PIC16f877a USART Interrupt handling - interrupt-handling

I am trying to write a simple code to receive and resend data using usart but the code is not working. Can someone give suggestions on the possible flaws in the code.Please note that I am using USART at baud rate 9600 with clock frequency 4MHz.
#include<pic.h>
void main()
{ TRISB=0X00;
TXEN=1;
SYNC=0;
BRGH=1;
SPEN=1;
CREN=1;
//RCEN=1;
SPBRG=0X19;
INTCON=0X80;
TRISC7=1;
TRISC6=0;
RCIE=1;
TXIE=1;
while(1);
}
void interrupt rectrans()
{
if(RCIF==1)
{
TXREG=RCREG;
while(!TRMT);
RCIF=0;
}
else if(TXIF==1)
{TXIF=0;
}
}

I think you should enable GIE bit or Global Interrupt Enable bit for activating any interrupt as you can see from the attached diagram with this answer.. Try to add GIE=1; to enable global interrupt... You can see and AND gate to which GIE bit is connected only all any other interrupt will pass if GIE bit is high

STM32L4R5xx hangs when an external interrupt is enabled

I would like to use the pin PC3 as an external interrupt. Whenever I enable the interrupt I end up in the infinite loop.
This is how I init a gpio and its interrupt:
__HAL_RCC_GPIOC_CLK_ENABLE();
GPIO_InitStruct.Pin = GPIO_PIN_3;
GPIO_InitStruct.Mode = GPIO_MODE_IT_FALLING;
GPIO_InitStruct.Pull = GPIO_NOPULL;
HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOC, &GPIO_InitStruct);
/* EXTI interrupt init*/
HAL_NVIC_SetPriority(EXTI3_IRQn, 0, 0);
HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(EXTI3_IRQn);
I have checked hardware and all signals are like they should be.
I tried PB0 and PC3 and the result is the same.
Anyone who knows how to play with stm32l4 and exti?
The infinite loop:
Default_Handler:
Infinite_Loop:
b Infinite_Loop
.size Default_Handler, .-Default_Handler
I dont even reach an interrupt here (I have a break point there)
void EXIT3_IRQnHandler(void)
{
HAL_GPIO_EXTI_IRQHandler(GPIO_PIN_3);
if(!HAL_GPIO_ReadPin(GPIOC, GPIO_PIN_3))
{
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_7);
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOG, GPIO_PIN_14);
}
EXTI_ClearITPendingBit(EXTI3_IRQn);
}
Maybe that is important to mention that I also have SPI configuration in the same project (SPI1).
If ISR name is not correct it will use some default error code (its name depends on configuration), as happens in your case.
In my code its named EXTI3_IRQHandler not EXTI3_IRQnHandler.
Check in your startup file (in my setup it is called startup_stm32l432xx.s) for ISR names to be used.

STM32F412 using FreeRTOS and USB to do audio processing

I am using stm32f4 nucleuo board. I can transmit the audio data through usb to PC without FreeRTOS. Now I want to learn how to integrate the FreeRTOS and usb together. But I have some questions about how fundamentally threads and ISR interact with each other.
Below I have two files.
In main.c, there are two threads created.In usb_thread, I initialize usb dirver and do nothing else.
In vr_thread, it waits state == 1 and process PCM_Buffer.
/* main.c */
extern uint16_t PCM_Buffer[16];
int state = 0;
int main(void)
{
HAL_Init();
SystemClock_Config();
MX_GPIO_Init();
osThreadDef(usb_t, usb_thread, osPriorityNormal, 0, configMINIMAL_STACK_SIZE);
osThreadDef(vr_t, vr_thread, osPriorityNormal, 0, configMINIMAL_STACK_SIZE);
usb_thread_handle = osThreadCreate (osThread(usb_t), NULL);
usb_thread_handle = osThreadCreate (osThread(vr_t), NULL);
osKernelStart();
for (;;) {}
}
static void usb_thread(void const *argument)
{
/*Do some initialization here.*/
for (;;) {}
}
static void vr_thread(void const *argument)
{
/*Do some initialization here.*/
for (;;) {
if (state == 1) {
state = 0;
process_buffer(PCM_Buffer);
}
}
}
In app.c, USB_AUDIO_CallBack will be called by usb ISR every 1 millisecond. It transmit PCM_Buffer to PC first because it is really important, then it changes state to 1.
/* app.c */
uint16_t PCM_Buffer[16];
extern int state;
void USB_AUDIO_CallBack(void) //It will be called by usb ISR every 10^-3 second.
{
Send_Audio_to_USB((int16_t *)(PCM_Buffer), NUM_AUDIO_BUF);
state = 1;
}
Here are my questions.
1. How to find out the unit counting tick of FreeRTOS? USB_AUDIO_CallBack will be
called every 1 millisecond, how to know FreeRTOS basic tick is faster or slower
than 1 millisecond. Is FreeRTOS tick equal to systick?
2. Let's assume the process time of process_buffer is less than 1 millisecond. What I want to accomplish here is described below
hardware trigger
|
usb ISR
|
USB_AUDIO_CallBack
|
state=1
|
vr_thread process_buffer
|
state=0, then wait for hardware trigger again.
I really doubt it is the correct way to do it. Or should I use suspend() and resume()?
3. Is using extern to declare global PCM_Buffer the correct way to pass variable between threads or should I use queue in FreeRTOS?
I know these questions are trivial but I really want to understand them. Any helpful document or website is welcome. Thanks.
To convert real time to systick you can use macro pdMS_TO_TICKS(xTimeInMS).
You can define your USB_AUDIO_CallBack also as a thread (or task) or paste the code from the callback to vr_thread (as your application works on only one processor). Then inside the USB ISR you can send a notification using function vTaskNotifyGiveFromISR and receive it inside vr_thread by calling ulTaskNotifyTake. After receiving the notification you can call Send_Audio_to_USB((int16_t *)(PCM_Buffer), NUM_AUDIO_BUF);
and then process_buffer(PCM_Buffer);. It is better to bring out the code from callback to task, because the ISR handler will finish it's job faster as Send_Audio_to_USB function could run long time. You also keep things to be executed in the same order as you needed.
I think that you mean volatile instead of extern. If you want to use this buffer along different threads and ISRs you should define it as volatile, but if you will use the approach with only one task you can declare this buffer as local buffer.

