DMA data loss when changing PWM frequency during the DMA reading - c

First time working with DMA here and I'm getting data loss when the frequency of a PWM signal is varied during the DMA reading. The DMA request is triggered by a 16MHz clock. I'm using DMA2 on STM32f429zi.
The DMA direction is peripheral to memory, where I try to read the whole GPIO port E to memory. The data loss is clearly visible in the beginning of the DMA reading when the PWM frequency is changed. If I comment out the code with the varying of PWM frequency (see part of the code below), there is no visible data loss in the DMA reading.
You can see in the attached image that the upper plot loses data points of the sine wave (4 points per period) and in the lower plot there is no data loss.
As I understand, DMA should work independently and not be affected by CPU, but for me it seems to not be the case. Could this be due to working with a too high clock frequency? Or am I missing something else? I'm really stuck on this problem, any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Linda

SPI slave read data into buffer on stm32?

I'm trying to set communication between esp32 (master) and stm32 (slave) over SPI. esp32 is running under micropython and sends four bytes, for example
spi.write_readinto(b'\x31\x32\x33\x34', buf)
stm32' code is here (instead of this i use SPI_InitDef.SPI_NSS = SPI_NSS_Soft;)
void SPI_Init(void) {
...
// initialize SPI slave
// for slave, no need to define SPI_BaudRatePrescaler
SPI_InitDef.SPI_Direction = SPI_Direction_2Lines_FullDuplex;
SPI_InitDef.SPI_Mode = SPI_Mode_Slave;
SPI_InitDef.SPI_DataSize = SPI_DataSize_8b; // 8-bit transactions
SPI_InitDef.SPI_FirstBit = SPI_FirstBit_MSB; // MSB first
SPI_InitDef.SPI_CPOL = SPI_CPOL_Low; // CPOL = 0, clock idle low
SPI_InitDef.SPI_CPHA = SPI_CPHA_2Edge; // CPHA = 1
SPI_InitDef.SPI_NSS = SPI_NSS_Hard; // use hardware SS
SPI_InitDef.SPI_BaudRatePrescaler = SPI_BaudRatePrescaler_64; // APB2 72/64 = 1.125 MHz
SPI_InitDef.SPI_CRCPolynomial = 7;
SPI_Init(SPI1, &SPI_InitDef);
SPI_Cmd(SPI1, ENABLE);
NVIC_EnableIRQ(SPI1_IRQn);
//Тут мы разрешаем прерывание по приему
SPI_I2S_ITConfig(SPI1, SPI_I2S_IT_RXNE, ENABLE);
}
void main() {
/* Setup SysTick Timer for 10ms interrupts */
if (SysTick_Config(SystemCoreClock / 100))
{
/* Capture error */
while (1);
}
/* Configure the SysTick handler priority */
NVIC_SetPriority(SysTick_IRQn, 0x0);
SPI_Init();
while(1) {
while(!SPI_I2S_GetFlagStatus(SPI1, SPI_I2S_FLAG_RXNE));
for (u8 i=0; i<4; i++) {
printf("0x%02x ", SPI_I2S_ReceiveData(SPI1));
}
printf("\r\n");
}
}
But when I send four bytes 0x31 0x32 0x33 0x34 (analyzer confirms bytes were sent) and my stm gets only 0x31 0x32 0x31 0x32
UPD
I use std periph library and SPI_I2S_ReceiveData is a native method to read byte from SPI.
uint16_t SPI_I2S_ReceiveData ( SPI_TypeDef * SPIx )
Returns the most recent received data by the SPIx/I2Sx peripheral.
Parameters:
SPIx,: To select the SPIx/I2Sx peripheral, where x can be: 1, 2 or 3 in SPI mode or 2 or 3 in I2S mode or I2Sxext for I2S full duplex mode.
Return values:
The value of the received data.
uint16_t SPI_I2S_ReceiveData ( SPI_TypeDef * SPIx )
Returns the most recent received data by the SPIx/I2Sx peripheral.
Parameters:
SPIx,: To select the SPIx/I2Sx peripheral, where x can be: 1, 2 or 3 in SPI mode or 2 or 3 in I2S mode or I2Sxext for I2S full duplex mode.
Return values:
The value of the received data.
But maybe I exit out from IRQ before all data are read. I found to run the while loop until the transmission of the last byte is complete
I think the following code is not correct (but I don't know what the function SPI_I2S_ReceiveData is doing):
while(!SPI_I2S_GetFlagStatus(SPI1, SPI_I2S_FLAG_RXNE));
for (u8 i=0; i<4; i++) {
printf("0x%02x ", SPI_I2S_ReceiveData(SPI1));
}
You exit from the while as soon as one byte is ready to be read. I assume SPI_I2S_ReceiveData is only reading the SPI FIFO. in that case you try to read 4 bytes when possibly only one or two has been received.
You didn't precise the kind of STM32 you're using so I am describing the SPI of STM32H7 (as far as I know it should be pretty similar in other STM32).
To setup a reception in slave mode you should define in particular these 3 parameters:
the length of the socalled "frame" (number of bytes to be read/written at once). This is the field SPI_DataSize` in the HAL data structure, here 8 bits.
the number of transfer (TSIZE) which specifies when the End Of Transmission event is generated. It is expressed in number of "frames". This parameter must be set through register SPI.CR2 before each reception (provided you know the number of bytes to be received of course).
the "FIFO threshold". It specifies at which frequency an event RXP or TXP is generated. You can change this parameter to decrease the workload on the software but to receive only 4 bytes it has no impact.
In your case I think you should setup a transfer size of 4 (4 bytes) and wait for EOT flag to be set. When it is set you only have to read 4 bytes from SPI Receive Register (you can read all 4 bytes at once by the way).
I suggest you do not use the HAL but write your own SPI reception / transmission routines by reading / writing registers. It is not a very complex peripheral (so it will not cost you a lot of time) and you will understand precisely how it works (instead of digging into the HAL).

