Previously we checked for OG support instead of r9 support because we
didn't yet have a way to tag firmware binaries with support for multiple
platforms.
During r9 hardware development it was thought that the MAX2839 would use
a different GPIO pin for chip select, but it ended up being the same pin
as is used for MAX2837 on other hardware revisions.
This takes the MAX283x abstraction a bit further and fixes a bug with
hackrf_debug -m.
On the first spin of r9 one of the pins used for platform detection is
pulled up to VAA, not VCC, and VAA hasn't been switched on yet at the
time of platform detection. This results in r9 being misidentified as OG
from time to time.
As a temporary workaround until the next board spin, change the platform
from OG to r9 if it is detected as OG but has r9 pin straps.
Writing to the output bits in the TIMER3 external match register
resulted in intermittent failures that varied in likelihood from board
to board and from commit to commit for no apparent reason.
On macOS 12.6 running libusb 1.0.26, the host was seen to sometimes
make an incomplete ClearFeature(ENDPOINT_HALT) request when
ClearPipeStallBothEnds was called from libusb_cancel_transfer.
The host would send the SETUP packet, and the firmware would
call usb_transfer_schedule_ack to acknowledge the upcoming IN
token. However, the host would then not send the IN token,
proceeding directly to the next SETUP.
Since an empty transfer was queued to schedule the ACK, the
firmware would leak one transfer from the free_transfers list.
After a few iterations of this, the firmware would run out of
free transfers and the next request would hang waiting for one.
Fix this by flushing the transfer queues for the control endpoint
when a new SETUP is received, since that token implicitly cancels
any previously ongoing request.
Previously these calls were leaving the amplifiers on, since the
control settings passed were missing SWITCHCTRL_NO_TX_AMP_PWR and
SWITCHCTRL_NO_RX_AMP_PWR. Use the predefined SWITCHCTRL_SAFE here.
Also move these calls before setting the GPIO pins to output mode,
to avoid driving them to the wrong states briefly first.
Firmware now detects the hardware it is running on at startup and
refuses to run if it is compiled for the wrong platform. The board ID
returned by firmware to the host is now derived from run-time detection
rather than a compile-time value. A separate method to retrieve
compile-time supported platform is added.
On HackRF One, pin straps are checked to determine hardware revision.
