NAME

    Device::AVR::UPDI - interact with an AVR microcontroller over UPDI

DESCRIPTION

    This module provides a class for interacting with an AVR
    microcontroller over the UPDI programming and debug interface. This is
    used by chips in the newer ATmega 0-series, or ATtiny 0-series or
    1-series, or AVR DA or AVR DB families.

 Hardware Interface

    This code expects to find a serial port connected to the UPDI pin of
    the microcontroller as a shared single-wire interface. Suitable
    hardware to provide this can be created using a USB-UART adapter,
    connecting the RX line directly to the MCU's UPDI pin, and connecting
    TX via a current-limiting resistor of 1kohm.

CONSTRUCTORS

 new

       $updi = Device::AVR::UPDI->new( ... );

    Constructs and returns a new Device::AVR::UPDI instance.

    Takes the following named arguments:

    dev => STRING

      Path to the device node representing the serial port connection.

    fh => IO

      Alternative to dev, provides an IO handle directly. This should be an
      instance of IO::Termios, or at least, provide the same interface.

    part => STRING

      Name of the AVR chip to interact with. This is used to define
      parameters like memory size and location of internal peripherals.

      Any of the following forms are accepted

         part => "ATtiny814"  | "attiny814"  | "t814"
         part => "ATmega4809" | "atmega4809" | "m4809"
         part => "AVR64DA48"  | "avr64da48"

    baud => INT

      Optional. Overrides the baud rate for communications. Defaults to
      115200.

      Lower numbers may be useful if communication is unreliable, for
      example over a long cable or with high capacitance or noise.

    After construction, the link must be initialised by calling "init_link"
    before any of the command methods are used.

ACCESSORS

 partinfo

       $partinfo = $updi->partinfo;

    Returns the Part Info structure containing base addresses and other
    parameters which may be useful for interacting with the chip.

    The returned structure provides the following fields

       $name = $partinfo->name;
    
       $sig = $partinfo->signature;
    
       $addr = $partinfo->baseaddr_nvmctrl;
       $addr = $partinfo->baseaddr_fuse;
       $addr = $partinfo->baseaddr_flash;
       $addr = $partinfo->baseaddr_eeprom;
       $addr = $partinfo->baseaddr_sigrow;
    
       $bytes = $partinfo->pagesize_flash;
       $bytes = $partinfo->pagesize_eeprom;
       $bytes = $partinfo->size_flash;
       $bytes = $partinfo->size_eeprom;
    
       $fusenames = $partinfo->fusenames;

 fuseinfo

    Returns a data structure containing information about the individual
    fuse fields defined by this device.

    This is parsed directly from a shipped YAML file; see the files in the
    share/ directory for more details.

METHODS

    The following methods documented in an await expression return Future
    instances.

 init_link

       await $updi->init_link;

    Initialise the UPDI link for proper communication.

    This method must be invoked after the object is constructed, before
    using any of the other commands.

 read_updirev

       $rev = await $updi->read_updirev;

    Reads the UPDIREV field of the STATUSA register.

 read_asi_sys_status

       $status = await $updi->read_asi_sys_status;

    Reads the ASI_SYS_STATUS register.

 read_sib

       $sib = await $updi->read_sib;

    Reads the System Information Block.

    This is returned in a HASH reference, containing four keys:

       {
          family       => "tinyAVR",
          nvm_version  => "P:0",
          ocd_version  => "D:0",
          dbg_osc_freq => 3,
       }

 read_signature

       $signature = await $updi->read_signature;

    Reads the three signature bytes from the Signature Row of the device.
    This is returned as a plain byte string of length 3.

 request_reset

       await $updi->request_reset( $reset );

    Sets or clears the system reset request. Typically used to issue a
    system reset by momentarilly toggling the request on and off again:

       await $updi->request_reset( 1 );
       await $updi->request_reset( 0 );

 erase_chip

       await $updi->erase_chip;

    Requests a full chip erase, waiting until the erase is complete.

    After this, the chip will be unlocked.

    Takes an optional named argument:

    no_reset => BOOL

      If true, does not issue a system reset request after loading the key.
      This allows you to load multiple keys at once before sending the
      reset, which may be required e.g. to recover from a bad SYSCFG0 fuse
      setting.

         await $updi->erase_chip( no_reset => 1 );
         await $updi->enable_nvmprog;

 enable_nvmprog

       await $updi->enable_nvmprog;

    Requests the chip to enter NVM programming mode.

 read_flash_page

       $data = await $updi->read_flash_page( $addr, $len );

    Reads a single flash page and returns the data. $addr is within the
    flash address space.

 write_flash_page

       await $updi->write_flash_page( $addr, $data );

    Writes a single flash page into the NVM controller in 16-bit word
    transfers. $addr is within the flash address space.

 read_eeprom_page

       $data = await $updi->read_eeprom_page( $addr, $len );

    Reads a single EEPROM page and returns the data. $addr is within the
    EEPROM address space.

 write_eeprom_page

       await $updi->write_eeprom_page( $addr, $data );

    Similar to "write_flash_page" but issues a combined erase-and-write
    command and $addr is within the EEPROM address space.

 write_fuse

       await $updi->write_fuse( $idx, $value );

    Writes a fuse value. $idx is the index of the fuse within the FUSES
    memory segment, from 0 onwards.

 read_fuse

       $value = await $updi->read_fuse( $idx );

    Reads a fuse value. $idx is the index of the fuse within the FUSES
    memory segment, from 0 onwards.
