# CLA Module

The Control Law Accelerator (CLA) API provides a set of functions to configure the CLA. The CLA is an independent accelerator with its own buses, ALU and register set. It does share memory, both program and data, with the main processor; it comes out of a power reset with no memory assets and therefore the C28x must configure how the CLA runs, which memory spaces it uses, and when code must run.

The primary use of the CLA is to implement small, fast control loops that run periodically, responding to specific trigger sources like the PWM or an ADC conversion in a deterministic (fixed and low latency) fashion.

  Functions

  void `CLA_mapTaskVector`(uint32_t base, CLA_MVECTNumber claIntVect, uint16_t claTaskAddr)

    Map CLA Task Interrupt Vector

    Each CLA Task (1 to 8) has its own MVECTx register. When a task is triggered, the CLA loads the MVECTx register of the task in question to the MPC (CLA program counter) and begins execution from that point. The CLA has a 16-bit address bus, and can therefore, access the lower 64 KW space. The MVECTx registers take an address anywhere in this space.

  void `CLA_enableSoftwareInterrupt`(uint32_t base, uint16_t taskFlags)

    Enable the Software Interrupt for a given CLA Task

    This function enables the Software Interrupt for a single, or set of, CLA task(s). It does this by writing a 1 to the task’s bit in the CLA1SOFTINTEN register. By setting a task’s SOFTINT bit, you disable its ability to generate an end-of-task interrupt For example, if we enable Task 2’s SOFTINT bit, we disable its ability to generate an end-of-task interrupt, but now any running CLA task has the ability to force task 2’s interrupt (through the CLA1INTFRC register) to the main CPU. This interrupt will be handled by the End-of-Task 2 interrupt handler even though the interrupt was not caused by Task 2 running to completion. This allows programmers to generate interrupts while a control task is running.

    Parameters

      - `base`: is the base address of the CLA controller.

      - `taskFlags`: is the bitwise OR of the tasks for which software interrupts are to be enabled, CLA_TASKFLAG_N where N is the task number from 1 to 8, or CLA_TASKFLAG_ALL to enable software interrupts of all tasks

    Note

      1. The CLA1SOFTINTEN and CLA1INTFRC are only writable from the CLA.

      2. Enabling a given task’s software interrupt enable bit disables that task’s ability to generate an End-of-Task interrupt to the main CPU, however, should another task force its interrupt (through the CLA1INTFRC register), it will be handled by that task’s End-of-Task Interrupt Handler.

    Return

      None.

  void `CLA_disableSoftwareInterrupt`(uint32_t base, uint16_t taskFlags)

    Disable the Software Interrupt for a given CLA Task

    This function disables the Software Interrupt for a single, or set of, CLA task(s). It does this by writing a 0 to the task’s bit in the CLA1SOFTINTEN register.

    Parameters

      - `base`: is the base address of the CLA controller.

      - `taskFlags`: is the bitwise OR of the tasks for which software interrupts are to be disabled, CLA_TASKFLAG_N where N is the task number from 1 to 8, or CLA_TASKFLAG_ALL to disable software interrupts of all tasks

    Note

      1. The CLA1SOFTINTEN and CLA1INTFRC are only writable from the CLA.

      2. Disabling a given task’s software interrupt ability allows that task to generate an End-of-Task interrupt to the main CPU.

    Return

      None.

  void `CLA_forceSoftwareInterrupt`(uint32_t base, uint16_t taskFlags)

    Force a particular Task’s Software Interrupt

    This function forces the Software Interrupt for a single, or set of, CLA task(s). It does this by writing a 1 to the task’s bit in the CLA1INTFRC register. For example, if we enable Task 2’s SOFTINT bit, we disable its ability to generate an end-of-task interrupt, but now any running CLA task has the ability to force task 2’s interrupt (through the CLA1INTFRC register) to the main CPU. This interrupt will be handled by the End-of-Task 2 interrupt handler even though the interrupt was not caused by Task 2 running to completion. This allows programmers to generate interrupts while a control task is running.

