How to coordinate with Smartpin in NCO mode? IN not working?

I have pin#1 toggling using Smartpin in NCO mode like this:
'Turn on pixel clock
            mov     x,##SmartMode
            wrpin   x,#PClkPin
            mov     x,##$0D  '1.2 MHz with $0D, 9.62 MHz with wypin=$8000_0000
            wxpin   x,#PClkPin
            mov     x,##$1000_0000'8000_0000  'Toggle every n base period
            wypin   x,#PClkPin
            dirh    #PClkPin

Then, I'm trying to make pin#0 follow the output using testp on the smartpin like this:
TestLoop
            nop
            nop
            testp   #PClkPin wc 
    if_nc   drvh    #DePin
    if_c    drvl    #DePin                                                        
            nop
            nop
            jmp     #TestLoop

Doesn't work though, seems in on smartpin is always high...
What am I doing wrong?

    The IN, OUT, and DIR lines of a pin don't mean what they normally mean when the smartpin is in a non-zero mode. See the smartpin documentation for what they do mean in each mode. It would seem from the documentation that IN is raised on every accumulator overflow and drops again when you AKPIN or WRPIN the pin.

    Also, unrelated to your problem, you can replace this:
        if_nc   drvh    #DePin
        if_c    drvl    #DePin
    
    with this:
                drvnc    #DePin
    

    EDIT: ACKPIN -> AKPIN
  • RaymanRayman Posts: 14,646
    Thanks! Akpin (new name, right?) is what I needed to do. That wasn't so clear...
    This now produces a pulse on DePin every time PClkPin goes low:
    TestLoop            
                nop
                nop
                testp   #PClkPin wc 
                akpin   #PClkPin
                drvc    #DePin                                                      
                nop
                nop
                jmp     #TestLoop

    I may need to try bit-banging the pixel clock too...

    This works fine at 1 MHz, but at 10 MHz only catches every 5th pulse:
    TestLoop            
                testp   #PClkPin wc 
                drvc    #DePin   
                akpin   #PClkPin                                                   
                jmp     #TestLoop

    You can use the smart pin input selector to read the output state of neighbor pins.
    From the smart pin docs:

    D/# = %AAAA_BBBB_FFF_PPPPPPPPPPPPP_TT_MMMMM_0

    %AAAA: ‘A’ input selector

    0xxx = true (default)
    1xxx = inverted
    x000 = this pin’s read state (default)
    x001 = relative +1 pin’s read state
    x010 = relative +2 pin’s read state
    x011 = relative +3 pin’s read state
    x100 = this pin’s OUT bit from cogs
    x101 = relative -3 pin’s read state
    x110 = relative -2 pin’s read state
    x111 = relative -1 pin’s read state
    Here's an example of reading a smart pins output state.
    dat	org
    
    	hubset	#1		'rcslow
    
    	wrpin	#%1_00110_0,#56	'nco frequency mode
    	wxpin	##10000,#56	'base period
    	wypin	##$80000000,#56
    	dirh	#56
    
    	wrpin	##%1111 << 28,#57	'input selector = inverted, pin - 1
    
    	rep	#2,#0			'repeat forever
    	testp	#57 wc			'get pin 56 state
    	drvc	#59			'send inverted state to pin 59

    I am looking at the smart pin codes. I noted that you wrote:

    wrpin #%1_00110_0,#56 'nco frequency mode
    wxpin ##10000,#56 'base period
    wypin ##$80000000,#56

    This is in the docs:

    D/# = %AAAA_BBBB_FFF_PPPPPPPPPPPPP_TT_MMMMM_0

    I have seen in the forums what you wrote as well as something like this:

    prng = %0000_0000_000_10100_00000000_01_00001_0
    dither = %0000_0000_000_10100_00000000_01_00010_0 ' remember to wypin
    dither_pwm = %0000_0000_000_10100_00000000_01_00011_0 ' remember to wypin
    dac = %0000_0000_000_10100_00000000_00_00000_0

    What is the easiest way or what of the aaaa,bbbb,fff,pppp etc can I leave out?

    Thanks

    The M field, plus the end zero, (the right most six bits) is the smartpin mode select. Everything else is non-smartpin.

    The T field is often needed to force the pin's DIR high when using a smartpin. This is because the cog's DIR is now controlling the smartpin instead of the pin directly.

    The P field is the most complex, it defines the pin config of the custom pins. All the interface attributes like pull-up resistors and switching on the ADC.

    Fields A, B and F work together in selecting digital input sources. Input selector A works for cogs as well but only smartpins can see B. F applies to both A and B.

