Right.  You don't even need to load it into an index register if you 
don't want to:

f0 = dm(0xFFD00000);

I dunno if that is an option either.  I'd use a loop counter.  How did 
you intend to stop the program "in real life" (that is, when it's not 
running in a simulation)?

You're welcome.

So I don't have to declare variable for example: .VAR data_noise? I can 
read directly from memory where stream should be?

You're right. The simplest way is to read stream in a loop. And it's 
enough for me.

I don't know whether simulator throws an error. I get only message in 
console. I found in AD technical note EE-104:

http://www.analog.com/UploadedFiles/Application_Notes/887550658ee_104.pdf

in point 6 that I should see an dialog box after hiting a EOF but in 
VisualDSP 4.5 Debugger i don't get any box. I can set stream options 
like: circular, rewind on reset or restart but not stop simulation after 
EOF:).
I was looking in Project/Debug options but without result.


Thanks.

i4 = 0xFFD00000;

You can also place it manually in the ldf file, but that's an exercise 
left for the reader.

You could set up a variable that tells you how many samples to expect 
from your data file and decrement it as you read the samples.  Stop when 
it goes to zero.  Or you could use a "special" value in your data file 
as a null-terminator.  This will only work if you can guarantee that the 
null-terminator value will never appear in your data.  You could also 
make the first word of the data file a number-of-samples count.  Or you 
could wait until the simulator throws an error because of reading an EOF 
(assuming it does that) and then hand-edit an end-of-data flag.

I solved my problem almost completly so I'll share my experience.

To simulate stream input I use variable definition in C file:

///////////////variable.c/////////////
...
volatile float* data_noise = (volatile float*) 0xFFD00000;
...
//////////////////////////////////////

and then in main.asm I just use it:

///////////////main.asm///////////////
.extern _data_noise;
...

i4 = dm(_data_noise);
m5 = 0;
f0 = dm(m5, i4);
//////////////////////////////////////

Next, I define stream: Settings->Streams like this:
Source:
	-File: path to file.dat
	-Format: in my case Floating point 32bit
Destination:
	-Device: 32-bit mem Map Port I/0
	-Address: 0xFFD00000

And every read from data_noise I get data from stream file (!!!!:))

BUT I have some questions:
1) How can I define variable (pointer to) in asm on a specific address? 
(like in C above)
2) How can I detect EOF (end of stream file)? I get in Console 
information "Encountered end of file: ...., Rewind" and get last data 
from the stream. I'd like to stop simulation after EOF.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,
I'm debugging some simple algorithms on ADSP-21161 Simulator and I need 
to simulate input data from A/C (audio stream, 400k samples).
What's the simplest way to do it?

Until now, I put some array into program or data memory (initilize using 
file.dat) but array length is limited by internal memory. I tried to 
change memory range but I get error: "Invalid memory range and/or width 
for memory ..".

I found "Settings->Streams" option where I can define source file. How 
can I read this stream in my asm code? Do I have to use SPORT0 ISR?

Thanks for help.
