Write to SharedMem from DSP and read it from ARM
Added by stefan nielsen almost 10 years ago
Hi im trying to write to some shared memory from the DSP and read it back from the ARM. Ive expanded the HelloWorldDSP project, so memory is mapped as in that project. I tried on 4 different memory areas.
DSP code:
#define SHARED_MEM_BASE 0x80000000 #define IRAM_MEM_BASE 0x11800000 #define POOL_MEM_BASE 0xC6830000 #define DSP_MEM_BASE 0xC6000080 unsigned int volatile * const port_shared = (unsigned int *) SHARED_MEM_BASE; unsigned int volatile * const port_iram = (unsigned int *) IRAM_MEM_BASE; unsigned int volatile * const port_pool = (unsigned int *) POOL_MEM_BASE; unsigned int volatile * const port_dsp = (unsigned int *) DSP_MEM_BASE; unsigned int value = 1; char tmp[80]; sprintf(tmp,"********** Log Test trying to write Shared Mem to adr: %#010x, value %d ******* \n",SHARED_MEM_BASE,value); debugPrint(tmp); *port_shared = value; // write to port / value = *port_shared; // read from port / sprintf(tmp,"********** Log Test read from Shared Mem adr: %#010x, value read: %d ******* \n",SHARED_MEM_BASE,value); debugPrint(tmp);
This seems to work for the DSP and all read back values are okay, using similar printouts.
ARM code:
#define SHARED_MEM_BASE 0x80000000
#define POOL_MEM_BASE 0xC6830000
#define IRAM_MEM_BASE 0x11800000
#define DSP_MEM_BASE 0xC6000080
unsigned int volatile * const port_pool = (unsigned int *) POOL_MEM_BASE;
unsigned int volatile * const port_shared = (unsigned int *) SHARED_MEM_BASE;
unsigned int volatile * const port_iram = (unsigned int *) IRAM_MEM_BASE;
unsigned int volatile * const port_dsp = (unsigned int *) DSP_MEM_BASE;
char tmp[80];
int value_pool = *port_pool; // read from port /
int value_iram = *port_iram; // read from port /
int value_shared = *port_shared; // read from port /
int value_dsp = *port_dsp; // read from port /
sprintf(tmp,"*** Log Test read from adr: %#010x, value:%d, adr: %#010x, value:%d, adr: %#010x, value:%d, adr: %#010x, value:%d ******* \n"
,POOL_MEM_BASE
,value_pool
,IRAM_MEM_BASE
,value_iram
,SHARED_MEM_BASE
,value_shared
,DSP_MEM_BASE
,value_dsp);
printf(tmp);
This makes the ARM give up. Below is the response seen in the consol.

I also tried
unsigned int NumOfBytes = 4;
static unsigned int res[4] = {0,0,0,0};
lpDspApp->ReadMemory((void*)IRAM_MEM_BASE, 4, &res[0]);
sprintf(tmp,"*** Log Test read from adr: %#010x, value read[0]:%d,read[1]:%d,read[2]:%d,read[3]:%d ******* \n",IRAM_MEM_BASE,res[0],res[1],res[2],res[3]);
printf(tmp);
but no luck and similar response as above.
Anybody has any idea as to what im duing wrong ?
thanks in advance

RE: Write to SharedMem from DSP and read it from ARM - Added by Michael Williamson almost 10 years ago
The linux OS uses virtual memory addresses. You can't access RAM by physical address in the normal case.
You need to use /dev/mem and mmap in the memory you want to access (though it will not be cacheable with this technique). See the examples folder in the MDK or trying searching / googling for linux memory map and /dev/mem for example code. Or you need to use the DSPLINK API for memory access.
Otherwise, you'll need to write a linux kernel module in order to get direct access to memory.
Sorry.

RE: Write to SharedMem from DSP and read it from ARM - Added by stefan nielsen almost 10 years ago
Hi thanks for the quick reply. I found some stuff of how to do it on the ARM side, following the example you pointed out. On the DSP is it okay to write to memory as showed above ?
RE: Write to SharedMem from DSP and read it from ARM - Added by Michael Williamson almost 10 years ago
DSP code is OK, though if you have the caches enabled for the regions of SRAM or RAM you may need to add a cache write back call to ensure the data is moved to external memory for the ARM to pick up.

