EPCS processing - help please

Altera_Forum · ‎07-05-2005

I have a system where epcs save HW+SW so my nios is working fine (programm stars - no problem)

but i can't get access to epcs - because alt_avalon_spi_comman hangs during processing

I use HAL

Give me please working example for it or correct my code.

I don't understand what i do wrong.

switch(getchar())

{

case 's': case 'S':

fram();

break;

case 'e' : case 'E':

printf("n\reading status of epcs");

printf("n\nstatus: %x",epcs_read_status_register(EPCS_CONTROLLER_BASE));

default:

continue;

}

I solve all problems .

I have in my board

SPI real time clock

2x SPI FRAM

All of them i connect to EPCS SPI bus

And i work with all devices using epcs controller core

I find in sources of EPCS controller that EPCS controller use standart SPI routines

but all of them where not work

after this

if look into epcs_controller.v and find this strings

assign epcs_select = chipselect && (address[8] ); // activation of epcs data

assign readdata = epcs_select ? data_to_cpu : rom_readdata; \\ switch between BOOT ROM data and epcs data

sofware for SPI was next # define IORD_ALTERA_AVALON_SPI_RXDATA(base) IORD(base, 0x00)

address[8] - is zero !!!!!!!!!!

and i fix it in all strings like this # define IORD_ALTERA_AVALON_SPI_RXDATA(base) IORD(base, 0x100)

And now all work just fine !
