Hi,
I am encountering something that is a bit baffling and am hoping someone could clarify.
I am running a bit of code in an interruption and it is taking longer than I am expecting to execute when I check on my oscilloscope I also checked using the clock feature in debugger mode to see how many clock cycles it is taking to execute an instruction, which I have included in the comments. This is the code in question:
// Interrupt routines uses in this example:
#pragma CODE_SECTION(epwm_timer_isr, "ramfuncs");
interrupt void epwm_timer_isr(void)
{
//EPwmTimerIntCount++;
GpioDataRegs.GPBTOGGLE.bit.GPIO32 = 1; //1 cycle - 49ns
GpioDataRegs.GPBTOGGLE.bit.GPIO32 = 1; //1 cycle - 49ns
GpioDataRegs.GPBTOGGLE.bit.GPIO32 = 1; //1 cycle - 49ns
GpioDataRegs.GPBTOGGLE.bit.GPIO32 = 1; //1 cycle - 49ns
aux = GpioDataRegs.GPCDAT.all; //3 cycles - 86ns
GpioDataRegs.GPBTOGGLE.bit.GPIO32 = 1; //1 cycle - 49ns
GpioDataRegs.GPBTOGGLE.bit.GPIO32 = 1; //1 cycle - 49ns
// Clear INT flag for this timer
EPwm1Regs.ETCLR.bit.INT = 1;
// Acknowledge this interrupt to receive more interrupts from group 3
PieCtrlRegs.PIEACK.all = PIEACK_GROUP3;
}
I am running this code off of RAM after transferring from FLASH. I also checked running only from RAM and the behavior is the same. I have also checked putting that bit of code directly into the main loop and disabling the interrupts and the behavior is the same. I would expect to see the time it takes to toggle on and off that pin should be about 7ns. Can anyone help me figure out what may be going on?
I am including more code so you can see how I have setup the main portion:
#include "DSP28x_Project.h" // Device Headerfile and Examples Include File
// Prototype statements for functions found within this file.
interrupt void epwm_timer_isr(void);
#define FLASH 1
#define CPU_CLOCK_HZ 150000000UL
#define wait_usec(us) DSP28x_usDelay((us)*(CPU_CLOCK_HZ/1000000UL/5)-2)
// Global variables used in this example
Uint32 EPwmTimerIntCount;
int aux;
float x = 1;
float w = 0.35;
float z = 2.5;
int main(void) {
// Step 1. Initialize System Control:
// PLL, WatchDog, enable Peripheral Clocks
// This example function is found in the DSP2833x_SysCtrl.c file.
InitSysCtrl();
// Step 2. Initalize GPIO:
// This example function is found in the PTEL2_Gpio.c file and
// illustrates how to set the GPIO to it's default state.
InitGpio();
// Step 3. Clear all interrupts and initialize PIE vector table:
// Disable CPU interrupts
DINT;
// Initialize the PIE control registers to their default state.
// The default state is all PIE interrupts disabled and flags
// are cleared.
// This function is found in the DSP2833x_PieCtrl.c file.
InitPieCtrl();
// Disable CPU interrupts and clear all CPU interrupt flags:
IER = 0x0000;
IFR = 0x0000;
// Initialize the PIE vector table with pointers to the shell Interrupt
// Service Routines (ISR).
// This will populate the entire table, even if the interrupt
// is not used in this example. This is useful for debug purposes.
// The shell ISR routines are found in DSP2833x_DefaultIsr.c.
// This function is found in DSP2833x_PieVect.c.
InitPieVectTable();
#ifdef FLASH
// Section ramfuncs contains user defined code that runs from RAM
memcpy(&ramfuncs_runstart, &ramfuncs_loadstart, (Uint32)&ramfuncs_loadsize);
//--- Initialize the Flash and OTP
InitFlash(); // Initialize the Flash
#endif //(FLASH)
// ISR functions found within this file.
EALLOW; // This is needed to write to EALLOW protected registers
PieVectTable.EPWM1_INT = &epwm_timer_isr;
EDIS; // This is needed to disable write to EALLOW protected registers
// Initialize the PWM
InitEPwm();
// Initalize counters:
EPwmTimerIntCount = 0;
// Step 4. User specific code, enable interrupts:
// Enable CPU INT3 which is connected to EPWM1-6 INT:
IER |= M_INT3;
// Enable EPWM INTn in the PIE: Group 3 interrupt 1-6
PieCtrlRegs.PIEIER3.bit.INTx1 = 1;
// Enable global Interrupts and higher priority real-time debug events:
EINT; // Enable Global interrupt INTM
ERTM; // Enable Global realtime interrupt DBGM
// Step 5. Loop and execute functions forever.
for(;;)
{
}
}
If you need any further information please advise.
Thanks,
