Hello,

I have a problem that i can't resolve, i hope you can help me.

  In LPCXpresso I have created a simple project to use CMSIS DSP  function on LPC1769 board. Here is my code:
q15_t test1[] = {-32768,32767,-32768,32767};
q15_t test2[] = {-1000,1000,-1000,1000};

q15_t tmp_output[4];

arm_mult_q15(test1, test2, tmp_output, 4u);

  However the execution fails with "UndefInstr" in the Faults register.  The faulty instruction is "smulbb" which appears to be missing on Cortex-M3.
I am disappointed since I have just follow the project creation wizard  to generate it and use DSPLIB_CM3 lib as it is provided by LPCXpresso.

  Could you say me if the LPC1769 support the CMSIS DSP features?
  And if somebody have already use DSPLIB_CM3 in LPCXpresso please send  me your feedback and advise.

Thanks.

The new library have solved the issue, thanks a lot.

In my previous tests I think I built correctly the DSP lib and clean everything, maybe the problem is also in the current library source package.

Anyway, now it works. Thanks!

Following the previously posted sequence allowed me to successfully run your test code here. I suspect that you either changed the architecture settings for the wrong build configuration, or you did not do a clean of your application project so that the updated library archive got picked up.

Anyway, I've uploaded a fixed version of CMSISv2p00_DSPLIB_CM3 for you to....

Hello,

  I have already done this test twice, but it generates the exact same instruction code and fails on smulbb.

Do you know if I have to change something in the build settings to not use these undefined instruction?

Thanks

Sorry that you have encountered a problem here. It looks like the CMSISv2p00_DSPLIB_CM3 we are currently shipping (including in LPCXpresso 4.1.0) is building for Cortex-M4 rather than Cortex-M3 :(

The fix is simple, and you can do this for yourself...

Ensure that you have imported both CMSISv2p00_DSPLIB_CM3 and CMSISv2p00_DSPLIB_SRC library projectsinto your workspace from the LPCXpresso examples directory.

Select the CMSISv2p00_DSPLIB_SRC project and change the currently selected build configuration to "CM3"

Go to
Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> MCU C Compiler -> Target

and change Architecture to "Cortex-M3".

Now rebuild the CM3 build configuration of CMSISv2p00_DSPLIB_SRC. This may take several minutes. At the end of the build, the resulting library archive will be automatically copied into the CMSISv2p00_DSPLIB_CM3 project.

If you then clean your test project and rebuild, you should then pick up the fixed DSPLIB and your code should now run.
