+HowTo DSP_Lib_TestSuite 18.02.2019
+=======================================
+
+This file describes the folder structure, content, prerequisites and instructions to validate the
+build of the CMSIS-DSP library. This is done by processing input data sets using the DSP Library
+functions executing on a target simulator or hardware. The output data sets are then compared
+with the reference data set produced by unoptimized DSP functions and a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
+is computed. If the SNR is below a defined threshold the test is considered "passed".
+
+
+Folder structure
+----------------
+ .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite Batch files for building the reference libraries and running the tests.
+ .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common
+ .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\inc DSP_Lib test include files

+
+
+Prerequisites
+--------------
+ - Python (running on Windows). Tested with ActivePython 2.7.8.10.
+ - Keil MDK-ARM (tested with MDK-ARM 5.22: http://www2.keil.com/mdk5)
+ - ULINKpro debug adapter (http://www2.keil.com/mdk5/ulink)
+ - MPS2 (Cortex-M Prototyping System:https://www.arm.com/products/tools/development-boards/versatile-express/cortex-m-prototyping-system.php)
+ - CMSIS 5.0.0 (https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5/releases/tag/5.0.0)
+
+
+Setup
+------
+ - remove 'read-only' tag from folder .\CMSIS\DSP\Lib
+ (required for rebuild of the DSP_Lib libraries)
+
+ - open a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite.
+
+
+
+How to run the tests
+---------------------
+
+a) build the DSP_Lib libraries:
+ - batch file: buildDspLibs.bat
+ Note: only require if the DSP_Lib source code got updated or the desired configuration is missing
+ buildDspLibs.bat overwrites the prebuild libraries in .\CMSIS\DSP\Lib.
+ Log files of the build process are generated in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib/[ARM|GCC]
+ - run: buildDspLibs.bat in a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite
+ buildDspLibs ARM -> builds the ARMCC libraries
+ buildDspLibs GCC -> builds the GCC libraries
+
+b) build the reference libraries:
+ - batch file: buildRefLibs.bat
+
+ Log files of the build process are generated in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\RefLibs/[ARM|GCC]
+ - run: buildRefLibs.bat in a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite
+ buildRefLibs ARM -> builds the ARMCC reference libraries
+ buildRefLibs GCC -> builds the GCC reference libraries
+
+c) running an individual test using uVision (MDK-ARM):
+ - batch file: runTest.bat
+ - run: runTest.bat in a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite
+ runTest -> prints usage information
+ e.g. runTest ARM cortexM4lf Simulator -> runs the test for toolchain ARM, Cortex-M4 littel endian with FPU, uVision Simulator.
+
+ Tests running on MPS2 requires additional steps to setup. See section 'MPS2'.
+
+d) parsing the test output log file
+ - script: parseLog.py
+ - run: parseLog.py python script in a Windows command window in folder .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite
+ command line options should match the invocation of the runTest executed before.
+ e.g: runTest ARM cortexM4lf Simulator -> python parseLog.py ARM cortexM4lf Simulator
+
+ - check the test log
+ depending on your test parameters change into the required folder
+ .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\DspLibTest_[FVP|MPS2|Simulator]\[ARM|GCC]\Logs
+ the folder will contain the following files (e.g. for a 'runTest') :
+ DspLibTest_Simulator.log raw result of the last test run.
+ DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf.log raw result of a cortexM4lf test run
+ DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf_build.log build result of cortexM4lf test
+ DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf_parsed.log parsed log of raw result of a cortexM4lf test run
+ DspLibTest_Simulator_cortexM4lf_time.log log how long the test took (some tests e.g. M0 take really a long time!).
+ 'runTest' produces files of the format: DspLibTest_<test>_<core>...
+
+
+Differences between the tests for FVP, MPS2, Simulator
+------------------------------------------------------
+ - all tests are identical except for:
+ 'Simulator' uses uVision with uVision simulator and generates also code coverage information
+ can be used for little/big endian tests
+ ! do not use 'Simulator' for M7 with FPU -> no uVision simulation available.
+ ! do not use 'Simulator' for ARMv8-M devices -> no uVision simulation available.
+ 'MPS2' uses uVision with ULINKpro debugger and MPS2. No code coverage information is generated.
+ can be used for little endian only (because of the lack of MPS2 FPGA images).
+ 'FVP' uses uVision with Models debugger. No code coverage information is generated.
+ can be used for little/big endian tests.
+ ! config files must be prepared.
+ ! uVision target for big endianess are not yet prepared.
+
+
+Setup 'MPS2'
+-------------
+ - load the appropriate FPGA image to the MPS2 board matching the CPU of the test builds prior to running the test
+ - check if ULINKpro can connect with the configured debug connection (JTAG or SWD) as this must
+ match the protocol implemented in the FPGA image.
+
+
+How to select tests for "run all tests"
+----------------------------------------
+ - edit .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\all_tests.c
+ comment out all unwanted test groups.
+ e.g. // JTEST_GROUP_CALL(complex_math_tests);
+
+ - edit .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\<test group>/<test group>_group.c
+ comment out all unwanted sub test groups.
+ e.g. file .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\basic_math_tests\basic_math_test_group.c -> // JTEST_GROUP_CALL(abs_tests);
+
+ - edit .\CMSIS\DSP\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\<test group>/<test>_tests.c
+ comment out all unwanted tests.
+ e.g. file .\DSP_Lib_TestSuite\Common\src\basic_math_tests\abs_tests.c -> // JTEST_TEST_CALL(arm_abs_f32_test);
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+ - How to use ARM Clang (ARM Compiler 6):
+ in uVision 'Options for Target' tab you can select which compiler to use
+ by default uVision uses ARMCC V5 for Cortex-M devices and ARMCLANG V6 only for ARMv8M.
+ Only ARMv8M cores have been tested using ARMCLANG
+
+ - test data used for the tests is used as provided by DSP Concepts.
+
+ - some tests run for a very long time before they finish. This is expected
