[F103] USART IRQ fucks with I2C operation - STMicroelectronics Community

Posted on January 07, 2016 at 16:31

NVIC priority group is 0

USART priority is 15

I2C priority is 0

I2C exchanges data 100 times a second for minutes without any missed data or handups, if i activate USART it starts failing after seconds.

//nvic priority settings

NVIC_PriorityGroupConfig(NVIC_PriorityGroup_0);

//usart priority

NVIC_InitTypeDef NVIC_InitStructure;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannel = USART1_IRQn;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelCmd = ENABLE;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = 0x0F;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelSubPriority = 0x0F;

NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure);

//i2c initialisation

void i2c_init(void)

{

GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStructure;

NVIC_InitTypeDef NVIC_InitStructure;

I2C_InitTypeDef I2C_InitStructure;

i2c_error = 0;

SystemInit();

RCC_APB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB1Periph_I2C2, ENABLE);

RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOB | RCC_APB2Periph_AFIO, ENABLE);

/*CLOCK OUT GARBAGE*/

//initialize i2c pins as normal gpio

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_10 | GPIO_Pin_11;

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_2MHz;

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_Out_OD;

GPIO_Init(GPIOB, &GPIO_InitStructure);

//clock out garbage

for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++) {

GPIO_ResetBits(GPIOB, GPIO_Pin_10);

delay_ms(2);

GPIO_SetBits(GPIOB, GPIO_Pin_10);

delay_ms(2);

}

//generate start&stop

GPIO_ResetBits(GPIOB, GPIO_Pin_11); //sda low

delay_ms(2);

GPIO_ResetBits(GPIOB, GPIO_Pin_10); //scl low

delay_ms(2);

GPIO_SetBits(GPIOB, GPIO_Pin_10); //scl high

delay_ms(2);

GPIO_SetBits(GPIOB, GPIO_Pin_11); //sda high

/*CLOCK OUT GARBAGE*/

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_10 | GPIO_Pin_11;

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF_OD;

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;

GPIO_Init(GPIOB, &GPIO_InitStructure);

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannel = I2C2_EV_IRQn;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = 0;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelSubPriority = 0;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelCmd = ENABLE;

NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure);

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannel = I2C2_ER_IRQn;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = 0;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelSubPriority = 0;

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelCmd = ENABLE;

NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure);

I2C_DeInit(I2C2);

I2C_InitStructure.I2C_Ack = I2C_Ack_Enable;

I2C_InitStructure.I2C_AcknowledgedAddress = I2C_AcknowledgedAddress_7bit;

I2C_InitStructure.I2C_ClockSpeed = 100000;

I2C_InitStructure.I2C_DutyCycle = I2C_DutyCycle_2;

I2C_InitStructure.I2C_Mode = I2C_Mode_I2C;

I2C_InitStructure.I2C_OwnAddress1 = 0;

I2C_Init(I2C2, &I2C_InitStructure);

I2C_ITConfig(I2C2, I2C_IT_EVT, ENABLE);

I2C_ITConfig(I2C2, I2C_IT_BUF, ENABLE);

I2C_ITConfig(I2C2, I2C_IT_ERR, ENABLE);

I2C_Cmd(I2C2, ENABLE);

}

am i missing something here?

it is my understanding that i2c should be able to interrupt usart and therefore not be bothered by usart, please help!

What is the error reported by I2C? How do you know it isn't the USART that's the problem? How did you configure the NVIC priority grouping? Try changing the I2C priority to 1.

Thank you for your fast reply.

Priority grouping is 0, I tried changing I2C to 1 but that didn't help. Removing a while(!(USART1->SR & 0x00000040)); from the USART interrupt did however.

I still don't know how that works as how I understand it I2C should interrupt the USART interrupt but I will figure that out later, at the moment it works and that must do for now.

You chose NVIC_PriorityGroupConfig(NVIC_PriorityGroup_0);

The function documentation clearly states,

''When the NVIC_PriorityGroup_0 is selected, IRQ pre-emption is no more possible.

The pending IRQ priority will be managed only by the subpriority.''
