Software Notes

  • Control Files
    • Murium Wins Src
    • Src:
      • commands.c: includes the commands.h header file which is located right below it on the list of files. These are a bunch of hook definitions. The first few seem to be user defined code.
        • There is one that is incomplete: DR_GetStatus.
        • The two functions below that (Clear feature and set feature) are simply defined as return true, this could be a problem, i'm guessing the function definition should be more than just that.
        • DR_VendorCmnd: what is the array SetUpDat and where is it defined? What is being stored in it becuase the only things mentioned in the comments are only relevent for SetUpDat[2 and 3]. The function is a switch structure based off of the value in SETUPDAT[1]
      • commands.h: defines all the variables that are used in commands.c but none of the functions are prototyped here. Do they need to be prototyped? no files are included
      • eeprom_init.c: includes usrp_commons.h, usrp_commands.h, and spi.h
        • write_byte_msb takes in unsigned char v and circular shifts it 8 times each time outputting the msb
        • eeprom_init configures the IO ports
      • eeprom_io.c: includes eeprom_io.h, i2c.h, delay.h. and has a read and write function defined within it
      • eeprom_io.h: prototypes the two functions used in eeprom_io.c
      • error_no.h: defines a lot of errors
      • fpga.c: includes noisegen_regs.h, error_no.h, fpga.h
        • possible typo: ConfigSatate
        • fpga_done only has a return true definition, perhaps more code is required
      • fpga.h: defines the states of the xilinx state machine. prototypes the functions used in fpga.c
      • fpga_specific.c: include fpga_specific.h
        • return types are all false on these functions
        • functions to read and write various configuration bits and send rf data
      • fpga_specific.h: defines the ports used but doesn't prototype the functions used in fpga_specific.c
      • gpif.c: configures the general purpose interface for fx2, most of code has do not edit warnings
        • gpifinit function is added after a line that says "you may add additional code below"
        • all the do not edit sections have been commented out
      • init_gpif.c: include usrp_common.h
        • some very strange comments in this file, not sure if they are alerting to current problems or ones that were already addressed previously
      • led.c: includes fx2regs.h, noisegen_regs.h, led.h
        • all functions (except for the switch) return 0
        • not entirely sure what the switch structure is trying to accomplish, nor what the error blink fnc above it is doing
      • led.h: defines the cases for the switch and also all the functions used in led.c
    • Yuriy Loses and gets Lib
    • Lib: Missing Delay.h, fx2regs.h, fx2utils.h, syncdelay.h
      • delay.c: Contains Microsecond and Millisecond delays, 1 Bus Cycle = 4 Clock Cycles, mdelay function is not accurate, must be tuned
      • fx2utils.c: USB functionality, delay tuned
      • i2c-compiler-bug.c: Identical to i2c.c except for commented line
      • i2c.c: Seems complete, no fixes commented
      • isr.c: Seems complete, no fixes commented, has sv,uv, and fgv hooks
      • timer.c: Called at 100Hz, resets RCAP2?, calls hook sv, no fixes commented
      • usb_common.c: Needs changes and clarification, usb alt settings for interface may need changing
  • Firmware Files
  • Driver Files
    • Windows
      • boardcommands.h: Defines commands that allow the user to adjust the operation of the device
      • cyapi.h: Standard file, defines an api to interface with a cypress usb device
      • mainform.h: Interface to noisegen program, requires additions to constructor code although form seems completely drawn
      • noiseboard.cpp: Code to manage board behavior, update fpga
      • noisegenerator.cpp: Top-level, launches mainform to start program
      • registerformentry.h: Not sure what this is, may need to change the way register coordinates are calculated
      • Other files in this directory are either auto-generated by Visual C++ or merely include/define things for other files
