FaultISR problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C1231H6PM, TMP20

Hi everyone,

I am trying to port code from Stellaris LM4F232H5QD Development Kit to Tiva TM4C1231H6PM on a custom board. However, I occasionally face a FaultISR error. Code  works correctly on the Development Kit.

I am using CCS v5.2.1 and the StellarisWare library.

The attached files are extracted code that involve collecting data from an analog temperature sensor (TMP20).

Problem:

- FaultISR occurs occasionally during program execution, sometimes the program works and runs to completion.

- FaultISR occurs randomly during the return operation from any of the following functions in the code: configureAnalogTemperature(), enableAnalogTemperature(), startAnalogTemperatureConversion(), and readAnalogTemperature(). This is checked via stepping through the assembly code.

What was done:

- Ensure correct port, pin, ADC channel used for the sensor.

- Tried increasing the stack size to 2048 and then to 4096.

- Disabled optimizations by the compiler.

- Ensured that peripherals used were properly enabled with sufficient delay.

- Following registers were checked when fault occurred.

PC and SP: Looks okay to me.

LR: 0xFFFF.FFF9

xPSR: 0x2100.0003, hard fault occurred.

NVIC_CFG_CTRL: 0x0000.0200, Stack Alignment on Exception Entry occurred.

NVIC_FAULT_STAT: 0x0000.0100 or 0x0000.0001, "Instruction Bus Error" or "Instruction Access Violation"

NVIC_HFAULT_STAT: 0x4000.000, forced hard fault occurred.

I can't seem to make out what is wrong even with the info above, with the lines of code causing the fault looking okay. Could anyone kindly suggest how I should proceed?

Regards,

Tian Hao
