[Efi332] Queued SCI transmit with interrupts on MPC555

[David Eicher]

Hi John,

 

This morning I got up, fired up the machine, and ran this again. Now it does
not work..., it ran several times last night but after being powered down
all night, it does not. I must have had the hardware in some state that
allowed it to work, which I can't duplicate this morning. So, I'm still
trying to figure out a combination of "start transmit" code and ISR that
will keep the queue transmitting reliably. Does you or anyone have an
suggestions about what is wrong/missing from this code?

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

Hi John,

Thanks for your response. Yep, I'm trying to get the QSCI to work on the
MPC555 for transmit. I've just got a block of data I need to transmit.

I've implemented the code per the demo code in the quickstart package, it
just flat does not work for me. I've tried both use the two interrupts (QBHE
and QTHE), and tried just using the QBHE interrupt alone (filling queue with
16 bytes each time), and had no success for many hours.

Just earlier tonight I finally managed to get one approach to the point it
appears it is working (more testing required yet though). I'm using just the
QBHE interrupt and flag, filling the queue with 16 bytes each time. The demo
code does not include a "set QTE and TE" in the ISR after the queue is
loaded, but it doesn't seem to transmit without it. There is nothing I've
found in the users manual for MPC555 that indicates that this is required,
but I've had to keep turning the queue on over and over again to keep it
transmitting. 

Is this correct? Or am I just bandaiding some error in my code with the
setting of QTE and TE?

I"ll include the code I've found that works, I'd appreciate your comments on
it:

Thanks much,

Dave

David:

   What seems to be the problem?  I work for Freescale

with the MCUs, so I may be able to help.  Let me know

some specifics.

John Honnold
