Create a USB-PD Source Device

Clock.png Total 60min

1 Creating the project

Clock.png 5min

Open STM32CubeIDE and create a New STM32 Project. As a target selection, choose the NUCLEO-G0B1RE from the Board Selector Tab

USBPD 0-newproject.png


Click "Next", then enter your project's name. Leave the other fields as default and click "Finish".

USBPD 1-newproject.png


When prompted for initializing peripherals with their default mode, click No.

2 Configuring the system

Clock.png 15min

At this point, your project is created and you are left with the STM32CubeMX view. In the next steps, we will configure the peripherals and options needed for the project.

2.1 Clear the pinout

To start from a blank configuration, click on the Pinout menu and select Clear Pinouts. This will reset the pinouts in the Pinout view.

USBPD 0-pinoutConf.png


2.2 Configure the system timebase

For this simple example, we will use SysTick as the system timebase. In the System Core section, select SYS and change the Timebase Source to SysTick.

USBPD 0-sysConf.png


2.3 Configure UCPD peripheral

In the Connectivity tab, select the UCPD1 peripheral and enable it in source mode. Under the NVIC Settings tab, enable UCPD global interrupts.

USBPD 0-UCPD1Conf.png


Under the DMA Settings tab, add UCPD1_RX and UCPD1_TX DMA requests. Select DMA1 channel 4 for RX and DMA1 channel 2 for TX.

USBPD 1-UCPD1Conf.png


Info white.png Information
You can use any DMA channel you want except for DMA1_Channel1 which would be used later by the BSP drivers.


2.4 Configure FreeRTOS Middleware

In the Middleware section, enable FreeRTOS with CMSIS_V1 interface. Under the Config Parameters tab, change "TOTAL_HEAP_SIZE" to 7000 bytes.

USBPD 0-FreeRTOSConf.png


Then, under the Include Parameters tab, Enable eTaskGetState include definition.

USBPD 1-FreeRTOSConf.png


Info white.png Information

If an STM32G4 is used of a G0, LIBRARY_MAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY needs to be set to 3 instead of CubeMX's default value 5. In some cases with STM32G4, leaving it to 5 will get the code execution stuck in vPortValidateInterruptPriority function.

2.5 Configure USBPD Middleware

In the Middleware section, enable USBPD with the following configuration:

  • Port Configuration: Port 0: UCPD1
  • Stack Configuration: PD3 Full Stack
  • Timer service Source: TIM1

Under the PDO General Definitions tab, verify the following configuration:

  • Number of Sink PDOs for port 0: 1
  • Port 0 Sink PDO 1 0x0001912C (correspond to a simple 5V / 3A source)
USBPD 0-USBPDConf.png


The following table is extracted from USB Power Delivery Specification, Table 6-9 Fixed Supply PDO - Source. Used values and associated decoding for this project have been added to the table.

Bit(s) Description Used value Decoding
B31..30 Fixed supply 00b Fixed
B29 Dual-Role Power 0b No
B28 USB Suspend Supported 0b No
B27 Unconstrained Power 0b No
B26 USB Communications Capable 0b No
B25 Dual-Role Data 0b No
B24..22 Reserved - Shall de set to zero 000b No
B21..20 Peak Current 00b Peak Equals
B19..10 Voltage in 50mV units 0001100100b 5V
B9..0 Maximum current in 10mA units 0100101100b 3A

2.6 Configure ADC peripheral

For the Power Delivery stack to work, VBUS needs to be monitored. To do it, an ADC needs to be configured to measure the VBUS voltage and current.
As we are going to use the X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 BSP, the ADC configuration does not need to be done in CubeMX.
As we need the ADC LL drivers for it to work properly, we still need to configure the ADC in CubeMX for it to include the driver files, but the actual configuration and init function will not be called in our project.

In the Analog section, enable ADC1 peripheral channel 0. Leave the configuration as default, as the X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 BSP will reconfigure it.

USBPD 0-ADC1Conf.png


2.7 Configure I2C peripheral

As the X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 shield includes a TCPP02-M18 that communicates via I2C, we need to enable the I2C peripheral in our project.

