LPC11U68 GPIO switching frequency - frequency

I have LPCXpresso OM13058 board with LPC11U68 MCU.
Board schematic: https://www.nxp.com/downloads/en/schematics/LPC11U68_Xpresso_v2_Schematic_RevC_1.pdf
I am using this board standalone and compile my program with IAR IDE. For MCU programming I use Flash magic.
Configuration files I used, including SystemInit:
https://github.com/NordicPlayground/mbed/tree/master/libraries/mbed/targets/cmsis/TARGET_NXP/TARGET_LPC11U6X/system_LPC11U6x.h
https://github.com/NordicPlayground/mbed/tree/master/libraries/mbed/targets/cmsis/TARGET_NXP/TARGET_LPC11U6X/system_LPC11U6x.c
https://github.com/NordicPlayground/mbed/tree/master/libraries/mbed/targets/cmsis/TARGET_NXP/TARGET_LPC11U6X/LPC11U6x.h
My program runs at 48MHz. I am trying to generate 200kHz PWM for a GPIO pin. I init my CT32B0 timer:
LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL |= (1<<9);
LPC_CT32B0->CTCR = 0x0;
LPC_CT32B0->PR = 48-1; //prescale, I get 1MHz
LPC_CT32B0->TCR = 0x02;
Then I have a timer counter based delay function:
void delay(unsigned int ms)
{
LPC_CT32B0->TCR = 0x02;
LPC_CT32B0->TCR = 0x01;
while(LPC_CT32B0->TC < ms);
LPC_CT32B0->TCR = 0x00;
}
Simple GPIO toggling to get 1kHz (works well, oscilloscope shows 1kHz):
LPC_GPIO_PORT->NOT[0] |= (1<<17);
delay(500);
Then I changed a value from 500 to 50, but instead of getting 10kHz, my oscilloscope shows 9.88kHz.
LPC_GPIO_PORT->NOT[0] |= (1<<17);
delay(50);
By changing value to 5, a result get much more inaccurate. I get 87.7kHz instead of 100kHz:
LPC_GPIO_PORT->NOT[0] |= (1<<17);
delay(5);
As you can see, the frequency is not so high, but the error is not acceptable. I have implemented USART that is running 115200 baud rate without any issues, so I think the main clock frequency is actually running at 48MHz (SystemCoreClock also returns value 48000000).
I have tried different ports and pins, but result the same. Also, I have tried to run the same code on another board with 72MHz MCU LPC1343, ant GPIO switching at 200kHz was perfect and without any errors.
Could you please help to find out the problem. Are there any additional configuration needed or the issue is hardware?

Can't get the analogue watchdog to trigger an interrupt on the DFSDM peripheral of a STM32L475

I have an AMC1306 current shunt modulator feeding 1-bit PDM data at 10 MHz into a STM32L475. Filter0 takes the bit stream from Channel0 and applies a sinc3 filter with Fosr=125 and Iosr=4. This provides 24-bit data at 20 kHz and is working fine. The DMA transfers the data into a 1-word circular buffer in main memory to maintain fresh data.
I want to be able to call an interrupt function if the 24-bit value leaves a certain window. This would be caused in an over-voltage situation and needs to disengage the MOSFET driver. It would seem this functionality is offered by the analogue watchdog within the peripheral.
I am using STM32CubeIDE and the graphical interface within the IDE to configure the peripherals. Filter0 global interrupts are enabled. I have added this code:
/* USER CODE BEGIN 2 */
HAL_DFSDM_FilterRegularStart_DMA(&hdfsdm1_filter0, Vbus_DMA, 1);
// Set up the watchdog
DFSDM_Filter_AwdParamTypeDef awdParamFilter0;
awdParamFilter0.DataSource = DFSDM_FILTER_AWD_FILTER_DATA;
awdParamFilter0.Channel = DFSDM_CHANNEL_0;
awdParamFilter0.HighBreakSignal = DFSDM_NO_BREAK_SIGNAL;
awdParamFilter0.HighThreshold = 250;
awdParamFilter0.LowBreakSignal = DFSDM_NO_BREAK_SIGNAL;
awdParamFilter0.LowThreshold = -250;
HAL_DFSDM_FilterAwdStart_IT(&hdfsdm1_filter0, &awdParamFilter0);
/* USER CODE END 2 */
I have also used the HAL callback function
/* USER CODE BEGIN 4 */
void HAL_DFSDM_FilterAwdCallback(DFSDM_Filter_HandleTypeDef *hdfsdm_filter, uint32_t Channel, uint32_t Threshold)
{
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA, LED_Pin, GPIO_PIN_SET);
}
/* USER CODE END 4 */
But the callback function never runs! I have experimented with the thresholds (I even made them zero).
In the debugger I can see the AWDIE=0x1 (So the AWD interrupt is enabled). The AWDF = 0x1 (So the threshold has been crossed and the peripheral should be requesting an interrupt...). The code doesn't even trigger a breakpoint in the stm32l4xx_it.c filter0 interrupt. So it'd seem no DFSDM1_FLT0 interrupts are happening
I'd be enormously appreciative of any help, any example code, any resources to read. Thanks in advance.
I know the DMA conversion complete callbacks work
I have played around with various thresholds and note that the AWDF gets set when the threshold is crossed.

