2538-bsl-tool] provides a convenient method for flashing a CC2538 via the UART. To enter the bootloader backdoor for flashing, hold down SELECT for CC2538DK (corresponds to logic '0') while you press the Reset button.
