I have OMAP-L138 Experimenter Kit and I want to communicate with one of peripheral devices which is set on SPI 1 chip select 1 (there is also flash memory on SPI1 chip select 0).
I'm confused which registers should I use to select chip 1 ?
According to OMAP-L138 Technical Reference Manual, I should
set 4-pin mode
spi->SPIPC0 = SOMI | SIMO | CLK | SCS0; //4-pin mode with chip select
set 1 bit of SPIPC0.SCS0FUN to show that SPI_CS1 - is a SPI functional pin
SETBIT(spi->SPIPC0, 0x00000002);
set 17 bit of SPIDAT1.CSNR (It means that SPI_CS1 pin is driven high.)
spi->SPIDAT1 = 0;
SETBIT(spi->SPIDAT1, 0x20000); //set 17th bit (corresponds to SPI_CS1)
set 1 bit of SPIDEF.CSDEF (It means that SPI_CS1 pin is driven high.)
spi->SPIDEF = 0;
SETBIT(spi->SPIDEF, 0x00000002); //set 1st bit (corresponds to SPI_CS1) in CSDEF field
finally, before reading data from SPI1_CS1 device, I should set SPIDAT1.CSHOLD to held active chip select signal
SETBIT(spi->SPIDAT1,0x10000000); //set 28th bit which represents CSHOLD
Is that correct or I miss something?
May be I also need do something with PINMUX5 (Pin Multiplexing Control 5 Register)?
Thank you!
It seems that I have figured it out.
Setting up 0th bit in the register PINMUX5 - selects function SPI1_SCS[1]
Setting up 4th bit in the register PINMUX5 - selects function SPI1_SCS[0]
EVMOMAPL138_pinmuxConfig(5, 0x00FFFFF0, 0x00111101); //enable chip select 1
EVMOMAPL138_pinmuxConfig(5, 0x00FFFFF0, 0x00111110); //enable chip select 0

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
I know that there is a lot in internet (http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=159557.0 for example) about OV7670 and I read a lot about it, but seems something is missing.
First of all I took a look into the way how can we read pixel by pixel from the camera to build the rectangular 600 X 480 image, and this was quite easy to understand considering HREF, VSYNCH and PCLOCK described on documentation here: http://www.voti.nl/docs/OV7670.pdf. I understand XCLOCK as an input I need to give to OV7670 as a kind of cycle controller and RESET would be something to reset it.
So at this point I thought that the functionality of such camera would be covered by wiring the following pins:
D0..D7 - for data (pixel) connected to arduino digital pins 0 to 7 as INPUT on arduino board
XCLK - for camera clock connected to arduino digital pin 8 as OUTPUT from arduino board
PCLK - for pixel clock connected to arduino digital pin 9 as INPUT on arduino board
HREF - to define when a line starts / ends connected to arduino digital pin 10 as INPUT on arduino board
VSYCH - to define when a frame starts / ends connected to arduino digital pin 11 as INPUT on arduino board
GRD - groud connected to arduino GRD
3V3 - 3,3 INPUT connected to arduino 3,3v
RESET - connected to arduino RESET
PWDN - connected to arduino GRD
The implementation for such approach from my point of view would be something like:
Code:
for each loop function do
write high to XCLK
if VSYNCH is HIGH
return;
if HREF is LOW
return;
if lastPCLOCK was HIGH and currentPCLOCK is LOW
readPixelFromDataPins();
end for
My readPixelFromDataPins() basically read just the first byte (as I'm just testing if I can even read something from the camera), and it is written as follows:
Code:
byte readPixelFromDataPins() {
byte result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
result = result << 1 | digitalRead(data_p[i]);
}
return result;
}
In order to check if something is being read from the camera I just print it to the Serial 9600, the byte read from data pins as a number. But currently I'm receiving only zero values. The code I'm using to retrieve an image is stored here: https://gist.github.com/franciscospaeth/8503747.
Did somebody that makes OV7670 work with Arduino already figure out what am I doing wrong? I suppose I'm using the XCLOCK wrongly right? What shall I do to get it working?
I searched a lot and I didn't found any SSCCE (http://sscce.org/) for this camera using arduino, if somebody have it please let me know.
This question is present on arduino forum (http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=211741.0) too.
your idea is not bad but ...
the xclock need to be a clock (in your program is just a transition from 0 to 1 and is freezing there)
you need also to use I2C with SIOC and SIOD for configuring the camera (or you can use the default settings, but I am not sure if is the correct output format for you, 30F/s,VGA, YUV format ....)
your code execution is slower using the serial output in the same loop with reading data
I will recommend you to toggle the xclock pin and to move the pixel print in a if(). Also you will be able to read Data only in a very precise time, if you want to read only one byte, than after a transition from 0 to 1 of HREF you need to wait for a new transition from 0 to 1 of PCLK (you will be able to see only one 0-1 transition of HREF after 784x2 transitions of PCLK, (640 active pixels + 144 dead time for each line) x 2 (for YUV or RGB are 2 bytes received for each pixel) )
Hello I am Mr_Arduino from the arduino forums. Your issue is that you are reading pixels too slow please do not use digital read to do such a thing. Also if you insist on using a separate function just to read a byte make sure the function is being inlined. You can do this by declaring your function as static inline. Also as mentioned above how are you generating the clock. You can generate the XCLK using PWM on the arduino.
I have created a working example here:

Edit: a 3rd party has copied part but not all of the code from the above link into the answer here. However, the link must remain as the code posted below requires additional files from that source to actually work.

