Hi Amiel,

Thanks for your strong support for providing a new version GUI while taking E2&E3 command.

Currently I was encoutered another error situation while implement vout calibration offset(0x23) command, please see below error messages. Can you please help share your comments here?

hi again Jack

He is actually on vacation until next week, he is returning on the 25th November.

So unfortunately you will need to wait until then for a response.

Best regards

Cormac

Jack, I got the same results. I notice that there is already a variable for vout_cal_offset which is in RAM, and is saved in dflash. I see two short term options:

1. Just use the memory debugger to read and write to it

2. If you want to duplicate the command function, just use a different command code that the GUI doesn't use. Or you could use the same command code, but just don't set the bit that tells the GUI about it. Then use the SMBus debug tool to send and receive the data. I bet you can figure out how not to set the bit in the command array, but if not, I can help you.

3. Note that the variable is probably not defined correctly. It's a Uint32, and you probably want an int32 so that you can go negative. The PMBus definition calls for a signed number. Perhaps this is why the exception occurs in the GUI.

Hi Ian and Cormac,

I'm pretty good, and hope everything goes well with you.

Hi Ian,

1. and 2. I think your suggestion could be work arround solution for the testing purpose, since the calibration is done in factory, and R&D guyes just make sure the calibration feature works correctly. Writing this post is to remind your guyes if this is a bug in GUI, and fix it if it is.

3. This is a good point, I think VOUT_CAL_OFFSET should be int16 instead of int32 according to pmbus spec. This might be the reason cause GUI crash, since I set the offset as positive value in my code, the sign bit is always 0.

Jack, you could probably even use an int8, because your offset will probably be small. An Int32 is the native size for the ARM7 core, so if you've got room, I'd recommend it always. It gives you the most instructions, and the longest offset size in the structure. So there's a chance that the code will be smaller and faster by just a little bit.
