These are notes on how to do gpio faster than the /sys/class/gpio.

DSP

Here are some notes on how to access the gpio pins from the DSP. So far it doesn't read the push button.

Here is the starting point for this. It appears to be a working example that reads the pushbutton (gpio 4) on the Beagle xM from the DSP.

Everything is in a git repository. Here are notes to how to set it up.

beagle$ cd exercises/DSPgpio
beagle$ ls -F
Makefile  readPushbuttonViaDSP*  readPushbuttonViaDSP.c
beagle$ make
/opt/toolchains/c6run_binary/bin/c6runapp-cc   readPushbuttonViaDSP.c -o readPushbuttonViaDSP
"readPushbuttonViaDSP.c", line 35: warning #225-D: function declared implicitly
"readPushbuttonViaDSP.c", line 46: warning #225-D: function declared implicitly
"readPushbuttonViaDSP.c", line 47: warning #225-D: function declared implicitly
"readPushbuttonViaDSP.c", line 50: warning #225-D: function declared implicitly
"readPushbuttonViaDSP.c", line 52: warning #225-D: function declared implicitly 

 undefined        first referenced

 ---------        ----------------             
 _HWI_enableWugen ./readPushbuttonViaDSP.temp.o

error #10234-D: unresolved symbols remain
error #10010: errors encountered during linking;
   "readPushbuttonViaDSP.dsp_image.out" not built
make: *** [readPushbuttonViaDSP] Error 1

It appears HWI_enableWugen isn't defined. Let's comment it out and see what happens.

beagle$ make
/opt/toolchains/c6run_binary/bin/c6runapp-cc   readPushbuttonViaDSP.c -o readPushbuttonViaDSP
"readPushbuttonViaDSP.c", line 35: warning #225-D: function declared implicitly
"readPushbuttonViaDSP.c", line 46: warning #225-D: function declared implicitly
"readPushbuttonViaDSP.c", line 50: warning #225-D: function declared implicitly
"readPushbuttonViaDSP.c", line 52: warning #225-D: function declared implicitly 

readPushbuttonViaDSP successfully created

Success, but if you run it, it doesn't respond to the push button.

  • Here's a python lead.
