TWI - Easy DMA

[Roei]

Hi,

I have some troubles using TWI easy DMA. I set EASY_DMA flag to 1, but I can't see any results in my performance tests. Can anyone explain me the required steps?

Thanks!

Hi Roei,

If you look at the TWI sensor example you can see that the:

// <q> TWI0_USE_EASY_DMA  - Use EasyDMA (if present)
 

#ifndef TWI0_USE_EASY_DMA
#define TWI0_USE_EASY_DMA 1
#endif

is set. Please use that example as reference on how you can use eDMA with TWI.

Hi Martin,

Thank you! I tried to work by the example, but I didn't see any performance changes. Do I have a way to see if Easy DMA is now activated?

Thanks!

Hi Roei,

How are you measuring performance?

Also please check out this thread.

Hi Martin,

I'm measuring the max running time of a task which sends buffers through twi interface. It takes too long (2-3 milliseconds). I got the same results after using easy DMA. I'm not sure I did the right things.

Thanks