Built-in led won't turn on STM32F303RE Nucleo board

I am trying to turn the led (LD2 in schematic) inside the nucleo board on using only registers with the STM32CubeIDE.
The user manual states the following addresses for the clock, mode and data registers:
Led pin: PA5
Address of the Clock control register: RCC_AHBENR
[base address] + [offset] ===> [Result]
0x4002 1000 + 0x14 ===> 0x40021014
Address of the GPIOA mode register
0x4800 0000 + 0x00 ===> 0x48000000
Address of the GPIOA output data register
0x4800 0000 + 0x14 ===> 0x48000014
I am using the following code to set/clear the registers in the board:
#include <stdint.h>
int main(void)
{
uint32_t *pClkCtrlReg = (uint32_t*)0x40021014;
uint32_t *pPortAModeReg = (uint32_t*)0x48000000;
uint32_t *pPortAOutReg = (uint32_t*)0x48000014;
//1. enable the clock for GPIOA peripheral in the AHBENR
*pClkCtrlReg |= 0x00020000;
//2. configure the mode of the IO pin as output
//a. clear the 24th and 25th bit positions
*pPortAModeReg &= 0xFCFFFFFF;
//b set 24th bit position as 1
*pPortAModeReg |= 0x01000000;
//3. SET 12th bit of the output data register to make I/O pin-12 as HIGH
*pPortAOutReg |= 0x20;
while(1);
}
Using the register viewer from the IDE, I can see that the PA5 is set as output, but physically, my led is not turning on.
I do not know what I am doing wrong. I am suspecting that the pin PA5 is wrong, but i tried PA12 too and it does not work. Can someone please help me out here?
I ran through your code with reference manual in hand. RM0316 STM32F303 Reference manual.
You activate clock to GPIO Port A correctly (also, GPIOA registers would also read all 0x00 is it hadn't been activated).
Then you set GPIO mode as, quoting you:
//2. configure the mode of the IO pin as output
//a. clear the 24th and 25th bit positions
*pPortAModeReg &= 0xFCFFFFFF;
//b set 24th bit position as 1
*pPortAModeReg |= 0x01000000;
You work with bits 24 and 25. Which are these:
So you set the mode for pin A12, not A5. For GPIOA Pin 5 you need to manipulate bits 10 and 11.
//clear pin5 bits
*pPortAModeReg &= ~(0x03 << 10); //take 0b11, shift it to position 10, flip all bits, AND with original state of register
And follow it with setting those bits to "General purpose output mode" 01, which you also do for wrong bits:
//b set 10th bit position as 1
*pPortAModeReg |= (0x01 << 10);
I checked all the registers GPIO has, there shouldn't be anything else you need to set. If things still don't work, please post the contents of all GPIOA registers.
EDIT: also, try using bit set/reset registers. Note that they are read only, so no "|=" for them, only "=". Writing 0 to them doesn't do anything. So you need to write only (0x01<<5) straight to the GPIOA BSRR register.
GPIOA->BSRR = (1U<<5); //or however you want to address that register
A few comments on your code:
Get in the habit of always using the volatile keyword when accessing peripheral registers. Otherwise the compiler may end up optimizing out your code. I usually make a typedef for something like a reg32_t type in order not to forget.
As the OP pointed out, use code of the form (1 << b) to make it obvious which bit(s) you are referencing. Your compiler will optimize this, so the end result in the compiled code will be the same. You could even consider making this into a couple of macros or inline functions.
When you make several changes to a peripheral register, it's a good idea to copy it; make the changes to the copy; then store the copy back to the register. This way, you don't temporarily put the register in an unwanted state.
Here's your code with these changes:
#include <stdint.h>
typedef volatile uint32_t reg32_t;
int main(void)
{
reg32_t *pClkCtrlReg = (reg32_t*)0x40021014;
reg32_t *pPortAModeReg = (reg32_t*)0x48000000;
reg32_t *pPortABsrReg = (reg32_t*)0x48000018;
//1. enable the clock for GPIOA peripheral in the AHBENR
*pClkCtrlReg |= (1<<17);
//2. configure the mode of the IO pin as output
uint32_t modereg = *pPortAModeReg & ~(3<<(2*5));
modereg |= (1<<(2*5));
*pPortAModeReg = modereg;
//3. SET 5th bit of the bit set/reset register to make I/O pin 5 HIGH
*pPortABsrReg = (1<<5);
// If you want to turn the LED back off at a later time, do this:
// *pPortABsrReg = (1<<(5+16));
for (;;) ;
}
Good luck with your blinky!
//3. SET 12th bit of the output data register to make I/O pin-12 as HIGH
*pPortAOutReg |= 0x20;
for PIN 12, the value should be *pPortAOutReg |= 0x1000;
Or you could do as following:*pPortAOutReg |= (1 << 12); With this you don't need to know excactly value.

