---|
4 | This file describes the folder structure, content, prerequisites and instructions to validate the |
---|
5 | build of the CMSIS-DSP library. This is done by processing input data sets using the DSP Library |
---|
6 | functions executing on a target simulator or hardware. The output data sets are then compared |
---|
7 | with the reference data set produced by unoptimized DSP functions and a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) |
---|
8 | is computed. If the SNR is below a defined threshold the test is considered "passed". |

26 | Prerequisites |
---|
27 | -------------- |
---|
28 | - Python (running on Windows). Tested with ActivePython 2.7.8.10. |
---|
29 | - Keil MDK-ARM (tested with MDK-ARM 5.22: http://www2.keil.com/mdk5) |
---|
30 | - ULINKpro debug adapter (http://www2.keil.com/mdk5/ulink) |
---|
31 | - MPS2 (Cortex-M Prototyping System:https://www.arm.com/products/tools/development-boards/versatile-express/cortex-m-prototyping-system.php) |
---|
32 | - CMSIS 5.0.0 (https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5/releases/tag/5.0.0) |
---|
33 | |
---|
34 | |
---|
35 | Setup |
---|
36 | ------ |
---|
37 | - remove 'read-only' tag from folder .\CMSIS\DSP\Lib |
---|
38 | (required for rebuild of the DSP_Lib libraries) |
---|
39 | |
---|
40 | - open a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite. |
---|
41 | |
---|
42 | |
---|
43 | |
---|
44 | How to run the tests |
---|
45 | --------------------- |
---|
46 | |
---|
47 | a) build the DSP_Lib libraries: |
---|
48 | - batch file: buildDspLibs.bat |
---|
49 | Note: only require if the DSP_Lib source code got updated or the desired configuration is missing |
---|
50 | buildDspLibs.bat overwrites the prebuild libraries in .\CMSIS\DSP\Lib. |
---|
51 | Log files of the build process are generated in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib/[ARM|GCC] |
---|
52 | - run: buildDspLibs.bat in a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite |
---|
53 | buildDspLibs ARM -> builds the ARMCC libraries |
---|
54 | buildDspLibs GCC -> builds the GCC libraries |
---|
55 | |
---|
56 | b) build the reference libraries: |
---|
57 | - batch file: buildRefLibs.bat |
---|
58 | |
---|
59 | Log files of the build process are generated in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\RefLibs/[ARM|GCC] |
---|
60 | - run: buildRefLibs.bat in a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite |
---|
61 | buildRefLibs ARM -> builds the ARMCC reference libraries |
---|
62 | buildRefLibs GCC -> builds the GCC reference libraries |
---|
63 | |
---|
64 | c) running an individual test using uVision (MDK-ARM): |
---|
65 | - batch file: runTest.bat |
---|
66 | - run: runTest.bat in a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite |
---|
67 | runTest -> prints usage information |
---|
68 | e.g. runTest ARM cortexM4lf Simulator -> runs the test for toolchain ARM, Cortex-M4 littel endian with FPU, uVision Simulator. |
---|
69 | |
---|
70 | Tests running on MPS2 requires additional steps to setup. See section 'MPS2'. |
---|
71 | |
---|
72 | d) parsing the test output log file |
---|
73 | - script: parseLog.py |
---|
74 | - run: parseLog.py python script in a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite |
---|
75 | command line options should match the invocation of the runTest executed before. |
---|
76 | e.g: runTest ARM cortexM4lf Simulator -> python parseLog.py ARM cortexM4lf Simulator |
---|
77 | |
---|
78 | - check the test log |
---|
79 | depending on your test parameters change into the required folder |
---|
80 | .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\DspLibTest_[FVP|MPS2|Simulator]\[ARM|GCC]\Logs |
---|
81 | the folder will contain the following files (e.g. for a 'runTest') : |
---|
82 | DspLibTest_Simulator.log raw result of the last test run. |
---|
83 | DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf.log raw result of a cortexM4lf test run |
---|
84 | DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf_build.log build result of cortexM4lf test |
---|
85 | DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf_parsed.log parsed log of raw result of a cortexM4lf test run |
---|
86 | DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf_time.log log how long the test took (some tests e.g. M0 take really a long time!). |
---|
87 | 'runTest' produces files of the format: DspLibTest_<test>_<core>... |
---|
88 | |
---|
89 | |
---|
90 | Differences between the tests for FVP, MPS2, Simulator |
---|
91 | ------------------------------------------------------ |
---|
92 | - all tests are identical except for: |
---|
93 | 'Simulator' uses uVision with uVision simulator and generates also code coverage information |
---|
94 | can be used for little/big endian tests |
---|
95 | ! do not use 'Simulator' for M7 with FPU -> no uVision simulation available. |
---|
96 | ! do not use 'Simulator' for ARMv8-M devices -> no uVision simulation available. |
---|
97 | 'MPS2' uses uVision with ULINKpro debugger and MPS2. No code coverage information is generated. |
---|
98 | can be used for little endian only (because of the lack of MPS2 FPGA images). |
---|
99 | 'FVP' uses uVision with Models debugger. No code coverage information is generated. |
---|
100 | can be used for little/big endian tests. |
---|
101 | ! config files must be prepared. |
---|
102 | ! uVision target for big endianess are not yet prepared. |
---|
103 | |
---|
104 | |
---|
105 | Setup 'MPS2' |
---|
106 | ------------- |
---|
107 | - load the appropriate FPGA image to the MPS2 board matching the CPU of the test builds prior to running the test |
---|
108 | - check if ULINKpro can connect with the configured debug connection (JTAG or SWD) as this must |
---|
109 | match the protocol implemented in the FPGA image. |
---|
110 | |
---|
111 | |
---|
112 | How to select tests for "run all tests" |
---|
113 | ---------------------------------------- |
---|
114 | - edit .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\all_tests.c |
---|
115 | comment out all unwanted test groups. |
---|
116 | e.g. // JTEST_GROUP_CALL(complex_math_tests); |
---|
117 | |
---|
118 | - edit .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\<test group>/<test group>_group.c |
---|
119 | comment out all unwanted sub test groups. |
---|
120 | e.g. file .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\basic_math_tests\basic_math_test_group.c -> // JTEST_GROUP_CALL(abs_tests); |
---|
121 | |
---|
122 | - edit .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\<test group>/<test>_tests.c |
---|
123 | comment out all unwanted tests. |
---|
124 | e.g. file .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\basic_math_tests\abs_tests.c -> // JTEST_TEST_CALL(arm_abs_f32_test); |
---|

---|
127 | Notes |
---|
128 | ----- |
---|
129 | - How to use ARM Clang (ARM Compiler 6): |
---|
130 | in uVision 'Options for Target' tab you can select which compiler to use |
---|
131 | by default uVision uses ARMCC V5 for Cortex-M devices and ARMCLANG V6 only for ARMv8M. |
---|
132 | Only ARMv8M cores have been tested using ARMCLANG |
---|
133 | |
---|
134 | - test data used for the tests is used as provided by DSP Concepts. |
---|
135 | |
---|
136 | - some tests run for a very long time before they finish. This is expected |
