15.2. eRPC demo¶
15.2.1. Overview¶
This project executes eRPC example, uses RPMSG as transport layer protocol, uses MBX as message notification.
Core0 as the Client and Core1 as the Server.
Please refer to official eRPC github和official rpmsg_lite github
15.2.2. IDL file generate project files¶
IDL files contains all declarations used in eRPC calls. This demo IDL file as follows: erpc_matrix_multiply.erpc:
/*!
* You can write copyrights rules here. These rules will be copied into the outputs.
*/
@outputDir("erpc_outputs") // output directory
program erpc_matrix_multiply; // specify name of output files
/*! This const defines the matrix size. The value has to be the same as the
Matrix array dimension. Do not forget to re-generate the eRPC code once the
matrix size is changed in the eRPC file */
const int32 matrix_size = 5;
/*! This is the matrix array type. The dimension has to be the same as the
matrix size const. Do not forget to re-generate the eRPC code once the
matrix size is changed in the eRPC file */
type Matrix = int32[matrix_size][matrix_size];
interface MatrixMultiplyService // cover functions for same topic
{
erpcMatrixMultiply(in Matrix matrix1, in Matrix matrix2, out Matrix result_matrix) -> void
oneway erpcSwitchLightLed()
}
Please refer to docs/IDL-Reference
The easiest way for generating code is have both the tool and the IDL file in same directory (generated). Then, the following command needs be executed:
../../../../../middleware/erpc/erpc/tools/erpcgen/Windows/erpcgen.exe erpc_matrix_multiply.erpc
This action creates four files in current folder:
erpc_matrix_multiply.h
erpc_matrix_multiply_client.cpp
erpc_matrix_multiply_server.h
erpc_matrix_multiply_server.cpp
15.2.3. Importing client/server files¶
Client project needs to count with erpc_matrix_multiply.h and erpc_matrix_multiply_client.cpp files. In the source file where the eRPC functions are called, the erpc_matrix_multiply.h header file needs to be included.
Server project needs to count with erpc_matrix_multiply.h, erpc_matrix_multiply_server.h, and erpc_matrix_multiply_server.cpp files. In source file where eRPC functions calls are implemented, the erpc_matrix_multiply_server.h header file needs to be included.
15.2.4. Generate core1 project¶
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE must be “sec_core_img”
15.2.5. Generate core0 project¶
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE user can specify “flash_sdram_xip” or “flash_xip”, etc.
15.2.6. Build project¶
Core1 project must be generated and built first Core0 project must be generated after the core1 project has been built successfully.
15.2.7. Debugging¶
Download the core0 example to the target and run core0 example first
Download the core1 example to the target and run the core1 example
If users expects to debug the core0 and core1 example step by step, users must ensure the board_init() function is executed before debugging the core1 example as some hardware resoruces needs to be initialized by board_init() in core0 example.
15.2.8. Running Results¶
When the project runs successfully, The serial port terminal will output the following information:
