AT91/ARM7TDMI. I have a question about dealing with status bits US_TIMEOUT and US_TXEND when they arrive very close together.
I'm using a standard Atmel/ARM IRQ_ENTRY, a handler, and standard IRQ_EXIT to process the AIC COM0 interrupt that either of these generate (see below)
If the interrupt has been originally generated by US_TXEND, but a US_TIMEOUT arrives after we have checked the status bit but before we call IRQ_EXIT, then (although my US_TIMEOUT bit does stay set) the interrupt does not fire again to process US_TIMEOUT. How can I best arrange that I either jump straight back in, or catch both in the same handler ?
The handler looks like :
[call IRQ_ENTRY] { unsigned int status; status = COM0->US_CSR & COM0->US_IMR; if ( status & AT91C_US_ENDTX){ // process end TX } if ( status & AT91C_US_TIMEOUT){ // process end RX } // what if interrupt was generated by ENDTX but TIMEOUT is set by the hardware HERE ? } [call IRQ_EXIT]
IRQ entry and exit are currently :
MACRO IRQ_ENTRY $reg ;- Adjust and save LR_irq in IRQ stack sub r14, r14, #4 stmfd sp!, {r14} ;- Write in the IVR to support Protect Mode ;- No effect in Normal Mode ;- De-assert the NIRQ and clear the source in Protect Mode ldr r14, =AIC_BASE str r14, [r14, #AIC_IVR] ;- Save SPSR and r0 in IRQ stack mrs r14, SPSR stmfd sp!, {r0, r14} ;- Enable Interrupt and Switch in SYS Mode mrs r0, CPSR bic r0, r0, #I_BIT orr r0, r0, #ARM_MODE_SYS msr CPSR_c, r0 ;- Save scratch/used registers and LR in User Stack IF "$reg" = "" stmfd sp!, { r1-r3, r12, r14} ELSE stmfd sp!, { r1-r3, $reg, r12, r14} ENDIF MEND MACRO IRQ_EXIT $reg ;- Restore scratch/used registers and LR from User Stack IF "$reg" = "" ldmia sp!, { r1-r3, r12, r14} ELSE ldmia sp!, { r1-r3, $reg, r12, r14} ENDIF ;- Disable Interrupt and switch back in IRQ mode mrs r0, CPSR bic r0, r0, #ARM_MODE_SYS orr r0, r0, #I_BIT:OR:ARM_MODE_IRQ msr CPSR_c, r0 ;- Mark the End of Interrupt on the AIC ldr r0, =AIC_BASE str r0, [r0, #AIC_EOICR] ;- Restore SPSR_irq and r0 from IRQ stack ldmia sp!, {r0, r14} msr SPSR_cxsf, r14 ;- Restore adjusted LR_irq from IRQ stack directly in the PC ldmia sp!, {pc}^ MEND
