Strange assembler move instruction

Started by Bruno Tremblay February 19, 2003
Hi,

I'm working with the DSP56F803 for sometime in C and I just begun using
inline assembly in my code today. unsigned int To_Out;
To_Out = 0x40A1
asm (move To_Out,A);
asm (rol A);
asm (move A,To_Out);

Since the carry was 1, the contents of A1 was 0x8123 after the rol
instruction. The problem is with the "move A,To_Out". After the move
instruction, the contents of To_Out was 0x7FFF not 0x8123. I tried other
value and it's work fine for some.

Thanks for the help.

Bruno




One thing you could check is the setting of the OMR's Saturation (SA), Rounding
(R), and Condition Code (CC) bits, which affect the saturation, limiting, and
rounding of the data in the accumulators (A and B). Please see the following
Sections in the DSP56800 Family Manual:
Section 3.4 "Saturation and Data Limiting"
Section 3.4.2 "MAC Output Limiter"
Section 3.5 "Rounding"
Section 3.6 "Condition Code Generation"
Section 5.1.9 "Operating Mode Register"

I hope this helps.

Thanks Art and Chuck,

I found the answer in the section 3.4.1. By using A1 instead of A,
it disable the limiter that cause the saturation.