In the Connectivity section, enable I2C2 peripheral, in I2C mode. Leave the configuration as default, as the X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 BSP will reconfigure it.

USBPD 0-I2C2Conf.png


Note: We need to enable the I2C2 peripheral in the CubeMX view for code generation to include the I2C drivers as we do for the ADC.

2.8 Configure Clocks

Under Clock Configuration main tab, change system clock mux to PLLCLK. It will set HCLK clock to 64MHz.

USBPD 0-Clock.png


Info white.png Information
The mandatory settings for the simple USB-PD sink application are finished.

The following part is highly recommended for debugging

2.9 [OPTIONAL] Configure Tracer for debug

2.9.1 Configure LPUART

On the STM32G0 Nucleo-64 board, the Virtual COM port connected to the ST-LINK is the LPUART1.

Warning white.png Warning
The default STM32CubeMX pins used by LPUART1 must be changed to match the STM32G0 Nucleo-64 hardware:
  • PA2 for TX
  • PA3 for RX.

In the Connectivity section, enable LPUART1 in Asynchronous mode, and baudrate 921600 bauds. Leave the rest as default.

USBPD 0-LPUARTConf.png


In the pinout view, left-click PA2 and PA3 to remap them to LPUART1_TX and LPUART1_RX.

USBPD 0b-LPUARTConf.png


Under the DMA Configuration tab, add a request for LPUART1_TX. Use DMA1 channel 3.

USBPD 1-LPUARTConf.png


Finally, under the NVIC Settings tab, enable LPUART1 global interrupts.

USBPD 2-LPUARTConf.png


2.9.2 Configure embedded tracer

In the Utilities section, select TRACER_EMB and use LPUART1 as the trace source.

USBPD 0-tracerConf.png


Then, go back to the USBPD middleware configuration and check the Tracer Source checkbox.

USBPD 1-tracerConf.png


2.9.3 Configure UCPD monitor firmware responder for debug

The firmware interactive stack responder can be activated if interaction with the USB-PD stack is needed, using the UCPD monitor tool STM32CubeMonUCPD. In the Utilities section, enable GUI_INTERFACE, then enter free text to describe the board.

USBPD 0-GUIConf.png


3 Configure project

Clock.png 5min

Under the Project Manager main tab, configure the minimum stack size to 0xC00 under the Project tab. This is a first value, which can be tuned later, depending on application needs.

USBPD 0-projectConf.png



Under the Advanced Settings tab, change the LPUART driver to LL to save a bit of memory heap size. As we do not need ADC and I2C initialization functions (handled by the BSP drivers), uncheck Generate Code for the MX_I2C2_Init and MX_ADC1_Init functions.

USBPD 2-projectConf.png


4 Add BSP to the project

Clock.png 5min

Board Support Package (BSP) for the X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 shield needs to be added to the project. The files need to be copied manually in the project's folder.
Get the latest BSP from GitHub x-cube-tcpp.

Manually copy the three following folders:

x-cube-tcpp
└── Drivers
    └── BSP
        ├── 📁STM32G0xx_Nucleo
        ├── 📁X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1
        └── Components
            └── 📁tcpp0203

Into:

<ProjectFolder>
└── Drivers
    └── BSP
        ├── 📁STM32G0xx_Nucleo
        ├── 📁X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1
        └── Components
            └── 📁tcpp0203

Then, create a file named ".extSettings" at the project's root folder (please mind the dot character in the filename) and fill it with the following code:

[ProjectFiles]
HeaderPath=Drivers\BSP\X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1;Drivers\BSP\STM32G0xx_Nucleo;Drivers\BSP\Components\tcpp0203
[Others]
Define=TCPP0203_SUPPORT;USE_STM32G0XX_NUCLEO
HALModule=
[Groups]
Drivers/BSP/X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1=Drivers/BSP/X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1/src1m1_usbpd_pwr.c;Drivers/BSP/X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1/src1m1_bus.c;
Drivers/BSP/STM32G0xx_Nucleo=Drivers/BSP/STM32G0xx_Nucleo/stm32g0xx_nucleo.c
Drivers/BSP/Components/tcpp0203=Drivers/BSP/Components/tcpp0203/tcpp0203.c;Drivers/BSP/Components/tcpp0203/tcpp0203_reg.c

This file is used to tell the code generator to include the BSP files when generating the project.

