Not all data sent out SPI using DMA

DanKSI — Fri, 06 May 2016 13:54:19 GMT

Hi.

I am using an Emcraft Vybrid SOM and am trying to transmit SPI data using DMA. This is occurring on the M4 and I have the SPI configured using MQX, but use the following source for the actual transmit. What I see on the SPI signals is that some of the data is sent, but not all of it, but it is the same data everytime. I am sending a 48 byte buffer of incrementing values (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.). What I am seeing makes me think that the DMA is sending data to the SPI transmit register as fast as it can, and is not being throttled by the SPI TFFF DMA request. I am viewing the transmit data on a logic analyzer. The SPI TCR is of size 13, and the TXFR FIFO registers show the data that was actually transmitted. I am not using the receive of the SPI.

TRANSMIT FUNCTION

---------------------------------

//Setup the structure (data pointer and data size)

rw.BUFFER_LENGTH = writeData->dataSize;

rw.WRITE_BUFFER = (char_ptr)writeData->data;

rw.READ_BUFFER = NULL;

DMA0_TCD20_CSR = 0x08; //set all bits to zero

DMA0_TCD20_CSR |= 1;

0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x07, 0x0C, 0x12, 0x18, 0x1E, 0x24, 0x29, 0x2F

Thanks for any help,

I now have this functioning as I would expect. The major changes I made were to change the DMAMux channel to be a modulus of the DMA channel (not sure if this is needed) and switching the data send counts between the minor and major loops.