You may find this post helpful for transmitting non-string data using dsplink. https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/boards/10/topics/4178?r=4179#message-4179
Note that the tsData::data_ptr requires tcDspApp::ReadMemory() on the ARM side to copy the memory into ARM space.
RE: Write to SharedMem from DSP and read it from ARM - Added by stefan nielsen almost 10 years ago
Hi thanks for the help, I still got some problems with reading on the ARM.
ARM code:
const char memDevice[] = "/dev/mem";
int *map = NULL;
int _fdmem;
/* open /dev/mem and error checking */
_fdmem = open( memDevice, O_RDWR | O_SYNC );
if (_fdmem < 0){
printf("Failed to open the /dev/mem !\n");
return 0;
}
else{
printf("open /dev/mem successfully !\n");
}
/* mmap() the opened /dev/mem */
map= (int *)(mmap(0,MAPPED_SIZE,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED,_fdmem,DDR_RAM_PHYS));
And then i read like this:
// use 'map' pointer to access the mapped area!
for (int i=0;i<10;i++)
printf("content: 0x%x\n",*(map+i));
This gets me the values i wrote from the DSP, but the ARM side just doesnt continuing running my app.
Then tried this as suggested.
int res[10]; char tmp[80]; lpDspApp->ReadMemory((void*)map, 4, &res[0]); sprintf(tmp,"*** Log Test value read[0]:%d,read[1]:%d,read[2]:%d,read[3]:%d ******* \n",res[0],res[1],res[2],res[3]); printf(tmp);
but his does not give me the correct values written from the DSP. Any ideas what im missing ?
Thanks Stefan
RE: Write to SharedMem from DSP and read it from ARM - Added by stefan nielsen almost 10 years ago
Hi
do i need to use
int tcDspApp::SetSharedMemCfg(tsSharedMemCfg* pConfig)
or
int tcDspApp::SetPoolCfg(uint32_t anNumBufPools, uint32_t *apBufSizes,
uint32_t *apNumBuf, bool abExactMatch)
to use the Iram at 0x11802000 on the DSP ?
RE: Write to SharedMem from DSP and read it from ARM - Added by Michael Williamson almost 10 years ago
No you don't need ot use SetSharedMemCfg() or SetPoolCfg() if you are not using the tcDspInbound and tcDspOutbound message passing frameworks.
If you look at the dspapp.cpp file in the MDK, you will see the following parameters:
/** * Read a section of DSP memory. This is a light wrapper for the PROC_read() * call. * * \param DspAddr Physical Memory pointer of source data * * \param NumBytes number of bytes to transfer * * \param DestAddr Virtual Address of destination * * \return non-zero on error. */ int tcDspApp::ReadMemory(void* DspAddr, unsigned int NumBytes, void* DestAddr)
The ReadMemory call, I believe, takes a DSP physical address as the source not a memory mapped address. I don't think you want to call it with the map variable.

RE: Write to SharedMem from DSP and read it from ARM - Added by stefan nielsen almost 10 years ago
Hi mike
your are rigth. I tried it before the
map= (int *)(mmap(0,MAPPED_SIZE,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED,_fdmem,DDR_RAM_PHYS));
and forgot to correct it back.. Its working now, thanks alot..
RE: Write to SharedMem from DSP and read it from ARM - Added by Frank C over 9 years ago
Hi,
I am trying to get the shared memory working as well (by writing from DSP side and reading back from ARM side) using the HelloWorld as a basis. But ARM side doesn't read back correct values. I am using the same stuff from here. It seems I don't need to use /dev/mmap if I use ReadMemory call
Could you take a look at it and see what I am missing? Thanks
DSP side write value 1
#define SHARED_MEM_BASE 0xC6800000 unsigned int volatile * const port_shared = (unsigned int *) SHARED_MEM_BASE; ... value = 1; sprintf(tmp,"DSP... Writing to addr %#010x: %d\n",port_shared, value); debugPrint(tmp); *(port_shared) = value;
ARM side read
#define SHARED_MEM_BASE 0xC6800000 ... tcDspApp* lpDspApp = NULL; lpDspApp = new tcDspApp(); ... lpDspApp->ReadMemory((void*)SHARED_MEM_BASE, 4, &res[0]); sprintf(tmp,"ARM... Reading from address %#010x:%d\t%d\t%d\t%d\n",SHARED_MEM_BASE, res[0],res[1],res[2],res[3]); printf(tmp); }
dspapp.h has the memory addresses as:
SharedMemCfg() : RESETCTRLADDR (0xC6000000) , RESETCTRLSIZE (0x80) , CODEMEMORYADDR (0xC6000080) , CODEMEMORYSIZE (0x007FFF80) , SHAREDMEMORYADDR0(0xC6800000) , SHAREDMEMORYSIZE0(0x00005000) , SHAREDMEMORYADDR1(0xC6805000) , SHAREDMEMORYSIZE1(0x0002B000) , POOLMEMORYADDR (0xC6830000) , POOLMEMORYSIZE (0x00800000)

RE: Write to SharedMem from DSP and read it from ARM - Added by Jonathan Cormier over 9 years ago
Pretty sure you have to flush the DSP cache after changing values.
RE: Write to SharedMem from DSP and read it from ARM - Added by Frank C over 9 years ago
Thanks for the cache info. Completely missed that part.
I reverted to the original code, and I've added BCACHE_wb() call after I write to memory on the DSP side, but I still have a problem somewhere.
I changed the SHARED_MEM_BASE to 0x80000000
and when I read from the ARM side, it just spits out some random data, and StopApp() call gives
ERROR: DSP_EWRONGSTATE StopApp - Error in PROC_stop [0x8000801b]
and it just hangs there.
Is there anything else I am missing here?
Thanks!
