Posted on September 23, 2014 at 15:43What is the max SPC56 (SPC560B54L3) UART baud rate ? Thanks,   Stuart

Posted on September 16, 2014 at 16:03Hello, I would like to do some mathematical calulations like square root, sin, cos,... with the SPC560D. Does ST provide any libraries for that purpose which I can include in my SPC5 project? Best regards, Patrik

Posted on September 13, 2014 at 20:39Hi,I have tried to compile an example with the SPC5Studio Wizard and get the following errors: 20:36:34 **** Incremental Build of configuration Default for project ChibiOS-RT SPC56ELxx Test Application for DiscoveryPlus **** make -j4 all       0 [main] sh 1656 sync_with_child: child 3980(0x188) died before initialization with status code 0xC0000142      14 [main] sh 1656 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp /bin/sh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable Compiling boot.s Compiling crt0.s Compiling ivor.s Compiling vectors.s C:/SPC5Studio/eclipse/plugins/com.st.tools.spc5.components.platform.spc56elxx_1.0.0.201409031447/component/lib/src/boot.s:26:0: fatal error: opening dependency file .dep/boot.o.d: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: *** [build/obj/boot.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Posted on September 09, 2014 at 14:31Hello, Unfortunately, a few moments before I found out that I lost all changes I had manually done within the CAN low level drivers (changins in number of RX message buffers, filters, filter IDs, filter masks, ...). Just everything which I was not able to configure by using the SPC5 Application Configuration. I only wanted to change the compliler optimization level. Is there a way, how I can prevent several files from beeing new generated or cleared when I generate the application configuration? Or what is the best way when I wanted to adapt a project (for example using DSPI) without loosing all changes in the other HAL components? Best regards, Patrik

Posted on September 03, 2014 at 16:46Hello, on SPC56EL60, I'm using an external 16MHz XTAL so I changed the ''XOSC Clock'' value in the configuration (default is 40MHz). I'm getting the error: ''SPC5_FMPLL0_VCO_CLK outside acceptable range (SPC5_FMPLLVCO_MIN...SPC5_FMPLLVCO_MAX)'' To solve this I have to modify SPC5_FMPLL0_IDF_VALUE and SPC5_FMPLL0_NDIV_VALUE value's that are used to calculate SPC5_FMPLL0_VCO_CLK. These defines are code generated and I can't find them in the application config. Can you please explain how the setup the clock peripheral and keep the overide values unchanged while regenerating code? Thank you

Posted on August 27, 2014 at 11:25Hello, I tried to use the FMPLL as system clock, but I get a behaviour which I did not expect. As software basis, I used the test application for the SPC56xL discovery board. When I understand the clock configuration in the right way, this project runs with the 16MHz internal RC. I found the configuration in the file hal_lld.h, all modes are using the internal RC for example here:/** * @brief DRUN mode settings. */ #if !defined(SPC5_ME_DRUN_MC_BITS) || defined(__DOXYGEN__) #define SPC5_ME_DRUN_MC_BITS (SPC5_ME_MC_SYSCLK_IRC | \ SPC5_ME_MC_IRCON | \ SPC5_ME_MC_XOSC0ON | \ SPC5_ME_MC_PLL0ON | \ SPC5_ME_MC_PLL1ON | \ SPC5_ME_MC_FLAON_NORMAL | \ SPC5_ME_MC_MVRON) #endif /** * @brief RUN0 mode settings. */ #if !defined(SPC5_ME_RUN0_MC_BITS) || defined(__DOXYGEN__) #define SPC5_ME_RUN0_MC_BITS (SPC5_ME_MC_SYSCLK_IRC | \ SPC5_ME_MC_IRCON | \ SPC5_ME_MC_XOSC0ON | \ SPC5_ME_MC_PLL0ON | \ SPC5_ME_MC_PLL1ON | \ SPC5_ME_MC_FLAON_NORMAL | \

Posted on August 08, 2014 at 11:41 Hi community, I am having trouble using the sprintf function to convert a variable into a string. It compiles just fine if I do char string[11]; sprintf(string, ''23''); And I can see the numer 23 in ''string'' while debugging. But just using a variable instead of the number, like int data = 23; sprintf(string, data); throws these errors: undefined reference to `__HEAP_END' SPC563Mxx OS-Less Test Application line 37, external location: \data\distribution\free-entry-toolchain-v4.6.2.1\gcc-4.6.x\libhtcos\ppc-vle\libos_sbrk.c C/C++ Problem undefined reference to `__HEAP' SPC563Mxx OS-Less Test Application line 0, external location: c:\spc5studio\eclipse\plugins\com.st.tools.spc5.tools.hightec_1.0.0.201306281422\hightec\ppc-ht-eabi\lib\vle\libos.a(libos_sbrk.o) C/C++ Problem undefined reference to `__HEAP' SPC563Mxx OS-Less Test Application line 42, external location: \data\distribution\free-entry-toolchain-v4.6.2.1\gcc-4.6

Posted on August 14, 2014 at 12:51Hello, I am using the iC5000 from iSYSTEM for programming and debugging. ISYSTEM provides a winIDEA plugin for Eclipse. Does anybody know if this plugin is supported by SPC5 Studio? Or has anyone even tested the plugin with the SPC5 Studio? Best regards, Patrik

