Middleware to implement Arm CMSIS DSP by using 32-bit Multiply-Accumulator (MACL).

Overview

The 32-bit Multiply-Accumulator (MACL) provides hardware acceleration for calculation of CMSIS DSP functions. After initializing this module, refer to the Arm documentation to use the file system: https://www.keil.com/pack/doc/CMSIS/DSP/html/index.html

Features

The MACL module supports the following features:

No	MACL API	Feature
1	arm_mult_q31	Q31 vector multiplication
2	arm_scale_q31	Multiplies a Q31 vector by a scalar
3	arm_mat_mult_q31	Q31 matrix multiplication
4	arm_mat_vec_mult_q31	Q31 matrix and vector multiplication
5	arm_mat_scale_q31	Q31 matrix scaling
6	arm_biquad_cascade_df1_q31	Processing function for the Q31 Biquad cascade filter
7	arm_conv_partial_q31	Partial convolution of Q31 sequences
8	arm_conv_q31	Convolution of Q31 sequences
9	arm_correlate_q31	Correlation of Q31 sequences
10	arm_fir_decimate_q31	Processing function for the Q31 FIR decimator
11	arm_fir_interpolate_q31	Processing function for the Q31 FIR interpolator
12	arm_fir_q31	Processing function for Q31 FIR filter
13	arm_fir_sparse_q31	Processing function for the Q31 sparse FIR filter
14	arm_lms_norm_q31	Processing function for Q31 normalized LMS filter
15	arm_lms_q31	Processing function for Q31 LMS filter

Note: The MACL hardware acceleration when executing 5 APIs including arm_scale_q31, arm_mat_scale_q31, arm_correlate_q31, arm_fir_q31, and arm_lms_q31 with 1-element input on IAR compiler will not be better than ARM CMSIS software. The MACL hardware is useful when executing with larger amounts of input.

Configuration

CMSIS DSP Acceleration Configuration

To enable hardware acceleration for Arm CMSIS DSP, the stack "Arm CMSIS6 DSP Acceleration" of CMSIS DSP must be filled with MACL (rm_cmsis_dsp). Otherwise the CMSIS DSP functions will perform the calculation by using software. This can be done at the Stack Configuration.

Usage Notes

Hardware Support

MACL module is required for using this middleware. Refer to the MCU hardware user's manual or datasheet to determine if it has MACL support.
