PRU IEP timers non-responsive

[Fred Frey]

Hello

I'm trying to write a simple program to test the IEP timers. Ideally I'd like to be able to poll the timer and get an unsigned long value back, but for this test, I followed what I read in this post:

https://www.element14.com/community/community/designcenter/single-board-computers/next-genbeaglebone/blog/2019/08/12/beaglebone-pru-timer-functionality

With a few minor changes -- I provide a different GPIO pin, made it loop forever, and made the frequency for the square wave ~2kHz.

I also have a different way of configuring the IEP/INTC. I manually defined the addresses:

#define IEP_HOME                        ((volatile unsigned long*)0x2E000)

#define TMR_GLOBAL_CFG         (*(IEP_HOME+0x00))

#define TMR_GLOBAL_STATUS   (*(IEP_HOME+0x04))

#define TMR_COMPEN                 (*(IEP_HOME+0x08))

#define TMR_COUNT                    (*(IEP_HOME+0x0C))

#define TMR_CMP0                       (*(IEP_HOME+0x48))

#define TMR_CMP_STATUS         (*(IEP_HOME+0x44))

#define TMR_CMP_CFG               (*(IEP_HOME+0x40))

...

#define INTC_HOME           ((volatile unsigned long*)(0x20000))

#define INTC_SECR0          (*(INTC_HOME+0x280))

#define INTC_SECR1          (*(INTC_HOME+0x284))

And I configured them like so:

    TMR_GLOBAL_CFG &= 0xfffffffe; // disable timer

    TMR_COUNT = 0x0; // reset timer

    TMR_CMP_STATUS = 0xff; // clear compare status

    TMR_CMP0 = 100000; // 0.0025 SEC @ 200 MHz

    TMR_COMPEN &= 0xff000000;  // set compensation to 0

    TMR_CMP_CFG &= 0x03; // enable cmp0 and reset on event

    INTC_SECR0 = 0xffffffff;

    INTC_SECR1 = 0xffffffff;

    TMR_GLOBAL_CFG = 0x11; // enable counter

When I read from TMR_COUNT, it's always 0, and the interrupt never fires. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Fred

Ok I figured it out lol. 

I was adding the actual byte-size offsets to pointers to longs, so it was being offset by 4x as much as I would have expected.

The program works fine otherwise.
