Subject: [Icc-430] Reading MSP-430 status register from C....
Message-ID: <1210027504.481f8df0f36e7@www.paradise.net.nz>

If somebody is working on the %<name> asm statement mechanism, is it possible to
have the mechanism extended to fields in structs (and maybe array elements
indexed by constant expressions if you're keen :-) ?

We have a message structure where a number of fields need to be byte reversed
for the CPU, and we have to use constructs like :
	asm("swpb %new_timings+4");
rather than
	asm("swpb %new_timings.leader");
with the risk of mis-calculating a field offset.

There was mention in the archives of a byte swap intrinsic not being needed as
an x=(x<<8)|(x>>8) construct would be automatically compiled to a swpb.
This does happen for register variables, but trying to do it to a global
variable results in 4 instructions using 2 temporary registers (using a + rather
than a | results in 8 instructions).

Subject: [Icc-430] Assembly Module
Message-ID: <1210032193.481fa041ed299@www.paradise.net.nz>

Bill Garmer asked :
Is there an include file I should be using in an assembly module to
define the register names?  It is a bear to have to type in the address
each time.

If all you want is the register names and addresses, you can fairly quickly
process the .h file for your chip from the ICC430 include directory.
1) grep for volatile to a new file which will give lines like :
   #define MAC                (*(volatile  unsigned int *)  (0x0134)  )
2) globally edit out the leading "#define "
3) globally edit out the trailing ")<spaces>)"
   regexp \) +\)
4) globally change the bit in the middle from "(<anything>x" to " = 0x"
   regexp \(.+x

and you're there. It could probably be done with a single SED line but my SED is
rusty :-)
Processing the register bit definitions is a bit harder.
NoICE has a preprocessor called Msp430equates.exe which generates a .noi file of
register names and addresses - this also needs similar manipulation afterwards
but is slightly easier if your editor doesn't do regular expressions.

Message-ID: <1210222975.4822897f32ed7@www.paradise.net.nz>

Kris and I have installed V7.08 beta0 (in separate directories from our working
version), but when executed a dialog appears saying "The procedure entry point
HIL_sbw_ExecuteFuseBlow could not be located in the dynamic link library
HIL.dll." three times, then one saying "Cannot find import; DLL may be missing,
corrupt, or wrong version File "MSP430.dll", error 127".

There appears to be a mismatch between the TI MSP430.dll and the NoIce HIL.dll.
I have used the Dependency Walker from SysInternals to check the DLLs.

The TI version of HIL.dll (V1.2.2) used in the V7.06A release publishes this
entry point (as a do-nothing, I think), although the TI-supplied MSP430.dll
V2.1.10 doesn't refer to it.
The NoIce430 9.0 version of HIL.dll (V9.0.0.1900), which doesn't publish this
entry point, is used in V7.07A beta, with MSP430.dll V2.3.1 which doesn't call
the problem child either.
Now V7.08beta is packaged with TI's MSP430.dll V2.3.4 which makes the reference
but the target isn't there in the NoIce HIL.dll file.
I see that NoIce V9.0 itself comes with MSP430.dll V2.1.10.

Copying MSP430.dll V2.1.10 from NoIce to the ICC430 bin directory seems to
resolve the issue for us.

I reported that when Richard first posted the update, haven't heard 
back as to a fix yet.

In the good news category, I'm able to run code in the new 'F2410 and 
'F2417 parts, even NoICE works (even when using the LPM modes!).

I see the MSP430F2417 has a messed up stack pointer.  I presume for

I'd check that the assembler wasn't going to do anything extra to try 
to fix it.

Message-ID: <200805120841.m4C8f3K2064723@mail.imagecraft.com>

ICCV7 for MSP430, V7.08 has been released. From the readme file:

V7.08 - May 12th, 2008
   [ Removed the rarely if ever used RCS interface. Note: ICC no longer
     uses any GPL utilities. ]

   [ TI DLL and header files ]
     - V2.03.4 of the TI MSP430.DLL with support for MSP430Xv2 chips
     - new header files for MSP430F54x (msp430x54x.h) and
       MSP430FE42x2 (msp430xE42x2.h)
   IDE
     - Minor terminal function enhancements.
     - Added Project->Options->Project->"Makefile Options" of two choices
       "Relative Paths" or "Absolute Paths"
     - fixed the problem with "NoICE" button sometimes being squashed.

