A/d sdk driver for 56f807 question

Started by Roelof Oelofsen April 19, 2002
Hi group,

I just started to explore the A/D SDK driver for the 56f807. My
question is this:
If I set the A/D up in loop sequential mode, the conversion complete
interrupt will be disabled. In the header file the auther states that I
must use the ADC_STATE_READ ADC ioctl command. Howver, how will I know
if the conversion is still in progress (No macro to read CIP bit in API)
or if I am reading the ADC register too frequent (Read one sample more
than once)?

Thank you in advance

While you may not be able to do exactly what you want with a specific driver
and its API, there is always the basic system API.
periphMemWrite();
periphMemRead();
periphBitTest();
Etc...

These are defined in periph.h.

It has been my experience, that as I become more familiar with a specific
peripheral, the less I use the SDK drivers, and the more I gravitate to
optimizing the specific features I need via direct manipulation of the
peripheral registers, even resorting to my own interrupt routines in
assembly language when necessary.

I very much appreciate the SDK as a starting point, and for providing the
building blocks for a complete system. Working within its framework,
provides early success, and early feedback on the usefulness and viability
of the hardware as implemented. However, as my application has progressed,
I find that the only parts of the SDK that are left, are initialization, the
framework for register context, certain functions that are "just what the
doctor ordered," and other non-critical parts of my application.

I have never expected it to be anything else, that what it is. Taken
individually, most drivers and API's are of production quality. However,
would I build a system without replacing a few of the critical API's or
drivers with my own specialized routines? I sincerely doubt it.

Hope this helps, without stirring up too much controversy.