Info white.png Information
You can double-click the code zones to select it all, then copy it with Ctrl+c.

5 Generate code

Clock.png 5min

Save your file with Ctrl+s and select generate code if prompted. You can also generate code from the STM32CubeIDE menu by clicking Project/Generate Code, or by pressing Alt+K.

USBPD 0-projGen.png


A warning appears, informing that a proper HAL timebase is not defined. It is safer to use a dedicated timer as a HAL timebase source.
For this demonstration, the below warning can be ignored by clicking Yes.

USBPD 1-projGen.png


Info white.png Information
This becomes the recommended standard way of working in the forthcoming firmware package deliveries, especially when using CMSIS OS V2, which defines Systick as FreeRTOS™ timebase.

For this demonstration, the warning can be ignored by clicking Yes.


In this project, different folders can be found:

  • The USBPD folder contains the source files that we need to edit to enrich the Power Delivery application.
  • The Core folder contains the source files for the core of the project.
  • The Drivers folder contains the HAL drivers for the STM32, and the BSP for the Nucleo board and X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 shield.
  • The Middleware folder contains the source files and the libraries for FreeRTOS™ and USB-PD.
  • The Utilities folder contains the GUI (UCPD monitor) and tracer embedded source files part.

The Drivers folder in the Explorer view of the project must contain the BSP folders added earlier.

6 Complete USB-PD application

Clock.png 20min

Now that the peripherals are initialized by STM32CubeMX, some minimum level of the application needs to be added:

  • src1m1_conf.h file needs to be created from its template, and added to the project
  • User code needs to be added in several files

6.1 Add SRC1M1 configuration file

In the Drivers\BSP\X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 folder you will find src1m1_conf_template.h. Copy it to Core\Inc folder, and rename it src1m1_conf.h. It is the configuration file used for the X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 BSP.

7 Configure the shield's jumpers

Place jumpers on the X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 shield as shown in the picture.

USBPD SRC1M1 JP Conf.png


Next, plug an external 5V source into the green "source" connector.

With this configuration, the board will be powered by the ST-Link of the Nucleo board.
If you want to power your system from the external power supply connected to the "source" terminal, and not from the ST-Link, please add the JP1 jumpers between 1-2 and 3-4.

8 Compile and run the application

The compilation must be performed without error or warnings.
Build the application by clicking on the Built Button.png button (or select Project/Build Project).
Run the application by clicking on the DownloadRun Button.png button (or select Run/Run)

9 Establish the first explicit contract

Clock.png 5min

With your application running on the board, launch the STM32CubeMonitor-UCPD application. The user's board must appear in the list when clicking "Refresh list of connected boards", so double click on the corresponding line (or click "NEXT").

USBPD 0-cubeMon.png


Note: The ComPort may be different. It depends on the number of boards installed on the computer. Then double click on the desired UCPD port, here Port 0, or select it and click "NEXT".

USBPD 1-cubeMon.png


Click on the TRACES button in the bottom right corner to get protocol traces. You can then plug a power delivery sink into the USB Type-C® receptacle of the X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 shield. The screen may look like this:

USBPD 2-cubeMon.png


The figure above shows the communication between the STM32G0 and the power delivery sink on the right panel. It is possible to verify the correct sequence to reach an explicit contract:

  1. The capabilities are sent by the STM32G0 source (OUT orange message).
  2. The request is sent by the sink (IN green message).
  3. The ACCEPT and the PS_RDY are sent by the STM32G0 source (OUT orange message).
  4. The contract negotiation ends by the POWER_EXPLICIT_CONTRACT notification (blue message).

For more details on how to use this tool, refer to UM2468. And for more details on the protocol, refer to UM2552. Note that this trace is very helpful for debugging and application development.

You can also use the Measurement window in STM32CubeMonitor-UCPD to display a graph of the measured VBUS voltage and delivered current. Set the sampling period and click start.
