Where is PE floating point support?

paulderocco — Sat, 02 May 2015 06:57:17 GMT

Using KDE 2.0.0, but same problem was present in 1.1.1, and Codewarrior before that.

I don't see any support for floating point in PE. That is, the Init_SCB component only has registers up to SCB_CPACR at 0xE000ED88, and doesn't have any of the floating point control registers starting at 0xE000EF34. I grepped all the .h files for the string "FPCCR", which is the standard name for the register at that address, and came up empty. The CP10 and CP11 fields in SCB_CPACR are zero, and the tool tip says "Reason why settings is disabled: Initialization of the bit is not supported by this component or the bit is not related to the selected peripheral."

So how is one supposed to enable floating point, and twiddle the FP configuration registers? Is there no way, other than to hard code hex addresses and data in the program?

I don't think there is a setting in the components itself.

But the startup code (startup.c) enables the FPU this way in KDS v2.0.0:

void __attribute__ ((weak)) __init_registers(void)

{

#if defined(SCB_CPACR)

/* Initialize FPU */

SCB_CPACR |= SCB_CPACR_CP10(3U) | SCB_CPACR_CP11(3U);

#endif

}

Okay, so the startup code enables the FPU, even though PE doesn't show this in the relevant fields of the SCB_CPACR register. That's nice. But there is still no mention of those higher-addressed SCB registers that configure the FPU. They exist. They're real registers in the core. They ought to be listed in the header files that contain the port addresses and bit masks. They also ought to be included in whatever XML files contain the list of parameters in the PE SCB component. How hard can that be for Freescale to fix? Or is there someplace else I should report this deficiency? Is there a bug tracker?

Hello Paul,

In the KDS 3.0.0 the floating point is configured on the Target Processor tab - Float ABI option of the project Properties (see the Properties, C/C++ Build/Settings, Target Processor – Float AB; see the following screenshot)

The FPU (SCB_CPARC – CP10 and CP11 bits) are set according to this FPU configuration of the Float ABI option of the project (this options is used for configuration of the compiler and linker):

This options specify the value of the -mfloat-abi compiler parameter. There are possible following values:

-mfloat-abi=name

Specifies which floating-point ABI to use. Permissible values are: ‘soft’, ‘softfp’ and ‘hard’.

Specifying ‘soft’ causes GCC to generate output containing library calls for floating-point operations. ‘softfp’ allows the generation of code using hardware floating-point instructions, but still uses the soft-float calling conventions. ‘hard’ allows generation of floating-point instructions and uses FPU-specific calling conventions.

The default depends on the specific target configuration. Note that the hard-float and soft-float ABIs are not link-compatible; you must compile your entire program with the same ABI, and link with a compatible set of libraries.

Based on this selection, there are configured CP10 and CP11 bits in the startup file:

core_cm4.h header CMSIS file contains folowing defintions:

#if defined (__VFP_FP__) && !defined(__SOFTFP__)

#if (__FPU_PRESENT == 1)

#define __FPU_USED 1

#else

#warning "Compiler generates FPU instructions for a device without an FPU (check __FPU_PRESENT)"

#define __FPU_USED 0

#endif

#else

#define __FPU_USED 0

#endif

The SystemInit() function in the system_<derivative name>.c contains following code:

#if ((__FPU_PRESENT == 1) && (__FPU_USED == 1))

SCB->CPACR |= ((3UL << 10*2) | (3UL << 11*2)); /* set CP10, CP11 Full Access */

#endif /* ((__FPU_PRESENT == 1) && (__FPU_USED == 1)) */

Please note, that definitions of CP10 and CP11 bits are available in the Static_Code/IO_Map/core_cm4_PEx.h (for example for MK64FN1M0 derivative). The FPPCR register definition is available in the SDK/platform/CMSIS/Include/core_cm4.h CMSIS header file.

Yes, I got that. That was already selected.

My main complaint is that while the Init_SCB component and the header files list all the registers listed in Table B3-4 in the ARMv7-M Architecture Reference Manual, it leaves out the floating point configuration registers listed in Table B3-5. This includes FPCCR, FPCAR, FPDSCR, MVFR0 and MVFR1. I need to clear the ASPEN and LSPEN bits in FPCCR, so that interrupts don't waste time or space stacking the floating point registers, because I know I'm never going to use floating point in an interrupt handler. Obviously, I've declared my own symbols and used them, but these are real registers that exist, and the fact that they're missing from the PE component and the headers is a bug. If this isn't the place to report that, where should I do that?

Hello Paul,

I have reproduced the problem in a PEx project without SDK. There are missing FPU registers. You can use following definitions from Kinetis SDK as the workaround of this issue.

I have reported this defect to the Processor Expert development team. They will fix this bug in a next release.
