Outline • Outputting Using Direct Memory Access (DMA) • Sine Wave Generation Using Difference Equation
DMA • In polling and interrupts methods, usage of sin(.) function repeatedly consumes CPU cycles, which is computationally inefficient. • Solution: Use EDMA capabilities of the C6713 to read samples from a pre-computed table and load them into a McBSP DXR for transmission to a codec.
EDMA • Idea is that, with EDMA, CPU can initiate data transfer and do other operations while transfer is in progress. • More efficient than using regular I/O which keeps CPU occupied during entire transfer. • EDMA controller: • Handles all data transfers between L2 cache and peripherals. • Can move data to and from any addressable memory spaces (internal memory, external memory and peripherals) independently of CPU operations.
EDMA Features • Has 16 channels that can be assigned priorities. • Data transfers can be initiated by CPU or events. • Transfers can be 8-bit bytes, 16-bit half-words, or 32-bit words. • Can transfer 2-dimensional data blocks. • When an event occurs its transfer parameters are read from the Parameters RAM (PaRAM) and then sent to the address generation hardware.
EDMA Features • After an element transfer, addresses at source/destination can stay the same, get incremented or decremented. • After a programmed transfer, EDMA can continue transfers by linking to another transfer programmed in the PaRAM for same channel, or chaining to a transfer for another channel • Can generate transfer completion interrupts to the CPU along with a transfer complete code, for it to take desired action based on that code. • EDMA has a Quick DMA mode (QDMA) for quick, one-time transfers.
DMA • Each of the 16 channels has a default event (on peripheral devices) associated with it which triggers the data transfer. • User can change mapping by modifying EDMA Event Select registers ESEL0, ESEL1 and ESEL3.
DMA • Event Processing Registers: • Event Register (ER): when event n occurs, bit n of ER is set. • Event Enable Register (EER): setting bit n of EER enables processing of that event. • Event Clear Register (ECR): setting a bit in ECR clears corresponding bit in ER, used by CPU to clear event flags. • Event Set Register (ESR): setting a bit in ESR sets corresponding bit in ER, used by CPU to submit event requests and for debugging.
DMA • Parameter RAM (PaRAM): • Transfer parameter table for EDMA channels is stored in PaRAM. • It is a 2KB block of RAM located within EDMA. • Table consists of 24 bytes that contain all information about a transfer.
DMA • The OPT field: • Sets the priority, • Sets the element size: 8, 16, or 32 bits, • Defines sources as 1- or 2-dimensional, • Enables/disables transfer complete interrupt, • Defines transfer complete code, • Sets source/destination address update modes.
DMA • A 1-D block transfer consists of FRMCNT+1 frames. • Each frame consists of ELECNT elements. • Type 1 Transfer, if FS=0 in OPT field (sync event occurs, for example transition of McBSP XRDY flag from FALSE to TRUE for example) • A frame element is transferred from source to destination. • S/D Addresses are updated in parameter set after transfer. • ELECNT decremented by 1.
DMA • When ELECNT reaches 1, i.e. final element in frame, • Element is transferred, • ELECNT is reloaded with value in ELERLD. • FRMCNT is decremented by 1. • EDMA continues to transfer data at sync events until no more frames are available. • Type 2 Transfer, if FS=1 in OPT field, each sync event causes all elements of a frame to be transferred as rapidly as possible.
DMA • Linking EDMA Transfers: • When LINK bit of OPT is 0, EDMA stops after a transfer is complete. • If LINK=1 and transfer is completed, • Transfer parameters are reloaded with parameter set pointed to by 16-bit address located in LINK field. • EDMA continues with transfer of new set.
DMA • EDMA Interrupts to CPU • If Transfer Complete Interrupt (TCINT) bit is set to 1 in OPT field for a channel and event mapped to that channel occurs, EDMA will set a bit in Channel Interrupt Pending Register (CIPR). • Then, if bit corresponding to channel in Channel Interrupt Enable Register (CIER) is set, EDMA generates EDMA_INT interrupt to CPU. • If EDMA_INT is enabled in IER, program execution will jump to ISR.
Sine Wave Generation • Difference Equation: • Input x[n] is an impulse. • Output y[n] are cosine/sine values. • IC’s are all zero. • Computation: 2 multiplications and 3 or 2 additions • Memory Usage: 2 coefficients, 2 previous values of y[n] and 1 previous value of x[n] • Drawback is the build-up of error due to feedback sin(0n).u[n] ↔ y[n] = 2.cos(0).y[n-1] - y[n-2] - sin(0).x[n-1]