STM32 maximum interrupt handling frequency

I am trying to implement my own SPI communication from FPGA to STM in which my FPGA serve as MASTER and generate Chip enable and clock for communication. FPGA transmit data at its rising edge and receive data at its falling edge my FPGA code works properly.
In STM side i capture this master clock on interrupts and receive data at its rising edge and transmit at its falling edge but communication not work properly if i increase clock speed from 250khz
According to my understand STM work at 168 Mega hz i set clock setting according to 168Mhz and handling of 1mhz interrupt is not a big problem so can you any guide how i handle this high speed clock in STM
My code is written below

Without getting into your code specific, see PeterJ_01's comment, the clock rate problem can be explained by a misunderstanding of throughput in your assumtions.
You assume that given that your STM device has a clock of 168Mhz it can sustain the same throughput of interrupts, which you seem to have conservatively relaxed to 1Mhz.
However the throughput of interrupts it will be able to support is given by the inverse of the time it takes the device to process each interrupt. This time includes both the time the processor takes to enter the service routing (ie detect the interrupt, interrupt the current code and resolve from the vector table where to jump to) plus the time taken to execute the service routine.
Lets be super optimistic and say that entering the routine takes 1 cycle and the routing itself takes 3 (2 for the flags you set and 1 for the jump out of the routine). This gives 4 cycles at 168Mhz is 23.81ns, taking the inverse 42Mhz. This can also be computed by dividing the maximum frequency you would achieve (168Mhz) by the number of cycles spent processing.
Hence our really optimistic bound is 42Mhz, but realistically will be lower. For a more accurate estimate you should test your implementation timings and dig into your device's documentation to see interrupt response times.

