    Hey thanks a lot for the help. I will look for the P2PASM.

    I'm pretty sure the ROM could be compiled by any of the assemblers available for P2 -- PNut, fastspin, or p2asm. With PNut you might need the most recent version (32j).

    Um, help me understand why you perform clkset() inside the demo object. Why? I don't recall this in spin 1. You set the clock settings in the top spin file and never had to set it again.

    Thanks,
    Terry

    Yes, for P1 you do not need a clkset. For P2 we do, because (at the moment) there's no implicit clkset() in the startup routine. clkset() is a lot heavier weight in P2 (it requires waiting for a pretty significant period of time (10 milliseconds or so). So I didn't want to make this hidden from the user. It's still only needs to be done once, in the top spin file.

    We're also still figuring out what the best clock settings are for P2, so again, it's probably nice not to hide that detail from users.

    All of the tools are still under active development. The P2 is not (at this early stage) a beginner friendly platform. As the tools mature that will change!
  • To ersmith,

    Thanks, I got it going. Now going to play. If I run into any other snags I will let you know.
    Appreciate it.

    Or in TAQOZ try this for effect:
    56 8 ADO I PIN 4 HZ 20 ms LOOP
    
    I haven't tried it but not only should the leds blink but with the 20ms delay there should be a rippling effect as well.
    The 20ms is actually closer to 80ms due to timing difference between RCFAST and 80MHz FPGA (same with the 20 ms)

    BTW - I haven't got a P2-ES board but I could hook up some leds on my P2D2 and video it.

    Breakdown of that code:
    56 - push 56 onto the stack 
    8 - push 8 onto the stack 
    ADO - take two values from the stack ( start=56 count=8 ) and set loop for effectively 8 times starting with I = 56
    I - leave current index value on stack
    PIN - use value from stack to select a pin
    4
    ms - delay for milliseconds specified
    LOOP - increment index until start+count is reached else continue to loop back to code following ADO  
    ( implicit EXIT or return )
    
    Hi Peter,

    I had to adapt the code, since TAQOZ was freezing. Since pins 62 and 63 are problematic in that respect, I had to change the code to:
    56 6 ADO I PIN 4 HZ 20 ms LOOP
    
    Anyway, it is a nice effect. Is there any TAQOZ way to exercise the cogs?

    Kind regards, Samuel Lourenço
  • Hi,

    I've loaded up an SD card with the .BIX file provided in the start of this thread, but I can't get the program to boot. I can see the contents of the SD card under TAQOZ, using the "DIR" command. I'm using the original dipswitch configuration (BOD=1, FLASH=0, P59UP=0, P59DN=0).

    Kind regards, Samuel Lourenço

    This is the TAQOZ1V1 SD BOOT image you should use for the P2-ES board.

    The Introduction to TAQOZ has links for these at the start of the document as well as the P2 LINKs sticky thread.


    BTW - if you want to load up another cog with TAQOZ use NEWCOG and then you can get it to run like this (ROM version):
    (This is my terminal copy&paste, as is including typos etc, and I use ^X to reexecute the previous command on some lines)
    TAQOZ# 1 NEWCOG  ok
    TAQOZ#   ok
    TAQOZ# long counter  ok
    TAQOZ# : COUNT_TASK BEGIN counter ++ AGAIN ;  ok
    TAQOZ# ' COUNT_TASK 1 RUN ???   ok
    TAQOZ# ' COUNT_TASK 1 TASK W!  ok
    TAQOZ# counter @ . -38590398 ok
    TAQOZ# -38516446 ok
    TAQOZ# -38467762 ok
    TAQOZ# -38415683 ok
    TAQOZ# -38277814 ok
    TAQOZ# 0 counter !  ok
    TAQOZ# counter @ . 179222 ok
    TAQOZ# 239858 ok
    TAQOZ# 315675 ok
    
    So after loading cog 1 with a copy of TAQOZ it sits in an IDLE loop looking for a "job" and when the vector is non-zero it will load this and start executing from there. Each cog has an entry in the task table with the job vector being the first 16-bits. Once a job is started and unless it exits back to IDLE it won't execute other jobs. However you can always override the cog with NEWCOG at anytime.

