TM4C1294KCPDT: TI-RTOS issue with BIOS crash

Part Number: TM4C1294KCPDT

Dear Ti,

I am facing issue with implementing timer with interrupt , when I assigns Timer ISR my code crashes and i.e BIOS() Function gets crash. Please help me to resolve.

I have attached Project. 

Ti RTOS :- tiva 2.16.1.14

Compiler : -GNU v7.2.1 (linaro)

  • When using SYS/BIOS the SYS/BIOS Hwi module should be used to plug an interrupt instead of using a TivaWare IntRegister function. See [FAQ] Can I update the vector table with IntRegister when using TI-RTOS?

  • Dear Chester,

    I am unable to understand this resolution , might it need efforts more from my side, meanwhile, if further steps by step solution for this you have then please share it., so we can move ahead in the project.

  • Hi,

      In your code you plug interrupt vector yourself. By doing this, you corrupt the vector table that is managed by the BIOS. This is what the post Chester was referring to explain. You need to let BIOS handles all the HWI. 

    //
    // Setup the interrupts for the timer timeouts.
    //
    TimerIntRegister(TIMER0_BASE,TIMER_A,Timer0IntHandler);
    IntRegister(INT_TIMER0A,Timer0IntHandler);
    IntEnable(INT_TIMER0A);
    TimerIntEnable(TIMER0_BASE, TIMER_TIMA_TIMEOUT);
    IntMasterEnable();

    Below is an example for TM4C123 setting up timer 2. The BIOS registers the timer vector ledToggle using Timer_create(). You cannot use intRegister(). Please read Chester's reference post again. I think it explains everything.

    Timer_create(2,(Timer_FuncPtr)ledToggle,&Timer2,NULL);
