printf data abort - (again)

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
