Hi Steve,

Actually, in some sense that's what I meant, but in
some sense, not.

I didn't mean I have the answer (although indeed, I do
have it). I just wanted him/her to try to find it
him/herself, given the abundancy of available
literature.

Girish didn't say what has he/she done so far, or how
much is he/she documented in that regard.

So, instead of giving a full explanation, which would
be worthless if he/she already documented him/herself,
I decided to point out to the already existing
documentation about the matter.

But you are right, maybe my reply was too quick and
general that I didn't point out in the right
direction.

So, I'd suggest you (Girish) to start reading the
information existing in the ADSP-218x Hardware
Reference Manual, which you can download from:
http://tinyurl.com/3uop2. From pages 9-21 to 9-50 you
can find a good explanation on how does that work,
etc.

Moreover, there are a few Engineer-To-Engineer Notes
(Application Notes) regarding IDMA and specifically
for the 2181 (most of them also apply for the whole
218x family, keeping in mind the "shared" pins in the
'84, '85, '86, '97, '88 and '89: There is also an EE
Note about that):

- AN-415: ADSP-2181 IDMA Interface to Motorola MC68300
Family of Microprocessors
- EE-158: ADSP-2181 EZ-Kit Lite IDMA to PC Printer
Port Interface
- EE-82: Using an ADSP-2181 DSP's IO Space to IDMA
Boot Another ADSP-2181
- EE-38: ADSP-2181 IDMA Port - Cycle Steal Timing
- EE-11: ADSP-2181 Priority Chain & IDMA Holdoffs

These can be downloaded from
http://www.analog.com/processors/processors/ADSP/technicalLibrary/,
a webpage that I recommend you (and all the ADSPers
who work with the 21xx) to bookmark.

And a suggestion, please be more specific with your
postings. The more specific and clear you are, the
better the answers you will get, whatever the
newsgroup / mailing list you post to (comp.dsp
, ,
etc...).

Regards,

Does this mean you have the answer but you want him to find it?

If so, do the right thing and tell him at least where to look.

Hello Girish,

Yes this is possible. You can do it for instance with the parallel port of your
PC in EPP mode. A 82C55 I/O IC can be used to interface the IDMA port: Use the
ports A and B to connect the 16 bit IDMA bus; and use port C for the IDMA
control lines. I have made a schematic to realise this but I have to dig it up,
are you interested?

regards,
Leon

Did you read the Hardware Reference Manual, with the
DSPs datasheet at hand?

Hello all,

I want to read a set of 16 bit values from ADSP-2181 when DSP is running.I know this is possible only with IDMA.

Can some one help me in doing the same or can any one give me some example

Bye
Girish
