Call to tcDspFpgaGpio::ConfigurePin() makes the Dsp crash

Added by Michele Canepa over 10 years ago

Dear Sirs,
I have to use a GPIO bank over FPGA to route some interrupts (let's say 8) through the fpga to the DSP.
For the purpose, I have used the call to tcDspFpgaGpio::ConfigurePin() method and subsequently SetISRCallback() method to hook the ISR to the GPIO event.

Everything worked fine for the first two GPIOs, Bank:0 Offset:0 and Bank:1 Offset:1, I could setup interrupt and see them arriving smoothly without problems.

Something strange happened when I try to configure the third pin, Bank:0 Offset:2: this call makes the DSP crash and I have to reset the EVM.

I post the code snippet for both C side and VHDL:

DSP SIDE: inside the init task

@void init() {
// Buffer for return message
char lpReturnMessage256;
//======== DSPLINK buffer ===========================
// Create the outbound debug link
gpDebug = new tcCL_IPCOutbound("debug");
// Create the inbound link for messages to the DSP
gpInbound = new tcCL_IPCInbound();
gpInbound->Open("DSPMSGQ0", 8);
if (NULL != gpInbound) {
// Register a callback function to handle messages from the ARM
gpInbound->RegisterCallback(handleInboundMessage, (void*)NULL);
}
// Create the outbound controller for sending messages to the ARM
gpOutbound = new tcCL_IPCOutbound("GPPMSGQ1");
//Fpga firmware initialization
tcDspFirmware::set_firmware_base((void*)FPGA_BASE_ADDR); //This is the base address of FPGA
int r1 = tcDspInterruptDispatch::set_hw_interrupt_level(0,10);
//End of frame core initialization
tcDspFpgaGpio Eof0 = new tcDspFpgaGpio((void)0x66000080);
int rconf0=Eof0->ConfigurePin(0,0,0,0,true,false);
int rconf1=Eof0->ConfigurePin(0,1,0,0,true,false); //Until this line everything works fine !! <----------
//Eof0->ConfigurePin(0,2,0,0,true,false); //This line makes the dsp crash...<-------
//Eof0->ConfigurePin(0,3,0,0,true,false);@

int isrconf0= Eof0->SetISRCallback(0,0,MyISR0,NULL);
int isrconf1=Eof0->SetISRCallback(0,1,MyISR0,NULL);
//isrconf0= Eof0->SetISRCallback(0,2,MyISR0,NULL);
//isrconf1=Eof0->SetISRCallback(0,3,MyISR0,NULL);@

VHDL snippet for the instantiation if the FPGA GPIO core.

Definitions:

constant CORE_INT_EOF: integer:=1;
constant CORE_INT_EOF_LEVEL : integer := 0;
constant CORE_INT_EOF_VECTOR: integer := 0;

Instantiation of the core.

-- Map end of frames to interrupts.

Please give me an idea, because I don't know how to manage this sudden mistake..
Do you see anything wrong?
Why should not work the third call to ConfigurePin()?

Thanks in advance,

Michele

RE: Call to tcDspFpgaGpio::ConfigurePin() makes the Dsp crash - Added by Michael Williamson over 10 years ago

Hi Michele,

Set the CORE_INT_EOF_LEVEL to 1.

Our framework uses 2 levels (2 seperate GPIO interrupt lines between FPGA and OMAP-L138). By default, level 0 is used for cores managed by the ARM and level 1 is used for cores managed by the DSP.

The FPGA is asserting an interrupt condition on Level 0, and the ARM is catching the interrupt and doesn't have a registered handler for the vector being reported (because the DSP is supposed to be handling it).

You should also use level 1 on set_hw_interrupt_level().

If you need both levels on the DSP, then you will need to modify the ARM linux driver core to not attempt to service level 0 interrupts from the FPGA.

-Mike

Thanks Mike!
That was definitely the reason of the crash.
Thank you.
