DMA configuration with DSP563xx

Started by Michael Herrscher June 3, 1999
Dear Sir,
We are working with the DSP56309 (we have moved from the 56302) and we
have some problems to configure the DMA controller. We have a complex
input signal (I and Q channels) which is sampled at a 192 kHz rate and
we would like to output this signal on our Audio interface at a 38.4 kHz

frequency. We have defined two external registers SP_I and SP_Q at
adresses Y:$ffff83 and Y:$FFFF84 for our ADCs and we use the DMA channel

0 in LINE transfer mode. The DMA0 channel must:
a) read I and Q samples each 192 kHz (IRQ_D interrupt) and store the
values in a buffer
b) generate an interrupt after 5 I and Q samples have been read
The Audio-output is done in the DMA interrupt (192 kHz/5 = 38.4 kHz)
using the ESSI0 transmitter after a simple decimation and some
filterings.

We have written some assembly-language code (see attached file) and we
have noticed that the output signal is distorted when the nops in the
lDmaInitRegisters macro are removed. Even with the nops, the output is
sometimes not correct.
Our software processes commands received from a i386ex HOST and an
example of call sequence of the different functions will be:

1. Initialise DSP registers and ESSI0 interface as described in
attached text file
2. Call SpDisableAcquisition();
3. Idle state: SpDisableAcquisition() will be called many times (at
least once)
4. DSP receives a START command: SpEnableAcquisition() is called
5. DSP receives a STOP command: goto state 3

We have the following questions:
a) when we remove the nops from the lDma0InitRegisters macro the audio
output
signal is awfully distorted because the Audio output is not done
regularly. In fact it
seems that the DMA0 interrupt does not occur regularly (38.4 kHz). Why?
b) with the instruction "jclr #M_DTD0,x:M_DSTR,*" in SpEnableAcquisition

function, we have noticed that the software loops in this instruction
for
ever. Why?
c) we have also noticed that the nops in SpDisableAcquisition function
are
necessary. With only 2 nops, the output signal is distorted too. Why 4
nops?
Because of the RTS instruction?

Thanks for your help
Regards
M. Herrscher
