Hi all,
I'm new to the C6711DSK and have a question regarding DSP/BIOS data
types. I'm outputting a 100Hz sin wave from my 88.2kHz DAC. To produce
this signal, I've filled a buffer of size 882, as follows -
Float sig[100];
Void main()
{
Int i;
for(i=0;i<882;i++)
sig[i] = cos(2*PI*100*i/(Float)(SR));
McBSP_Init();
EDMA_Init();
return;
}
With this code I get a load of about 70%, but when I change my
declaration to -
float sig[882];
and change nothing else, the load drops to 15% or so. Why is this?
I've also noticed that if I set the frequency of the output signal to
400Hz, with the same buffer size, my output has a slight distortion.
This glitch appears as if one of the samples is being outputted
incorrectly for every cycle of the signal. Its as if, a value is being
writen to the sig buffer which shouldn't be there. This glitch occurs
if I declare sig as -
float sig[100];
but disappears if I use -
Float sig[100];
If I declare the following -
float sig1[100]; //not used
float sig[100];
the glitch again disappears. When should I use DSP/BIOS data types and
when should I not?
I plan to write a PC application which allows the user to specify the
frequency they wish to output. To do this I was going to create a
memory segment of size 882, at base 0x20. I have the DSP set for 3 way
cache. The PC would then write in the samples to this buffer for
outputting. The available frequencies would be multiples of 100Hz. Is
this the best approach?
Thanks,
Fran.

<snips>> Float sig[100]; > > for(i=0;i<882;i++) > sig[i] = cos(2*PI*100*i/(Float)(SR));(A) The line Float sig[100]; reserves space for 100 f.p. numbers. By using a loop counter i which exceeds the maximum allowable array index value of 99 (i.e. 100 - 1), you are writing to memory areas beyond the allocated array space. You are trashing other variables stack. This can result in almost any behaviour/crash symptoms from the system. Recommmend you allocate 882 items (same value used as maximum loop count). (B) I am unfamiliar with TI DSP's, so I do not know what the following does: ��������McBSP_Init(); ��������EDMA_Init(); so I assume it is a legitimate way to send data to the DAC, but I don't see any parameters being passed, (like array base address & itemcount) which I would have expected. (C) Could you clarify what you mean by "load of xx%"? If this refers to some sort of CPU idle loop indication, changes to the declared array size will result in different kinds of crash. The CPU is doing a BTN (Branch to Telephone Number). Hope this helps Jim Adamthwaite

If you're looking to use the HPI you'll proably have difficulty getting it to work; the HPI is notoriously flaky on the C6711DSK. Have a google for some older threads on C6711 DSK HPI problems.

Sorry, I copied that array wrong - it is infact Float sig[882]; Late
night... Hers my code in more detail -
#pragma DATA_SECTION(hundred, "SIN_BUFFER")
float sin[882]; // changing this to Float changes the CPU load
dramatically
Void main()
{
Int i;
for(i=0;i<882;i++)
sin[i] = 0.25*cos(w(700.0)*i/(float)(SR));
McBSP_Init();
EDMA_Init();
return;
}
Void AudioSWI(PIP_Obj *in, PIP_Obj *out)
{
Uns *src, *dst;
Uns size;
Uns f1,f2; //each channel in floating point form
Uns size;
Int j=0;
size = getBuf(in, &src); // size = 128
allocBuf(out, &dst);
for (i = 0; i < size/2; i++)
{
if(j==882)
j=0;
f1 = sin[j]; // set channel 1 sample
// channel 1 and 2 stored as 32-bit
FloatToUns(*(dst+i),f1,f2);
}
putBuf(out, size);
freeBuf(in);
}

Why is this?What is the result of evaluation sizef (FLoat). The code in std.h: #if defined(_80_) || defined(_SUN_) || defined(_67_) typedef float Float; #else typedef double Float; #endif may be something to do with it if you haven't got the flags set properly in the DSP/BIOS to say that it is a C67x Processor.

Thats the problem, thanks. The thing is though, in my DSP/Bios config, I have set the Target Board Name to C6711 and the CSL to 6711. I'm presuming that the compiler thinks that I'm working on a C6211. What else might cause this?