Unexpected behaviour of an iexternal interrupt function, dspic33f

The project I'm desperatly trying to finish is rather simple in term of microcontroller programming. The dspic33fj128mc802 I use basically has to do 3 things:
receive data via UART and convert it into PWM signals for servomotors
regularly wake up its ADC to check a battery level
change its baudrate working values when fed an external interrupt.
It's the last point that causes issue. In my circuit I have a switch. One position corresponds to a baudrate value, the other one to a second value. I didn't find any documentation on how to trigger an interrupt on any voltage level change, so I use rising edge and falling edge trigger in combination with checking the current state of the pin I chose for my interrupt.
Furthemore, I have two other interrupt functions in my code, one for UART reception, and the second one is a timer interrupt to wake up the ADC periodically. Interrupt priorities are the following: UART -> 1, Timer -> 2, External Interrupt -> 6 (any number above 2 really).
Here is my interrupt code:
void __attribute__((interrupt, auto_psv)) _INT0Interrupt( void )
{
IEC0bits.INT0IE = 0; // disable INT0 interrupt
if(IFS0bits.INT0IF){
if (PORTBbits.RB7 == 1){ //if pin at high logic level
INTCON2bits.INT0EP = 1; //falling edge trigger
LATAbits.LATA0 = 1;
U1BRG = 23;
}
else{ //if pin at low logic level
INTCON2bits.INT0EP = 0; //rising edge trigger
LATAbits.LATA0 = 0;
U1BRG = 1;
}
}
IFS0bits.INT0IF = 0; //clear INT0 flag
IEC0bits.INT0IE = 1; // enable INT0 interrupt
}
The weird behaviour now -> When pulling the pin to low, the baudrate is set at the right value, the UART commmunication works perfectly. When pulled to high, the previous communication doesn't work anymore, proof that the baudrate has changed, but setting the new communication at that new baudrate doesn't work either. The LED status change works fine as well.
It is to be noted that all the different apsects of this project have been tested multiple times, each section works well, only adding this External Interrupt made the whole thing crash. The microcontroller works fine, my baudrate values are good, my circuit has been tested and has no issues.... I jst think I don't know how to properly use an external interrupt.

