EMIF Frequency on the 6416 DSK - "Abboud,Charley" - Jul 21 15:14:16 2008

Hi all,

I have a peripheral device that was designed to run with an EMIF 
frequency of 100MHz. My DSK runs at 125MHz by default. I can bring it 
down to 100MHz via the on-board dip switches, but those switches also 
brings down CPU frequency. I want the CPU frequency to remain the same 
(1Ghz).

I already did a search in the archives here and what I have tried so 
far is to adjust some values in the DSP/BIOS config file. I tried 
changing ECLKOUT2 to 1/2x EMIF input, and 1/4x EMIF input. I tried 
adjusting R/W strobe widths, R/W setup widths. These adjustments didn't 
really help but am I headed in the right direction?

My peripheral is a daughtercard so it connects to EMIFA at CE2 and CE3 
space.

Thanks,
Charley

Re: EMIF Frequency on the 6416 DSK - Charley Abboud - Jul 21 22:33:33 2008

The daughtercard contains a Cypress CY7C68001 USB 2.0 controller. It
behaves as a slave to the DSP and connects to the external memory
interface and external perpipheral interface connectors.

I thought it was an asychronous device, but when I set the board to
600Mhz/100Mhz it works, when I set the board to 1Ghz/125Mhz it doesn't
work. I also know by speaking to the manufacturer (Avnet), the board
was designed for the 600Mhz DSK. The project depends on the 1Ghz CPU
and I was hoping to bring down the EMIFA frequency seperately. Is this
possible?

Thanks

What is on the daughtercard?  Why does it use EMIF clock?  If the daughtercard
contains asynchronous devices or interfaces, then clock doesn't matter.

Well, you have to look at the daughtercard schematic.  Is a DSP EMIF-related
clock
(signal named ECLKOUT or similar) used for anything?  If so, then it could be
synchronous, depending on where the signal is routed on the daughtercard.  If
not,
then it's an asynchronous interface and your DSP EMIF registers should be set
up
appropriately.

In the data sheet (see comments below), there is an IFCONFIG Register that has a
bit
set for ASYNC or SYNC operation.  During normal (working) operation, what is
that bit
set to?

Cypress has evidently obsoleted the CY7C68001 device, but I found this data
sheet:

  http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~sedwards/classes/2005/4840/cypress-cy7c68001.pdf

On page 13, it discusses internal vs. external clock.  It could be that the
daughtercard uses an external clock from the DSK board in order to derive or
comply
with correct USB bus timings, so if you deviate then things fall apart.  But I
would
think Avnet engineers wouldn't do this, otherwise the daughtercard couldn't be
used
with a wide range of DSK boards.

Another possibility is an issue with software that Avnet provides for the
DSK6416 DSK
-- some timing loop or other code that depends on a 600 MHz clock.  Not sure,
just
some guesses...

Like Jeff indicated, [1] verify sync or async [it's likely async
unless some type of clocked RAM or FIFO is used].
If it is sync "follow the clock".
If it is async, make sure that you have plenty of
setup/strobeWidth/hold for testing [you can take out extra cycles
later].  If this doesn't do it, the slave memory make have a max r/w
rate [ie,needs some 'recovery time' between RDs or WRs.

Re: EMIF Frequency on the 6416 DSK - "Abboud,Charley" - Jul 22 15:07:01 2008

Okay, after looking at the data sheet, it's definitely asynchronous. 
And according to the dsp/bios, all the r/w strobe/setup/hold widths 
are set to the maximum values. 

How do I make sure the slave memory has a max r/w rate? What should I 
look for?

Looking at the bits in the IFCONFIG register, it seems that it set to 
external clock and asynchronous, but I don't know how to access the 
registers on the the usb controller or if they were even actually 
set. The registers look like they have been initialized randomly 
(consecutively) like this all the way through

#define	IFCONFIG		0x0001
#define	FLAGSAB			0x0002
#define	FLAGSCD			0x0003
#define	POLAR			0x0004
#define	REVID			0x0005

So I guess my question is, how do I set the registers?

I think you are correct, but the CY7C68001 data sheet by itself doesn't tell
you
whether the device is being used in sync or async mode.  This chip supports
both
types of interface.

The Avnet software that comes with the daughtercard should include some examples
that
a) configure EMIF registers to support the daughtercard, and b) configure
CY7C68001
registers.  Look for EMIF register settings in this code.  You can try to
minimize
timing, for example reduce wait-states.

I haven't looked at the Avnet card since 2005, but it's possible the Avnet
software
includes one or more APIs specifically intended for setting registers on the
device. 
You should look over the Avnet APIs very carefully.  If not, then my suggestion
is to
pick an API that does something like "initialize" or "set"
as an example, and 'follow
the code' from the API through the Avnet driver and onto the daughtercard.  From
that
you should be able to determine how to set registers on your own.
