Hello Walter Which TI PRU examples are you using I've seen so many examples I've lost track. I've seen the archive that contains the labs1 to labs 6.

I had used some example code from TI where they use the value 0xFFFFFFFF to clear the IEP's counter. That didn't really make sense to me except of course if your very next instruction was to start the timer which would cause it to overflow immediately and start counting in the main processing sequence at 0. In my case, my next step, also borrowed from their examples, was to reset the overflow event flag. Which, of course was immediately set back high because the counter incremented AFTER this reset instruction and not before. So when I issued the overflow event reset, the counter was still at 0xFFFFFFFF which caused an immediate overflow event. Ugh. Live and learn.

Did you use the IEP clock or the PRU's cycle counter? I have IEP working with the iep_clk (although I'm having terrible RPMSG problems right now). Also, I can't seem to correctly check the overflow bit in IEP_TMR_GLB_STS. I would bit 0 would be 1 if there has been an overflow but even at startup, when the counter only has maybe 1000 counts in it, the bit is 1 when I read it. Maybe I'm not reading it correctly?

I didn't know about the IEP timer. TRM section 4.4.3.1 says I can hook up the IEP clock source to either iep_clk or ocp_clk. Which one of those clocks drives the PRU cycle counter? Maybe a better question is: Can the PRU read the IEP clock as deterministically as it reads its own cycle counter (always 1 cycle)? Or does it access the IEP clock over some bus that introduces non-deterministic delays due to contention issues (like accessing the 512MB RAM)? I'm concerned because I'm using the cycle counter for time-stamping sensor and actuator measurements. If I switch to the IEP clock, I'd like to know I'll have the same timing guarantees.

If so, this counter doesn't even wrap around (it automatically stops when it hits 0xFFFFFFFF) much less generate an interrupt. > I know how to write PRU code to make the PRU trigger an interrupt in the host, > but that's not quite what I want, since my PRU will be busy doing other > things. > I would like the cycle counter to trigger an interrupt automatically, without > the PRU having to check if it has overflowed. Try using the IEP timer. It will wrap automatically, and you can even setup a configurable period by using compare register zero and setting the CMP0_RST_CNT_EN bit. You can also route an IEP timer event (pr1_iep_tim_cap_cmp_pend) to the ARM core to generate an interrupt. -- Charles Steinkuehler cha...@steinkuehler.net -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
