Software reset on F28M36

Isaac Abbott

Hi All,

I would like to issue a software reset on the M3 and have the C28 and M3 both restart. I modified the blinky_dc example as a proof of concept, but it seems that only the M3 comes back from reset and hangs on IPCMtoCBootControlSystem(CBROM_MTOC_BOOTMODE_BOOT_FROM_FLASH);

Do I need to do something different to cause the c28 to come up correctly?

Thank you for your insights.

looks like this issue is closed in mails - below is the solution.

call SysCtlHoldSubSystemInReset(1) - this will hold C28 under reset, next call SysCtlReset(), which resets M3. Now when M3 boot ROM runs it brings C28x out of reset when the system is ready, otherwise C28x comes out of reset and starts running C-boot ROM before system is ready.

Best Regards

I have a similar situation with the F28M35. I intend to use the m3 to reset both cores as a means to jump from runtime code back to bootloader code.

Very infrequently, the M3 locks up in what appears to be a hard fault isr. I was able to connect with the emulator once. It looked like a systick exception had been declared before the hard fault isr was called as a result of trying to execute and undefined instruction.

I've been searching everywhere to see what could cause this. Before i do the soft reset, i call this:

SysTickWaitHundredthSec(6); // let usb finish

USB_DevBulkTerminate(); // end usb

SysTickTerminate();

IntMasterDisable(); // make sure all interrupts are disabled before jumping

SysCtlHoldSubSystemInReset(3); // hold in reset the C28 core and analog peripheral

SysCtlReset(); // reset the m3

while (1);

I can run 20000+ cycles with a test app before i get the hard fault. I am running out of ideas. I found some Cortex-M3 notes that say you should issue a "DSB" command to wait for the write buffer to drain. Is this necessary?

Can you think of any reason i could end up in a hard fault? It actually looked like the program counter was in args_main when the systick exception occurred. I have the default handler there. I guess the exception was escalated into a hard fault. This is confusing since the systick should not have been running at that point in the code. It just came out of a reset condition!

Here are screen shots of the registers at the time of the hard fault. I was running standalone for the test. Once i saw the lockup, i connected to the emulator, then connected to the m3 while making sure i didn't run gel files.

Looking back on it i wish i had a capture of the stack, but i don't. I know the xpsr that was thrown on the stack indicated ISRNUM = 0x3C.

i was finally able to fix this. It was a usb interrupt asserted while initializing the FlashApi. the

USB0DeviceIntHandler is flash and was called by a ramfunc -- Fapi_setupFlashStateMachine() -- as part of flash init.

It seems like disabling interrupts is the way to go since i can't put the entire usb lib in ram.
