Not understanding PDM 2 PCM

[kcire L.]

Hello,

I am trying to use the PDM 2 PCM library to read in a MEMS microphone and am having some difficulty understanding the code below.

If I wanted simply output the converted PCM data over a UART, what would need to be done to do this?

My assumption is the PCM data is MidBuffer which is a uint16 bit array of 16 PCM samples?

I think the callbacks are also confusing me. What is going on during these callbacks?

Thanks for any information.

  while (1)
	  {
	    if (rxstate==1)
	    {
 
	    	PDM_Filter(&pdmRxBuf[0],&MidBuffer[0], &PDM1_filter_handler);
 
	    	for (int i=0; i<16;i++)
	    	{
	    		FifoWrite(MidBuffer[i]);
	    	}
	    	if (fifo_w_ptr-fifo_r_ptr > 128) fifo_read_enabled=1;
	    	rxstate=0;
 
 
	    }
 
	    if (rxstate==2)
	    {
 
	    	PDM_Filter(&pdmRxBuf[64],&MidBuffer[0], &PDM1_filter_handler);
	    	for (int i=0; i<16;i++)
	    	{
	    		FifoWrite(MidBuffer[i]);
 
	    	}
	    	rxstate=0;
 
	    }
 
	    if (txstate==1) {
	    	if (fifo_read_enabled==1)
	    	{
			for (int i=0; i<64;i=i+4)	//64
				{
					uint16_t data = FifoRead();
 
					txBuf[i] = data;
					txBuf[i+2] = data;
 
				}
	    	}
	    	txstate=0;
	    }
 
	    if (txstate==2)
	    {
	    	if (fifo_read_enabled==1)
	    	{
 
				for (int i=64; i<128;i=i+4)
				{
					uint16_t data = FifoRead();
					txBuf[i] = data;
					txBuf[i+2] = data;
				}
 
			}
	    	txstate=0;
	    }
