use off AINSER slow down SD-Card Access

Hei

I have some SPI problems here... A AINSER slows down the SD-Card Access - so the programm is not usable anymore.

I already optimized the Ainser-Side (see below), but that is not enough, I dont know if it is the prescaler Factor, that also changes SD-Card in a way (since booth are SPI...)

I save a lot off informations on the SD-Card, so each percent off performance makes seconds off less waiting time.

 Is there something like a prescaler that can be set for the SD-Card?=

How give the SD-Card more priority? I know how to give prioritys for RTOS Task that i created, but i dont know how to do that with SD-Card (on rootlevel)

 

thx for any info!

 

 

I have 2 AINSER8 moduels connected to a STM32F4(disconver), not multiplexed - i have 16 faders connected directly to them.
as soon i scan the AINSER:

static void TASK_AINSER_Scan(void *pvParameters){	// This task scans AINSER pins and checks for updates

  portTickType xLastExecutionTime;
  xLastExecutionTime = xTaskGetTickCount();

  while( 1 ) {
    vTaskDelayUntil(&xLastExecutionTime, 10 / portTICK_RATE_MS);	// 202 orginally 1ms
	
			// scan pins
			AINSER_Handler(APP_AINSER_NotifyChange);
			}
}

 

The Write or Read on the SD-Card goes up from 1seconds to 14seconds (in my case)

so i copied the ainser.c to my project, and made some edits, the most significant emprovement was to change the prescaler from 64 to 8:

// init SPI port for fast frequency access
MIOS32_SPI_TransferModeInit(2, MIOS32_SPI_MODE_CLK0_PHASE0, MIOS32_SPI_PRESCALER_8); // Initialisierung des SPI-Ports

i also tryd other values, but on some values the Ainser didnt react at all, or i got random values.

When i remove this Prescaler LINE, the AINSER gives no output to my code, what makes me a bit wondering since in MIOS-FUNCTIONS there is statet:

J19 provides two RCLK (alias Chip Select) lines.
It's a software emulated SPI, therefore the selected spi_prescaler has no effect! Bytes are transfered so fast as possible. The usage of MIOS32_SPI_PIN_DRIVER_STRONG is strongly recommented ;)
DMA transfers are not supported by the emulation, so that MIOS32_SPI_TransferBlock() will consume CPU time (but the callback handling does work).

So my expirience - the Prescale may not have a effect on SPI2, but on SPI0 (where my SD-Card is connected).

 

I also changed to get this Prescaler8 working, The driver from MIOS32_SPI_PIN_DRIVER_STRONG    to     MIOS32_SPI_PIN_DRIVER_WEAK (which is i know not recommented):

// pins in push-poll mode (3.3V output voltage)
MIOS32_SPI_IO_Init(2, MIOS32_SPI_PIN_DRIVER_WEAK);	// 2: Ainser_SPI - J19


i then tryed to remove the Multiplexer Code, and fixed the modules to a count off 2,
At the end i have 4 seconds Access Time to my SD Card

which was without AINSerial 1second

And without my modifications 14 seconds

 

I already set the priority off Tasks like this:

// TASK   - PRIORITYS
#define PRIORITY_TASK_SEQ	( tskIDLE_PRIORITY + 5 ) // higher priority than MIDI receive task!
#define PRIORITY_SD			( tskIDLE_PRIORITY + 3 )
#define PRIORITY_LOPRIO		( tskIDLE_PRIORITY + 2 )
#define PRIORITY_LCD		( tskIDLE_PRIORITY + 0 ) // idle
#define PRIORITY_PAD		( tskIDLE_PRIORITY + 0 ) // idle
#define PRIORITY_TASK_AINSER_SCAN ( tskIDLE_PRIORITY + 0 )	// orginal this was 3

So the SD-Task (where i write things on the SD-Card with mutexes and stuff...) is already High priority > off course the SEQuencer is higher...

 


the whole Ainser.c code then looked like this:

#include <mios32.h>
#include "ainser.h"

i use to write to SD-card directly with File.c, like this:

                                    // Speicherung der Daten auf der SD-Karte
 
                                    MUTEX_SDCARD_TAKE;
                                        FILE_WriteOpen    ("0.p4", 8);
                                        FILE_WriteBuffer(buffer2, sizeof(buffer2));
                                        FILE_WriteClose();
                                    MUTEX_SDCARD_GIVE;
