Hello,
I've problems with the printf() routine. I receive frames over the ethernet in a very short intervall. If I received a frame I set a flag in the ISR.
void ethernet_interrupt(void) __irq { unsigned int status; AT91PS_EMAC pEmac = AT91C_BASE_EMAC; status = pEmac->EMAC_ISR; if (status & AT91C_EMAC_RCOM) /* Receive complete */ Emac_Receive++; // clear receive status register pEmac->EMAC_RSR &= ~(AT91C_EMAC_OVR | AT91C_EMAC_REC | AT91C_EMAC_BNA); AT91C_BASE_AIC->AIC_EOICR = 0; /* End of ISR */ }
In the main routine I ask if the flag is set -> if it is set, I use printf() to see via the usart that I get a new frame...
printf("h");
The problem is that I always get a data abort within the printf() routine..
Could it be that the ethernet frames came to close together (in a short time) so that the printf() routine has not finish to transmit the last character?
And after the ISR the printf() routine don't know what to do / what to send -> data abort??
If the printf-argument is much bigger - it is often so that I only can transmit one or two letter - but not the whole word...
e.g.
printf("hello world\n");
I only transmit "hel" - that's all...
best regards Johannes
Didn't you show the failure point a couple of lines before the point where you added the test?
Do you think you should test if the pointer is valid before - or after - the point where you know that your application fails?
What do you think your probabilities are of reaching this if statement, if the application has already failed?