Can't get my DAC(PT8211) to work correctly using a PIC32MX uc and SPI

I'm just trying to learn to use external ADC and DAC (PT8211) with my PIC32MX534f06h.
So far, my code is just about sampling a signal with my ADC every time a timer-interrupt is triggered, then sending then same signal out to the DAC.
The interrupt and ADC part works fine and have been tested independently, but the voltages that my DAC outputs don't make much sens to me and stay at 2,5V (it's powered at 0 - 5V).
I've tried to feed the DAC various values ranging from 0 to 65534 (16bits DAC so i guess it should be the expected range of the values to feed to it, right?) voltage stays at 2.5V.
I've tried changing the SPI configuration, using different SPIs (3 and 4) and DACs (I have one soldered to my pcb, soldered to SPI3, and one one breadboard, linked to SPI4 in case the one soldered on my board was defective).
I made sure that the chip selection line works as expected.
I couldn't see the data and clock that are transmissed since i don't have a scope yet.
I'm a bit out of ideas now.

I would expect to see the voltage at the ouput of my DAC to mimic those I put at the input of my ADC, instead the DAC output value is always constant, no matter what I input to the ADC
What am i missing?
Also, when turning the SPIs on, should I still manually manage the IO configuration of the SDI SDO SCK pins using TRIS or is it automatically taken care of?
First of all I agree that the documentation I first found for PT8211 is rather poor. I found extended documentation here. Your DAC (PT8211) is actually an I2S device, not SPI. WS is not chip select, it is word select (left/right channel). In I2S, If you are setting WS to 0, that means the left channel. However it looks like in the extended datasheet I found that WS 0 is actually right channel (go figure).
The PIC you've chosen doesn't seem to have any I2S hardware so you might have to bit bash it. There is a lot of info on I2S though ,see I2S bus specification .
There are some slight differences with SPI and I2C. Notice that the first bit is when WS transitions from high to low is the LSB of the right channel. and when WS transitions from low to high, it is not the LSB of the left channel. Note that the output should be between 0.4v to 2.4v (I2S standard), not between 0 and 5V. (Max is 2.5V which is what you've been seeing).
I2S
Basically, I'd try it with the proper protocol first with a bit bashing algorithm with continuous flip flopping between a left/right channel.
First of all, thanks a lot for your comment. It helps a lot to know that i'm not looking at a SPI transmission and that explains why it's not working.
A few reflexions about it
I googled Bit bashing (banging?) and it seems to be CPU intensive, which I would definately try to avoid
I have seen a (successful) projet (in MikroC) where someone transmit data from that exact same PIC, to the same DAC, using SPI, with apparently no problems whatsoever So i guess it SHOULD work, somehow?
Maybe he's transforming the data so that it works? here is the code he's using, I'm not sure what happens with the F15 bit toggle, I was thinking that it was done to manage the LSB shift problem. Here is the piece of (working) MikroC code that i'm talking about
valueDAC = valueDAC + 32768;
valueDAC.F15 =~ valueDAC.F15;
Chip_Select_DAC = 0;
SPI3_Write(valueDAC);
Chip_Select_DAC = 1;
From my understanding, the two biggest differences between SPI and I2S is that SPI sends "bursts" of data where I2S continuously sends data. Another difference is that data sent after the word change state is the LSB of the last word.
So i was thinking that my SPI is triggered by a timer, which is always the same, so even if the data is not sent continuously, it will just make the sound wave a bit more 'aliased' and if it's triggered regularly enough (say at 44Mhz), it should not be SO different from sending I2S data at the same frequency, right?
If that is so, and I undertand correctly, the "only" problem left is to manage the LSB-next-word-MSB place problem, but i thought that the LSB is virtually negligible over 16bit values, so if I could just bitshift my value to the right and then just fix the LSB value to 0 or 1, the error would be small, and the format would be right.
Does it sounds like I have a valid 'Mc-Gyver-I2S-from-my-SPI' or am I forgetting something important?
I have tried to implement it, so far without success, but I need to check my SPI configuration since i'm not sure that it's configured correctly
Here is the code so far
SPI config
#define Chip_Select_DAC_Set() {LATDSET=_LATE_LATE0_MASK;}
#define Chip_Select_DAC_Clr() {LATDCLR=_LATE_LATE0_MASK;}
#define SPI4_CONF 0b1000010100100000
#define SPI4_BAUD 20
DAaC output function
//output audio to external DAC
void DAC_Output(signed int valueDAC) {
INTDisableInterrupts();
valueDAC = valueDAC >> 1; // put the MSB of ValueDAC 1 bit to the right (becase the MSB of what is transmitted will be seen by the DAC as the LSB of the last value, after a word select change)
//Left channel
Chip_Select_DAC_Set(); // Select left channel
SPI4BUF=valueDAC;
while(!SPI4STATbits.SPITBE); // wait for TX buffer to empty
SPI4BUF=valueDAC; // write 16-bits word to TX buffer
while(!SPI4STATbits.SPIRBF); // wait for RX buffer to fill
Empty_SPI3_buffer=SPI4BUF; // read RX buffer (don't know why we need to do this here, but we do)
//SPI3_Write(valueDAC); MikroC option
// Right channel
Chip_Select_DAC_Clr();
SPI4BUF=valueDAC;
while(!SPI4STATbits.SPITBE); // wait for TX buffer to empty
SPI4BUF=valueDAC; // write 16-bits word to TX buffer
while(!SPI4STATbits.SPIRBF); // wait for RX buffer to fill
Empty_SPI3_buffer=SPI4BUF;
INTEnableInterrupts();
}
The data I send here is signed, 16 bits range, I think you said that it's allright with this DAC, right?
Or maybe i could use framed SPI? the clock seems to be continous in this mode, but I would still have the LSB MSB shifting problem to solve.
I'm a bit lost here, so any help would be cool

