Lpc2000

I found this on the Page from Rowley.

Answer:     
 
You need to have the instruction "ldr pc, [pc, #-0xFF0]" located at 
the IRQ exception vector for vectored interrupts to work.

To do this make sure you have the preprocessor definition 
VECTORED_IRQ_INTERRUPTS defined when you compile the 
Philips_LPC210X_Startup.s file.

This mean i have to define anything before i can use the vic?
Can anybody explain pleas.

thanks mathias

Yes, you have to do 'something' to alter the way in which the startup
file is assembled.  Look at the Philips_LPC????_Startup.s file. 
Somewhere (maybe around line 86) you will find:

#ifdef VECTORED_IRQ_INTERRUPTS
  .word 0xB9205F84                    /* boot loader checksum */
  ldr pc, [pc, #-0xFF0]               /* irq handler */
#else
  .word 0xB8A06F60                    /* boot loader checksum */
  ldr pc, [pc, #irq_handler_address - . - 8]    /* irq handler */
#endif

One way to get VECTORED_IRQ_INTERRUPTS defined is to put, at the top
of the .S file:

#define VECTORED_IRQ_INTERRUPTS

Maybe put that just before:
  .section .vectors, "ax"

If you do it that way, you will want to import the .s file to the
specific project rather than linking to a modified master copy.  Right
click on the file name in the Project Explorer dialog and select
Import.  Put the copy with the other source files for the project.

There is probably a much better way to do this.  At the moment, I
can't find it.

Set it in the preprocessor definitions of the project.

Hallo Richard, thanks for the message. Pleas can you give me a 
detailed description of that. I don't see the point.

When I use the sample code from rowley for the timer irq it works. 
But with der uart code, i have ported, it doesn´t work.

thanks,

mathias

1. Right click the project node in the project explorer.

2. Click Properties.

3. Click the Preprocessor tab (at the end).

4. Preprocessor Definitions is now right in front of you.

What other question?

Paul,

Outstanding!  I had tried that earlier without success.  But then, I
didn't know if it was supposed to work.

I certainly have no desire to change the startup file.

And there i must write 

#define VECTORED_IRQ_INTERRUPTS 1 

or what else?

thanks,

The latest v1.6 release has this capability.

Just:

VECTORED_IRQ_INTERRUPTS

This defines it.  If you want to give it a value:

VECTORED_IRQ_INTERRUPTS=1

Okay, thanks