stm32L476RG - how to execute the bootloader from firmware

I am working on a NUCLEO-L476RG board, trying to start the bootloader from my firmware code but its not working for me. here is the code that i am trying to execute :
#include "stm32l4xx.h"
#include "stm32l4xx_nucleo.h"
#include "core_cm4.h"
#include "stm32l4xx_hal_uart.h"
GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStructure;
UART_HandleTypeDef UartHandle;
UART_InitTypeDef UART_InitStructre;
void BootLoaderInit(uint32_t BootLoaderStatus){
void (*SysMemBootJump)(void) = (void (*)(void)) (*((uint32_t *) 0x1FFF0004));
if(BootLoaderStatus == 1) {
HAL_DeInit(); // shut down running tasks
// Reset the SysTick Timer
SysTick->CTRL = 0;
SysTick->LOAD = 0;
SysTick->VAL =0;
__set_PRIMASK(1); // Disable interrupts
__set_MSP((uint32_t*) 0x20001000);
SysMemBootJump();
}
}
int main(void)
{
HAL_Init();
__GPIOC_CLK_ENABLE();
GPIO_InitStructure.Pin = GPIO_PIN_13;
GPIO_InitStructure.Mode = GPIO_MODE_INPUT;
GPIO_InitStructure.Pull = GPIO_PULLUP;
GPIO_InitStructure.Speed = GPIO_SPEED_FAST;
HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOC, &GPIO_InitStructure);
while (1) {
if (HAL_GPIO_ReadPin(GPIOC, GPIO_PIN_13)) {
BootLoaderInit(1);
}
}
return 0;
}
What i hope to get after the execution of the firmware is that i can connect to the board with a UART and send commands/get responses from the bootloader. the commands i am trying to use come from here: USART protocol used in the STM32 bootloader.
I don't see and response from the board after connecting with the UART.
Here are some ideas taken from the answers to this question.
HAL_RCC_DeInit();
This is apparently needed to put the clocks back into the state after reset, as the bootloader expects them to be.
__HAL_REMAPMEMORY_SYSTEMFLASH();
Maps the system bootloader to address 0x00000000
__ASM volatile ("movs r3, #0\nldr r3, [r3, #0]\nMSR msp, r3\n" : : : "r3", "sp");
Set the stack pointer from bootloader ROM. Where does your 0x20001000 come from? If it's an arbitrary value, then the stack can clobber the bootloader's variables.
Then there is this alternate solution:
When I want to jump to the bootloader, I write a byte in one of the
backup register and then issue a soft-reset. Then, when the processor
will restart, at the very beginning of the program, it will read this
register.
Note that you need LSI or LSE clock for accessing the backup registers.
Try to avoid using __set_MSP(), as current implementation of this function does NOT allow you to change MSP if it is also the stack pointer which you currently use (and you most likely are). The reason is that this function marks "sp" as clobbered register, so it will be saved before and restored afterwards.
See here - STM32L073RZ (rev Z) IAP jump to bootloader (system memory)
Find your bootloader start address from the reference manual.
Then use the following code.
Make sure you have cleaned and disabled the interrupts before do so.
/* Jump to different address */
JumpAddress = *(__IO uint32_t*) (BootloaderAddress + 4);
Jump_To_Application = (pFunction) JumpAddress;
/* Initialize user application's Stack Pointer */
__set_MSP(*(__IO uint32_t*) ApplicationAddress);
Jump_To_Application();
Please have a look at Official STM32 AppNote as well.

STM32F411: is clearing an external interrupt flag really necessary?

