Code Composer Studio..help!

Hi,

I have a project in CCS under windowsXPpro where I want to delay the
execution of the processor but I can't find a suitable function for that.
I try to use function Sleep from windows.h but then I get the: #error
'ERROR: Only Win32 target supported!'
Can anyone help?

greetz,
Ger

Are you trying to compile a call into a program to run on the DSP
using a Windows system call?  That is not possible.  If you need a
delay function, you should try writing one yourself.  It can be a
simple loop.  The number of repeats of the loop is based on the total
amount of the delay you want, and on the clock speed of your DSP.

Hi Jack,

yes that's what I am trying. Isn't it strange that there isn't a function
that waits a specific time and that you should write it yourself? The thing
is that I send packages to another DSP and after I have send the message and
want to wait some time cause otherwise the receiver can't handle it that
fast.
But ok I try your idea, maybe I just have to get into DSP programming:-)

greetz,
Ger

There is a function, but you would need to use the DSP/BIOS operating system
on your code.  The OS when in tasking mode provides a TSK_sleep(n) function,
where n = milleseconds.

An example of a simple DSP/BIOS program is probably found in the compiler.

Good Luck

Hi,

how can I use the DSP/BIOS operating system? The function TSK_sleep(n) is
highlighted in the source code but when I build the program it says :

undefined                        first referenced
 symbol                              in file
---------                        ----------------
_TSK_sleep                       H:\inberg\source\uart.obj
>> symbol referencing errors - robot.out not built

The help function in code composer doesn't seem to know TSK or TSK_sleep...
Any ideas how to solve this?

greetz,
Ger..feeling a real newbie

Well, I guess it is possible that you have a version of Code Composer Studio
that does not include the DSP/BIOS operating system.  One thing that I
missed in your original post is that you do not mention what TI DSP (C6x,
C5x, etc.)  or what version of CCS you are using.

Typically CCS has an examples directory that should have a program or two
written using DSP/BIOS.  If not you should be able to write a simple sleep
function that does what you want.

Basically, you should be able to write a simple function.

void timed_sleep(unsigned int ms)
{
   register unsigned int count = 0;
   unsigned int total;

   total  = ms * NUMBER_OF_COUNTS_MS;
   while (count < total)
   {
      count += 1;
   }
}

You will need to calculate, based on the processor clock speed the
NUMBER_OF_COUNTS_MS value.  This should provide a delay, but may not be as
accurate as you like.

I may have something around here for a C64x running at 600MHz that I can
scrounge up.
