UART-0 hangs when UART-1 receive data in AMP

fayyazrafiq

Hi All,

I am using ZEDBoard with AMP application. I configured UART0 receive interrupt for CPU0 and UART1 receive interrupt for CPU1. The program works fine, if I do not have any character receive from UART-1. As soon as, i send some character from the terminal program for UART1, UART0 also stop sending data out. I do not know what is problem, It seems something is shared between the CPU0 and CPU1. Although, it should not be the case because i am using separate UART for each CPU. Any help is highly appreciated.

Regards

    Hi Fayyaz,
      My guess on this is that the shared entity you are seeking is the Cypress USB-to-UART driver on your host system.  Although you are using separate UARTs on your target, I suspect if you attempt to use both at the same time the driver will not be able to separate the streams.  You will need to manage the dual UARTs through some type of mutex.

    Hi

    Thanks for the reply but I did not understand, why i need to use mutex. I will explain it little bit more.

    Actually, I am using FreeRTOS on both cores and one of the core is using UART0 routed to PL package pins while the other is using UART1 (by default routed to Cypress USB-to-UART bridge). Both UARTs receives data on interrupts. Normally the UART0 send/receive is ok, However, as soon as i sent data from hyper terminal to UART1, UART0 also stop sending data.

    Is this problem is due to Scugic distributor unit? because previously i selected the -DUSE_AMP =1 compiler option. But when i saw, when this compiler option is set, cpu1 does not initialize the interrupt distributor unit. In case of linux plus FreeRTOS, this compiler option is set. I am not sure, what to do?

    Any help is highly appreciated.