    For clarity all the bit fields were shown.
    You can remove all the leading zeros.
    prng = %10100_00000000_01_00001_0
      dither = %10100_00000000_01_00010_0    ' remember to wypin
      dither_pwm = %10100_00000000_01_00011_0    ' remember to wypin
      dac  = %10100_00000000_00_00000_0

    Thank you. I will experiment with the information.
    I will let you know.

    Nice! That clears some of my doubts. One DAC and one ADC per pin! That's brutal (in a very good way).

    That made my day! You helped me a lot.

    Kind regards, Samuel Lourenço

    Nice to hear, thanks.

    True, the prop2 can't be called minimalistic quite like the prop1 was. And the hardware config bits has grown numerous. But the symmetries that the prop1 had are still there, even in the new hardware, leading to plenty of mix and match possibilities.

    Copy'n'paste into a text editor and make it full screen on the 43" monitor. ;)

    To be serious, I have no skills at page layout so anyone is likely better than me at it. The reason I used text was because I was getting frustrated with other drawing software.

    Sometimes it's nice to have a printer that can do 11x17 prints. Here are both sections as jpeg's in case that helps.

    I love 11x17. I sometimes print Chips assembly instructions on 24x30. Thanks for that.
  • I have built a small tool that should help with the configuration of the SP '.
    It is quick and dirty code, but may still be useful.
    If errors are found, please report. I only tested it with a few examples.

    I built it on Linux, but the cpp should also compile on other platforms.

    Answers:
    (1): Those bits are for optional digital output drive. Maybe you want to apply a current bias to the ADC frontend.

    (2): No for pin config to take effect. Yes, a high DIR is needed for smartpin to run (A low on DIR holds the smartpin in reset). If you just wanted the raw ADC bitstream appearing on IN, then leave the smartpin mode off (M=0) and DIR should stay low unless you want the output driven. Mostly you'll be wanting the smartpin to consume the bitstream though.

    Additionally, a DIRL/DIRH pair are usually placed around any smartpin initialising code to neuter potential strange behaviour on initial mode change. Although, I have used a non-typical order to ensure the output stays driven when engaging a smartpin, but still providing the smartpin resetting function.

    (3) and (5): No, SETSE1/2/3 are only if you want to make use of the hardware event system.

    (4): Yep, RDPIN is how to read data for all smartpins. That's where the ADC's smartpin samples appear.

    (6): Nothing extra for ADC function. With the Prop2, all the sigma-delta hardware is built in. The input voltage range is limited to -0.3 to 3.6 Volts though.

    Using DIR to restart a smartpin can be a useful feature for sync'ing up timings.

    I've roughly documented the ADC bitstream modulator (in pin pad), and associated SINC3 sampler (in smartpin). Neither are entirely accurate to the Prop2 so just use them as educational guides - https://forums.parallax.com/discussion/comment/1484327/#Comment_1484327

    I use about 20cm long laboratory cables to connect the pin to VIO / GND. Can it be that the converter is so sensitive and that the line induces something?

    Main problem is the sample period for WXPIN is not suited. What it needs is more like the exponent of the period. Start with a hard coded number like #8.

    Another problem is %TT should be %00, %01 means the output is driven low to GIO voltage. This is reflected in the ADC readings when pin input is selected. Also, I'm guessing you didn't want x3.16 gain setting in the P bits. I'm thinking you were aiming for VIO selected instead. ie:
    /*
    A-FIELD 0000
    B-FIELD 0000
    F-FIELD 000
    P-FIELD 100_001_0000000

    Here's a friendly alternative for single pin config testing. Problem here is it's a hassle when you want to setup multiple differing pins.
    #define AFIELD  0b0000
    #define BFIELD  0b0000
    #define FFIELD  0b000
    #define PFIELD  0b100_001_0000000
    #define TFIELD  0b00
    #define MFIELD  0b11000_0
    #define CONFIG  ( AFIELD<<28 | BFIELD<<24 | FFIELD<<20 | PFIELD<<8 | TFIELD<<6 | MFIELD )

    Please be patient with me. I used the above settings and set the sample period to 8 / 10 / 6.
    I switched a potentiometer between VIO and GND. The middle tap goes to P0. With a voltmeter at P0, I set a voltage of almost 0 to 1500 mV.
    Nothing changes in the result, a value (432) is constantly output via printf.
    What else can I do wrong?

    }

    It works great!
    I tried it out right now, then I look into the sources to learn how to do it.
    Thanks for this example, Andy!

  • What have I done wrong:
    I have the config function
    _dirl / _wypin / _pinl
    not used.
    And probably the biggest mistake:
    I have not specified GND-ref and VCC-ref.
    I have learned more from your example than from blind testing in the last 2 days.
