SDK includes many peripheral applications (source
codes). You can find some quadrature decoder
applications in SDK
...motorola\embeddedSDK\DSP56F805\scr\application
directory.

I am struggling with SDK's interface for working with decoders (we
always call them 'encoders' in out part of the world ???). The
relevant section in the SDK Targetting manual seems quite confusing,
and there are no relevant examples that I can find ,where the encoder
interface is being used, as opposed to being linked through to a
Timer.

I am assuming I have to do the following:-

1. Declare a structure of type decoder_sSTate for receiving data from
the decoder interface.
2. Open the interface e.g. decFD=open(BSP_DEVICE_NAME_DECODER...)
3. ioctl(? ... Not sure here...

There are ioctl commands for reading position, pos change, and
revolutions, however the data return format is inconsistent between
the 3. There is also a command to read the hold data register. What I
don't understand is that the hold data will only contain data
transferred from the last read of the position, revolution, and
difference counters. Also, I don't know which switch matrix mode to
specify - presumably it doesn't matter as I am not using the (en)
decoder with the associated timer ?

Can somebody provide example code ?

Thanks,

Ian Duncan