I've bought an STM32F411 nucleo board and now I'm trying to understand various bits and pieces of the HAL. Starting with external interrupts seemed to be a good idea, because the board has a push button which is connected to PC13. So I've set up a simple toggle-the-frequency blinky. The code below is a bit simplified:
#define LED_PIN GPIO_PIN_5
#define BTN_PIN GPIO_PIN_13
static uint32_t blink_period = 250;
int main(void)
{
HAL_Init();
SystemClock_Config();
__GPIOA_CLK_ENABLE();
GPIO_InitTypeDef pinConfig;
pinConfig.Pin = (LED_PIN);
pinConfig.Pull = GPIO_NOPULL;
pinConfig.Mode = GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT_PP;
pinConfig.Speed = GPIO_SPEED_FAST;
HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &pinConfig);
__GPIOC_CLK_ENABLE();
pinConfig.Pin = (BTN_PIN);
pinConfig.Pull = GPIO_NOPULL;
pinConfig.Mode = GPIO_MODE_IT_FALLING;
pinConfig.Speed = GPIO_SPEED_LOW;
HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOC, &pinConfig);
HAL_NVIC_SetPriority(EXTI15_10_IRQn, 0x0F, 0x00);
HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(EXTI15_10_IRQn);
while (1)
{
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOA, LED_PIN);
HAL_Delay(blink_period);
}
}
void EXTI15_10_IRQHandler(void)
{
HAL_GPIO_EXTI_IRQHandler(BTN_PIN);
}
void HAL_GPIO_EXTI_Callback(uint16_t GPIO_Pin)
{
if(GPIO_Pin == BTN_PIN)
{
if (blink_period == 500)
{
blink_period = 250;
}
else
{
blink_period = 500;
}
}
}
When I push the button, an interrupt is generated and the blinky frequency changes from 1 to 2 Hz (or vice-versa). This works as intended, but why? I forgot to clear the pending interrupt flag, so the ISR should be called over and over. The datasheet clearly states that
When the selected edge occurs on the external interrupt line, an interrupt request is generated. The pending bit corresponding to the interrupt line is also set. This request is
reset by writing a ‘1’ in the pending register.
Reading a bit further reveals that this is a bit different for events:
When the selected edge occurs on the event line, an event pulse is generated. The pending bit corresponding to the event line is not set.
However, I'm not setting the button pin mode to any of the GPIO_MODE_EVT_... modes so I'm not using the event mechanism (to be honest I don't yet know what that even is - I just think that I'm not using it. Any hints are welcome).
So somewhere I should have to call void HAL_NVIC_ClearPendingIRQ (IRQn_Type IRQn), shouldn't I? It seems that clearing the flag by software is not necessary, because the ISR is not called more than once per falling edge. I've added a breakpoint in HAL_GPIO_EXTI_Callback to verify this.
Edit
As mentioned in the comments, the flag clearing code is in ST's implementation of the GPIO interrupt handler:
void HAL_GPIO_EXTI_IRQHandler(uint16_t GPIO_Pin)
{
/* EXTI line interrupt detected */
if(__HAL_GPIO_EXTI_GET_IT(GPIO_Pin) != RESET)
{
__HAL_GPIO_EXTI_CLEAR_IT(GPIO_Pin);
HAL_GPIO_EXTI_Callback(GPIO_Pin);
}
}
This handler needs to be called by the actual ISR (which is done in my code) and it clears the pending flag corresponding to the GPIO_Pin argument. So I have to write an ISR which sorts out which flags are set, and call HAL_GPIO_EXTI_IRQHandler for each, which in turn calls my HAL_GPIO_EXTI_Callback(uint16_t GPIO_Pin), again with the pin as an argument. For each external interrupt, the pin number would get checked some ~3 times (in the ISR, in the handler and in the callback)!
If that is the solution, I want my problem back.
You don't have to call HAL_NVIC_ClearPendingIRQ (IRQn_Type IRQn) because the pending bit in the NVIC will be cleared automatically upon entering HAL_GPIO_EXTI_IRQHandler.
The HAL_GPIO_EXTI_IRQHandler() implementation clears the pending bit in the peripheral, not in the NVIC. If it didn't clear the pending bit by calling __HAL_GPIO_EXTI_CLEAR_IT(GPIO_Pin), then the handler would be called again and again. The point is that you must distinguish between the interrupt pending bit in the peripheral and the pending bit in the NVIC.

Cortex M-0: Simple external interrupt

I'm trying to set up an external interrupt on my LPC812 uC. I've made the following code
#include "LPC8xx.h"
#define RLED 7 // red LED
bool pause = false;
void PININT0_IRQHandler(void)
{
pause = !pause;
}
int main(void) {
LPC_GPIO_PORT->DIR0 |= 1<<RLED; // set pin as output
LPC_GPIO_PORT->SET0 = 1<<RLED;
NVIC_EnableIRQ(PININT0_IRQn);
while (1)
{
if(!pause)
{
LPC_GPIO_PORT->CLR0 = 1<<RLED;
}
}
}
But it isn't working. Am I missing something?
I'm not familiar with NXP MCUs.
But at least place break piont inside PININT0_IRQHandler, to understand clearly that interrupt is not generated.
Also it will be nice to clear interrupt flag inside handler.
Some peripherals need interrupt permission in peripheral registers in addition to NVIC setup.
Did you setup input pin somewhere?
Your code only initialize GPIO 7 pin as output.
