Strange behaviour in TIMER0 ISR

Hi all, I have a problem with the ISR of TIMER0.
I'm using keil uVision2 and my target is SIlicon Laboratories C8051F040.

I've tried to make a very simple project in assembler to use Timer0 ISR (below you will find the relatives code) and it works fine.

If I try to translate this project in C, the ISR is called just a few time (around 10 or 11 times) but after this, it is never called!

But... if, instead of Timer0, I use Timer1, all work fine both in C and in Assembler

I can't understand why?
There is someone wich can help me?

NOTE: Is not important the reload value so i don't set it, and although if I set this value the behaviour not change.
NOTE: Timer0 is a 16-bit timer
NOTE: In the examples below I've hided the not relevant code like oscillator init, port init,...

  • Anyhow in your code you will generate T1 interrupts and you show no T1 ISR, is there one in the assembler and not in the C

    The above is a question in my previous post and the sequence in debugging, be it 'live' or via a forum, is questions and answers till the right question finally emerges.

  • Maurizio,

    Here's something to try: In your C code, disable all the interrupts aside from the one you're checking. For instance, I notice that you're setting both external interrupt sources to enabled. Your C code (or your assembly for that matter) has no handler for these interrupts. If one of those signals toggles, each bit of code will do something that you haven't defined. It could just be that the layout of the C code causes this flaw to be more evident whereas your assembly code eventually gets back to main and continues executing like nothing ever happened.
