mismatch between the EDMA and McBSP element length

Started by k seshu babu November 25, 2002
hi all

I am using DSK6711 I got a problem

If the EDMA is configured to tranfer 16-bit elements how will the McBSP handle
if it is configured to tranfer only 8-bit elements.
I mean how will the mismatch between the EDMA and McBSP element length handled
DXR is 32-bit register so will it(McBSP) put 24 MSB zero bits and followed by
the 8-bit element in DXR and shift out of the processor? If this is the case it
is tranfering 24 0-bits firstwhich it is not supposed to.

thanks a lot

hi all

does CCS have an 8-bit data type? If not how to handle 8-bit numbers/arrays
while processing.

thanks a lot
