Hi All, I'm trying to write to the Serial Window #1 at regular interval of time (But not successful yet). To generate the time interval i'm using timer0 of 8051 in 16 Bit Timer Mode 0x01 The values are initialized as shown below TH0 = 0xFF TL0 = 0x00 In the given program below, if I comment all the printf statements It works fine, generates accurate delay as needed (as seen in Debug Session). i.e. TL0 starts incrementing for every clock tick and when it reaches 0xFF, the next clock tick sets the overflow flag which in turn calls the ISR (Interrupt_Service_Routine0), wherein I again set the timer's TH0 and TL0 value. But if I uncomment the printf statements in the program (Func1 and Func2), I don't get accurate time delay (as seen in Debug Session). when control reaches Func1 and passes ahead of printf statement the TH0 and TL0 value changes to 0x06 and 0x52 respectively. As I have understood the timer 0 values should be between FF00 to FFFF (as initialized in the Timer_0_Init and Interrupt_Service_Routine0) Please do correct me if my understanding is not correct
Using Keil IDE uVision2 V2.38a Have selected ,b>Generic->8052 (all variants),/b> in the Options for Target in Project Menu The program is as shown below:

Thanks for your Time and Help
you are calling printf from (a function called by) an ISR, that is an absolute NoNo
Erik
Erik, along with my prevoius question(s) please also let me know why I cant use printf. I'm very new to 8051 and hence any help on this would be great!!. I'm using printf to assist my debugging activity (to see control flow), please do suggest other ways to debug if possible.
Kaleed told me that you cant use printf in the interruption becoz it is not disentrent. and he got a+.
Thanks for the Reply Erik >>and print in the main How will adding a printf in main help me in knowing whether ISR called Func1/Func2 >>.. .. and scope on it. Did U mean to set pins high/low to give suitable indications about porgress of program. Ex: port2pin1 set to high indicates entry in Func1 port2pin1 set to low indicates entry in Func2
Hamed Can U please let me know what changes I need to do in my current code, so that I can generate accurate delays even after having a printf in function(s) called upon by ISRs
so that I can generate accurate delays even after having a printf in function(s) called upon by ISR
where you not told not to do that?
Sorry Hamed while reading your comment I read it as you can use printf and hence have asked the above question. Please discard the same, But However do let me how one can debug a program in keil other can using printf As Erik suggested of using Port pins to indicate suitable conditions, let me know any other possible ways. However i'm not clear about how adding a printf to main will help me in knowing the program flow Thanks for you cooperation

pseudocode in the ISR func1flag = TRUE
in the main if func1flag printf func1flag = FALSE
