altera_avalon_fifo_write_ienable IE_ALMOSTFULL

[andy25]

Hi all.

In my Nios V code, I'm trying to use:
status = altera_avalon_fifo_write_ienable(IPMB_0_FIFO_IN_CSR_BASE, IE_FULL | IE_ALMOSTFULL);

I'm guessing the IE_FULL and IE_ALMOSTFULL are the masks I want, but they don't seem to be defined anywhere.

E_FULL and E_ALMOSTFULL are also not defined.

Am I missing a header?  Or is this just a constant I create for myself?

Thanks

Hi,

Here are the descriptions:

IE_FULL Enables an interrupt if the FIFO is currently full. 0 IE_EMPTY Enables an interrupt if the FIFO is currently empty.

IE_ALMOSTFULL Enables an interrupt if the fill level of the FIFO is greater than the value of the almostfull register.

No, you don't understand.

I obviously read the documentation and that's where I got the names IE_FULL, etc.

Then I wrote some C code:

status = altera_avalon_fifo_write_ienable(IPMB_0_FIFO_IN_CSR_BASE, IE_FULL | IE_ALMOSTFULL);

And tried to compile it, and it errors saying IE_FULL (and friends) are not defined.

grepping the hal_bsp directory reveals those names are not defined anywhere.

But that was 5 days ago.

The correct answer is:

#include "altera_avalon_fifo_regs.h"

Use:

ALTERA_AVALON_FIFO_IENABLE_F_MSK

ALTERA_AVALON_FIFO_IENABLE_AF_MSK

etc.

But the real real correct answer is:

You cant call altera_avalon_fifo_write_ienable() function after altera_avalon_fifo_init().  Instead, pass the ienable flags you want as the second parameter of altera_avalon_fifo_init().

Hi Andy,

My apologies, yes you are right, so it should be define as you mentioned, below in the "include" tab:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683130/23-4/altera-avalon-fifo-write-ienable.html

You could also use RiscFree if you like to check the current defined variables values by setting breakpoints and see the debug/registers/modules tab etc.:
