Reason for disabling IRQ in EDMA UART Example

darshan_shah1 — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 04:51:48 GMT

Hi,

While going through the example code uart_edma_rb_trasnfer on FRDM-K64, in function EXAMPLE_GetRingBufferLengthEDMA, before getting received bytes in ring buffer, we are disabling IRQ.

What is the reason for this? Do we need to disable global IRQ or just UART?

/* Get how many bytes in ring buffer. */
static uint32_t EXAMPLE_GetRingBufferLengthEDMA(void)
{
uint32_t regPrimask = 0U;
uint32_t receivedBytes = 0U;
/* Disable IRQ, protect ring buffer. */
regPrimask = DisableGlobalIRQ();
receivedBytes =
EXAMPLE_RING_BUFFER_SIZE - EDMA_GetRemainingMajorLoopCount(EXAMPLE_UART_DMA_BASEADDR, UART_RX_DMA_CHANNEL);
/* If the received bytes is less than index value, it means the ring buffer has reached it boundary. */
if (receivedBytes < ringBufferIndex)
{
receivedBytes += EXAMPLE_RING_BUFFER_SIZE;
}
receivedBytes -= ringBufferIndex;
/* Enable IRQ if previously enabled. */
EnableGlobalIRQ(regPrimask);
return receivedBytes;
}

Hi,

Disable the interrupt to avoid being disturbed by other interrupt and protect the data we are going to process from unexpected accessing. You would better not remove this code. It's a protection for the data.

Hi,

We have USB and UART both in our application. While integrating UART, we are seeing fault at usb_device_khci.c (Line No 639). I have doubt on disabling and enabling the IRQ. As in our application, we are continuously reading UART (UART is connected to modem). So we are calling EXAMPLE_GetRingBufferLengthEDMA API at every 50ms to check if we got any data from UART or not.

Let me know if we have any other way to check pending data bytes in ring-buffer.

Hi,

If you project do not have many interrupts, you can try to remove it.

Hi,

We have multiple IRQ (SPI,I2C,USB,UART,SDIO). Is it good to remove it? What will be implecations?

Hi,

If you have many peripheral working with usb, you would better use rtos to manage them. If you do not use rtos,here is my suggestions. Do not remove the code. Set the interrupt priority for every peripheral according to your peripheral importance. Make sure when the usb is enumerating , no interrupt will disturb it. line 639 is belong to token interrupt. Set a flag for usb token interrupt. When the flag isn't cleared, other operation won't be permitted.

Have a great day,

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I have FreeRTOS. So what should be proper way? Should I disable disabling code and set priority accordingly?

Hi,

You should set the task priority properly. Remove the disabling irq code.

Hi,

Thanks for confirmation.

After disabling code, I am still getting fault at usb_device_cdc_acm.c line no. 796.

What should be the cause for this?

Re: Reason for disabling IRQ in EDMA UART Example

nxf56274 — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 08:03:08 GMT

Hi,

If you do not read the ring buffer, does it still have fault?

Hi,

Now I am not seeing fault yet after sometime (10 minutes) UART TX is not getting idle and due to this my application waits for infinite for this.

/* Wait for sending finished */
while (txOnGoing)
{
vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(10));
}

/* UART user callback */
void UART_UserCallback(UART_Type *base, uart_edma_handle_t *handle, status_t status, void *userData)
{
tx_status = status;
if (kStatus_UART_TxIdle == status)
{
txOnGoing = false;
}
}

Hi,

You question is deviated from the original question. Please create a new case.
