Assert macro in rom driver library.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C123GXL

Hi,

Just starting out with TIVA. I see that there is a provision to catch illegal arguments to APIs in Drivel Library using ASSERT macro and #define DEBUG.

My question is what happens when you want to use the driver available in the ROM. Do they have provision for error checking?

Thanks,

Vivek

Hello Vivek

As far as I believe, the same is not built in the ROM. So you need to be sure when compiling the code for ROM.

Hi Amit,

If it is not built into the ROM does that mean that I don't have to worry about _error_ function if I'm not using ROM library?

I am asking this because the example project "interrupts" for ek-tm4c123gxl uses ROM library but still provides a _error_ function. None of the documents explicitly mention that ROM driver library does not support ASSERT macro. It's a little confusing.

Hello Vivek,

The __error__ function is valid for driverlib API's when being called for Flash. If directly referenced to ROM, then it would not be called.