How to make Timer1 more accurate as a real time clock?

I have PIC18F87J11 with 8 MHz oscillator and I am using timer1 as real time clock. At this moment I have it toggle an LED every 1 minute. I noticed it does work perfect fine the first few times but slowly it starts toggling the LED every 59 seconds. Then every few minutes it keeps going down to 58, 57, etc. I don't know if its impossible to get an accurate clock using internal oscillator or if I need external oscillator. My settings look right for timer1, I just hope I can resolve this issue with the current hardware.

The internal oscillator is a simple RC oscilator (a resistor/capacitor time constant determines its frequency), this kind of circuit may be accurate to only +/-10% over the operating temperature range of the device, and the device will be self-heating due to normal operating power dissipation.
From the data sheet:
An external crystal or other accurate external clock source is required to get accurate timing. Alternatively, if you have some other stable and accurate, but low frequency clock source, such as output from an RTC with a 38768 Hz crystal, you can use that to calibrate the internal RC oscillator and dynamically adjust it with the OSCTUNE register - by using a timer gated by the low frequency source, you can determine the actual frequency of INTOSC and adjust accordingly - it will not be perfect, but it will be better - but no better than the precision of the calibrating source of course.
Some devices have a die temperature sensor that can also be used to compensate, but that is not available on your device.
The RC error can cause serial communications mistiming to the extent that you cannot communicate with a device using asynchronous (UART) serial comms.
There are some stuff in the datasheet you linked, "2.5.3 INTERNAL OSCILLATOR OUTPUT FREQUENCY AND TUNING", on p38
The datasheet says that
The INTOSC frequency may drift as VDD or temperature changes".
Are VDD and temperature stable ?
It notes three ways to deal with this by tuning the OSCTUNE register. The three of them would need an external "oscillator" :
dealing with errors of EUSART...this signal should come from somewhere.
a peripheral clock
cpp module in capture mode. You may use any stable AC signal as input.
Good luck !
Reload the Timer as soon as it expires, the delay between timer overflow and rearm is affecting the total time. So this will solve your problem.

One more recommendation is not to load up the isr, keep it simple.
For all timing, time and frequency applications the first and most important thing to do is to CALIBRATE THE CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR!!! The oscillator itself and its crystal MUST run exactly (to better than 1 part per million = 1ppm) of its nominal frequency. Crystals straight out of a factory (except some very specialized and expensive ones = 100's of $) are not running exactly at their nominal frequency. If the calibration is not done, all time and frequency related functions will be off, because the oscillator frequency is used as reference for all PICs internal functions. The calibration must be done against an accurate frequency counter by adjusting one of the capacitors from crystal pins to ground. Any processor routines for frequency (and time) calibration are not accurate enough.