    Parameters

      - `base`: is the base address of the CLA controller.

      - `taskFlags`: is the bitwise OR of the task’s whose software interrupts are to be forced, CLA_TASKFLAG_N where N is the task number from 1 to 8, or CLA_TASKFLAG_ALL to force software interrupts for all tasks

    Note

      1. The CLA1SOFTINTEN and CLA1INTFRC are only writable from the CLA.

      2. Enabling a given task’s software interrupt enable bit disables that task’s ability to generate an End-of-Task interrupt to the main CPU, however, should another task force its interrupt (through the CLA1INTFRC register), it will be handled by that task’s End-of-Task Interrupt Handler.

      3. This function will set the INTFRC bit for a task, but does not check that its SOFTINT bit is set. It falls to the user to ensure that software interrupt for a given task is enabled before it can be forced.

    Return

      None.

  void `CLA_setTriggerSource`(CLA_TaskNumber taskNumber, CLA_Trigger trigger)

    Configures CLA task triggers.

    This function configures the trigger source of a CLA task. The

    taskNumber parameter indicates which task is being configured, and the trigger parameter is the interrupt source from a specific peripheral interrupt (or software) that will trigger the task.
    Parameters

      - `taskNumber`: is the number of the task CLA_TASK_N where N is a number from 1 to 8.

      - `trigger`: is the trigger source to be assigned to the selected task.

    Return

      None.

The next few paragraphs describe configuration options that are accessible via the main processor (the C28x).

The CLA code is broken up into a main background task and a set of 7 tasks, each of which requires a trigger source either from a hardware peripheral or software. Each task begins at an address that is given by its vector register. The vector for the background task can be configured using the CLA_mapBackgroundTaskVector(), and the task’s vector is set using CLA_mapTaskVector(). The trigger source for all the tasks can be set with CLA_setTriggerSource(). If using a software trigger, the user must first enable the feature with CLA_enableIACK(), and then trigger the task with the assembly instruction,

> align

>   center

__asm(” IACK #<Task>”); Task refers to the task to trigger; it is one less than the actual task. For example, if attempting to trigger task 1 you would issue,

> align

>   center

__asm(” IACK #0”);

A task will only start to execute if it is globally enabled. This is done through CLA_enableTasks(). Once enabled, a task will respond to a peripheral trigger (if configured to do so), a software force (with the IACK instruction), or through CLA_forceTasks().

In this type of CLA, a background task is always running. It is enabled using CLA_enableBackgroundTask() and subsequently kicked off by CLA_startBackgroundTask(), or through a peripheral trigger (it takes the same trigger as task 8 on older CLAs). The user may enable the background task peripheral trigger feature using CLA_enableHardwareTrigger().

The tasks (1 to 7) have a fixed priority, with 1 being the highest and 7 the lowest. They will interrupt the background task, when triggered, in priority order. The user may query the status of all tasks with CLA_getAllTaskRunStatus() or a particular task with CLA_getTaskRunStatus() to determine if its pending, running or idle.

Each task (1 through 7) can issue an interrupt to the main CPU after it completes execution. This is configured through the PIE module, and registering the handler (ISR) for each end-of-task interrupt with CLA_registerEndOfTaskInterrupt().

The CLA can undergo a soft reset with CLA_performSoftReset() or emulate a power cycle or hard reset with CLA_performHardReset().

The CLA can access and configure a few configuration registers (the C28x can read but not alter these registers). A task can force another’s end-of-task interrupt to the main CPU by enabling that task’s software interrupt using CLA_enableSoftwareInterrupt() and subsequently forcing it using CLA_forceSoftwareInterrupt(). Its important to keep in mind that enabling a software interrupt for a given task disables its ability to generate an interrupt to the main CPU once it completes execution.

The code for this module is contained in driverlib/cla.c, with driverlib/cla.h containing the API declarations for use by applications.
