1. Have you enabled a clock to the timer anywhere like

RCC_APB1PeriphClockCmd (RCC_APB1Periph_TIM6, ENABLE);

2. Have you named an IRQ handler right?

void TIM6_IRQHandler(void)

{

...

}

3. Have you added the correct startup file to the project?

For instance, ''startup_stm32f10x_hd.s''. Look inside your startup file: can you find a line ''TIM6_IRQHandler'' there?

Attach the application's HEX file.

Yes, I have checked all your points.

And the application works fine when located at 0x0800 0000.

And I have also move the interrupt vector table using:

NVIC_SetVectorTable(NVIC_VectTab_FLASH, 0x8100);

It's so stange.

No I have also found when the MCU receives a byte on UART5 I get a Bus Fault exception (a jump to BusFault_Handler().

I have looked at the memory addresses for these interrupt vectors and they are correct.

I use a STM32F103ZET6 device. Is there any chip errata on this?

Here is the application hex file that I'm experimenting right now to find the problem.

It is located from 0x08008100.

I have scaled away all other code. It only does the following:

int main(void)

{

TIM_TimeBaseInitTypeDef TIM_TimeBaseStructure;

NVIC_InitTypeDef NVIC_InitStructure;

NVIC_SetVectorTable(NVIC_VectTab_FLASH, 0x8100);

// System clocks configuration

SystemInit();

// Enable clocks

//RCC_AHBPeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHBPeriph_DMA1, ENABLE);

//RCC_AHBPeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHBPeriph_DMA2, ENABLE);

RCC_APB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB1Periph_PWR |

RCC_APB1Periph_BKP |

//RCC_APB1Periph_SPI2 |

//RCC_APB1Periph_SPI3 |

//RCC_APB1Periph_CAN1 |

//RCC_APB1Periph_USART2 |

//RCC_APB1Periph_USART3 |

//RCC_APB1Periph_UART4 |

//RCC_APB1Periph_UART5 |

//RCC_APB1Periph_TIM2 |

//RCC_APB1Periph_TIM3 |

//RCC_APB1Periph_TIM4 |

//RCC_APB1Periph_TIM5 |

RCC_APB1Periph_TIM6

//RCC_APB1Periph_TIM7 |

//RCC_APB1Periph_I2C1

, ENABLE);

RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOA |

RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOB |

RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOC |

RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOD |

RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOE |

RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOF |

RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOG |

//RCC_APB2Periph_USART1 |

//RCC_APB2Periph_ADC1 |

//RCC_APB2Periph_ADC2 |

//RCC_APB2Periph_ADC3 |

RCC_APB2Periph_AFIO, ENABLE);

// Enable CAN RX0 interrupt IRQ channel

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannel = TIM6_IRQn;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = 0;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelSubPriority = 0;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelCmd = ENABLE;

NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure);

// ========================================================================

// Configure TIM6

//

// Generate a timer interrupt 6 times per period

// Time base configuration

TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Period = 59999; // Period 60000 = 3.3333 ms

TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Prescaler = 3; // Divide 72MHz with 4 = 18MHz

TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_ClockDivision = TIM_CKD_DIV1 ;

TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_CounterMode = TIM_CounterMode_Up;

TIM_TimeBaseInit(TIM6, &TIM_TimeBaseStructure);

// Clear interrupt flags

TIM6->SR = 0x0000;

// TIM IT enable

TIM_ITConfig(TIM6, TIM_IT_Update, ENABLE);

// Enable timer

TIM6->CR1 |= TIM_CR1_CEN;

}

If i disable the last row (not enabling timer 6) it doesn't fail. But as soon as I activate the timer 6 a Usage Fault exception occurs.

Dear SirM,

Your trouble are due to the fact that your application start boundary is not multiple of 0x200 : ''0x08008100''. Please move it to be at

''0x08008200''.

Have a look on our

http://www.st.com/internet/com/TECHNICAL_RESOURCES/TECHNICAL_LITERATURE/PROGRAMMING_MANUAL/CD00228pdf

: Page 133 :

''you must align the offset to the number of exception entries in the vector table.

The minimum alignment is 128 words'' , word is 32-bits that means 128 x 4 = 512 Bytes .

This is mainly due to the Vector table size of our High-density devices

Cheers,

STOne- Your STM32 Moderator.

Your TIM6 interrupt doesn't seem to do much, just increment a RAM variable and leave. It does not appear to actually clear any interrupt, so it will get stuck there endlessly as it repeatedly tail-chains.

Be aware also that SystemInit() is already called before it executes main()

08008354 SUB16 TIM6_IRQHandler:

08008354 B480 push {r7}

08008356 AF00 add r7, sp, #0

08008358 F240 0300 movw r3, #0 ; $0

0800835C F2C2 0300 movt r3, #8192 ; $2000

08008360 681B ldr r3, [r3, #0]

08008362 F103 0201 add.w r2, r3, #1 ; $1

08008366 F240 0300 movw r3, #0 ; $0

0800836A F2C2 0300 movt r3, #8192 ; $2000

0800836E 601A str r2, [r3, #0]

08008370 46BD mov sp, r7

08008372 BC80 pop {r7}

08008374 4770 bx lr

Translates roughly to :

int foo;

void TIM6_IRQHandler(void)

{

foo++;

}

Thank you very much. I will try that tomorrow.

I have not used high density STM32's until now so I was unaware of that.

Learning all the time.

In the real application I do in fact have a:

TIM6->SR = 0x0000;

, at the entry of the interrupt handler.

I managed to scale away too much when I posted my test code. 😉

And the counter was just to see if the interrupt handler had activated.

When I look at the function header for the NVIC_SetVectorTable() function in misc.c in ST Libraries it says:

@param Offset: Vector Table base offset field. This value must be a multiple of

0x100

.

There should be some note about this pitfall here?
