Excellent !
Congratulations :)
Well done !
 
I thank you so very much for your helps as well as other guys from DSP-related groups who helped me to success in this project.
Tonight is one of the best nights of my life !
I feel like I'm in the air :))

I'm working on different DSP project via TMS320C6713-DSK for like 2 years, but I had a little problem with this project which was unbelievable !
I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can put my mental and physical energy into some huge steps instead.
It was very odd how could I make it ! but I thank you all so much :)

As matter of fact, It's no Nobel, but to me ; it was a gift from heaven the way I could afford this problem :)
Eventually, it occurred to me that my code must be true and sufficient; my hardware was authentic as well, so I just found out that I should check only CE1, CE2, CE3 and other read/write/output pins of my DSK. I've all EMIF manuals of TI Inc, and I've tested about 4-5 hundreds of lines for configuring EMIF registers, but I wasn't right !
Anyway, I've tested my whole interfaced board and my connections, my whole design, from software to hardware, then I found out it will work
just by pulling down (connect the pin to GND) the Pin-75 of (peripheral expansion interface)PCI (NOT EMIF) connector.
then both of my hardwares (the one with 74ls244 and LEDs, and the one with microcontroller directly interfaced to EMIF without any buffer or latch)
will work perfectly. And of course If do not put your main function in an infinite loop, you should hold the data by a latch or flip-flop.
To sum up, I should state that you do not need any gel file (except the default one for startup) or CSL function or ... to config EMIF registers individually. The headers I've included are enough for a complete signal processing project using codec (for analog inputs and outputs), EMIF expansion (as digital output), etc. So notice that this code is very short but much more clever than what brilliant minds might think !
Thank you TI,
Best Regards,

Richard-

I think he would need the basic DSK C6713 .gel file. My concern is that he didn't add anything to the .gel file (or
otherwise, using some run-time code) to enable the daughtercard CEn space.

Wave,

If I may ask, why do you need a gel file?
If we know reason why you need a gel file, then we can advise on gel file
contents.

Your added chip, 74hc244, is not directly connected to the pins of the DSP.
therefore, the main concern for programming is the I/0 address (either
0x90000000 or 0xa0000000) and assuring that the appropriate CSx configuration
registers are initialized to set the 74hc244 CS pins low when the desired
address range is accessed.

A gel file is useful for:
--initial development when some 'extra' addressable device (like SDRAM/FLASH)
is attached to the DSP address/data bus lines.

startup/connect Gel files are used to pre-set certain DSP registers:
--to initialize the CCS debugger address mapping.
--to initialize the DSP FLASH loader address mapping.
--to initialize the PLL and similar peripheral devices
--and similar operations.

A gel file is not available outside the development environment, so should not
be depended upon.

BTW:
1) I disable any gel file that is not specifically for the CCS address
mapping, so they are not executed at 'connect' time.
2) I do use gel files to run macros to implement multi step, repeatable debug
sequences.

R. Williams

Dear Richard , Jeff
 
I thank you so very much for your helps.
I really really appreciate your help.
 
BTW, I said 74hc245 and LVDTH16245 which are both bi-directional buffers are the same exactly, so we have to just use 74hc244 on my interface board.
 
So I will test and check everything twice by your considerations and will let you know  about it.
Could you help me with the gel file required code as well, please ?
 
Thanks a lot again.
 
you guys are the bests :)

Richard-

I would add that for the DSK C6713 board, (used in Rulph Chassaing book examples), the .gel file needs to be modified
to enable the appropriate CEn space used by the expansion connectors.

Suggest that Saadeq Rafieee (Mr. Wave) post his .gel file. If the expansion EMIF is not enabled and set for async
operation, that would be an obvious problem.

Wave,

First, a 74HC244 is a dual 4 bit line driver.
the LVTH16245A is a dual 8 bit bi-directional line driver.
*I* would not call them 'exactly like'.

----------------------------
Have you placed a logic analyzer on the LVDTH16245A to determine if it is being
enabled and that the appropriate data is being passed into/outof the chip?

If the above check fails, then the EMIF registers need to be initialized.
*I* would put a forever loop around the assignment statement so you can see the
activity happening without having to catch a single instance of the activity.

I would trigger on the 1/OE and/or the 2/OE signals.
--
Confirm that the data write is getting to the LVTH16245A,
If not, then the EMIF registers need to be appropriately initialized.
--
After confirmation that the data write is getting to the LVTH16245A,
then I would place a logic analyzer on the pins of the DSK port.
--
Confirm that the data write is getting to the pins of the DSK port.
This needs to include...
--the signals that will go to the NAn lines of the 74HC244 chip.
--the signals that will go to the 1/OE and 2/OE lines of the 74HC244 chip.
this will probably be the appropriate /CS signal from the DSP.
--the signals that will go to the 1An and 2An lines of the 74HC244 chip.

Also connect the logic anaylzer to the corresponding pins of the 74HC244 chip
to assure the data is going to the correct pins.

One more thing.
Assure the power and ground are getting to the 74HC244 chip.

--------------------
If the EMIF interface needs to be initialized,
then you should read the T.I. SPRA433E application report.

You might want to read:
spx>
which, amongst other things says the EMIF asynchronous mode of operation begins
at address 0x90000000, rather than using the synchronous mode of operation which
begins at address 0xA0000000.
I would suggest using the asynchronous mode as otherwise the device/circuit
attached to the EMIF interface has to properly perform all the needed handshake
to be able to transfer any data.

Dear Williams,
Thanks a lot.
LVDTH16245A is an two direction buffer which is already used in TMS320C6713 DSK, so there's no need to use another two direction beffer after the 80 pins EMIF connector for this board.
74hc245 is something exactly like LVDTH16245A, so it's not necessary.
As Just like mentioned in chassing's book, 74hc244 should work, and I'm so professional in electronic, so the problem con not be from my hardware, it has something to do with my codeonly.
Thank you very much.

Wave,

According to the referenced posting...
Each of the outputs for the EMIF interface need to be buffered because the
outputs have little ability to drive a load.
Therefore, I suspect the main problem is inadequate 'glue' logic between the
EMIF pins and the (74HC244/74HC245).
BTW:
which is correct, 74HC244 or 74HC245?

Dear David Valencia,

As I saw the solution as below :

http://www.dsprelated.com/showcode/9.php

And as I've mailed hundereds of inquiries in dsprelated c6x group about this "EMIF as an output" application of EMIF which is an exercise in Rulph Chassing book , but no one could help me with that.
It's been a year that I 'm working on this project but I still couldn't run this program truly.
I also implemented this hardware via 74hC244 as mentioned in chassing's book.
but I need your "output.h" and your whole project for this code please.
so please help me we this, I'll sincerely appreciate that.
pleaseeeee... I need the full codes of this project.
