# QP/C Application with Zephyr
This repository provides an example and a good starting point for deveoping
[QP/C](https://github.com/QuantumLeaps/qpc) applications with Zephyr.
The provided example is the [Dining Philosopher Problem (DPP)](https://www.state-machine.com/qpc/tut_dpp.html)
application consisting of muliple Active Objects.
Additionally, the application demonstrates the use of the Zephyr's console UART
to implement [QP/Spy software tracing](https://www.state-machine.com/qtools/qpspy.html).
## Credits
This example application has been originally created by [Victor Chavez](https://github.com/vChavezB).
### Cloning
This repository depends on the [qpc](https://github.com/QuantumLeaps/qpc)
reposiotory containing the QP/C framework and port to Zephyr, packaged together as an external
[Zephyr module](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/modules.html).
For that reason, to clone also the submodule, the usual `git clone` command needs to be
followed by `--recurse-submodules`
```bash
git clone https://github.com/QuantumLeaps/qpc-zephyr-app --recurse-submodules --depth 1
```
where, `` is the custom name you can give to your project.
This step produces the following subfolders in your current directory:
```
|
+- / - your QP project
+- .git/ - git history (safe to delete to save disk space)
|
+- qpc/ - QP/C framework
| +- zephyr/ - QP/C Zephyr module (don't touch)
|
+- CMakeLists.txt - files to build this project (custimize)
+- prj.conf - congiguration for this project (customize)
```
# Building the Project
Change directory to `` and type:
```bash
west build -b
```
specific example for the `nucleo_h743zi` board:
```bash
west build -b nucleo_h743zi
```
# QP/Spy Build Configuration
The QP/C Zephyr Module supports the
[QSPY Software Tracing](https://www.state-machine.com/qtools/qpspy.html)
option and will add the appropriate macros and files to build the "QSPY"
configuration.
If you wish to enable "QSPY" you can provide the option "QSPY"
in the command-line for the build. For example:
```bash
west build -b nucleo_h743zi -- -DQSPY=ON
```
> **NOTE:** The QP/Spy software tracing uses the Zephyr's console UART. This means that the Zephyr `printk()` facility cannot be used while QP/Spy is configured.
# Flashing the Board
Connect the board to your host and type:
```bash
west flash
```
# Running the Example
The example runs right away after flashing. (Some boards might need to be reset).
## Using the QP/SPY Software Tracing
If you have built the example with QP/Spy, you might want to watch the QP/Spy output.
### The QSPY Host Utility
To receive the QP/Spy software tracing output you need to run a special [qspy host application](https://www.state-machine.com/qtools/qspy.html).
> NOTE: You might need to build the `qspy` host utility on your machine.
The QSPY utility is available in
[QTools collection](https://github.com/QuantumLeaps/qtools/tree/master/qspy).
To launch the `qspy` host utility, open a separate terminal and run
```
qspy -c
```
specific example:
```
qspy -c /dev/ttyACM0
```
### QSPY Output Example
After resetting the board, you should see output similar to the following:
