Hello,
I am using Xilinx MpSoc Ultrascale+ ZCU102.
I want to generate an interrupt when dividing by zero.I read the Cortex-R5 technical reference manual (infocenter.arm.com/.../index.jspThe system control register C1 has the DZ bit which control the generation of Undefined Instruction exception. My SW is running as a standalone on R5-0.The file xreg_cortexr5.h consists the XREG_CP15_CONTROL (the C1 Register Defines) but the DZ bit is not exist there. When I tried to change this bit by myself (using inline assembler code) according to the ARM Cortex-R5 details mentioned above and handle this with my own function, I got a SW interrupt in every cycle of my application. Why the DZ bit is not appear in xreg_cortexr5.h?Why changing its value cause a SW interrupt?
Is there a different way to generate the divide by zero interrupt?
Thanks!
Where did you get xreg_cortexr5.h from? Is it provided by Xilinx?
What mode were you in when you attempted to access the SCTLR? One possible explanation is that you're trying to do it from User mode, you need to be in a privileged mode to access the SCTLR.
Hi Martin,
Thanks for the reply!
The xreg_cortexr5.h is provided by Xilinx (https://github.com/Xilinx/embeddedsw/blob/master/lib/bsp/standalone/src/arm/cortexr5/xreg_cortexr5.h).
I am using the mfcp and mtcp macros for using inline assembler code to read and write the register (https://github.com/Xilinx/embeddedsw/blob/master/lib/bsp/standalone/src/arm/common/gcc/xpseudo_asm_gcc.h).
The read register by mfcp is running OK, but the write register by mtcp cause an exception.
Any ideas?
If the read succeeds, then you can't be in User mode. Does the exception occur on the write instruction or on the instructions that follows?
When I read only the SW running OK.
When I add the write of the register to update the DZ bit value the exception occur on the instruction that follows not on the write instruction.
Can you post the exact value you wrote?As it's not the write itself that triggers the exception, I think you might have accidentally set or cleared some unrelated setting.
The code is:
#define REG_C1_DZ_BIT_MASK 0x80000
iReadValue = mfcp(XREG_CP15_SYS_CONTROL); //Read XREG_CP15_SYS_CONTROL iWriteValue = iReadValue | REG_C1_DZ_BIT_MASK; //Set DZ bit to 1 --> generate an Undefined Instruction exception. mtcp(XREG_CP15_SYS_CONTROL, iWriteValue); //Write to XREG_CP15_SYS_CONTROL iReadValue = mfcp(XREG_CP15_SYS_CONTROL); //Read XREG_CP15_SYS_CONTROL
the values are:
iReadValue = 0xe5187d (First read) iWriteValue = 0xed187d iReadValue = 0xed187d (Second read)
Hi Andy,
Thanks for that!
Any help with my question?
