[LSM6DSR] Correct flow to get XL and gyro data by data-ready interrupt mode?

[E-John]

I tried to get XL and gyro data by data-ready interrupt mode,

​

1. Configuartion registers sequence and values are as follows

Use Bypass mode, XL data-ready rounted to INT1; gyro data-ready rounted to INT2

2. In ISR1 reads the STATUS_REG, if XLDA bit is set, read XL data

3. In ISR2 reads the STATUS_REG, if GDA bit is set, read gyro data

is that correct to get XL and gyro by data-ready interrupt mode?

My questions are

1. If read STATUS_REG on ISR, the INTx will keep on high, only do a XL read or gyro read from LSM6DSR, the INTx pin change to low?
2. If I put the read XL and read gyro on background while(1), it is likely to cause the INTx pin high and system hangs
3. Only read XL and gyro inside ISR can keep system stable​

Hi @E-John​ ,

• is that correct to get XL and gyro by data-ready interrupt mode? Yes it is
• If read STATUS_REG on ISR, the INTx will keep on high, only do a XL read or gyro read from LSM6DSR, the INTx pin change to low? yes, it's correct

For any other questions I suggest you look at our PID on github.

Hi @Federica Bossi​ ​

​

I have referred to the code on github, it does not enable the ISR1 and ISR2 on LSM6DSR IC.

My question is when I enable XL and Gyro Interrupt on LSM6DSR

If read the XL and gyro data on while(1) loop, system is hanged, it is OK when read XL and gyro on ISR1 and ISR2

If XL and gyro interrupt is enable on LSM6DSR, to read data on while(1) or read data on ISR is correct?

Thanks.

[Federica Bossi]

Hi @E-John​ ,

Look at the function lsm6dsrx_main_interrupt on Github to enable the ISR1 and ISR2 on LSM6DSR IC.

In particular this part:

void lsm6dsrx_main_interrupt(void) {
stmdev_ctx_t dev_ctx;
 /* Uncomment to configure INT 1 */ 
//lsm6dsrx_pin_int1_route_t int1_route; 
/* Uncomment to configure INT 2 */
//lsm6dsrx_pin_int2_route_t int2_route;
 /* Initialize mems driver interface. */

Let me know if this solves your problem

Hi Federica,

​

I have enable the interrupt on my system. it read the g-sensor and gyro data on while(1) loop, the system hanges on my side, is there any missing for this flow?

Thanks.

[Federica Bossi]

Ciao @E-John​ ,

Let's try to enable the dataready_pulsed bit (reg 0Bh) and see if the system still hangs.

Also please check interrupt priority in your system.