how can I make multiple ultrasonic sensors work at the same time using atmega32

I am working on an auto-parking car robot and I am using 8 (hc-sr04) ultrasonic sensors (2 at each side) but the problem is that I am using atmega32 which has limited resources only 3 external interrupts and 3 timers (and even if using interrupts somehow works I might run into risk to have two interrupts triggered at the same time).
I am using this sensor : http://ram-e-shop.com/oscmax/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=907
I've tried using digital I/O pins with polling procedure but it didn't work.
here is the code for polling procedure:
unsigned int read_sonar(){
int dist_in_cm = 0;
init_sonar(); // Setup pins and ports
trigger_sonar(); // send a 10us high pulse
while(!(ECHO_PIN & (1<<ECHO_BIT))){ // while echo pin is still low
USART_Message("echo pin low\r\n");
trig_counter++;
uint32_t max_response_time = SONAR_TIMEOUT;
if (trig_counter > max_response_time){ // SONAR_TIMEOUT
return TRIG_ERROR;
}
}
TCNT1=0; // reset timer
TCCR1B |= (1<<CS10); // start 16 bit timer with no prescaler
TIMSK |= (1<<TOIE1); // enable overflow interrupt on timer1
overFlowCounter=0; // reset overflow counter
sei(); // enable global interrupts
while((ECHO_PIN & (1<<ECHO_BIT))){ // while echo pin is still high
USART_Message("echo pin high\r\n");
if (((overFlowCounter*TIMER_MAX)+TCNT1) > SONAR_TIMEOUT){
USART_Message("timeout");
return ECHO_ERROR; // No echo within sonar range
}
};
TCCR1B = 0x00; // stop 16 bit timer with no prescaler
cli(); // disable global interrupts
no_of_ticks = ((overFlowCounter*TIMER_MAX)+TCNT1); // counter count
dist_in_cm = (no_of_ticks/(CONVERT_TO_CM*CYCLES_PER_US)); // distance in cm
return (dist_in_cm );}
This method doesn't work if I want to read all sensors at the same time, because it gets stuck in the loop for a while.
I also tried using freeRTOS to build a task that checks the state of pins like every 1msec but this won't be a time accurate.
any help?
Assuming that You use internal clock which is 8MHz I would try to handle this inside timer overflow interrupt and would use whole port to connect the sensors.
Use Timer in normal mode or CTC mode (which I find quite intuitive) to ensure periodical interrupts. Set the appropriate period. Remember that the clock has pretty low frequency so don't exaggerate (I think that 0,25 ms will fit).
Connect the sensors to one port, e.g. PORTB. This is a nice situation because ATmega32 has 4 ports with pins numbered from 0-7 and you use 8 sensors so the register for the specific port can cover all of the pins and You can use one read to get states of all of the pins.
Implement the logic:
volatile uint8_t sensors_states;
volatile uint8_t read_flag = 0;
ISR(TIMER0_OVF_vect)
{
sensors_states = PORTB;
read_flag = 1;
}
int main()
{
// Initialize peripherals ...
// You must assume on your own how much time could the pin be held
// in the same state. This is important because the number must not
// be bigger than max value for the type of the array
uint8_t states_time[8] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
uint8_t prev_sensors_states = PORTB;
while(1)
{
// Wait until the flag will be set in the ISR
if(read_flag)
{
for(uint8_t i = 0, mask = 0x80 ; i < 8 ; i ++, mask >>= 1)
{
states_time[i]++;
// Compare the previous state and present state on each pin
uint8_t state = mask & sensors_states;
if((mask & prev_sensors_states) != state)
{
// Here you can use the state of the pin and the duration of that state.
// Remember that when 'state' is > 0 it means that previous state of the
// pin was '0' and if if 'state' is == 0 then the previous pin state
// was '1' (negation).
do_something_with_pin_change(states_time[i], state);
states_time[i] = 0;
}
}
// Save the previous states of the pins
prev_sensors_states = sensors_states;
// Clear the flag to await next data update
read_flag = 0;
}
}
}
If You will try to use FreeRTOS You could use ulTaskNotifyTake and vTaskNotifyGiveFromISR, instead of using read_flag, to implement a simple mechanism which will notify a task from the interrupt that the port has been read. The processor will go into idle state for a while and you could then invoke a sleep function to minimize power consumption.
I don't know what You want to do with this data so I've invoked do_something_with_pin_change function to indicate the point where You can use the data.
To sum up for this solution You would only use one interrupt and of course 8 pins.

Getting continuous stream from Lepton FLIR Camera with board Nucleo-f401re

I connected my Flir Lepton Camera to my board, and I'm trying to have a continuous stream of the image, thanks to the program ThermalView (source code here: https://github.com/groupgets/LeptonModule/tree/master/software/ThermalView)
I compiled and downloaded the following code on my board:

}
}
// Output image buffer to USART2
void frameToPc()
{
static uint8_t frameSkipper = 0;
uint8_t timeStamp = (HAL_GetTick() - last_frame_millis); // calculate time passed since last been here

