Cortex M-0: Simple external interrupt - embedded

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.

PIC16F877 display the result of ADC on LEDs with C language using MPLAB

I used PIC16F877 and my purpose is to choose CHANNEL 4 to display the analogue input AN4 value on PortD leds. The approximate value is about 1V. I wrote a code and however, no matter how I ran my code, there're not reaction with the GPIO monitor.
By the way, do I write ReadADC1() in the while(1){} loop? I tried that, but there's no help. Thanks.
#include <xc.h>
#define LEDs PORTD
#include "prologue.c"
unsigned char ReadADC1(void) {
ADCON0 |= 0b00000010;
while ( (ADCON0 & 0b00000010) );
return ADRESH;
}
main ()
{
// declare variables if any required
TRISA= 0B00100000;
ANSEL=0B00010000;
ADCON0 = 0b11010001;
ADCON1 = 0b10000000;
LEDs=ReadADC1();
//*** your code for initialisation if required
//*** end of your initialisation
//*** your code for the superloop
while (1) {
}
//*** end of the superloop
}
There's no reaction with the GPIO pins monitor. I restarted the IDE many times.
By default all ports are configured as an input. If you want want use a port as an output you had to change the configuration:
TRISD = 0x00;
Another issue:
There is no ANSEL register in this controller, you had to do the selection (digital or analog input) with ADCON1register.

Interrupt handler won't run

I'm working on an stm32l467 and trying to run an ISR when i push the user-push-button. Everything looks to be setup correctly. I have looked at the registers in the debugger (Keil uV) and everything looks good, but when i push the button I end up in the default handler and can't understand why the handler is not running.
Running in the debugger i can see that when i push the button, i get an interrupt-pending (EXTI->PR1) flag, but the code then jumps to the the default handler. I can't see what i'm missing. I know there are easier ways to setup interrupts using the HAL layer, i'm just trying to understand what registers must be accessed from a low-level.
Can anyone suggest a missing step to this?
#include <stm32l4xx.h>
#define DELAY 1
void delay1Hz(void);
bool buttonInterrupt = false;
int main(void)
{
__disable_irq();
/* Configure the clocks */
RCC->CR &= 0xFFFFFF07; //Clear ~MSIRANGE bits and MSIRGSEL bit
RCC->CR |= 0x00000088; //Set MSI to 16MHz and MSIRGSEL bit
RCC->AHB2ENR |= 0x00000001; //Enable PA5 clocks
/* Enable PA0 for output */
GPIOA->MODER &= 0xFFFFF3FF; //Clear GPIOA[5] MODER bits
GPIOA->MODER |= 0x00000400; //Enable GPIOA[5] for output
RCC->AHB2ENR |= 0x4; //ENABLE GPIOC port clk
GPIOC->MODER &= 0xF3FFFFFF; //Clear GPIOC[13] for input mode
RCC->APB2ENR |= 1; //Enable SYSCFG clk
SYSCFG->EXTICR[3] &= ~0x00F0; //CLEAR_BIT the EXTI[13] bits
SYSCFG->EXTICR[3] |= 0x20; //Enable GPIOC for EXTI[13]
EXTI->IMR1 |= 0x2000; //Unmask EXTI13
EXTI->FTSR1 |= 0x2000; //Enable falling edge trigger on pb
NVIC_EnableIRQ(EXTI15_10_IRQn); //Enable EXTI15-to-10 interrupts
__enable_irq();
for (;;)
{
if(buttonInterrupt == true) {
//flash LED's (doesn't get here)
}
}
}
void initTim2() {
//timer 2 code - not causing a problem
}
void delay1Hz() {
//delay code - not interrupt controlled
}
/* This doesn't run */
void EXTI15_10_IRQHandler(void) {
buttonInterrupt = true;
EXTI->PR1 = 0x2000;
}
Never mind: There seems to be some problem with a delay i have with timer-2. It's not using interrupts, so i'm surprised it's causing trouble. But if i take it out and use a different delay, the interrupt from the above code works fine. It's an odd one.

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.

PIC16f877a USART 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

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.
