Hi all, Just a quick check. Is it good to use SWI with SIO in TI's DSP/BIOS? Any pointer? Thanks in advance... tnk

I haven't a clue about your needs, but I can say with certainty "It depends on what you want to do."

It works perfectly fine while using PIP with SWI. When I try to work with SIO model together with SWI, it is not working especially, I think, input DHL driver didn't trigger the interrupt. I used swi_andnHook to syn the input output( similarly to the one used in PIP model). don't know where went wrong. tnk

(I assume you don't need that explained.) To do real physical I/O, you want to respond to a physical interrupt (In this case, from the UART).

I am using evm (dm642 to be precised) board and connect through ISA JTAG emulator board.) What I am trying to do is to stream the data from computer using SIO module(provided by dsp bios) and throw the data back to computer. there are two models actually to work with. One is PIP model used together with SWI and the other one is SIO module. I have seen PIP model work but SIO model....... still have problem. sighh.... tnk

A software interrupt is a way to put to another use the rather elaborate facilities that a processor may have for servicing interrupts. Think of swi as an alternate and sometimes advantageous subroutine call. Like any other subroutine call, it is useless for dealing with externals not being attended to by the running program.

Are you using it properly?This brings back to mind early IBM PC programming where DOS and BIOS calls were made through the software interrupt facility of the 8086, and so these calls were called "DOS interrupts" and "BIOS interrupts". I always thought these names were confusing and misleading, but what did I know...>Jerry----- http://mindspring.com/~benbradley
