Hi, I'm newbie on keil & I'm trying learn ARM Cortex-M0 from Nuvoton. I confuse how to use interrupt on timer funtion. How i can get interrupt from overflow? I'm familiar before with AVR, on atmel studio for interrupt I just call function
ISR(TIMER1_OVF_vect ) { PORTB |= _BV(0); reti(); }
And how about nuvoton? Help me please..
For any cortex you can search for example to use systick. interrupts on cortex are just like normal functions. very more easier and orthogonal comparing to the avr.
Thanks for your answer. what do you mean about just like normal function ? Are not work on background? I still not understand.
Most processors needs to use some magic keyword (the keyword name depends on compiler) like __irq, __interrupt or similar for interrupt handlers, to tell the compiler to add special entry/exit code to properly save/restore processor state.
But ARM has added extra hardware intelligence in the Cortex chips to make interrupts look like normal function calls. So no special entry/exit code is needed for the interrupt handlers. That also means you can use 100% C code for a Cortex-M3 chip instead of having a need for a startup file written in assembler.
Normal Function, ie no magically entry/exit requirements to save context, or return-from-interrupt
extern volatile uint32_t SystemTick; /** * @brief This function handles SysTick Handler. * @param None * @retval None */ #define TICK_RATE 1 // in milliseconds void SysTick_Handler(void) { // Free running millisecond counter for timeouts SystemTick += TICK_RATE; // 1 ms tick count }
thanks all, I understand now..
