Detailed Description

Minimal LED-blink demo for EK-RA8D2 (single LED, BSP-driven).

Tag
[Ring 6 / APP] {World: S}

Drives the EK-RA8D2 user-LED1 (P600, blue) at 1 Hz using the board-support layer (libs/ra8_board_ek_ra8d2). This is the smallest possible HIL test that proves the chip booted into Reset_Handler / SystemInit / main and that the BSP + HAL GPIO/SysTick stack is alive.

For the multi-LED + HAL-toggle variant see examples/blink_hal.

Function Documentation

◆ internal_blink_panic_halt()

void internal_blink_panic_halt ( void )
static

Park the CPU forever in WFI – used as a panic stop.

Repeatedly executes wait-for-interrupt so a failed board or timing initialization remains observable without performing more I/O.

Returns
None.
Precondition
The caller has no remaining recovery action to perform.
Any enabled interrupt is safe to service before returning to the loop.
Postcondition
The function never returns to its caller.
The HIL liveness counter no longer advances.
Note
Fatal-path helper for the single-core blink demo only.

◆ main()

void main ( void )

The application entry point Reset_Handler hands control to.

Returns void, not int. This is a freestanding image: there is no hosted C environment, no process and nothing to report an exit status to. ISO C fixes main at int only for a hosted implementation; for a freestanding one (C23 5.1.2.1) the startup function's name and type are implementation-defined, and this is that definition. Reset_Handler discards no value because there is none to discard, and if main ever does return, startup halts the CPU rather than resuming anything.

The firmware lane is compiled -ffreestanding (see cmake/ra8_add_app.cmake) and the flag and this signature travel together: without it both GCC and clang reject a non-int main (-Wmain / -Wmain-return-type). Do not remove one without the other.

That coupling is why the declaration sits behind __STDC_HOSTED__ == 0, which -ffreestanding sets and a hosted build does not. The guard is not defensive dressing: this header is reachable from host builds (the unit tests compile ra8_core natively), and an unguarded void main(void); makes every hosted translation unit that includes it fail with conflicting types for 'main' against its own ISO int main. The declaration therefore exists exactly where its contract does.

Hosted first-party code – everything under tests/ and tools/ – uses the ISO int main(...) contract instead, because it genuinely does run under an OS that reads the exit status. scripts/checks/check_entry_points.py holds each domain to its own contract (#707).

Declared here, once, for the same reason SystemInit is: every vector_table.c used to restate it as a local extern int32_t main(void);, sixteen copies that no compiler ever compared against the definition – and roughly thirty of them had silently drifted out of agreement with the main they called.

Precondition
Reset_Handler has copied .data and zeroed .bss.
SystemInit has configured the clock tree and VTOR.
Postcondition
Control does not return; the image runs until reset or halt.
Any value the application wanted to report has been logged, not returned.
Note
Not thread-safe; single-threaded startup context only.
Warning
Only valid while the translation unit is compiled -ffreestanding. A hosted build rejects this signature.

Reset_Handler copied .data and zeroed .bss.
SystemInit set VTOR / FPU / priority grouping.
Postcondition
On success the PASS banner is emitted; otherwise a FAIL line is.
The CPU parks in WFI (observable on ra8_emulator until its budget).

Variable Documentation

◆ g_blink_tick

volatile uint32_t g_blink_tick = 0U

HIL liveness counter – incremented each time the LED toggles.

scripts/hil/jlink_memprobe.sh halts the chip via SWD, reads this counter, lets the chip run for N seconds, halts again, and asserts the counter advanced by >= HIL_PROBE_MIN_ADVANCE. This is a much stronger gate than HIL_MODE=alive (which only checks PC is in MRAM and CycleCnt advances): a chip stuck in a busy-wait inside ra8_delay_ms would pass alive-mode but fail memprobe because the main loop never iterated.

volatile keeps the increment out of the optimiser's hands (it would otherwise hoist or eliminate the dead store, since nothing in the firmware reads the counter). The symbol is also non-static so the linker keeps it visible to arm-none-eabi-nm without -Wl,–gc-sections culling it.

Note
Read externally by J-Link only; firmware never reads back.