    Thanks Peter,

    I've copied the file into the SD card, but still doesn't load. The TAQOZ version is the same. Am I missing a step?

    Update: Confirmed that loading only from the SD card fails. P59DN switch was set to 1. No TAQOZ v1.1 in sight. The card may have an issue with the formatting, or something.

    Kind regards, Samuel Lourenço
  • Cluso99 or anyone.

    I downloaded the "_BOOT_P2.BIX" for the sd card. How do I access it. Would someone give me some example code please.

    Thanks

    Ok, finally solved. Had to reformat the SD card using the "SD Card Formatter" application for Windows, then copied "_BOOT_P2.BIX" again and then, under Linux, deleted the "System Volume Information" via terminal. This way I made sude I only had that file to boot.

    Just copy the file to an empty SD Card, and reset with the switches off (you can leave BOD on). Make sure your card is well formatted. If you need to reformat, don't use the OS format application: use an application specific for SD cards and compliant with the specs.

    Kind regards, Samuel Lourenço

    I think it was deleted long filenames caused a boot problem. Or might have been any long filenames first caused it. I never tried again so have forgotten the detail.

  • I reformatted the sd card and copied it over. What switches are you talking about?? what is BOD? I am assuming that I can call this as a subroutine so I can print to the Serial Terminal??
    Thanks

    Are you using the P2-ES board? Or the FPGA? On the ES board, you'll have four DIP switches: The first one says BOD (Brown Out Detection). The first you can leave on, the others should be in the off position.

    If you load the new TAQOZ from the SD card, it should appear right at the start, after a reset, without having to do the "> ESC" combination.

    Kind regards, Samuel Lourenço
  • Samuel,
    I am using the ES board. Switches are BOD on and the others are off.
  • So if I can get this to boot. What am I going to see??
  • Samuel,
    I am using the ES board. Switches are BOD on and the others are off.

    Give this a try. Fire up PST, (Parallax Serial Terminal). Power up the ES Board with the SD with TAQOZ loaded. Connect to to COM port in PST. (Make sure Enable PST if it is blinking). Wait one minute, then hit the reset button on the ES board. That should bring up the TAQOS prompt.

    Sometimes I have to toggle DTR in PST,(on then off), then a reset to get the SD to load. May just be my board.

    Strangely I need to do this when using TeraTerm, with the v2.0 image loaded. It used to work right of the bat.

  • Pink Noise generation at 2MSPS, using Stenzel's method, 1/f response from about 30Hz upto nearly 1MHz.

    The xoro32 generator provides the random bits, the output goes to a DAC pin in 16 bit dither mode.

    Stenzel's really cunning pink noise method can be studied here: stenzel.waldorfmusic.de/post/pink/ and here: https://github.com/Stenzel/newshadeofpink

  • Mark_T how did you imbed the above image into the text area??
    Also I have not been able to access _BOOT_P2.BIX via the sd card. Can someone walk me through it. I am assuming that I will be able to access the PST terminal using the P2asm code. Would someone give me a simple example of doing that. Something like just printing a variable. If you look at my simple tutorial using pasm from spin I would like to start simple.
    Thanks.

    I am using Spin2Gui from @ersmith and that uses a terminal provided by the loader, I guess.

    But it is a all in one solution, you can write PASM2, SPIN2, BASIC and some C code with the same IDE. All gets compiled down to PASM2 (and you can look at the result) and can be started using the build in terminal. No need for PST.

    As far as I understand _BOOT_P2.BIX is just any loadable binary named like that and saved to SD. It should then start. Try the newer rom version of TAQOZ @"Peter Jakacki" has in his drop-box. If you save the file as _BOOT_P2.BIX in the root of the SD it should start without changing any jumpers on the EVVAL board.

    Then create your own binary using PNUT/spin2gui/spinedit and do the same...

    Enjoy!
