Well, I’ve managed to merge the USB receive portion into the main program that reads and processes tracks. This means I no longer need an external program to receive the data, to write it to a file, to read the file into the main program. Now I just run the main program which reads the SX directly.
I’m sort of unhappy because I can only get a max of 38.4k to work, and I’m not sure if this is a flow-control issue or what. 38.4K isn’t horrible, translates to about 3 seconds for each track. I really don’t want to do the math, but I know this number isn’t acceptable. The problem is the PC here and it’s somehow related to buffers, flow-control, etc.
My USB interface supports up to 3mbps, and I’ve tested it at 921600 baud. I tried 57.6k and looked at the output on the scope, and the output looks perfect. So it’s the PC giving me a hard time. I’ve got to read the SDK closer though, and adjust some settings.
I’m going to play with it a little longer, and if I can’t mAake progress on it, I’m going to move onto something else and optimize later. There are many things to do and I don’t want to waste time on getting one thing perfect before moving on….
