Loop buffer Exception inside DSPF_sp_fftSPxSP

Jonathan Journo

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hello,

I am using a DM8148 custom board, and running on the C674x using EZSDK_5_03_01_15 components.

components:

- bios 6.32.05.54

- cgt6x_7_3_1

- c674x-dsplib_1_03_00_00

In my DSP application, I have a high priority and short GPIO HWI.

and three SWIs, with different priorities, running each the DSPF_sp_fftSPxSP kernel.

the application runs for a while and then the code abort() with a loop buffer exception that point inside the DSPF_sp_fftSPxSP function.

From my understanding, the FFT kernel use SPLOOP so It means it's interruptible.

I have increase drastically my program stack just in case nesting those interrupts could cause a stack overflow.

I do not understand what can cause a loop buffer ecxeption.

the compiler should backup/restore the loop buffer content from/into the stack, isn't it?

attached my project .cfg file and .map file.

5153.map and config files.rar

    Please confirm the version number of DSPLIB.  Because it is much more likely that you have dsplib_c674x_3_1_0_0 from here.

    Thanks and regards,

    -George

    Because of technical difficulties with the forum yesterday, Mr. Journo did not respond online, but by private message.  He did confirm that he is using dsplib version 1.03.00.00.  And to directly answer a side question ...  Yes, the dsplib routines are presumed to be re-entrant.

    I did determine that the current revision of dsplib (v3.1.0.0) has the same implementation of this function.  And that implementation is in hand-coded assembly.  So, upgrading would not help.  The dsplib team is aware of this issue, and they are taking a closer look.  I think we have everything we need, for now.

    Thanks and regards,

    -George

    Hello George,

    I'd like to know how to follow the issue.

    Is there a way for me to know what is the status of the research/analyze of the specific fft kernel?

    using the natural C fft function is quite lower and it harms the overall performance of our application.

    We're really waiting for a fastest solution than the natural C function. 

    Thanks for your comprehension,

    Jonathan.

    Hi Jonathan,

    I am in charge of DSPLIB development. I verified that the exception does not occur in our unit test environment. It maybe related to interrupts. The exception happened in the middle of a SPLOOP. Interrupt return address points to the start of the same SPLOOP, which means interrupt should have happened during the loop. I wonder if you can turn off the interrupt and see if you still get the exception?

    regards,

    Hi Yimin,

    For your question, I am working with a GPIO interrupt for sampling task. The GPIO event interrupt is handled using the HWI dispatcher so I hope the bios does its registers/stack save/recovery correctly.  I am not using isr directly.

    I can't disable that interrupt because it is responsible to synchronize and trigger the other 3 SWI threads where the FFT is running in each of them.

    Instead of the GPIO interrupt, I have tried to connect a dm timer interrupt instead and the exception still occurs.

    Hi Jonathan,

    We are still working on the issue. In the unit test, we added timer interrupt to try to catch the exception. So far, it has not happened. I will keep you updated of any progress.

    regards,
