DSP Gateway application-reg

[naga rajan]

Hi,
 Currently we are working on OSK5912 with DSP Gateway application programs
provided along with DSP Gateway version3.3. We verified the wdsnd command
program provided with the demo folder. We have some queries to be clarified
with that particular program (demo_console.c).

* Why we have to send a initial data from ARM to DSP?*
Note: On omitting this process, the program is not able to receive data from
DSP.

* Why we have to include a "busywait" in the DSP side in this word transfer?
*Note:   On excluding "busywait", the data transfer is not proper.

 Please provide solutions for my queries.

Thanks in advance,
B.Nagarajan,
SANDS.

Because the DSP task consists of callbacks to the ARM's requests.

That restriction comes from buffer size on ARM side.
For the Word Sending Tasks, DSP Gateway driver prepares 32-words
receiving buffer in ARM side in default.
If DSP sends data words faster than ARM reads, the receiving buffer will
overflow.
If you want a larger buffer, you can change the size of it through
/sys/devices/platform/dsp/dsptaskX/fifosz.
