Problem getting A&D memory data

Hi Everybody.

I am developing an application that make these steps:

  1. Gets a file from a web server (170 Kb)
  2. Stores it in the A&D memory
  3. Gets this data from A&D memory to send it though UART1.

I have a problem in step 3, because I have got to store the file in the A&D memory (I always got OK as a result to adWrite function), but when I try to retrieve the stored info through adInfo function and info.data pointer, I didn’t get the information I wrote, or at least, I don’t know how to get that information. If I print the info.remaining and info.size parameters from adInfo function I get the correct answer.

This is my relevant code:

void Handler_wipHTTP_Status (wip_event_t *ev, void * ctx)
{
	wip_channel_t http_channel;
	u32 ret;
	s32 result;
	s32 i;
	ascii url_dest [70];
	u8 firmwareGPS [10240];
	u8 * GPS_data_Flash;
	u8 data_show [100];
	adl_adState_t State;
	adl_adInfo_t * info;
	
	http_channel = ev -> channel;
	switch (ev->kind)
	{
		case WIP_CEV_OPEN:
			wm_sprintf(url_dest,"GET /gps/phx_1_5_2_bE1.ski HTTP/1.1\r\n");
			wip_write(http_ch,url_dest,37);
   			wip_write(http_ch,"Host: 194.224.225.162\r\n\r\n",25);
   			// Reserved space in the A&D memory
	   		firmgps_adCellHandle = adl_adSubscribe (FLH_ID_FIRMGPS, 204800);
	   		// Reserved space in the RAM memory (100Kb)
	   		firmwareGPS_Write = adl_memGet (102400);
	   		if (firmwareGPS_Write == NULL)
	   			adl_atSendResponse ( ADL_AT_UNS, "\r\nTHERE IS NO MORE RAM MEMORY\r\n");
	   		for (i=0;i<102400;i++)
	   			firmwareGPS_Write [i] = '\0';
   			cont = 0;
			break;
		case WIP_CEV_READ:
			// Reading from web server socket

			{
				// Add to total bytes received
				cont = cont + ret;
			}
			wm_sprintf(RspStr,"Received %d bytes\r\n",cont);
			adl_atSendResponse ( ADL_AT_UNS, RspStr);

Can someone help me and tell me what I am making wrong?

Thanks a lot.

It’s hard to read your code, as it’s lost its layout, and some has been misinterpreted as “smileys” :smiley: :slight_smile: :frowning: :astonished:

You need to use the ‘Code’ button to format the text as code & prevent “smileys” - and use the ‘Preview’ to check it.

See the forum User’s guide:
wavecom.com/modules/movie/sc … m.php?f=24

the first thing i noticed was :

firmwareGPS_Write = adl_memGet (102400);

to my knowledge the adl_memGet() api takes an ‘unsigned short’ (u16),
which can have a maximum value of 65535

Goodluck !

awneil, thanks for your recomendations. It was the first time I post some question.

I have edited my first post and I hope that my code would be more readable now.

openat_newby, I think that there is no problem in the memGet function, because I have read the ADL_User_Guide documentation and I got the definition for that function and it was:

void * adl_memGet (u32 size)

So I can request more that 65536 bytes, if I don’t reach the total available RAM memory. In fact, I requested more than 128Kb in one my first tests and my module reseted at that point everytime.

By the way, I didn’t mentioned that I am using a Q2686H module, firmware 6.61 and OpenAT 4.10

Thanks anyway.

Hi, everybody.

After some research and a lot of tests, I have solve my own problem.

The problem was the way I used the info->data pointer. You can not access its content through info->data[i] or *info->data, because that pointer points a place in the flash memory, not in RAM memory, so the solution is to copy the content to RAM memory, using wm_memcpy.

So, changing this code:

for (i = 0; i < 100; i++)
         {
            wm_sprintf( RspStr, "+INFO_DATA[%d] = %s\r\n",i,(u8) GPS_data_Flash [i]);
            adl_atSendResponse ( ADL_AT_UNS, RspStr);
            //GPS_data_Flash++;
         }

to

GPS_data_flash = adl_memGet (129);
GPS_data_flash2 = (u8 *)info -> data;
// We copy 128 bytes from flash memory to RAM.
wm_memcpy (GPS_data_flash,GPS_data_flash2,128);
GPS_data_flash [129] = '\0';
wm_sprintf( RspStr, "+INFO_DATA = %s\r\n",GPS_data_flash);
adl_atSendResponse ( ADL_AT_UNS, RspStr);

And you can move your copy of the info->data pointer (GPS_data_flash2) wherever you want. Don’t move the info->data pointer directly (for example doing info->data++) because the module resets.

I hope this solution helps somebody in the same or similar situation.
