| HowTo DSP_Lib_TestSuite     16.12.2016
 | |
| =======================================
 | |
| 
 | |
| This file describes the folder structure, content, prerequisites and instructions to validate the
 | |
| build of the CMSIS-DSP library. This is done by processing input data sets using the DSP Library
 | |
| functions executing on a target simulator or hardware. The output data sets are then compared 
 | |
| with the reference data set produced by unoptimized DSP functions and a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
 | |
| is computed. If the SNR is below a defined threshold the test is considered "passed".
 | |
|

 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Prerequisites
 | |
| --------------
 | |
|  - Python (running on Windows). Tested with ActivePython 2.7.8.10.
 | |
|  - Keil MDK-ARM (tested with MDK-ARM 5.22: http://www2.keil.com/mdk5)
 | |
|  - ULINKpro debug adapter (http://www2.keil.com/mdk5/ulink)
 | |
|  - MPS2 (Cortex-M Prototyping System:https://www.arm.com/products/tools/development-boards/versatile-express/cortex-m-prototyping-system.php)
 | |
|  - CMSIS 5.0.0 (https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5/releases/tag/5.0.0)
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Setup
 | |
| ------
 | |
|  - Copy DSP_Lib_TestSuite to the CMSIS installation/pack folder.
 | |
|       ...
 | |
|       .\Keil_v5\ARM\PACK\ARM\CMSIS\DSP_Lib
 | |
|       .\Keil_v5\ARM\PACK\ARM\CMSIS\DSP_Lib_TestSuite                <- location of DSP_Lib_TestSuite
 | |
|       .\Keil_v5\ARM\PACK\ARM\CMSIS\Include
 | |
|       ...
 | |
| 
 | |
|  - remove 'read-only' tag from folder ./CMSIS/Lib
 | |
|    (required for rebuild of the DSP_Lib libraries)
 | |
| 
 | |
|  - open a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP_Lib_TestSuite.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| How to run the tests
 | |
| ---------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| a) build the DSP_Lib libraries:
 | |
|  - batch file: buildDspLibs.bat 
 | |
|    Note: only require if the DSP_Lib source code got updated or the desired configuration is missing
 | |
|    buildDspLibs.bat overwrites the prebuild libraries in .\CMSIS\Lib.
 | |
|    Log files of the build process are generated in folder .\CMSIS\DSP_Lib/[ARM|GCC]
 | |
|  - run:  buildDspLibs.bat in a Windows command window in folder ./CMSIS/DSP_Lib_TestSuite
 | |
|          buildDspLibs ARM        -> builds the ARMCC libraries
 | |
|          buildDspLibs GCC        -> builds the GCC libraries
 | |
| 
 | |
| b) build the reference libraries:
 | |
|  - batch file: buildRefLibs.bat
 | |
|    
 | |
|    Log files of the build process are generated in folder .\CMSIS\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\RefLibs/[ARM|GCC]
 | |
|  - run: buildRefLibs.bat in a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP_Lib_TestSuite
 | |
|         buildRefLibs ARM        -> builds the ARMCC reference libraries
 | |
|         buildRefLibs GCC        -> builds the GCC reference libraries
 | |
| 
 | |
| c) running an individual test using uVision (MDK-ARM):
 | |
|  - batch file: runTest.bat
 | |
|  - run:  runTest.bat in a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP_Lib_TestSuite
 | |
|          runTest                                -> prints usage information
 | |
|     e.g. runTest ARM cortexM4lf Simulator       -> runs the test for toolchain ARM, Cortex-M4 littel endian with FPU, uVision Simulator.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Tests running on MPS2 requires additional steps to setup. See section 'MPS2'.
 | |
| 
 | |
| d) parsing the test output log file
 | |
|  - script: parseLog.py 
 | |
|  - run:  parseLog.py python script in a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP_Lib_TestSuite
 | |
|    command line options should match the invocation of the runTest executed before.
 | |
|    e.g: runTest ARM cortexM4lf Simulator  ->  python parseLog.py ARM cortexM4lf Simulator
 | |
|    
 | |
|  - check the test log
 | |
|    depending on your test parameters change into the required folder
 | |
|       .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\DspLibTest_[FVP|MPS2|Simulator]\[ARM|GCC]\Logs
 | |
|    the folder will contain the following files (e.g. for a 'runTest') :
 | |
|        DspLibTest_Simulator.log                    raw result of the last test run.
 | |
|        DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf.log         raw result of a cortexM4lf test run
 | |
|        DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf_build.log   build result of cortexM4lf test
 | |
|        DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf_parsed.log  parsed log of raw result of a cortexM4lf test run
 | |
|        DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf_time.log    log how long the test took (some tests e.g. M0 take really a long time!).
 | |
|    'runTest' produces files of the format:     DspLibTest_<test>_<core>...
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Differences between the tests for FVP, MPS2, Simulator
 | |
| ------------------------------------------------------
 | |
|  - all tests are identical except for:
 | |
|     'Simulator' uses uVision with uVision simulator and generates also code coverage information
 | |
|          can be used for little/big endian tests
 | |
|          ! do not use 'Simulator' for M7 with FPU      -> no uVision simulation available.
 | |
|          ! do not use 'Simulator' for ARMv8-M devices  -> no uVision simulation available.
 | |
|     'MPS2' uses uVision with ULINKpro debugger and MPS2. No code coverage information is generated.
 | |
|          can be used for little endian only (because of the lack of MPS2 FPGA images).
 | |
|     'FVP' uses uVision with Models debugger. No code coverage information is generated.
 | |
|          can be used for little/big endian tests.
 | |
|          ! config files must be prepared.
 | |
|          ! uVision target for big endianess are not yet prepared.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Setup 'MPS2'
 | |
| -------------
 | |
|  - load the appropriate FPGA image to the MPS2 board matching the CPU of the test builds prior to running the test
 | |
|  - check if ULINKpro can connect with the configured debug connection (JTAG or SWD) as this must
 | |
|    match the protocol implemented in the FPGA image.
 | |
|  
 | |
| 
 | |
| How to select tests for "run all tests"
 | |
| ----------------------------------------
 | |
|  - edit .\CMSIS\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\all_tests.c
 | |
|    comment out all unwanted test groups.
 | |
|    e.g.  //    JTEST_GROUP_CALL(complex_math_tests);
 | |
| 
 | |
|  - edit .\CMSIS\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\<test group>/<test group>_group.c
 | |
|    comment out all unwanted sub test groups.
 | |
|    e.g. file .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\basic_math_tests\basic_math_test_group.c ->  //    JTEST_GROUP_CALL(abs_tests);
 | |
| 
 | |
|  - edit .\CMSIS\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\<test group>/<test>_tests.c
 | |
|    comment out all unwanted tests.
 | |
|    e.g. file .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\basic_math_tests\abs_tests.c  ->  //    JTEST_TEST_CALL(arm_abs_f32_test);
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Notes
 | |
| -----
 | |
|  - How to use ARM Clang (ARM Compiler 6):
 | |
|    in uVision 'Options for Target' tab you can select which compiler to use
 | |
|    by default uVision uses ARMCC V5 for Cortex-M devices and ARMCLANG V6 only for ARMv8M.
 | |
|    Only ARMv8M cores have been tested using ARMCLANG
 | |
| 
 | |
|  - test data used for the tests is used as provided by DSP Concepts.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  - some tests run for a very long time before they finish. This is expected
