TMS320F28379D: How to confirm that PWM is triggering SOC interrupt?

Hello Thomas,

Thomas Cox said:

The ADCB pin 5 version stalls during the read loop with the results index never climbing above 0.

I couldn't import your code because there were some errors, but I verified in the driverlib example adc_ex2_soc_epwm and the code executes fine when I chance ADCA_BASE to ADCB_BASE, ADCIN0 to ADCIN5, and change the interrupts to use ADCB instead of ADCA:

//!
//! This example sets up ePWM1 to periodically trigger a conversion on ADCA.

//! \b External \b Connections \n
//!  - A0 should be connected to a signal to convert
//!
//! \b Watch \b Variables \n
//! - \b adcAResults - A sequence of analog-to-digital conversion samples from
//!   pin A0. The time between samples is determined based on the period
//!   of the ePWM timer.

I believe that you're missing some steps to configure the interrupts for ADC B correctly (the example you cite looks like it's using a software trigger, which may be why there's some code missing from your project). Please take a look at the driverlib example to verify you follow the correct steps there. The interrupt enable for the ADC has multiple steps (as seen within the Interrupt_enable function itself).
