3.2 Bluetooth SPP Slave

This demonstration shows how to make the HC-05 module in the RFS board to work as a SPP
slave. When the SPP slave is launched, it is in standby mode waiting for a SPP connection request
from a SPP master. When it accepts a SPP connection from an Android phone, it will be waiting for
a receiving command from the Android phone and interpret the command to control the LED on the
FPGA main board.
In this demonstration, Terasic Android TerasicRFS App is used to test the SPP Master. Users also
can use other third party Bluetooth SPP APP which is able to send characters ‘0’ to ‘9’ to test this
demonstration.
 Block Diagram
Figure 3-5 shows the System Block Diagram of the Bluetooth SPP slave demonstration. In the
FPGA board, a UART Controller is used to communicate with the HC-05 Bluetooth module. The
Decoder module is designed to parsing the received command string and control the LEDs on the
FPGA main board. The Bluetooth App running on the Android Phone is designed by Terasic. It can
discover the HC-05 device, connect it, and send the command string to it.

Figure 3-5 Function Block Diagram
 Communication Protocol
A simple communication protocol is used in this demonstration. One way communication is used in
the protocol; The Decoder only receives commands from the Android device. It does not respond
or send any message to the Android device. The command is a fixed one-byte length. The valid
value is from 0x30(ASCII code of character ‘0’) to 0x39(ASCII code of character ‘9’). Figure 3-6
shows the command parsing statement in the Decoder module. For example, when 0x30 is
received, the LED0 will be turn on. When 0x34 is received, the LED0 will be turn off.
Figure 3-6 UART data decoder
On the SPP mater side, users also can use other third party Bluetooth SPP software to send the
commands defined in this demonstration to control the LED on the FPGA main board.
If necessary, designers can expand the one-way communication to two-way communication.

Designers can use the uart_tx port of the UART Controller to send commands to the Android

3.3 Sensor Measurement

This part consists of three independent I2C controllers. Each of the I2C controllers is responsible
for retrieving the measurement of corresponding sensor on RFS daughter card. The three sensors
include humidity, temperature, light photo sensor, and 9-axis sensor which is the combination of
3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and 3-axis magnetometer. The measurements of these
three sensors can be displayed on the 7-segments onboard by the selection of switch settings.
 Block Diagram
Figure 3-13 shows the function block diagram of Sensor Measurement demonstration.
Figure 3-13 Function block diagram of sensor measurement
HC1000: It controls the HDC1000 IC on RFS daughter card via I2C bus. It can retrieve the
measurement of humidity and temperature from the slave address 0x80. The values of humidity
and temperature can be represented in decimal after conversion in percentage and degrees,
respectively.

October 25, 2017
22
APDS_9301: It controls the APDS9301 IC on RFS daughter card via I2C bus. It can retrieve the
measurement of light photo sensor from ADC0 and ADC1 via slave address 0x52. The length of
these two sets are 16-bit.
MPU_9250: It controls the MPU9250 IC on RFS daughter card via I2C bus. There are two ICs
integrated into a single MPU9250 chip. One is the accelerometer, which can be accessed from
slave address 0xD0 or DxD2 when the pin AD0_SDO = 1, and the other one is AK8963 as
magnetometer, which can be accessed from slave address 0x18, provided the register 0x37 of
MPU9250 is set to 0x02 (I2C bypass mode). The usage is similar to several I2C slave devices in
parallel for the three measurements of MPU9250 (accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer).
Each one has x-y-z axis and each axis can be represented in 16-bit in 2’s complement for positive
and negative values. This module integrates the total of 9 sets of 16-bit data and outputs these
values simultaneously.
HEX_SWITCH: This module takes total of 12 sets of data (one for humidity and temperature,
another two for light photo sensor, and the last nine from 9-axis sensor) from the three independent
modules above. The values can be represented on the four 7-segments onboard separately by the
SW[3:0] onboard, as shown in Table 3-1.
(!!!! Need review by linda) If the mainboard has only two 7-segments, the values will be displayed
according the statement in Table 3-2.Note, only MSB 16-bit are display on the two 7-segment
displays. User can launch the Signal Tap Utility to observe the all measured sensor value at the
same time.

