Broken on Olimexino STM32 board about espruino HOT 6 CLOSED

Using LED on/off debugging, I might have found cause of the issue. In the file "targets/stm32/jshardware.c" in function "jshUSARTSetup". I found by trial and error that the software stalls after "jshPinSetFunction(inf->pinTX, pinTXfunc);". Turning LED2 on at the end of that function works. But the same line right after the function call does not. If I comment that line I can get it into working order. Everything boots up as expected.

Wow - that must have taken a while - thanks!

So with jshPinSetFunction(inf->pinTX, pinTXfunc); commented out, everything works?

That's a really strange one, because there doesn't really seem to be a great deal there that I'd have thought would cause it to crash.

Took my just under 30 minutes. I was running back and forth between the kitchen and my workstation.

Once I commented out that line it worked. The green LED blinked as it should and the init sequence was done. The USB interface came up and I have tested the most basic JS code.

I tried to disable the jshPinSetFunction for RX and keeping the TX enabled, but that did not work. Swapping them around did not help. Something is wrong with the pinTX part.

After further investigation I have found that in jshPinSetFunction the issue is with: else if (remap). This statement is true and the jsError line inside causes some kind of crash.

Unable to do jsError print before UART init?

Observation: remap is only true for pinTX not for pinRX.

Thanks - I'll look into this as it rings a bell.

The crash is almost certainly because it's trying to write data to an uninitialised serial port...

Thanks for your help - I've just fixed this. It was to do with the default pins for the USART being wrong.

The issue is that the Olimexino has re-ordered the pins, so the usual trick of scanning from PA1 forwards to find the first available pin with the given function doesn't work.

The issue must have arisen when I added auto-generation of platform_config.h and DEFAULT_USART_XXX_PIN got accidentally removed
