Function Documentation

◆ edt_configure_ring_buffers()

int edt_configure_ring_buffers	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		unsigned int	bufsize,
		unsigned int	numbufs,
		unsigned int	write_flag
	)

Prepare and configure ring buffers for DMA to/from the EDT device.

Any previous configuration is replaced, and previously allocated buffers are released. Buffers are allocated and maintained within the EDT device library.

For optimal efficiency, allocate a bufsize value approximating throughput divided by 20: that is, if transfer occurs at 20 MB per second, allocate 1 MB per buffer. Buffers significantly larger or smaller can overuse memory or lock the system up in processing interrupts at this speed.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
bufsize	Size of each buffer, in bytes.
numbufs	Number of buffers. Must be 1 or greater. Four is recommended for most applications.
write_flag	Whether this DMA channel is configured for input (read from device) or output (write to device). Pass either EDT_READ or EDT_WRITE.

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure. Get system error message with edt_perror()

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ edt_ref_tmstamp()

int edt_ref_tmstamp	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		u_int	val
	)

Causes application-defined events to show up in the same timeline as driver events when the event history is listed by running setdebug -g.

This may be useful for debugging.

Example:

#define BEFORE_WAIT 0x1212aaaa
#define AFTER_WAIT 0x3434bbbb
u_char *buf;
edt_ref_tmstamp(edt_p, BEFORE_WAIT);
buf=edt_wait_for_buffer(edt_p);
edt_ref_tmstamp(edt_p, AFTER_WAIT);
 
// now look at output of setdebug -g and you'll see something like:
 
// 0: 0001ca0 REFTMSTAMP           : 1212aaaa      324.422071 (0.004189)
// ... other events from edt_wait_for_buffer() shown, like START_BUF, SETUP_DMA, FLUSH, etc
// 0: 0001d08 REFTMSTAMP           : 3434bbbb        324.518885 (0.000045)

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
val	An arbitrary value meaningful to the application.

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

◆ edt_get_todo()

uint_t edt_get_todo ( EdtDev edt_p )

Get the number of buffers that the driver has been told to acquire.

This is not normally needed.

This allows an application to know the state of the ring buffers within an interrupt, timeout, or when cleaning up on close. It also allows the application to know how close it is getting behind the acquisition.

int curdone;
int curtodo;
curdone = edt_done_count(edt_p);
curtodo = edt_get_todo(edt_p);
// curtodo - curdone is how close the DMA is to catching up with our
// processing

See also: edt_done_count, edt_start_buffers, edt_wait_for_buffers

Parameters

edt_p The open EDT device handle.

Returns: Number of buffers started via edt_start_buffers().

◆ edt_read()

int edt_read	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		void *	buf,
		uint_t	size
	)

Perform a DMA read from the EDT device.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
buf	Buffer to read data in to.
size	Number of bytes to read. `buf` must be equal to or greater than this size.

Returns: Number of bytes read if successful. -1 on failure.

For those on UNIX systems, the UNIX 2 GB file offset bug is avoided during large amounts of input or output. That is, reading past 2^31 bytes does not fail. This call is not multibuffering, and no transfer is active when it completes.

Note: If using timeouts, call edt_timeouts() after this returns to see if the number of timeouts has incremented. If it has incremented, call edt_get_timeout_count() to get the number of bytes transferred into the buffer.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ edt_write()

int edt_write	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		void *	buf,
		uint_t	size
	)

Perform a DMA write to the EDT device.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
buf	Data to write to the device.
size	Number of bytes to write. `buf` must be equal to or greater than this size.

Returns: Number of bytes written if successful. -1 on failure.

For those on UNIX systems, the UNIX 2 GB file offset bug is avoided during large amounts of input or output. That is, reading past 2^31 bytes does not fail. This call is not multibuffering, and no transfer is active when it completes.

Note: If using timeouts, call edt_timeouts() after this returns to see if the number of timeouts has incremented. If it has incremented, call edt_get_timeout_count() to get the number of bytes transferred into the buffer.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ edt_configure_block_buffers()

int edt_configure_block_buffers	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		int	bufsize,
		int	numbufs,
		int	write_flag,
		int	header_size,
		int	header_before
	)

Prepare and configure ring buffers for DMA, allocating buffers as a single large block, setting the buffer addresses from within that block.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
bufsize	Size of individual buffers, in bytes
numbufs	Number of buffers to create in the ring.
write_flag	Either EDT_WRITE or EDT_READ.
header_size	If non-zero, additional memory will be allocated for each buffer for Header data. The location of this header region is determined by the argument `header_before`.
header_before	If non-zero, the header region is placed before the DMA buffer. Otherwise it comes after the DMA buffer.

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure.

This allows reading or writing buffers from/to a file in single chunks larger than the buffer size, which is sometimes considerable more efficient.

Primarily used by pdv_multibuf() in PDV library.

Buffer sizes are rounded up by PAGE_SIZE so that DMA occurs on a page boundary.

Note: The buffer pointer returned by edt_wait_for_buffers() is always the DMA buffer.

