How to handle GPIO interrupts using StdPeriph_Lib

Working with STM32F303K8 at the lowest level where I'm writing to the registers directly. Try to follow generic statements in STM documents to handle a high2low transition on a GPIO PB4 input pin. These are the instructions I feel I need to do for the docs.

//interrupts

//EXTI registers. Only set ones that are needed.

SYSCFG_EXTICR2 |= BIT0; //select source pin PB4 for the EXTI4 external interrupt

EXTI_IMR1 |= BIT4; //assumming MR4 is EXTI4. Set to not mask

EXTI_EMR1 |= BIT4; //assumming MR4 is EXTI4. Unmask event

EXTI_FTSR1 |= BIT4; //assumming TR4 is EXTI4. Failing edge

If this code all I need and correct?

I also need an interrupt handler. Again from examples and online searches this is my handler.

void EXTI4_IRQHandler(void) {

if((EXTI_PR1 & BIT4) != 0) {

EXTI_PR1 |= BIT4 ; //clears interrupt

} //determines if set

GPIOB_ODR |= BIT3; //toggle test points for scope

GPIOB_ODR &= ~BIT3;

}

When running and PB4 going high2low at ~1K rate the handler does not appear to be hit. Even putting a breakpoint at the 'if(EXTI..' does not get hit.

Any suggestions or directions to get a low level GPIO handler working.

Thanks,

Randy

EXTI_EMR1 |= BIT4; //assumming MR4 is EXTI4. Unmask event

No, you want to unmask *interrupt* so use IMR rather than EMR.

I won't check the MUX setting in SYSCFG. A common error is forgetting to enable SYSCFG clock. Also the pin may need to be set as digital input in GPIO (it should work also when digital output or AF, but this is the simplest setting).

Also,

        EXTI_PR1 |= BIT4 ; //clears interrupt

don't use RMW here, write directly 1, the PR register is rc_w1 for a good reason (RMW may inadvertently clear other bits - not relevant for your test case but it's a bad practice which may backfire later when the application grows or code is reused).

  GPIOB_ODR |= BIT3; //toggle test points for scope

  GPIOB_ODR &= ~BIT3; 

Better use BSRR.

Thanks JW.

My code is:.

EXTI_IMR1 |= BIT4; //assumming MR4 is EXTI4. Set to not mask

EXTI_EMR1 |= BIT4; //assumming MR4 is EXTI4. Unmask event

Your comment 'use IMR rather than EMR.' indicates my code should be (???):

EXTI_IMR1 |= BIT4; //assumming MR4 is EXTI4. Set to not mask 

//EXTI_EMR1 |= BIT4; //assumming MR4 is EXTI4. Unmask event

     <--- commented out

I tried this but my 'void EXTI4_IRQHandler(void) {' is still not getting hit.

Also the pin is setup as digital input. I can poll it and model its input level to another output pin. So I feel the pin is okay. 

Thanks for your comments on BSSR. This is on my list once I get the interrupt working.

Check and confirm the setting in SYSCFG. Note my comment above. Registers readout in debugger is often helpful.

Make sure SYSCFG clock is enabled

Enable in NVIC

Make sure you have correct linkage with the vector table

If using C++ use extern 'C' void EXTI4_IRQHandler(void) { }

Look at the SPL examples, then convert to register level

JW,

Thanks. The SYSCFG  was not set. Once enabled the 

SYSCFG_EXTICR2, 

EXTI_IMR1, and 

EXTI_FTSR1 are now set.

I'm toggling the pin and the handler is still not getting set. I've even tried 'EXTI_SWIER1 |= BIT4;' (verified set using viewer) to force an interrupt. Again the handler is not getting hit. When I say hit I'm running in the normal mode AND in in single step mode and the handler code is not getting hit.

Any more ideas?

Thanks...

Clive's above.

Would have been my recommendation, too.

The initialization of the user push button for the discovery examples (SPL) uses an Exti interrupt.

Clive,

Thanks for the suggestions. Totally missed the SYSCFG clock until JW mentioned it.

I'm using Keil Uvision and a simple 'C' project. You mention the NVIC. While reading the docs I've seen this mentioned. To setup/use and interrupt do I have to configure the registers I've mentioned plus registers in the NVIC?

I'm assuming the linkage in the vector table statement refers to my handler code. If yes then I'm to sure WHERE to look to find the 'correct' handler. I'm using the Standard Lib. 

Thanks for answering with the suggestions.

Everyone,

I'm using the STM32F303K8 part and looking at the EXTI example code in STM32F30x_StdPeriph_Examples. I see 'void EXTI15_10_IRQHandler(void)' and 'void EXTI9_5_IRQHandler(void)'. Is there some documentation that explains these? Is there one for EXTI4? What headers/c files do I need in my project to have access to the handler for EXTI4.

Thanks for any direction.

Randy
