Hello group,
I cannot understand of how the XCHG PRU instruction works (or cannot make it working as expected).
I expect that “XCHG 10, r1, 4” should exchange the contents of r1 with the scratch pad bank0.r1, 4 bytes: put r1 contents there, and get S-pad data, simultaneously.
However I see the XCHG behaviour exactly the same as the XIN instruction, that is scratchpad is being read OK, but nothing is written to the scratchpad.
The code:
mov r1, 0x01
XOUT 10, r1, 4 // init the S-pad to value of 0x01
mov r1, 0x02
XCHG 10, r1, 4 // Make S-pad=0x02, r1 = 0x01
SBCO r1, C24, 0x00, 4 // r1 → RAM<0…3>, and I see the RAM0 = 0x01 - OK
mov r1, 0x03
XCHG 10, r1, 4 // Make S-pad=0x03, r1 = 0x02
SBCO r1, C24, 0x04, 4 // r1 → RAM<4…7>, but I see the RAM4 = 0x01 - BAD! Should be 0x02
Could somebody please confirm that XCHG instruction works, or does not work, or how to make it exchanging the data reg<->scratchpad?
(no register shifting used: PRUCFG.SPP=0)
Thanks!