See also: edt_reset_ring_buffers(), edt_abort_dma()

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ edt_stop_buffers()

int edt_stop_buffers ( EdtDev edt_p )

Stop DMA transfer after the current buffer has completed. Ring buffer mode remains active, and transfers may be resumed by calling edt_start_buffers().

Parameters

edt_p The open EDT device handle.

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ edt_start_buffers()

int edt_start_buffers	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		uint_t	count
	)

Start DMA transfers for count number of buffers.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
count	Number of buffers in a ring to release to the driver for transfer. A value of 0 starts "free running" mode where transfers run continuously until edt_stop_buffers() is called. If `count` is greater than the number of buffers in the ring, DMA continues looping through the buffers until the total count has been satisfied.

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ edt_set_buffer_size()

int edt_set_buffer_size	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		uint_t	index,
		uint_t	size,
		uint_t	write_flag
	)

Change the size or direction of one buffer in a ring.

Warning: Improper use can have nasty side effects. Prefer to use separate DMA channels with different size or direction configuration, instead of modifying a channel's individual buffer.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
index	Index of ring buffer to change.
size	New buffer size to use.
write_flag	Direction; either EDT_WRITE or EDT_READ.

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure.

Mixing directions requires detailed knowledge of the interface since pending preloaded DMA transfers need to be coordinated with the interface fifo direction. For example, a DMA write will complete when the data is in the output fifo, but the DMA read should not be started until the data is out to the external device. Most applications requiring fast mixed reads/writes have worked out more cleanly using seperate, simultaneous, read and write dma transfers using different DMA channels.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ edt_allocated_size()

unsigned int edt_allocated_size	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		int	buffer_idx
	)

Get the allocated size of the specified buffer.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
buffer_idx	Index of the buffer.

Returns: The buffer size in bytes, or 0 if the specified index is invalid.

◆ edt_get_total_bufsize()

int edt_get_total_bufsize	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		int	bufsize,
		int	header_size
	)

Get the total buffer size for block of buffers, in which the memory allocation size is rounded up so all buffers start on a page boundary. This is used to allocate a single contiguous block of DMA buffers.

Note: The total size of a ring buffer is this value multiplied by the number of buffers in the ring.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
bufsize	Size of a buffer.
header_size	Optional size of an additional header region.

Returns: Full buffer size, in bytes.

See also: edt_configure_block_buffers()

◆ edt_wait_for_buffers()

void * edt_wait_for_buffers	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		int	count
	)

Blocks until the specified number of buffers have completed.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
count	Number of buffers to block for. Completed buffers are numbered relatively; start each call with 1.

Returns: Address of last completed buffer on success; NULL on failure.

Note: If using timeouts, call edt_timeouts() after edt_wait_for_buffers() returns to see if the number of timeouts has incremented. If it has incremented, call edt_get_timeout_count() to get the number of bytes transferred into the buffer. When not in free run mode, DMA will not automatically continue on to the next buffer, so you need to call edt_start_buffers() to move on to the next buffer in the ring.; If the ring buffer is in free run mode and the application cannot process data as fast as it is acquired, DMA will wrap around and overwrite the referenced buffer (an "overrun" condition). The application must ensure that the data in the buffer is processed or copied out in time to prevent overrun. Use edt_ring_buffer_overrun() to check for overruns.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ edt_get_timestamp()

int edt_get_timestamp	(	EdtDev	edt_p,

Example:

edt_timespec_t ts;
u_int bufnum = edt_done_count(edt_p);
edt_get_timestamp(edt_p, &ts, bufnum);
printf("Timestamp: %s", edt_timestring(&ts));

Returns the cumulative count of completed buffer transfers in ring buffer mode.

Parameters

edt_p The open EDT device handle.

Returns: The number of completed buffer transfers. -1 is returned if ring buffer mode is not configured or some other error occurred.

Completed buffers are numbered consecutively starting with 0 when edt_configure_ring_buffers() is invoked. The index of the ring buffer most recently completed by the driver equals the number returned modulo the number of ring buffers.

If an error occurs, call edt_perror() to get the system error message.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ edt_check_for_buffers()

void * edt_check_for_buffers	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		uint_t	count
	)

Checks, without blocking, if the specified number of buffers have completed.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
count	Number of buffers. Must be 1 or greater.

Returns: Returns the address of the ring buffer corresponding to count if it has completed DMA, or NULL if count buffers are not yet complete.

Note: If the ring buffer is in free-running mode and the application cannot process data as fast as it is acquired, DMA will wrap around and overwrite the referenced buffer. The application must ensure that the data in the buffer is processed or copied out in time to prevent overrun.

◆ edt_get_direction()

uint16_t edt_get_direction ( EdtDev edt_p )

Get the value of the PCD_DIRA and PCD_DIRB registers. The value from PCD_DIRB is shifted up 8 bits.

Parameters

edt_p The open EDT device handle.

Returns: Combined value read from direction registers.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ edt_startdma_reg()

void edt_startdma_reg	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		uint_t	desc,
		uint_t	val
	)

Set the register and value to use at the start of DMA, as set by edt_startdma_action().