4.2 Wi-Fi Server

This demonstration shows how to implement a simple Wi-Fi web server in such a way that users
can directly use a mobile device to visit the web server. In the mobile device, a web server is used
to client the web server. The web server provides the LED control interface as shown in Figure 4-7.
Users can click the blue led text to lighten/un-lighten the LEDs on the FPGA main board.
Figure 4-7 LED Control Web
 Block Diagram
Figure 4-8 shows the Function block diagram of the Wi-Fi Server demonstration. The UART
controller is used to communicate with the Wi-Fi module. The User Interface module is used to
control the LED. When Web server is launched, it sends the AT command to the Wi-Fi module to
configure it as a Soft AP (Access Point), and wait for connection request from the client. When a
connection is established, the Web Server module is response for receiving the request command
from the web browser, parsing the command and performing the associated LED control, then
sends the responding result to the web browser.

 Control Flow and Message

HTTP is used in this web server demonstration. It is a request-response protocol in the client-server
computing model. For details, please refer to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol
Here is the control flow for the web server demo:

1. Waiting for a request message from the mobile device
2. Parsing the request message. In this simple demo, parsing the first line (a request line) in
the message is enough.
3. Transmit the response message to the mobile device according to the parsing result. In this
demonstration, there are five valid passing results.
Below shows an example request message that should be received from the web server. In this
simple demonstration, parsing the first line string (a request line) in the message is enough. This
means the Nios II program only needs to parse the “GET /led/on/3 HTTP/1.1” string in this request
message.
GET /led/on/3 HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.4.1
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: zh-tw
Connection: keep-alive
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 9_3_2 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/601.1 (KHTML, like
Gecko) CriOS/55.0.2883.79 Mobile/13F69 Safari/601.1.46
In this demonstration, the request message is classified as five types according to the requested
resource. The request message type can be determined by only parsing the first line string in the
request message. For example, the first line string “GET /led/on/3 HTTP/1.1” is classified as “/led”
resource type. Table 4-1 shows the associated response message for each request type. The

October 25, 2017
35
response message is consistent of three parts: status code, response header and body message.
For the “/led” request, the response status code is “302 Found” which means re-directing to the
resource location. The response header is “Location:/” it represents the new location for the request
resource. The response message body is empty.

4.3 Bluetooth Configuration

This section describe how to restore the HC-05 to default status and set the UART baud rate to
115200. The AT command set, defined by HC-05, is used to restore the setting. Besides restore
UART baud rate, developers also can use the AT command set to configure the other parameters
for the HC-05 firmware.
The HC-05 firmware has two work modes: order-response work mode (AT mode) and automatic
connection work mode. In this demonstration, order-response work mode is used to configure
the HC-05. Note, before send AT Command to configure the HC-05, HC-05 should enter
order-response work mode first.

program is used to control the main flow. The Nios II program is running on the on-chip memory.
The UART controller is used to communicate with the HC-05 Bluetooth module. The TX Port is
used to send AT command and RX Port is used to receive response. The GPIO controller is used to
monitor the status of KEY1 button on the FPGA main board. When the Nios II program is launched,
it is continued polling the status of KEY1 button. When KEY1 is pressed, the Nios II program will
start the configure process.
The baud rate of the UART controller is 38400. For HC-05 to work at baud rate 38400 in
order-response work mode (AT mode), users should press BT_KEY button (pull high PIO11 pin in
HC-05) while HC-05 power on.

 AT Command
connection work mode. In the order-response work mode, AT Command is used to communicate
with the HC-05 firmware. For details about AT command set defined by HC-05, please refer to the
HC05_AT_Command_Ref.pdf in the folder Datasheet\HC-05 in the RFS System CD. In order to
make HC-05 to work on order-response work mode with baud rate 38400, the “Way 2: how to get
to the AT mode” described in the HC05_AT_Command_Ref.pdf is used in this demonstration. This
means users need to press the BT_KEY button when HC-05 is power on.
In this demonstration, the AT Commend is used to configure the HC-05 firmware under the
order-response work mode. When users press KEY1 button to start the configure process, the
Nios II program sends “AT\r\n” command first. When HC-05 receives the “AT\r\n” command, it

October 25, 2017
40
responses “OK\r\n”. Then, Nios II program sends “AT+ORGL\r\n” command to HC-05 for restore
default status. HC-05 responses “OK\r\n” when it restores the status. Finally, the Nios II Program
sends “AT+UART=115200,0,0\r\n” to the HC-05. When the baud-rate is changed to 115200, the
HC-05 responses “OK\r\n”. Figure 4-14 shows the handshake chart for the above three AT
commands.

Command to configure the HC-05, HC-05 should enter order-response work mode first.
 Block Diagram
Figure 4-21 shows the function block diagram of the Bluetooth SPP Master Demonstration. In
order to let the HC-05 to work on order-response mode with baud rate 38400, the BT_KEY button
should be hold down (keep PIO11 high) when module power on. The GPIO controller is used to
control the PIO11 status. UART Controller is used to communicate with the HC-05 Bluetooth
module with baud rate 38400
The Nios II processor is used for main control. The Nios II program is running on SDRAM memory.
Before Nios II program sends AT Command to search nearby Bluetooth devices, it uses GPIO
controller to pull high PIO11 to keep HC-05 in order-response mode. Nios II program will list all
found Bluetooth devices, and ask users to select desired one. Then, it uses AT command to pair
and connect the desired device. When connection is established, Nios II program uses GPIO
controller to pull low PIO11 to keep HC-05 in automatic connection work mode, and start to

4.5 Sensor Measurement

The RFS is equipped with three sensors; an ambient light sensor，a humidity and temperature
sensor, and a 9-axis motion tracking sensor. The APDS-9301 is a light-to-digital ambient light photo
sensor whose intensity converts light into a digital signal output capable of I2C interface. The
HDC1000 is a fully integrated humidity and temperature sensor, providing excellent measurement
accuracy and long term stability, whose measurement results can be read out through the I2C
interface. The MPU9250 consists of two dies; one die houses the 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis
accelerometer, and the other die houses the 3-axis magnetometer. Similarly, the MPU9250
provides complete 9-axis output through the I2C interface.
 Block Diagram
Figure 4-31 shows the function block diagram of the RFS three-sensor demonstration. The system
requires a 50 MHz clock input from the board. Three I2C_OPENCORES controllers are used to
communicate with the APDS-9301, HDC1000 and MPU9250 chips, respectively. The Nios II
processor is used to configure the sensors, read the measured values, and show the measured
values on the Nios II terminal. The Nios II processor communicates to the sensor through the
I2C_OPENCORES I2C controllers. The NIOS II program is running on the on-chip memory.
The I2C_OPNECORES IP RTL source code is located in the folder:

DE10_LITE_RFS_SENSOR/ip/i2c_opencores
The driver for the I2C_OPNECORES IP is implemented in the IC2_core.c and I2C_core.h which
located in the folder:
DE10_LITE_RFS_SENSOR/software/RFS_SENSOR

October 25, 2017
55
Figure 4-31 Block diagram of the DE10-Lite RFS Sensors demo
 Sensor Explanation
The APDS-9301 contains two integrated analog-to-digital converters (ADC) that integrate the
currents from channel 0 and channel 1 photodiodes. Upon completion of the conversion cycle, the
conversion result is transferred to channel 0 and channel 1 data register respectively. The device
I2C address of APDS-9301 is 0x52/0x53.
The HDC1000 has three registers: temperature, humidity and configuration registers respectively. It
can perform a measurement of both humidity and temperature, or humidity only or temperature only,
which can be set in the configuration register. Please note the device I2C address of HDC1000 is
0x80/0x81.
The MPU9250 features three 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) for digitizing the gyroscope
outputs, three 16-bit ADCs for digitizing the accelerometer outputs, and three 16-bit ADCs for
digitizing the magnetometer outputs. The MPU9250 has a user-programmable gyroscope full-scale
range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, or ±2000 degrees per second (dps), a user-programmable
accelerometer full-scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, and ±16g, and a magnetometer full-scale range of
±4800μT. Please note the device I2C address of the MPU9250 is decided by the Pin
MPU_AD0_SDO, when the MPU_AD0_SDO is tied to low, the device I2C address is 0xD0/0xD1,
and the MPU_AD0_SDO tied to high, the device I2C address is 0xD2/0xD3.
