hi, greetings, How can I access IO register on 21992 using C language? It seems IO registers on ADSP 21992 are not mapped to system memory. If I want to access these IO registers, I need to set the IOPG first and then set the relative memory address for them. For example, if I want to write PWM0_TM, i can do this with Assemble language like this: IOPG=PWM0_Page; // page of PWM0 block ar = PWM_Period; IO(PWM0_TM)= ar; //write to PWM period register But how can I do this with C language? I can not figure out how to set the memory address for such IO registers. Thanks.

If you can write to I/O with a variable address you can make a generic pair of assembly routines that'll let you read and write I/O; you'll do this by passing the address (and maybe a write value), then passing back a read value (if it's a read). If you must use a fixed address (Bad ADI, BAD ADI) then you'll have to make a much of such routines -- I would generate them with a script... Double check to make sure that your compiler vendor hasn't done this for you. It's the sort of thing that a tool vendor should supply, not that they always do, or always get right when they bother. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com

No. I dont think these IO registers can be treated like RAM. I checked the memory map. The IO memory space seems a different part of RAM.

It isn't possible to do that portably, and portability is supposed to be a hallmark of high-level code. Any such access must always be a language extension specific to a particular processor.

I was interested in ADC control, but this could be used for any IO register: #include <adsp-2199x.h> #include <sysreg.h> sysreg_write(sysreg_IOPG, ADC_Page); io_space_write(ADC_CTRL, 0x0207);//write 0x207 into the ADC_CTRL register daphna.
