TMS570LC4357: Explaination of example_adcDisplay code of TMS570LC4357

Part Number: TMS570LC4357

The following is the code provided in the examples of TMS570LC4357.

/** @example example_adcDisplay.c
*   This is an example which describes the steps to create an example application which 
*   configures ADC to start conversion ona GIO trigger and display it over an uart .
*   The digital value can be viewed on a pc terminal with the uart configures @ 9600
*   no parity ,2 stop bits.
*
*   
*   @b Step @b 1:
*
*   Create a new project.
*
*   Navigate: -> File -> New -> Project
*
*   @image html example_createProject.JPG "Figure: Create a new Project"
*
*   @b Step @b 2:
*
*   Configure driver code generation: 
*   - Enable GIO driver
*   - Enable SCI driver
*   - Enable ADC driver
*   - Disable others
*
*   Navigate: -> TMS570LCxx /RM5x -> Enable Drivers
*
*   @image html adcDisplay_enabledriver.JPG "Figure: SCI Enable Driver"
*
*
*   @b Step @b 3:
*
*   Navigate: -> TMS570LCxx /RM5x -> ADC
*
*   Configure ADC General : 
*
*   @image html adcDisplay1.JPG "Figure: ADC General Configuration"
*
*
*   @b Step @b 4:
*
*   Configure ADC Group1 : 
*
*   - Configure ADC Group 1 with "Hardware trigger" source as "GIOB0" at "Rising edge"
*   - Enable ADC1 Group 1 channel selection Pin 0 and Pin 1
*
*   @image html adcDisplay2.JPG "Figure: ADC Group Configuration"
*
*   @b Step @b 5:
*
*   Configure SCI: 
*   - Configure SCI baudrate as 9600
*
*   Navigate: -> TMS570LCxx /RM5x -> ADC
*
*   @image html sci_uart1.JPG "Figure: SCI Configuration"
*
*   @b Step @b 6:
*
*   Copy the source code below into your sys_main.c or replace sys_main.c with this file.
*
*   The example file can also be found in the examples folder: ../HALCoGen/examples
*
*   @note HALCoGen generates an empty main function in sys_main.c, 
*         please make sure that you link in the right main function or copy the source into the user code sections of this file.

Can someone explain to me what is happening in the

void sciDisplayData(sciBASE_t *sci, uint8 *text,uint32 length)

part of the code?

Also can someone please tell why there are two sciSendByte functions

sciSendByte(sciREG1,txt);
and
sciSendByte(sciREG1,txt1);

nested in the same function.

  • void sciDisplayData(sciBASE_t *sci, uint8 *text,uint32 length)
    {
        uint8 txt = 0;
        uint8 txt1 = 0;
    
    #if ((__little_endian__ == 1) || (__LITTLE_ENDIAN__ == 1))
    text = text + (length -1);
    #endif
    
        while(length--)
        {
    #if ((__little_endian__ == 1) || (__LITTLE_ENDIAN__ == 1))
            txt = *text--;
    #else
            txt = *text++;
    #endif
    
            txt1 = txt;
    
            txt  &= ~(0xF0);
            txt1 &= ~(0x0F);
            txt1  =txt1>>4;
    
            if(txt<=0x9)
            {
                txt +=0x30;
            }
            else if(txt > 0x9 && txt < 0xF)
            {
                txt +=0x37;
            }
            else
            {
                txt = 0x30;
            }
    
            if(txt1 <= 0x9)
            {
                txt1 +=0x30;
            }
            else if((txt1 > 0x9) && (txt1 <= 0xF))
            {
                txt1 +=0x37;
            }
            else
            {
                txt1 = 0x30;
            }
    
            while ((sciREG1->FLR & 0x4) == 4); /* wait until busy */
            sciSendByte(sciREG1,txt1);      /* send out text   */
            while ((sciREG1->FLR & 0x4) == 4); /* wait until busy */
            sciSendByte(sciREG1,txt);      /* send out text   */
        };
    }

    This is the part of the code that I don't understand

  • The purpose of that routine is to convert a number into an ASCII string that is put out the SCI one character at a time. The function takes each byte of the number and converts it into a two ASCII characters. The first call to sciSendByte() prints the character that represents the most significant nibble (4-bits) of the data byte. The second call prints the least significant nibble. It takes two ASCII characters, each character is a byte, to represent one byte of data.
  • Thanks Bob, for clearing the confusion.
