The debug log shows: 1945 186786 pf_sample 50 3534 3577 50 My interpretation is that the fixed point scaling of the target error value (pf) is incorrect: the error value of 50 compared to a target of 14 case should result in a scaling value of (14-50) = -36 * 256 or -9216, but instead it is (14 * 256)-50, or 3534. Correct this by doing fixed point scaling after subtraction. Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland Acked-by: Stefano Brivio Acked-by: Mattias Nissler Signed-off-by: John W.