while(huart2.gState != HAL_UART_STATE_READY); // wait for transmission to complete
HAL_UART_Transmit_DMA(&huart2, &IMG[0], LEPTON_IMG_SIZE_BYTES);
frameSkipper = 0;
}
frameSkipper++;
}uint8_t LeptonReadFrame()
{
uint8_t i, frame_number, frame_complete=0;
uint16_t bad_frame_counter=0;
while(!frame_complete)
{
leptonBegin();
HAL_SPI_Receive(&hspi1, &FramePacket[0], LEPTON_PACKET_LENGTH, 1000); // READ LINE
leptonEnd();
//HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2, &FramePacket[0], LEPTON_PACKET_LENGTH, 1000); // PRINT LINE
if( (FramePacket[0] & 0x0f) != 0x0f ) // not discard frame
{
frame_number = FramePacket[1];
if(frame_number < 60) // valid frame
{
bad_frame_counter = 0;
for(i= 0; i<LEPTON_PACKET_CONTENT_LENGTH; i++)
{
IMG[frame_number*LEPTON_PACKET_CONTENT_LENGTH+i] = FramePacket[i+4]; // copy line into IMG buffer, ignoring ID and CRC
}
}
else
{
bad_frame_counter++;
}
if(frame_number == 59)
{
frame_complete = 1;
}
if(bad_frame_counter>1000) // 800 lines = 5 bad frames = resync needed
{
bad_frame_counter = 0;
HAL_Delay(185); // CS is already disabled so the delay is enougth
}
}
}
return 1;
}
I'm succesfully getting a stream, but I have to put a delay of 1 sec between each frame, and have to skip frames between 2 frames I'm sending to the computer. If you pay attention to something wrong in the code which prevents increasing the frame rate, let me know.
Are you using a Lepton 2 or Lepton 3? The Lepton 3 will require acquisition of not only the "Frames" but also 4 "segments" There are also 2 blank screens output by the Lepton Modules. More details in this document:
http://www.flir.com/uploadedFiles/OEM/Products/LWIR-Cameras/Lepton/Lepton-vs-Lepton-3-App-Note.pdf
comparing the Lepton 2X series (80x60) resolution and the Lepton 3 (160x120) resolution.
The four most significant differences between the Lepton and Lepton 3 VoSPI interfaces are:
1) On Lepton, reconstructing a video frame from the individual packets requires the host to decode the packet number from each packet header. On Lepton 3, the host must decode both the packet number and the segment number.
2) The total number of bits per frame is 4X greater for Lepton 3 than for Lepton. Consequently, the minimum SPI clock rate is 4X faster. The maximum SPI clock rate for both modules is 20 MHz.
3) Both Lepton and Lepton 3 provide the option to output a sync pulse on GPIO3. The frequency of the pulse is 4X higher on Lepton 3 than on Lepton. For Lepton 3, the sync pulse represents when the next available segment is available whereas for Lepton it indicates when the next available frame is available.
4) When telemetry is enabled in Lepton, it results in three extra video lines (63 total packets per frame). When telemetry is enabled in Lepton 3, it results in 1 additional packet per segment for a total of 2 extra video lines.
Im trying to get the lepton 3 to work on my stm32f746g-discovery board.

STM8 interrupt serial receive

I am new to STM8, and trying to use a STM8S103F3, using IAR Embedded Workbench.
Using C, I like to use the registers directly.
I need serial on 14400 baud, 8N2, and getting the UART transmit is easy, as there are numerous good tutorials and examples on the net.
Then the need is to have the UART receive on interrupt, nothing else will do.
That is the problem.
According to iostm8s103f3.h (IAR) there are 5 interrupts on 0x14 vector
UART1_R_IDLE, UART1_R_LBDF, UART1_R_OR, UART1_R_PE, UART1_R_RXNE
According to Silverlight Developer: Registers on the STM8,
Vector 19 (0x13) = UART_RX
According to ST Microelectronics STM8S.h
#define UART1_BaseAddress 0x5230
#define UART1_SR_RXNE ((u8)0x20) /*!< Read Data Register Not Empty mask */
#if defined(STM8S208) ||defined(STM8S207) ||defined(STM8S103) ||defined(STM8S903)
#define UART1 ((UART1_TypeDef *) UART1_BaseAddress)
#endif /* (STM8S208) ||(STM8S207) || (STM8S103) || (STM8S903) */
According to STM8S Reference manual RM0016
The RXNE flag (Rx buffer not empty) is set on the last sampling clock edge,
when the data is transferred from the shift register to the Rx buffer.
It indicates that a data is ready to be read from the SPI_DR register.
Rx buffer not empty (RXNE)
When set, this flag indicates that there is a valid received data in the Rx buffer.
This flag is reset when SPI_DR is read.
Then I wrote:
#pragma vector = UART1_R_RXNE_vector //as iostm8s103f3 is used, that means 0x14
__interrupt void UART1_IRQHandler(void)
{ unsigned character recd;
recd = UART1_SR;
if(1 == UART1_SR_RXNE) recd = UART1_DR;
etc.
No good, I continually get interrupts, UART1_SR_RXNE is set, but UART1_DR
is empty, and no UART receive has happened. I have disabled all other interrupts
I can see that can vector to this, and still no good.
The SPI also sets this flag, presumably the the UART and SPI cannot be used
together.
I sorely need to get this serial receive interrupt going. Please help.
Thank you
The problem was one bit incorrectly set in the UART1 setup.
The complete setup for the UART1 in the STM8S103F3 is now(IAR):

You forget to add global interrupt flag

It happens at non isolated connections whenever you connect your board's ground with other source's ground (USB<->TTL converter connected to PC etc.), In this case microcontroller is getting noise due to high value SMPS's Y capacitor etc.
Simply connect your RX and TX line's via 1K resistor and put 1nF (can be deceased for high speed) capacitors on these lines and to ground (micro controller side) to suppress noises.
