Re: Interrupt problem with UART0

2005-08-31 by xjag74

Hi Karsten,

yes I have a default handler, that is not the cause.
In the meanwhile I learned that it isn't really an interrupt problem.
I have a function which is called by a timer-ISR. That function 
starts the UART transmission by writing the first byte to the THR. 
The UART-ISR should then do the rest. The problem is that the 
function called by the timer-ISR isn't really always called. When I 
put an additional function call (something different for debug 
issues) then the function will be called savely every time.
The problem is not the timer-ISR (I observed this with an osci and a 
toggled debug-pin). I think there is a coherence with the long calls 
I use or with globals or with the optimization levels or all these 
things together. I guess I have to observe some more things tomorrow. 
The debugger isn't very helpful cause I experienced that it affects 
the behaviour of that things...

Thats all I have now
regards
Detlef
