Starterware DDR test enhancement

Dear Todd Anderson,
You can also put a while(1) loop in UartEcho project and if someone press ESC key then it should come out from while(1) (i.e break), if it works then DDR test project might affect the UART interrupts.

I did manage to get UART receive interrupts working during the DDR testing, and allow for an exit from the test.
I am now working on doing the same for NAND Flash testing, which is turning into a more difficult challenge.
Setting up the same function call in "NAND_test( )" results in no interrupts for UART RX.

1. I added two function calls prior to DDR_test( ) in main:

//Enable AINTC to handle interrupts. Also enable IRQ interrupt in ARM
// processor.
SetupInt();

// Configure AINTC to receive and handle UART interrupts.
ConfigureIntUART();

DDR_test();

2. Inside DDR_test( ) I added

IntIRQDisable(); // added just before call to get a value for menu.
choice = UARTGetNum();

3. In DDR_test( )
// Banner output...
UARTPuts("\nARM: Starting DDR test: ", -1);

#if 1 // TESTING ESC INTERRUPT
IntIRQEnable();

/* Preparing the 'intFlags' variable to be passed as an argument.*/
intFlags |= UART_INT_RXDATA_CTI;

/* Enable the Interrupts in UART.*/
UARTIntEnable(SOC_UART_2_REGS, intFlags);
#endif

This allows me to see characters input from the keyboard as the test is progressing.

4. If one of those characters is an escape, a flag is set. When the flag is set, I exit the test:

// Test code for ESC:
if (escape == 1)
{
IntIRQDisable();
UARTPuts("\n\n Test Stopped by User ESCAPE",-1);
return 0;
}

I am trying to set up the same thing for NAND_test( ), but so far no interrupts...

Have you created a new project for NAND test or adding NAND test function in exist code ?
The code seems to be fine, it should work for NAND too.

What kind of test you are doing for NAND ?
If its write->read->verify then, don't write anything, inside nand test function just put while(1) loop or some executing dummy things and parallely check for UART character (ESC) , if you able to get the UART char then NAND read/write function could lead to not getting interrupts.
Like try to disable some stuff and see if you able get any interrupts.
