Hi, everyone. I've posted this to comp.dsp as well. Ideas welcome... I'm having some problems using/understanding the 21065L SHARC, and I wonder if anyone has any insights: 1. Referencing External Memory I'm developing an application that stores data in an external SDRAM. As I understand the manual, successive reads from consecutive external addresses should be single-cycle, while reads from non-consecutive addresses incur a penalty. I'm presently running the application in the VisualDSP simulator and seeing a penalty even for the former case, and a larger than expected penalty in the latter. My register settings are as follows (the memory is attached to Bank 0 in the target hardware): SYSCON=0x00000400 WAIT=0x21ad1b20 SDRDIV=0x000003a2 IOCTL=0xa8522000 These settings are consistent with my target hardware, which is a Bittware Spinner board. I'm wondering if anyone has seen similar behaviour, and whether I've set something incorrectly or just don't have an accurate understanding of the manual. 2. DMA I want to send samples from the SHARC's internal memory through SPORT0 to a waiting DAC. I have successfully used DMA chaining to do this, but have had no luck with "one-shot" DMA where I set up a single DMA transfer and then set up another in the SPORT0 Tx ISR. In fact, the processor hangs and the interrupt never seems to be generated at all. The data and non-DMA register settings are the same in both cases. Again, this is intended to run on a Spinner board. Any thoughts, insights or ideas would be most welcome. Thanks, Ken. |

Problems installing Visual DSP. IT sounds weird, bnut visual DSP doesn't want to recognize my board. I've the old EZ-KIT for 21060 and it works fine. Bt I really can't use the debugger , I don't have the COM setings in the Seting menu. Anyone had the same problem? DSPDEV.com DSP developement for Audio applications.
