Hi, I am developing a firmware for EZUSB FX based board. I am facing a small problem. I am not able to initialize a Global variable in my firmware. Even though I assign the global variable with 0 initial value, But the variable does not take that value. I am using SMALL memory model for my development. my declerations looks like this :- BYTE GlobalCount = 0; and in my sof() I am using this variable and updating it and reusing it again in next sof(). Please advise .. Rahul Gupta
On Analysing the problem further, This is the behaviour I have observed .... If I remove the code line viz. glbCount = glbCount + 0x10; in the Code attached below. The glbCount is initialized to 0. But if this line of code is there then I my glbCount can start It seems this particular line of code is corrupting the Initial value. If it is ... what is the alternate way to achieve the desired functionality ??? TIA Rahul Gupta static BYTE glbCount = 0; // global //Interrupt Routine void ISR_Sof(void) interrupt 0 { BYTE i = 0; for (i=0;i<16;i++) { IN8DATA = glbCount; } glbCount = glbCount + 0x10; EZUSB_IRQ_CLEAR(); USBIRQ = bmSOF; // Clear SOF IRQ }

Please Advise !! static BYTE glbCount = 0; // global //Interrupt Routine void ISR_Sof(void) interrupt 0 { BYTE i = 0; for (i=0;i<16;i++) { IN8DATA = glbCount; } glbCount = glbCount + 0x10; EZUSB_IRQ_CLEAR(); USBIRQ = bmSOF; // Clear SOF IRQ }
The code you have posted #includes files I don't have, calls functions that aren't defined and runs on hardware I don't have. You need to strip the program right down to a main function, ISR and variable declarations. If that still doesn't work, post it. If it does work, add your other code back in bit by bit until the problem reappears. You will then have a pretty good idea where the problem lies.
This code is taken from an example supplied with the Cypress development toolkit. I have only changed the code in Sof() function. The main functions etc .. is the minimal code for initialization and support for a ISO endpoint and bringing up the board. Thanks Rahul
