Is a delay needed between setting and getting state of connected OUTPUT and INPUT?

Hi,

This is my first project with a C2000, I have been using various other Microcontrollers.

I tried to set an OUTPUT, then read a connected INPUT right after. How fast is this possible?

Right now I have a huge delay loop (1'000'000 iterations) to make it work.

This is a stripped down example of my code:

EALLOW;

// input setup
GpioCtrlRegs.GPCPUD.bit.GPIO77 = 1;    // pullups mounted on board
GpioDataRegs.GPCCLEAR.bit.GPIO77 = 1;
GpioCtrlRegs.GPCMUX1.bit.GPIO77 = 0;
GpioCtrlRegs.GPCDIR.bit.GPIO77 = 0;

// output setup
GpioCtrlRegs.GPCPUD.bit.GPIO73 = 1;
GpioDataRegs.GPCCLEAR.bit.GPIO73 = 1;
GpioCtrlRegs.GPCMUX1.bit.GPIO73 = 0;
GpioCtrlRegs.GPCDIR.bit.GPIO73 = 1;

EDIS;

// set output
GpioDataRegs.GPCSET.bit.GPIO73 = 1

// ...is a delay needed here?

if (GpioDataRegs.GPCDAT.bit.GPIO77)
    // output is set
else
    // output is cleared

Hi cee,

Ideally next cycle itself you should be able to read but I would recommend 2-3 cycle delay.

Hello,

A million iterations IS huge. You'll need a delay but nothing that extreme. Does it make any difference if you use NOPs instead of a delay loop? Something like "__asm(" RPT #5 || NOP")" (you can change the 5 to some other number of repeats as needed--that's just what worked on my setup)?

What part number are you using? Are you using a custom board or one of TI's kits?

Thanks,
Whitney

Also please note that this delay will depend on the input qualification which is by default enabled. To reduce the delay, disable the input qualification.

Hi Vivek

Thanks for your answer.
As far as I understand, the input qualification (GPxQSEL1/2) does not apply to GPIO 64-79. Currently I am using GPIO 76|77.
According to SPRUFN1C (Delfino System Control and Interrupts Reference Guide) GPCDAT (read) is always sync'd with SYSCLK.

Are there other registers that need to be set correctly?

Best Regards,
cee

Cee,

You are right. On these pins there is no input qualification but still there is synchronizer which will take some additional cycle. So you have to add couple of NOPs before reading the status.

Cee, hope this issue is resolved.

Hi Vivek,

Unfortunately I still have the huge delay as stated in my first post. It's an ugly hack but for now I moved on since this project was actually only to test another hardware and won't be used in production.

If anyone has some insight as to why my code behaves as it does, I am glad to give it another shot.

Thank you.

Cee,

Did you try the suggestion from Whitney of using NOP instead of loop ? If not then I would suggest to try that and let us know how many NOPs you have to use to make it working.

Vivek Singh

Hi Cee, Did you get chance to try NOPs, as suggested by Whitney?