Are all pins set to Alternate Function Mode 0 when the board powers-up?
If question 1 is true, then what function is set on header P1, pin 12? BCM2865 ARM Peripherals.pdf Table 6-31 indicates pin 12 in alt-0 mode would have a PW-M0 function. While, the Raspberry Pi Revision 2 schematics show GPIO18 coming out of IC2 is labeled GPIO_Gen1 (sheet 2 of 5) and it is directly wired to header P1 pin 12 and that pad is also labeled GPIO_Gen1 (also sheet 2 of 5). So I am confused as to which is correct.
The other possibility is that all pins default to GPIO mode when the board powers-up and to attain the special functions like, UART, I2C and SPI then each respective pin must be set to its respective alternate function mode.
I am working on a FPGA project in VHDL.
I need to copy a 16 bit shift register into a FIFO each time it fills up (eg after 16 new data bits have been fed into the shift register, I want to take the newly formed 16 bit word and send it to a fifo)
My question is, do I need to set up the data at the input of the fifo one clock before asserting the clock line on the fifo? This is actually a generic VHDL question, and not specific to fifos.
Basically, is it possible to set the data and toggle the clock in the same operation, or do I need some basic state machine to set up the data on one clock edge and toggle the fifo clock on the next?
for instance:
fifo_d_in( 7 downto 0 ) <= shift_register;
fifo_clk <= '1';
or
if( state = one ) then
fifo_d_in( 7 downto 0 ) <= shift_register;
state <= two;
elsif( state = two ) then
fifo_clk <= '1';
end if;
My gut tells me that I have to setup the data first, to satisfy the setup & hold requirements of the input registers.
Thanks!
The data must be present for the setup time before the clock edge, so asserting the clock at the same time as any possible data changes may result in unstable behaviour.
One way to configure your shift register is to have an output which asserts after the last bit of data has been clocked in. For an 8 bit shift register, after the 8th clock the signal would be asserted. Any easy way to accomplish this is with a 3 bit counter, when all bits are 1 the output is 1. This signal is then connected to the CLKEN of your fifo so that on the 9th clock edge, the data at the output of your shift register is clocked into the the fifo. It would also be possible to clock in the next serial bit of data to your shift register on the 9th clock.
shift reg FIFO
------------- ---------
-|DIN DOUT |--------| DIN |
| FULL |--------| CLKEN |
- |> | --|> |
| ------------- | ---------
| |
CLK -----------------------
In the above diagram, FULL would be asserted the instant after the last bit of data was clocked in to fill the shift register, and deasserted on the next cycle. FULL can be combinatorial logic.
I've been pulling my hair out lately trying to get an ATmega162 on my STK200 to talk to my computer over RS232. I checked and made sure that the STK200 contains a MAX202CPE chip.
I've configured the chip to use its internal 8MHz clock and divided it by 8.
I've tried to copy the code out of the data sheet (and made changes where the compiler complained), but to no avail.
My code is below, could someone please help me fix the problems that I'm having?
I've confirmed that my serial port works on other devices and is not faulty.

I have commented on Greg's answer, but would like to add one more thing. For this sort of problem the gold standard method of debugging it is to first understand asynchronous serial communications, then to get an oscilloscope and see what's happening on the line. If characters are being exchanged and it's just a baudrate problem this will be particularly helpful as you can calculate the baudrate you are seeing and then adjust the divisor accordingly.
Here is a super quick primer, no doubt you can find something much more comprehensive on Wikipedia or elsewhere.
Let's assume 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (the most common setup). Then if the character being transmitted is say 0x3f (= ascii '?'), then the line looks like this;
...--+ +---+---+---+---+---+---+ +---+--...
| S | 1 1 1 1 1 1 | 0 0 | E
+---+ +---+---+
The high (1) level is +5V at the chip and -12V after conversion to RS232 levels.
The low (0) level is 0V at the chip and +12V after conversion to RS232 levels.
S is the start bit.
Then we have 8 data bits, least significant first, so here 00111111 = 0x3f = '?'.
E is the stop (e for end) bit.
Time is advancing from left to right, just like an oscilloscope display, If the baudrate is 4800, then each bit spans (1/4800) seconds = 0.21 milliseconds (approx).
The receiver works by sampling the line and looking for a falling edge (a quiescent line is simply logical '1' all the time). The receiver knows the baudrate, and the number of start bits (1), so it measures one half bit time from the falling edge to find the middle of the start bit, then samples the line 8 bit times in succession after that to collect the data bits. The receiver then waits one more bit time (until half way through the stop bit) and starts looking for another start bit (i.e. falling edge). Meanwhile the character read is made available to the rest of the system. The transmitter guarantees that the next falling edge won't begin until the stop bit is complete. The transmitter can be programmed to always wait longer (with additional stop bits) but that is a legacy issue, extra stop bits were only required with very slow hardware and/or software setups.
I don't have reference material handy, but the baud rate register UBRR usually contains a divisor value, rather than the desired baud rate itself. A quick google search indicates that the correct divisor value for 4800 baud may be 239. So try:
divisor = 239;
UBRR0H = (unsigned char)(divisor >> 8);
UBRR0L = (unsigned char)divisor;
If this doesn't work, check with the reference docs for your particular chip for the correct divisor calculation formula.
For debugging UART communication, there are two useful things to do:
1) Do a loop-back at the connector and make sure you can read back what you write. If you send a character and get it back exactly, you know that the hardware is wired correctly, and that at least the basic set of UART register configuration is correct.
2) Repeatedly send the character 0x55 ("U") - the binary bit pattern 01010101 will allow you to quickly see the bit width on the oscilloscope, which will let you verify that the speed setting is correct.
After reading the data sheet a little more thoroughly, I was incorrectly setting the baudrate. The ATmega162 data sheet had a chart of clock frequencies plotted against baud rates and the corresponding error.
For a 4800 baud rate and a 1 MHz clock frequency, the error was 0.2%, which was acceptable for me. The trick was passing 12 to the USART_Init() function, instead of 4800.
Hope this helps someone else out!
