VIC not taking Jump to Interrupt ISR

2004-12-13 by sig5534

This is my first ARM7 project, so I am sure I must be missing 
something really simple, but I sure can't find what it is.

I'm using JetJTAG debugger and the IAR compiler, and a bit of MakeApp 
stuff.  I didn't trust what MakeApp was doing so I put my own manual 
VIC init calls in after their init.  But same problem persists.

I'm trying to get the TIMER-0 INT to fire.  The counter is setup and 
running, and it looks like all of the INT flags go off in the T0 and 
VIC as they should, but yet it never jumps into the ISR routine.

I have TIMER0(VIC-CH4) set to go to IRQ slot-0.

Here's what the T0 and VIC registers look like after it runs:

T0IR	0x0001  (Int Flag Tripped, yes?)
T0TCR	0x0001  (Counter enabled)

VICFIQStatus	0x0000
VICIRQStatus	0x0010 (Int flag tripped for T0, yes?)
VICRawIntr	0x2018
VICIntSelect	0x0020  (I have T1 set to go to FIQ later)
VICIntEnable	0x0070
VICSoftInt	0x0000
VICProtection	0x0000
VICDefVectAddr	0x0948
VICVectAddr	0x095C 
VICVectAddr0	0x095C ( correct ISR adr)
VICVectCntl0	0x0024 (T0 is VIC-CH4, and Enabled)

If I understand this, the INT flag in VICIRQStatus is tripped 
correctly.  So why is it not taking the jump to the ISR adr?

Help! I'm stuck.

Thanks,  Chris.