   Compiler
     - Added the following INTRINSIC functions:
       int GET_SR(void), GET_SR_IRQ(void);
       void PUT_SR(int), PUT_SR_IRQ(int);

       for accessing the SR status register in a normal function and
       interrupt handler.
     - Added NOP after the initial DINT for monitor functions.
     - In the code fragment:
        long *dst, *src; ... *dst++ = *src++;
      if src (which must be a "long *") did not get allocated to a
      register, incorrect code might result.
    - Fixed a bug where under some conditions, the use of LPMx macros might
      cause stack inbalance especially when it is followed by complex
      floating point expressions.
    - XOR was broken for one specific code pattern due to a typo:

        extern short a, b;
        ...
        b = a ^ b;
      generated incorrect code

  Library
    - Fixed a bug where strncpy incorrect zeroed out the SRC string if the
      count argument is shorter than the src string.

Mine's still squashed, only about half visible, but I'm used to it. ;-)

The newest release was loaded over the existing, prior, one without an 
intermediate uninstallation, so maybe there's something left over in the 
registry?

Since these aren't documented in the online help yet,
this is what they do:

   _GET_SR() returns the current status register value;
   _SET_SR() sets the status register from a 16-bit parameter;
   _GET_SR_IRQ() returns the status register value from the
     stack, i.e. the value of the status register before the
     interrupt was accepted;
   _SET_SR_IRQ() sets the stacked status register value.

I think they need the leading underscore in the names,
as shown above.

When I used these intrinsics, the compiler warned me that
"calling a function without a prototype may cause runtime
errors". They aren't prototyped in any include file, but
that may be normal for intrinsics.

I'm also now having trouble with include files failing to
be included. My project specifies the include file paths as
   c:\fw\inc;c:\fw\libmsp\dev
I have a file
   c:\fw\inc\rosiedef.h
which is included correctly, but it contains the line
   #include "netdef.h"
which should find the file
   "c:\fw\inc\netdef.h"
but instead I get the error
   "!E c:\fw\inc\rosiedef.h(80): cannot include source
    file "netdef.h"; invalid file name"
This error appears _before_ the line
"C:\iccv7430\bin\imakew -f ROSIE.mak"

Also I can't add that file to the Header Files
list in the project - I can select it in the file
selection dialog but it doesn't appear in the list
and no error is raised. I can add other files in
the same directory, but not that one. It is
read-only but so are all the others.

I also still have the clipped NoIce toolbar button.
My screen resolution is 1600x1200 but the button is
clipped even if I resize the icc430 window to less
than 640x480.

Regards

Kris

I found the problem. It has to be with the new relative path support 
added in icppw.exe. I will have the developer fix it.

Oh of course this problem disappears if you select

1400 x 1050 here. XP Pro with XP-style frames/buttons and "normal" font 
size for Windows objects. The height is okay but the width cuts off 
about in the middle of the 'o' in "No". 96 dpi, HP notebook screen.

And just for another data point, I was working on a project with the 
previous release and rolled right into the current one with no 
path-related difficulties at all. Just did the usual precautionary 
rebuild all and kept on grinding ...

2*1280*1024 (side-by-side dual screen) - works on either screen.
XP Pro SP2, classic view, normal font size.

Also truncated on another machine with Win2k SP4, 1024*768, small fonts.

While messing about this morning, opening and closing the IDE many times while
fiddling with settings, I have seen the NoIce button the correct size once, but
it was truncated the next time and I have no idea how I got there :-(

I have also noted that the IDE project pane gets smaller each time (and V7.06A
does this too!). The registry value
HKCU\Software\ImageCraft\ICCV7 for 430\mainform\project_window_width
decreases by 8 each time the IDE is closed.

A hint for what it's worth:
I recently ran an application (not Icc430) on a customer PC and the buttons 
in one window were invisible. On my PC same app. looked ok.
It turned out the customer PC was set to 120 dpi screen resolution. When 
he changed to 96 dpi the buttons showed up.

Strange.  Playing with the resolution usually has the
opposite effect.

Aha! That does make a difference. I went into the advanced properties 
setting for the display -- hadn't bothered to before -- and increased 
the dpi from the default 96 up to 120.

In addition to everything on-screen getting much larger (not sure if I 
like that or not) now the NoIce button shows up correctly in V7-430. Did 
I mention that it was always (and is still) correctly displayed in 
V7-ARM, before and after the dpi change?

A customer inquires about flash write routine. Surely one of you have 
one "in your back pocket?" Can you please send a copy to me?

I can't recreate the problem case so I am having some difficulties 
testing it, but for the people that have problems, can you please grab

http://www.dragonsgate.net/pub/BETAS/icppw.exe and put that in your 
7.08 c:\iccv7430\bin directory and test it? Please let me know how it 
works. Thanks.

On first test seems to work fine here.

ICC430 on a Windows XP system and the working directory is on a 
Ubuntu system with Windows Networking.
