Help with DMA in PIC18f26k42
PostPosted: Thu May 09, 2019 6:14 am     Reply with quote

Hi all,

My compiler version is: 5.085.

Pic is 18f26k42.

The hardware works fine.

I am try to use dma with a ram buffer and spi.
Code:
char buffer_rx[3700];

If i use :
Code:

for(i=1;i<contador;i++) {
           
spi_write(false,buffer_rx[i]);
             
}

this work fine.

But if i use dma code only the first 3 bytes are sent.

The test code only put 3700 bytes in a array and try to send this with dma to spi.
Code:
setup_dma(1,DMA_TRIGGER_NONE,DMA_TRIGGER_NONE);

I use this because the software trigger the dma.
Code:
dma_start(1,DMA_SOURCE_ADDR_IS_SFR_GPR|DMA_INC_SOURCE_ADDR|DMA_DEST_ADDR_UNCHANGED|DMA_SW_TRIGGER_STARTS_XFER|DMA_START_NOW,getenv("SFR:SPI1TXB"),&buffer_rx[0],contador-1,contador-1);

The idea is to transfer all data in the buffer to spi when this is done.

The fuses setup are:

I use restart_wdt in the code.

Code:
#include <18F26K42.h>
#device ADC=16

#FUSES WDT                      //Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES WDT512                   //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:512 Postscale
#FUSES RSTOSC_EXT               //On Power-up clock running from External Oscillator
#FUSES PRLOCK1WAY               //PRLOCKED bit can be cleared and set only once
#FUSES CKS                      //Clock Switching Enabled
#FUSES FCMEN                    //Fail-safe clock monitor enabled
#FUSES MCLR                     //Master Clear pin enabled
#FUSES NOPUT                    //No Power Up Timer
#FUSES MVECEN                   //Vector tables used for interrupts
#FUSES IVT1WAY                  //IVTLOCKED bit can be cleared and set only once
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#FUSES BORV24                   //Brownout reset at 2.4V
#FUSES ZCDDIS                   //Zero-cross detect circuit is disabled at POR
#FUSES PPS1WAY                  //Allows only one reconfiguration of peripheral pins
#FUSES STVREN                   //Stack full/underflow will cause reset
#FUSES WDTSW                    //Watch Dog Timer Postscale settable in software
#FUSES WDTWIN_SW                //Watchdog Window is settable in software
#FUSES WDTCLK_SW                //WDT clock source settable in software
#FUSES BBSIZ512                 //Boot block size 512 bytes
#FUSES LVP                      //Low Voltage Programming on B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18)

#use delay(internal=64MHz,restart_wdt)

Thanks for any help.

Pedro.

ps(sorry for bad english).

Your transfer needs to be triggered by SPI1. It is the interrupt from this
that says it can take another byte. Currently it is 'burst transmitting' all the
bytes to the SPI, before the first one is sent, so all that ends up being sent is
the first byte, then the two that are accepted by the FIFO.
Triggering and starting are different things. You still start using software
(in the second command), but each transfer is 'triggered' by the SPI.

Help with DMA in PIC18f26k42(solved)

Thanks Ttelmah for your tip.

The correct commands are:
Code:
setup_dma(1,DMA_TRIGGER_SPI1TX,DMA_TRIGGER_NONE);

dma_start(1,DMA_SOURCE_ADDR_IS_SFR_GPR|DMA_INC_SOURCE_ADDR|DMA_DEST_ADDR_UNCHANGED|DMA_HW_TRIGGER_STARTS_XFER|0x01,getenv("SFR:SPI1TXB"),&leds,1,n_leds*3);

This is working perfect now.

Thanks a lot.

Well done. Smile

It was the three bytes that was the 'clue'....
