NodeMCU Testing Environment
===========================
Herein we define the environment our testing framework expects to see
when it runs. It is composed of two ESP8266 devices, each capable of
holding an entire NodeMCU firmware, LFS image, and SPIFFS file system,
as well as additional peripheral hardware. It is designed to fit
comfortably on a breadboard and so should be easily replicated and
integrated into any firmware validation testing.
The test harness runs from a dedicated host computer, which is expected
to have reset- and programming-capable UART links to both ESP8266
devices, as found on almost all ESP8266 boards with USB to UART
adapters, but the host does not necessarily need to use USB to connect,
so long as TXD, RXD, DTR, and RTS are wired across.
Peripherals
-----------
### I2C Bus
There is an I2C bus hanging off DUT 0. Attached hardware is used both as
tests of modules directly and also to facilitate testing other modules
(e.g., gpio).
#### MCP23017: I/O Expander
At address 0x20. An 16-bit tristate GPIO expander, this chip is used to
test I2C, GPIO, and ADC functionality. This chip's interconnections are
as follows:
MPC23017 | Purpose
---------|--------------------------------------------------------------
/RESET |DUT0 reset. This resets the chip whenever the host computer resets DUT 0 over its serial link (using DTR/RTS).
B 0 |4K7 resistor to DUT 0 ADC.
B 1 |2K2 resistor to DUT 0 ADC.
B 5 |DUT1 GPIO16/WAKE via 4K7 resitor
B 6 |DUT0 GPIO13 via 4K7 resistor and DUT1 GPIO15 via 4K7 resistor
B 7 |DUT0 GPIO15 via 4K7 resistor and DUT1 GPIO13 via 4K7 resistor
Notes:
- DUT 0's ADC pin is connected via a 2K2 reistor to this chip's port
B, pin 1 and via a 4K7 resistor to port B, pin 0. This gives us the
ability to produce approximately 0 (both pins low), 1.1 (pin 0 high,
pin 1 low), 2.2 (pin 1 high, pin 0 low), and 3.3V (both pins high)
on the ADC pin.
- Port B pins 6 and 7 sit on the UART cross-wiring between DUT 0 and
DUT 1. The 23017 will be tristated for inter-DUT UART tests, but
these
- Port B pins 2, 3, and 4, as well as all of port A, remain available
for expansion.
- The interrupt pins are not yet routed, but could be. We reserve DUT
0 GPIO 2 for this purpose with the understanding that the 23017's
interrupt functionality will be disabled (INTA, INTB set to
open-drain, GPINTEN set to 0) when not explicitly under test.
