Hi everyone,
I’m new to DW1000 and was having this question when studying the example ex_05a_ds_twr_init in DW1000 driver API. It’s mainly about this line
/* Compute final message transmission time. See NOTE 10 below. */
final_tx_time = (resp_rx_ts + (RESP_RX_TO_FINAL_TX_DLY_UUS * UUS_TO_DWT_TIME)) >> 8;
dwt_setdelayedtrxtime(final_tx_time);
According to the API document, it says that dwt_setdelayedtrxtime()
writes to the high 32 bits to DX_TIME
register (0x0A), which agrees with shifting by 8 bits above.
Also, in NOTE 10 it says the delay resolution is 512 dtu and hence the lower 9 bits need to be zeroed, which confirms that DX_TIME
ignores the lower 9 bits.
So my questions are the followings:
- When writing a 32-bit word to
DX_TIME
, it doesn’t matter if the lowest bit of that word is 0 or 1, does it? - If the lowest bit of that 32-bit word is 1, it’s actually treated as 0 and correspondingly the TX/RX delay is set at 0b…0 (it seems so from later of that code).
Thank you,
jleng
