Is my DSK working? DSK Power On Self Test

Power up DSK and watch LEDs Power On Self Test (POST) program stored in FLASH memory automatically executes POST takes 10-15 seconds to complete All DSK subsystems are automatically tested During POST, a 1kHz sinusoid is output from the AIC23 codec for 1 second

Listen with headphones or watch on oscilloscope

If POST is successful, all four LEDs blink 3 times and then remain on

Change the memory model to data=far

Project -> Build Options -> [Compiler tab] -> [Advanced category]

Page 18 of 63

Things to Try

Open Sin8_LED project and fix the search path and the memory model (see previous pages). Then build, load, and run it.

Press DIP switch 0. You should see LED 0 light up and a 1kHz sinusoid should appear on the left channel of the codec. This is a good test to see if the DSK is working.

Make an error in the source code Sin8_LED.c and build the project to see what happens. Change the amplitude of the sinusoid (gain variable), rebuild, reload, and see what happens. Modify the code to generate a 500Hz sinusoid. Open, build, and load other projects in myprojects

Page 25 of 63

Tip: Problems finding files during linking

Problem is caused by a bad path for the include libraries in the linker options (Project -> Build Options -> Linker tab) A fix for this is to remove rts6700.lib, DSK6713bsl.lib, and csl6713.lib from the linker options and add these files manually (Project -> Add files to Project)

Interfacing with the AIC23 codec: C6x Interrupt Basics

Interrupt sources must be mapped to interrupt events

16 interrupt sources (timers, serial ports, ) 12 interrupt events (INT4 to INT15)

Interrupt events have associated interrupt vectors. An interrupt vector is a special pointer to the start of the interrupt service routine (ISR). Interrupt vectors must be set up in your code (usually in the file vectors.asm). You are also responsible for writing the ISR.

Page 30 of 63

Setting up an interface with the AIC23 Codec (step 1 of 3)

We can write the ISR first:

Remarks: MCBSP_read() requests samples from the codecs ADC MCBSP_write() sends samples to the codecs DAC This ISR simply reads in samples and then sends them back out.

Page 31 of 63

Codec data format and how to separating the left/right channels

// we can use the union construct in C to have // the same memory referenced by two different variables union {Uint32 combo; short channel[2];} temp; temp.channel[0] (short) temp.channel[1] (short)

temp.combo (Uint32)

// the McBSP functions require that we // read/write data to/from the Uint32 variable temp.combo = MCBSP_read(DSK6713_AIC23_DATAHANDLE); MCBSP_write(DSK6713_AIC23_DATAHANDLE, temp.combo); // but if we want to access the left/right channels individually // we can do this through the short variables Leftchannel = temp.channel[1]; Rightchannel = temp.channel[0];

Page 32 of 63

Setting up an interface with the AIC23 Codec (step 2 of 3)

Now we can set up the interrupt vector to point to the ISR. In this example, our ISR is called serialPortRcvISR. We will link the codec interrupt event to INT15. Here is the appropriate code in the vectors.asm file:

Setting up an interface with the AIC23 Codec (step 3 of 3)

Initialization steps:
1. 2.

3.

4.

5. 6.

Initialize the DSK Open the codec with the default configuration. Configure multichannel buffered serial port (McBSP) Configure codec parameters, e.g. set the sampling rate Configure and enable interrupts Do normal processing (we just enter a loop here)

See source code in project Lab02

Page 34 of 63

Setting the Sampling Rate

Here we open the codec with the default configuration: The structure config is declared in dsk6713_aic23.h Rather than editing the header file, we can change the sampling frequency after the initial configuration: Frequency definitions are in dsk6713_aic.h

Page 35 of 63

Other Codec Configuration

Input volume (individually controllable for left and right channels) Headphone output volume (individually controllable for left and right channels) Digital word size (16, 20, 24, or 32 bit) Other settings, e.g. byte order, etc. For more details, see:

dsk6713_aic23.h Codec datasheet (TLV320AIC23B) C:\CCStudio_v3.1\docs\hlp\c6713dsk.hlp

Page 36 of 63

Some Things to Try

Make a new project that:

Polls DIP switch 0. If pressed, light up all four LEDs. Sets the sampling rate of the AIC23 codec to 44.1kHz. Uses an ISR to sample the left and right channels. Multiplies the left and right channels by a variable gain. Outputs the modified samples to the left and right channels.

