TI Stellaris lm3s811evb (ARM Cortex-M3) : Systick interrupt not working
I've tried to create a small project that uses the CMSIS as base library.
The problem is that the SysTick_interrupt_handler() doesn't get executed when the systick event is detected in QEMU. Furthermore, it seems asif QEMU gets stuck in an endless loop. QEMU doesn't respond to Ctrl-C on the command line and the GDB session also stalls. 'kill -9' is the only way to stop QEMU.
It seems asif the initialisation of the NVIC works fine. I've traced the function calls in QEMU as follows:
stellaris.c: stellaris_init() - Perform generic armv7 init: armv7m_init()
armv7m.c: armv7m_init() - Create and init the nvic:
nvic = qdev_create(NULL, "armv7m_nvic");
env->nvic = nvic;
qdev_init_nofail(nvic);
- Configure the programmable interrupt controller:
Call: arm_pic_init_cpu()
qemu_allocate_irqs(arm_pic_cpu_handler)
- Initialise 64 interrupt structures.
The following call sequence is observed when the systick event occur:
armv7m_nvic.c: systick_timer_tick(): set pending interrupt
armv7m_nvic.c: armv7m_nvic_set_pending() for irq:15
arm_gic.c: gic_set_pending_private(): GIC_SET_PENDING(15,)
arm_gic.c: gic_update() - Raise IRQ with qemu_set_irq()
irq.c: eqmu_set_irq() - Call the irq->handler
-- I assume the irq handler is 'arm_pic_cpu_handler()',
since that was passed as the parameter when
qemu_allocate_irqs() was called in ...
arm_pic.c: arm_pic_cpu_handler() - After evaluation, call cpu_interrupt()
exec.c: cpu_interrupt() is called.
The tools that were used during the testing of this project:
GCC: Codesourcery ARM eabi 2010q3
QEMU: Checked out on 31/12/2010 - Last commit: 0fcec41eec0432c77645b4a407d3a3e030c4abc4
The project files are attached, for reproducing of the errors.
Note: The CMSIS wants to perform byte accesses to the NVIC. For the Cortex-M3, unaligned 8 bit and 16 bit accesses are allowed. The current QEMU implementation doesn't yet cater for it. As a work around, updated versions of
arm_gic.c armv7m_nvic.h armv7m_nvic.c is also included.
Launch project with: go_gdb.sh
Attach debugger with: arm-none-eabi-gdbtui --command=gdbCommands_tui
(s = step, n = next, c = continue, Ctrl-C = stop, print <variable> to look at variable contents)
