Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2010 12:09:24 +0530 From: nidhi mittal hada <nidhimittal19@...il.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@...ts.arm.linux.org.uk, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-newbie@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: beagle-board -high speed data acquisition from - adc -- Hi all I am reframing question in case it remained unclear ......................Its a simple conceptual doubts...please clarify Simple I want to acquire data from a parallel interface ---- 12 bit ADC (works at a rate of 40Msamples per second.)----with the Beagle Board with .. i want to acquire data from that ADC for a period of 100 msec............with each sample coming from ADC at 25 nanosec.... Now my sequence of task includes -------- For a period of 100msecs 1)BeagleBoard -------gives a start signal to ADC 2)ADC ------>gives back sample data after 25nseconds--------->for these 25ns beagle board has to store previous sample in memory ... may be using DMA !! ...........still undecisive whether DMA is proper choice or not .......... ------------ process gets an interrupt ....that 25ns are over !! 3)Now goto step 1.........BUT Now beagleboard has to give another start signal ----without wasting anymore than 1 or 2 ns before giving another start signal to ADC that is where i am doubtful ................. as If i use interrupt handler at after 25ns ...then interrupt latency itself might take more time than i want to save ............ Q1.Can there be some interrupt handler ....which can just capture data and gives start signal at highest priority without getting interrupted by kernel ...? If i use user mode or kernel mode process ...for this ...how do i ensure that ... it doesnt get preempted by anything before it does this critical operation of capturing data and giving start signal ...... Q2. Can we store sample data in memory in 25 ns we have with us before getting next sample from ADC ? Q3.should we use DMA ? CAN Beagleboard with linux in it ...can achieve such a strict time constrained requirement ?