Bonus: Swap the channels, i.e. Left_in -> Right_out, Right_in -> Left_out, when DIP switch 0 is pressed. Bonus: Try changing the input/output volumes (hint: look at default configuration in dsk6713_aic23.h)

Debugging and Other Useful Features of the CCS IDE

Breakpoints Probe points Watch variables Plotting arrays of data Animation General Extension Language (GEL)

Page 39 of 63

Breakpoints and Probe Points

toggle break point clear all break points toggle probe point clear all probe points

break point probe point

Breakpoints: stop code execution at this point to allow state examination and step-by-step execution. Probe points: force window updates and/or read/write samples from/to a file at a specific point in your code.
Page 40 of 63

Breakpoints
source step into source step over step out ASM step into ASM step over run to cursor set progam counter to cursor

Run to Cursor is a handy shortcut instead of setting a breakpoint

Page 41 of 63

Probe Points

Differ from breakpoints: Halt the DSP momentarily, perform an action, and then automatically resume execution.

Note that this may cause problems with real-time operations.

Facilitate repeatable testing via automatic file input and/or output (on PC). For more details, see CCS Getting Started Guide (SPRU509F.PDF) or CCS help.

Watch Variables

Page 43 of 63

Watch Variables

In the Watch Locals tab, the debugger automatically displays the Name, Value, and Type of the variables that are local to the currently executing function. In the Watch tab, the debugger displays the Name, Value, and Type of the local and global variables and expressions that you specify. Can add/delete tabs.

Animation

Runs the program until a breakpoint is encountered.

At the breakpoint, execution stops and all windows not connected to any Probe Points are updated. Program execution then automatically resumes Useful for updating graphical displays Note: Animation may cause problems with real-time operation

Can pause execution at each breakpoint: Option->Customize: Debug Properties tab Animate Speed (0-9s) (zero = no pause)

General Extension Language

Useful GEL files can be pretty simple From sin2sliders.gel:

Syntax details can be found in CCS help: Help->Contents->Making a Code Composer Studio Project -> Building and Running your Project -> Automating Tasks with General Extension Language (GEL)

Lots of different structures available

Direct form I, direct form II, transposed forms, cascade, parallel, lattice, All have same input/output relationship Choice of structure affects computational complexity and how quantization errors are manifested through the filter

Quantization Considerations

Key choice: floating point vs. fixed point Advantages of floating point math:

Less quantization error Dont have to worry about scaling factors Less likelihood of overflow/underflow Much easier to code Requires floating point DSP (higher cost, higher power) Executes slower than fixed point

Disadvantages of floating point math:

C code allows you to cast variables into any datatype

Page 58 of 63

Write Code to Realize FIR Filter

Direct form I implies direct realization of the convolution equation

Some considerations:

Allocate buffer of length M for input samples. Move input buffer pointer as new data comes in or move data?
Page 59 of 63

FIR filter example Code

interrupt void serialPortRcvISR() { union {Uint32 combo; short channel[2];} temp; int i = 0; float result = 0.0; temp.combo = MCBSP_read(DSK6713_AIC23_DATAHANDLE); // Update array samples (move data - this is the slow way) for( i = N-1; i >= 1; i-- ) samples[i] = samples[i-1]; samples[0] = (float)temp.channel[0]; // store right channel // Filtering for( i = 0 ; i < N ; i++ ) result += fir_coeff[i]*samples[i]; temp.channel[0] = (short)result; // output to right channel MCBSP_write(DSK6713_AIC23_DATAHANDLE, temp.combo); }

Note that all math here is floating point. Filter coefficients are also assumed to be floating point.
Page 60 of 63

Some Things to Try

Try creating an FIR filter with the following specs:

Bandpass 8th order Direct Form I Least-squares design 44100Hz sampling rate Fstop1 = 3000Hz Fpass1 = 4000Hz Fpass2 = 8000Hz Fstop2 = 12000Hz Equal weighting in all bands All floating point math (single or double precision)

Use an oscilloscope and a function generator to compare the magnitude response of your filter to the theoretical prediction.
