writing to a PIP object

Joshua Hinton

I am using a C6726 and DSPBios with CCS5. My problem is I cannot get CCS5 to compile when I try to use a pointer to the PIP_getWriterAddr() function as the basis of where to copy data to. The examples as shown in the literature will not compile either.

              if (PIP_getWriterNumFrames(&inputpipe) > 0)     //how many frames are available
			{
		        PIP_alloc(&inputpipe);  /* allocate an empty frame */
		        addr = PIP_getWriterAddr(&inputpipe);
		        size = PIP_getWriterSize(&inputpipe);
		        if(size > 0x10){PIP_setWriterSize(&inputpipe, 0x10);} //set frame to 1 word size 16bits
			addr = McASP0ptr[RBUF0];
		        //enter data in the frame
		        //sample[]   run untill newSamplecount = 0

		        PIP_put(&inputpipe); //release frame to pipe
		        newSamplecount--;    //data is down pipe, decrement counter
		}

In particular the line "addr = McASP0ptr[RBUF0]" causes the error-- #76 operand of "*" must be a pointer

Started with "*addr = McASP0ptr[RBUF0]" thinking it should allow a write to the address referenced by addr but it give another error. I also tried to do a direct cut and paste of the example code

Void copy(HST_Obj *input, HST_Obj *output)
{
    PIP_Obj     *in, *out;
    Uns         *src, *dst;
    Uns         size;
    in = HST_getpipe(input);
    out = HST_getpipe(output);
    if (PIP_getReaderNumFrames(in) == 0 || 
        PIP_getWriterNumFrames(out) == 0) {
        error;
    }
    /* get input data and allocate output frame */
    PIP_get(in);
    PIP_alloc(out);
    /* copy input data to output frame */
    src = PIP_getReaderAddr(in);
    dst = PIP_getWriterAddr(out);
    size = PIP_getReaderSize(in);
    PIP_setWriterSize(out, size);
    for (; size > 0; size--) {
        *dst++ = *src++;
    }
    /* output copied data and free input frame */
    PIP_put(out);
    PIP_free(in);
}

In this case CCS5 says that a pointer like "*scr" and "*dst" cannot be initialized with Uns.

Hi Joshua,

In particular the line "addr = McASP0ptr[RBUF0]" causes the error-- #76 operand of "*" must be a pointer

Can you share the entire function (with addr, size & McASP0Ptr[] declarations) and the compiler version you are using ?

Best,

Ashish

After allowing CCS to do its update it will now compile. I did have to add a c++ mem.h lib and use memcpy to get it to work.

volatile unsigned int *McASP_RBUF0 = (unsigned int *)0x44000280;


while(PIP_getReaderNumFrames(&inputpipe) > 0)
	{
		if(SEM_pendBinary(&sampleDataReady, 0) == true) //used to protect against dual "get" calls from HWI and this Task
		{
			PIP_get(&inputpipe);
			addr = PIP_getReaderAddr(&inputpipe);
			size = PIP_getReaderSize(&inputpipe);
			if(size < 16){LOG_printf(&trace, "ERROR: frame size < 16bits \n");}

			memcpy(tempBuff, addr, 2);
			PIP_free(&inputpipe);

void

readNextSample() //make a HWI function call

{

Uns size;




//check read buffer




if(SEM_pendBinary(&sampleDataReady, 0) == true) //use counter to avoid missing samples

{

if (PIP_getWriterNumFrames(&inputpipe) > 0)     //how many frames are available

{

PIP_alloc(&inputpipe);                    // allocate an empty frame to write in




Ptr addr = PIP_getWriterAddr(&inputpipe);  //get address of empty frame

size = PIP_getWriterSize(&inputpipe);    

//find size of empty frame




if(size > 0x10){PIP_setWriterSize(&inputpipe, 0x10);} //set frame to 2 word size 32bits




unsigned int tempBuff[1];

tempBuff[0] = *McASP_RBUF0;

memcpy(addr, tempBuff, 2);

PIP_put(&inputpipe); //release frame to pipe

}

else //exit function with ERROR

{

LOG_printf(&trace, "ERROR: new sample function: no empty frames  \n");




SEM_postBinary(&sampleDataReady);




return;

}

}

//end if




SEM_postBinary(&sampleDataReady);  //release semaphore at end of function

}

//end of read next sample
