Re: AX5043 SPI working on Blinky
by Bob Stricklin 08 Feb '24

Burns, thanks for all your work and the comments. I was out most of the day and just getting to look at this. All your comments look like minor things we can work to improve on. The key thing I see is that you are talking to AX5043. Let me look at the clock ringing when i get a valid build of Version ‘O’. We may need to add some small series resistance on the lines. I will also take a look with and without the pull-ups. This can also be related to the capacitance of the scope probe and how you are grounding the probe. Since it is writing and reading it must not be getting double/multi clocked. The PA section is not working on your board for sure. Still looking at that myself. While some would like more power we do not have to have that to do a lot of radio testing. Your comments about SPI working correctly is something to address with code (verification of expected W/R) on this board and other AMSAT projects. I would say to hold on to that board until you have a replacement in hand then ship it back to me. Should be soon I got the 3D boxes and just need to make the known changes to all three boards. Hope to move the boards along tomorrow. Now if you want it out of house so it is not on your mind and pull at you then go ahead. Still have a GIT issue of some sort. I am attaching a series of photos of my screens to show you what I am seeing. It looks like a permissions issue. The only way I have made it work on Version M was to pull the GIT in linux then move everything to Windows. If I stop doing anything with HCG I can just switch to Windows. Have seen the wrong processor show up starting with the processor used on the Launchpad board. We can fix this in the long run but having the code for different hardware in the same repository seems like a possible issue for any new AMSAT helpers to understand and deal with. Here are GIT screen shots: You can see I tried to do a Pull, then a fetch pull. There is a little black check mark on the Blinky and that is the one in Project Explore window. This will not build an ‘out' file though and I see in config.h a version ‘1k’ if that is where the version reported lives. So probably not getting the most up-to-date code.

It turns out the only difference between the chips is the amount of flash memory, so it probably won't hurt anything till we start getting more and more code. I'd guess the only difference in the generated code is the linker script. I may try to fix it some time, but for now I'll just let it go. 73, Burns Fisher, WB1FJ AMSAT(R) Engineering -- Flight Software On Wed, Feb 7, 2024 at 5:59 PM Burns Fisher (AMSAT) <wb1fj(a)fisher.cc<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: One disadvantage to SPI is that there is no way that the code can really tell if it did not work. If it totally fails, the return value is 0xff. It is certainly easy enough to put in a default value if what is read is out of range. Probably a good idea even for permanently. The main reason for the MRAM is so that the frequency can be tweaked if the crystal is a bit off. Give me some values, and I can add that easily. I have no idea if the other 5043 register values are reasonable, but give that several registers seem to be fine, I'd guess that they are real if not right. Actually, I'm not sure if the PA is working.

AX5043 SPI working on Blinky

Here is my test command.

Quick test for AX5043
by Burns Fisher (AMSAT) 06 Feb '24

06 Feb '24

I added a quick test to tell if the 5043 SPI interface is working. This is in version 0.1n and has been pushed upstream. Pacsat>test ax AX5043 #0: Revision=7, scratch=7 AX5043 #1: Revision=7, scratch=7 AX5043 #2: Revision=119, scratch=119 AX5043 #3: Revision=7, scratch=7 AX5043 #4: Revision=119, scratch=119 AX5043 #5: Revision=7, scratch=7 This is what it looks like. However the numbers are all wrong. I'm not sure how they can be other than right or 0xff, but something is screwed up. The Revision should be 0x51, which would be printed in decimal as 81. The scratch register, I wrote the AX5043 number into, so each one should read the same as the first number in the line, i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. You might as well try it on yours Bob. In the meantime, I'll try to see if I can tell anything on mine. 73, Burns Fisher, WB1FJ *AMSAT(R) Engineering -- Flight Software*

Looks promising but the radio chips have the wrong frequencies. Those are loaded at boot and these routines read back from the chips. I think it prints error messages if the chips don't respond though.. Need to check that but I am out with family at the moment.

BTW, I don't if I ever said this (if so, just a remnider): Before you generate code from HalCoGen, you MUST put the code that is in CCS back in the place where HalCoGen puts its code. That is because there are a few places where I put some stuff in the "USER CODE BEGIN" section. Look in particular at sys_main.c and spi.c (in which I actually commented out a whole bunch of code and put in my own version in hcgExtras). I run CCS on Linux and HCG on Windows, and use dropbox to connect them. HalCoGen writes directly into DropBox. Then I just copy all the files on the Linux side from dropbox into CCS, and if I make any changes in the USER CODE section then I copy it from CCS back to HCG. I'm not sure what you meant about HCG a few mails back. The HalCoGen file PACSatBlinky.hcg certainly is set up for the TMS570LS0914. 73, Burns Fisher, WB1FJ *AMSAT(R) Engineering -- Flight Software* On Mon, Feb 5, 2024 at 4:56 PM Bob Stricklin via pacsat-dev < pacsat-dev(a)amsat.org> wrote: > Just realized that the second temp sensor is not on this board.

Just realized that the second temp sensor is not on this board. I took it off to change address and have not put it back yet.

Thats good.
