Sorry the manual is wrong - see my example Should be MEMORY PACK sourceaddress%, Destinationaddress%, number, size MEMORY UNPACK sourceaddress%, Destinationaddress%, number, size Also be careful of your definitions of the arrays How many elements in x(100) and how many in x(200) with default option base? Try Memory unpack Peek(varaddr packed%()),Peek(varaddr data%()),length%,32 In the next beta I'll modify memory pack and unpack so they match the manual and also optionally accept the address version Edited 2023-01-18 23:21 by matherp |

Yip, that is the ultimate goal.... I currently focus only on the heart of the analyzer. The user interface is not my strong side. What I like a lot about the Saleae analyzers is the fluent way they zoom (very quick). Currently only 128 samples in the array, but ultimately there may be 8000 samples 32 bit wide (32kb) and you want to zoom in / out to any block of 500 (640 screen, use 500 for waveformes, 140 for additional info), or scroll fluently. And also zoom in until only 50 samples of so on screen. In that case a vertical cursor is nice. It will be very hard to see time synchonisation with the bare eye. The VGA picomite has only limitted free IO pins. So we can sample 6 GPx pins very fast (40MHz or faster), but it would be nice to have more (16 pins or more). On the VGA picomite we can use 4 x 74LVC165 shift registers to input 32 bits (using the 6 free GPx pins) and sample at 2MHz (shift register is read at 16MHz). You could real time analyze a 6502, databus and address bus and R/W and Ph2 and NMI and IRQ. Something for the 8 bit guy.. In that case we need some extra hardware to get a programmable trigger. Working on that. But I am thinking ahead now. First trigger and reconstruction of the data arrays using the 6 pins. Another thing to think about is protocol analysis (UART decode/I2C decode).

@Peter, When I use the normal DMA RX (no ring buffer) in below program, every keypress samples a new set of data from the GP0-5 pins. But after some 6 or 7 times, the program exits with a panic. I have tried forcing the DMA to a stop, and the message is DMA not running. So the DMA has stopped, but MMBasic has problems. Is this a memory leak ?

Hi Peter, This is improved. The ***PANIC*** message is gone. But the code simply refuses to do a DMA after a few tries. (-or- the DMA's do not complete).  I am developing on the standard picomite. Since I try to bring maximum functionality to the VGA version, I need to use all available IO pins on the VGA version. That leaves me with no IO pins for debug. So I develop on the normal pico, and keep VGA in mind. On my standard pico, I have SDcard connected to the VGA pins (GP16...GP21), to get a group of 16 successive IO pins free (GP0...GP15) for PIO debugging. Currently I work with 2 arrays. One packed array, and one data array. The packed array is resulting of the DMA action. The data array is where the display, data analysis, zooming etc.. will happen on. Until the moment that we can use a small data array and intelligen "unpacking" from the packed array (unpack small sections, like with a magnifier glass) the packed array is just eating up memory. At the moment I jave the data array (100%) and the packed array (size 50%) eating 150% variable space. This could be overcome by adding the "64" size to the DMA (currently 1,4,8,16,32). In that case storage in the "packed" array would be wasting 32 bits per sample, but the data would be in integer format. No need for a "packed" array anymore.. Or am I dreaming..?

OK, I think I've found it. You need to re-initialise the state machine after each run. The DMA call just enables it which runs from wherever the program counter happens to be. In the attached I've modified the PACK and UNPACK commands to match the manual PicoMite.zip Here is your code with the mod to make it reliable (call init in the interrupt routine) ' Test signal: Three phase motor drive - picomite V50706+ ' runs autonomously on GP0...GP5 50Hz SetPin gp0,pwm 'CH 0a SetPin gp1,pwm 'CH 0b SetPin gp2,pwm 'CH 1a SetPin gp3,pwm 'CH 1b SetPin gp4,pwm 'CH 2a SetPin gp5,pwm 'CH 2b PWM 0, 50, 33.33, -66.66, 1, 1 PWM 1, 50, 33.33, -66.66, 1, 1 PWM 2, 50, 33.33, -66.66, 1, 1 PWM sync 0, 100/3, 200/3 Pause 20 '----------------------------------- LA code PIO -------------------------- 'PIO code to sample GP0..GP6 for logic analyzer PIO clear 1 'in this program the PIO reads GP0..GP5 brute force 'and pushes data into FIFO.

Yes, there seems to be a relation with timing. See snip: PIO DMA_IN 1,0,2*length%,packed%(),ReadyInt Pause Rnd*200+200 If I remove the PAUSE, the PIO could potentially put one value in the FIFO before the DMA is ready. After few (6 or 7) triggers the codes tarts putting out "." (done%=0). If I change the pause to PAUSE 20 (1 whole cycle of 50Hz), the DMA should be ready, but after 6 or 7 triggers I get: Error: Invalid address - resetting So you are right, there is a critical timing somewhere. Could this be because you have put the priority of the DMA too high (conflict with USB ?). Regards, Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Peter & Volhout, you are doing a great job! I am following with great interest.

Matherp: Matherp's program above: Sub ReadyInt PIO stop 1,0 Memory unpack packed%(),data%(),2*length%,32 For j=0 To 5 mask%=2^j For i=0 To 2*length%-1 Print a$(((data%(i) And mask%)=mask%)); Next i Next j PIO init machine 1,0,f,p,e,s,0 'start address = 0 'PIO DMA_IN OFF End Sub PIO frequency can then be adjusted "on line" via GUI while the program is running. A possible route for adjustment of sampling speed for Zoom-in and Zoom-out? |

Thanks, Now it works... Thanks you for helping out... Next on my list is doing the circular buffer, to allow for pre-trigger data. This is what I envision: MMBasic------------------------------------------ PIO DMA start PIO write post trigger length (= 1/2 record length) in FIFO (starts capturing) wait for completion of DMA unpack data get DMA packed pointer -> data array index Write screen starting data index, with wrap around. PIO code ------------------------------------------ .wrap target pull OSR blocking (wait for MMBasic to provide 1/2 record lenth) move OSR->X loop: capturing data to fifo no trigger GPx jump to loop loop2: capture data to fifo jump (X<>0) loop2 X-- .wrap Volhout Nice idea Pluto. That is only zooming IN/OUT while sampling (the capturing). The zoom IN/OUT when the data is already captured must happen on the packed%() or data%(). Both are needed.
