Follow up to a previous thread posted last week.
The issue is that my timer interrupt won't work if serial interrupts are enabled, unless the timer interrupt priority is set to high.
As per Erik's request here is the source code:
CKCON = 0x08; /T2/12, T1/12, T0/4, MOVX Stretch 2
Serial Port setup:
void SetSerialPorts(void) { SCON0 = 0x50; PCON |= 0x80; SCON1 = 0x50; EICON |= 0x80; //Set Timer 1 for Baud Generation TMOD |= 0x20; TH1 = 0xF8; //19.2k Baud @ 29.4912 MHz TR1 = 1; //Run Timer 1 TI_0 = 1; TI_1 = 1; RI_0 = 0; RI_1 = 0; }
Timer2 Initialization:
void InitTimer2(void) { timer_flags = 0; timer_tick_count = 0; T2CON = 0x00; RCAP2H = (TIMER_COUNT >> 8); RCAP2L = (TIMER_COUNT & 0x00FF ); PT2 = 1; //Have to set high so it will trigger ET2 = 1; }
Serial ISR:
void Serial_isr(void) interrupt 4 { if ( RI_0 ) RI_0 = 0; if ( RI_1 ) { rx_buffer[ rx_write_cnt++ ] = SBUF1; if ( rx_write_cnt == MAXCOM ) rx_write_cnt = 0; RI_1 = 0; } //__if (RI_1)__ }
Timer2 ISR:
void Timer2_isr(void) interrupt 5 { T2CON = 0x00; timer_tick_count++; if ( timer_tick_count%10 == 0 ) //10Hz clock tmr_sample_adc = 1; if ( timer_tick_count%20 == 0 ) //5Hz clock tmr_update = 1; if ( timer_tick_count%100 == 0 ) //1Hz clock { tmr_seconds = 1; timer_tick_count = 0; } TR2 = 1; }
Can anyone figure out what I've done wrong from this? If you need me to post any other part of the code please let me know.
Thanks, Paul
Mixing the two is usually equal to asking for trouble and debugging nightmares.
Short addition: If one part of your UART handling (e.g. transmit) is interrupt-driven and the other one is polled, then handle both flags inside the ISR. Do not use the actual UART flag for the polled part, but use a bit flag (set in the ISR) that signals the polled part when it can use the UART.