Posted on July 27, 2014 at 10:01Hello, This question is propably really basic, but I hope to get any advice, a link to a tutorial or even a sample code which helps me to solve my problem. I am really new in this buisness. The possibilities of the SPC56 controller familiy are huge but as a beginner their complexity confuses me. My setting is a SPC56xL Discovery Kit and the SPC5 Studio in combination with the High Tec C compiler. What I want to do is normally very simple. One of the LEDs (e.g. LED D5 on Pin A0) should be controlled by the button S2 on Pin G8. Therefore, my idea was to use an interrupt triggered by the button S2. I set up a small project, using the OSAL-HAL component. But I really have no idea how and where i should implement this functionality in my C code. All what I have done so far is configuring an interrupt vector, but I am even not sure if i did this in the correct way. The main questions for me are: -) What is the correct way to configure an interrupt vector? -)

Posted on August 04, 2014 at 17:22Are there any example projects for the SPC564A on the SPC56xxMB EVAL board that show how to use external RAM?If not complete projects, any code snippets or even hints or advice?ThanksKevin

Posted on July 31, 2014 at 10:13Hello, Are any FlexRay available for SPC56 devices? Thanks 

Posted on July 30, 2014 at 04:54I've compiled some code & I have .bin/.dmp/.elf/.hex/.map files. How do I program/flash whichever I need to flash into spc563M-disp board? I do have a PLS device, the driver and UDE Desktop installed. While AN4425 promises ''The document UM1602 (see Reference documents) is focused to describe and to understand how to use SPC5studio and how to create, build and debug a project.'', I do not see the word ''debug'' mentioned in UM1602 SPC5 Studio users guide even once, but maybe I am doing something wrong. Please advice.

Posted on July 24, 2014 at 12:44Hello, I installed SPC5 Studio and everything works fine and then after a view hours of working, i can´t build my project any more. I am always getting following error and i don´t know why: make -j4 all Cannot run program ''make'': Launching failed 12:30:14 Build Finished (took 47ms) I did not change anything in the settings, just using the SPC5 Studio as it is configured after the installation. But this error seems to come up randomly after a while. So i re-installed SPC-Studio several times. After the installation it worked again and I was able to build my projects. But during working on my code a get the same error again and again after a while. What could be the reason for that error upcoming randomly? I am using the 30days evaluation license from High-Tec.

Posted on July 10, 2014 at 14:34Hello, I want to use canReceive and specify the mailbox to read (do not use CAN_ANY_MAILBOX). Example: if I want to check the first mailbox, I use:canReceive(can1.canp, 1, &rxmsg, TIME_IMMEDIATE) == MSG_OK canReceive first checks if the buffer received data using the can_lld_is_rx_nonempty function. If you give the mailbox number 1 to this function, it checks the mailbox 0 (BUF[0]). The problem is that next to this check, the function can_lld_receive will access the second mailbox (BUF[1]). To fix this, I suggest to define CAN_ANY_MAILBOX to 0xFF and change the switch values in can_lld_is_rx_nonempty from 1-8 to 0-7. My target is SPC56EL60 but it applies to all families and I use SPC5 Studio. Is it a bug or I missed something? I can't update SPC5 Studio at the moment, this bug is maybe already fixed. EDIT: using CAN_ANY_MAILBOX make these 2 functions searching through all mailboxes. In my example they both found that the first mailbo

Posted on July 15, 2014 at 21:38I have a project that requires an IO pin to switch between High Z (Tri-State) and High. On a previous 8 bit micro the high z condition was satisfied by setting the port to an input and the high was satisfied by making the port and output and driving it high.I am using the Hal drivers for non-OS and am strugglinig to find the commands to do this. I tried doing the following with o results:// Set Charge to Output and Set HighpalSetPadMode(PORT_B, CHARGE, PAL_MODE_OUTPUT_PUSHPULL);palSetPad(PORT_B, CHARGE);        // Delay 5us//osalThreadSleepMicroseconds(CHARGE_WAIT);osalThreadSleepMicroseconds(50000);        // Set Charge to Input and set to high zpalSetPadMode(PORT_B, CHARGE, PAL_MODE_INPUT);I played with different delay lengths thinking the scope missed it.Please let me know if you have any ideas.Doug #spc56

Posted on July 07, 2014 at 17:51Hi, I hope this error is common for Eclipse users... Directly after installing SPC5 Studio V3 and setting up the one-year licence, I'm able to get all SPC56EL60L5 examples from the SPC5 Studio Wizard working (on the board, CAN not in loop mode, ADC...). But it seems that I click somewhere I should not because it always ends after some time (PC reboot, app restart...) with the below compiler errors. My target is SPC56EL60L5. I also noticed that the Wizard is not available anymore (File->New and toolbars). It sometimes compiles again after reboot, or combinaison of clear project/generate/build... I can't get it... The make command in a DOS window returned the error ''libintl3.dll is missing'' so I installed it. Now the command ''make --version'' gives: GNU Make 3.81 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.

Posted on June 01, 2014 at 08:06Is SPC5 Studio V3 available? Based on http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF255702 it would indicate V3.0 is available, but download from SP store is V2.0, files dated 12/10.2013. What new features are planed for V3.0?

Posted on May 27, 2014 at 10:43Hi, I downloaded example software SPC56EL and successfully imported all of them but then i can't get them compiled. I don't know how to set current toolchain and current builder, keeps giving me make error about object files.Thanks for the help!!

Posted on May 23, 2014 at 19:21Can anybody offer any knowledge of using STANDBY mode?  I am putting the chip in STANDBY and it appears to go there, as the processor goes dormant until I cause a wakeup event.  But the current draw on the VDD_LV power-input (2.1v) is ridiculously high (~100ma).   I've confirmed that the power is not going out the ports - those are all ok - it appears to be going to core/peripherals (hence VDD_LV).  Following the spec carefully, with weeks of scrutiny and experimentation.   Can give more details if anybody has experience here... tnx, -mark #powerconsumption-power-standby