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
desc	Register description of which register to use as in edtreg.h.
val	Value to write to register described by `desc`.

See also: edt_startdma_action(), edt_enddma_action() for an example.

◆ edt_enddma_reg()

void edt_enddma_reg	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		uint_t	desc,
		uint_t	val
	)

Sets the register and value to use at the end of dma, as set by edt_enddma_action().

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
desc	Register description of which register to use as in edtreg.h.
val	Value to write to register described by `desc`.

See also: edt_enddma_action() for an example.

◆ edt_startdma_action()

void edt_startdma_action	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		uint_t	val
	)

Specifies when to perform the action at the start of a DMA transfer as specified by edt_startdma_reg().

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
val	One of `EDT_ACT_NEVER`, `EDT_ACT_ONCE`, or `EDT_ACT_ALWAYS`.

A common use of this is to write a register which signals an external device that DMA has started, to trigger the device to start sending. The default is no DMA action.

The PDV library uses this function to send a trigger to a camera at the start of DMA. This function allows the register write to occur in a critical section with the start of DMA and at the same time.

Example:

edt_startdma_action(edt_p, EDT_ACT_ALWAYS);

edt_startdma_reg(edt_p, PDV_CMD, PDV_ENABLE_GRAB);

◆ edt_enddma_action()

void edt_enddma_action	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		uint_t	val
	)

Specifies when to perform the action at the end of a DMA transfer as specified by edt_enddma_reg().

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
val	One of `EDT_ACT_NEVER`, `EDT_ACT_ONCE`, or `EDT_ACT_ALWAYS`.

A common use of this is to write to a register which signals an external device that DMA is complete, or to change the state of a signal which will be changed at the start of DMA, so the external device can look for an edge. The default is no end of DMA action.

Most applications can set the output signal, if needed, from the application with edt_reg_write(). This routine is only needed if the action must happen within microseconds of the end of DMA.

Example:

u_int fnct_value = 0x1;
edt_enddma_action(edt_p, EDT_ACT_ALWAYS);
edt_enddma_reg(edt_p, PCD_FUNCT, fnct_value);

◆ edt_do_timeout()

int edt_do_timeout ( EdtDev edt_p )

Cause the driver to perform the same actions as it would on a timeout. Partially filled FIFOs will be flushed and DMA will be aborted.

Parameters

edt_p The open EDT device handle.

Returns: 0 on success; -1 on failure

Used when the application has knowledge that no more data will be sent/accepted. Used when a common timeout cannot be known, such as when acquiring (image) data from a telescope CCD array where the amount of data sent depends on unknown future celestial events. Also used by the library when the operating system can not otherwise wait for an interrupt and timeout at the same time.

Returns: Number 0-31 representing the number of good bits in the last 32-bit word of the current read buffer. 0 on failure.

◆ edt_set_event_func()

int edt_set_event_func	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		enum edt_kernel_event	event_type,
		EdtEventFunc	func,
		void *	data,
		int	continuous
	)

Define a function to call when an event occurs.

Use this routine to send an application-specific function when required; for example, when DMA completes, allowing the application to continue executing until the event of interest occurs.

If you wish to receive notification of one event only, and then disable further event notification, send a final argument of 0 (see the continue parameter described below). This disables event notification at the time of the callback to your function.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
event_type	The event that causes the function to be called.
func	The function to call when the event occurs.
data	Data to pass to the `func` function; usually `edt_p`.
continuous	Flag to enable or disable continued event notification. A value of 0 causes edt_remove_event_func() to be called as the event is triggered.

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure.

◆ edt_remove_event_func()

int edt_remove_event_func	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		enum edt_kernel_event	event_type
	)

Remove an event function previously set with edt_set_event_func().

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
event_type	The event that causes the function to be called. Valid events are listed in edt_set_event_func().

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure.

◆ edt_ring_buffer_overrun()

int edt_ring_buffer_overrun ( EdtDev edt_p )

Determine if DMA has written to more buffers in the ring than user space code has "waited" (edt_wait_for_buffers()) for. Indicates user space code cannot keep up with the DMA transfer rate.

Parameters

edt_p The open EDT device handle.

Returns: 1 (true) when overrun has occurred, 0 (false) otherwise.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ edt_set_burst_enable()

int edt_set_burst_enable	(	EdtDev	edt_p,
		int	onoff
	)

Set the burst enable flag, determining whether the DMA master transfers as many words as possible at once, or transfers them one at a time as soon as the data is acquired.

Parameters

edt_p	The open EDT device handle.
enable	A value of 1 turns the flag on (the default); 0 turns it off.

Returns: 0 if successful.

Burst transfers are enabled by default to optimize use of the bus; however, you may wish to disable them if data latency is an issue, or for diagnosing DMA problems.

◆ edt_get_burst_enable()

int edt_get_burst_enable ( EdtDev edt_p )

Get the value of the burst enable flag.

See also: edt_set_burst_enable()

Parameters

edt_p The open EDT device handle.
