A few pieces of advise on how to get these examples to work. Make sure to boot with the custom MLO provided with Starterware as this sets up memory and clocks required by Starterware. Also don’t forget to use the GEL file when launching CCSV6. I also had to add a watchdog disable to the GEL file or else BBB just keeps on rebooting. I have attached my custom GEL file.

Here is one such project, although I'm not sure this is the one I was thinking of

https://github.com/BeaglePilot/PRUSS-C

the starterware stuff is located in the PRUSS_LIB sub directory.

Yeah that link John gave out seems good. I've been meaning to follow it myself for a couple weeks now. But I've been doing other things waiting for remoteproc / rpmsg to settle down.

I really like the idea of remoteproc / rpmsg, it seems very intuitive / natural.

Also Micka, there is *some* github project that uses starterware too . . . demonstrating how to use starterware inside a ti_cgt C compiler project . . . I do not remember which it is, so may not be able to find a link to it . . .

Ok, the problem is that in a PRU project you don't have access to the I2C function that you have in the starterware :'( .


I guess that I need to code in ASM then ^^ .

Ok, thx for the tips.

I've CCS & starterware installed. I found the I2C driver. But how do you create a PRU project for the beaglebone black ? 

In the CCS App center, the PRU compiler is installed, but I can't find how to create a PRU project ?


Micka,

Hi Micka,

With a few tweaks, you can use the drivers from Staterware[1] and use the PRU C compiler. My advice is to use Starterware on the CortexA8 to get familiar with the examples, utilities and driver code. Next you want to pull out just the driver and utility code you need and put it into one file, compile with the PRU C compiler and fix errors and warnings. Don’t forget to add CT_CFG.SYSCFG_bit.STANDBY_INIT = 0;[2] to the start of main().

I do this all with a JTAG emulator. Not sure how you will be able to debug this code otherwise.

By the way, I keep seeing stuff like "C2" in PASM assembly in regard to the PRU's. Wish I could figure out what it is . . . Seems to be some sort of constant "register" ? And there is more than just C2, but I have not found any reference to those yet :/

Hi Micka,

I do not think he is using and driver. When speaking of the I2C module, I believe hes speaking of the physical on chip module. But this . . .

#define I2C1_BASE            C2                //base registri I2C1 nella tabella

translated from Italian to English  . . . I2C1 base registers in the table  which seems to me he is setting up the I2C hardware module directly through it's registers in memory. But the other link, he pasted I do not know if you saw it or not http://beagleboard.org/Community/Forums/?place=msg%2Fbeagleboard%2FDAXyYJOrDIc%2FDZ8WKkRWaC0J he talks about the problem being solved and he was not bringing the hardware module out of reset, which is similar to how the ADC module works.

Wish I could help you more, but I know nearly nothing about I2C. I know what it is, and vaguely how it's done, but have never used I2C . . .

Hi,

I'm interested by what you have done.  I want to use i2c to read analog value from a component.

The first solution that I found was to bitbang the i2c. But you, you use the i2c driver which is nice.

Could you give us the peace of asm code that you use to interface with the MCP23017. And if you have the c code also it would be great.

( if possible, also the part of you managed to activate the module by writing MODULEMODE field into register CM_PER_I2C1_CLKCTRL register and also the code that wait for IDLEST field to confirm that module is ready).

Micka,

I've also posted this in I2C topic, the solution is there:

I want to manage the I2C1 module by the PRU, in order to interface some I/O expanders (MCP23017 by Microchip).
I use may own "cape" without the plug-n' play eeprom (one of the next steps will be adding management for DCAN0 and DCAN1 so i'll need these pins too...).
So, at present, there are just 2 MCP23017 connected to the P9.17 and P9.18.

I load the cape-universal into slots and then I use configure-pin command to set P9.17 and P9.18 as i2c

I've started from an example into the am335x_pru_package-master and wrote my own C PRU loader.
Very simple, it just:

loads the PRU codeinit the data exhanged with the PRUstart the PRUwait for ESC key presssignal to the PRU to stopwait for the PRU stopexit.


Also the assembly PRU code is simple:

init I2C1 module (by writing registers PSC, SCLL, SCLH, CON)init 1st I/O expander as 16 inputs (even if at power on it's already set as input)init 2nd I/O expander as 16 outputscicle reading status of inputs from 1st expander and echoing to the outputs of 2nd expanderexit cycle and halt when receive stop flag from the loader

for send and receive I2C messages I use register SA, CNT, DATA and CON.

That's very simple and linear... pity, it doesn't work.

I didn't see any activity at all in P9.17 and P9.18.

The PRU code is surely running, as I add a cycle counter and show it in the loader while it's waiting for ESC keypress, and also the PRU code correctly stops at the loader command.

I was expecting that the PRU code stalls if I2C bus doesn't work, as there are waiting cycles both for STOP condition or for CNT reaching zero (depending on the write or read message sending).

But it seems running, and running very fast also: the cycle counter is incremented to a very fast rate (over 550 kcycles/s)  that's not compatible with the correct executing of I2C sequences (I've setted the module for 400Kbps rate... so the PRU cycle it's even faster than a single I2C bit time!).

I'm surely doing something wrong, but I cant fugure what.

Any idea?

Suggestions?
