Error: invalid conversion, but same types?

[mgoubert]

Hi,

I don't get why i get this error when compiling my testbench.

../xtm640/xtm640_test.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
../xtm640/xtm640_test.cpp:7: error: invalid conversion from ‘ap_ulong’ to ‘ap_uint<8>*’
../xtm640/xtm640_test.cpp:7: error: initializing argument 1 of ‘void xtm640(ap_uint<8>*, ap_uint<8>*)’
../xtm640/xtm640_test.cpp:7: error: invalid conversion from ‘ap_ulong’ to ‘ap_uint<8>*’
../xtm640/xtm640_test.cpp:7: error: initializing argument 2 of ‘void xtm640(ap_uint<8>*, ap_uint<8>*)’

I only use one type, here is the code:

xtm640.cpp

#include "ap_int.h"


void xtm640(ap_uint<8> * din,ap_uint<8> * dout){
#pragma HLS INTERFACE ap_fifo port=dout
#pragma HLS INTERFACE ap_fifo port=din

	ap_uint<8> temp;

	while(1){
		temp = (*din++);
		(*dout++) = temp;
	}




}

 xtm640_test.cpp

#include "ap_int.h"
#include "xtm640.h"
int main(){

	ap_uint<8> din=20;
	ap_uint<8> dout;
	xtm640(din,dout);
	if(din==dout){
		printf("OK");
	}
	else {
		printf("NOT OK!");
	}

	return 0;

}

 xtm640.h

#ifndef XTM640_H
#define XTM640_H
 
void xtm640(ap_uint<8> * din, ap_uint<8> * dout);
 
#endif

Its a simple fifo loopback that i am going to place on the fifo from xillybus.

Thnx,

Matthias

You are passing two scalars to a function with pointer parameter.

The correct function call should be : xtm640( &din, &dout);

BTW, the "while(1)" statement in your design makes the C simulation never end.

	xtm640(din,dout);
