How to use the scalar product command scp_mex() in Matlab (Radar SPT core)

andreas_schibil — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 10:41:50 GMT

I’m trying to get familiar with the SPT core and like to use the scalar product command.

The goal is to perform 8 multiply operations and compute the sum (don’t care about the Im() parts, set to 0).

In Matlab R2018b, I installed the “NXP_radar_Toolbox_for_S32R” toolkit, and tried the following:

a = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7];

c = [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1];

M_Op = complex (a, 0)

M_Coeff = complex(c, 0)

no_of_taps = 8;

shft_val = 0;

M_Out = scp_mex(M_Coeff, M_Op, no_of_taps, shft_val)

Which gives me the result:

M_Out = 0.0000 + 0.0000i

But I would expect 0*1 + 1*1 + 2*1 + 3*1 + 4*1 + 5*1 + 6*1 + 7*1 = 28

What am I missing?

Hi Andreas,

The instruction has a scale after the multiplication is done of 13 bits, and another after the adding is done of 4 bits.

So if you run

a = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7]*2^17;

c = [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1];

M_Op = complex(a, 0)

M_Coeff = complex(c, 0)

no_of_taps = 8;

shft_val = 0;

M_Out = scp_mex(M_Coeff, M_Op, no_of_taps, shft_val)

you will get

M_Out = 28.0000 + 0.0000i

Best regards,

Iulian

Perfect. Many thanks for your fast answer. I wonder where I can find more information about this shifting and the exact bit width used for the MUL and ADD operations?
