Hi guys,

I have a problem to test systick using GNU assembler on my STM32VLDiscovery

My assembly code is:

b _dummy

SysTick_handler: @ isr routine

ldr r6, =GPIOC_BSRR

mov r2, #0x300 @ turn on port C9

str r2, [r6]

bx lr

My goal just blink the led in pin C8 in the loop section

and when the systick interrupt is triggered, the pin C9 in set

if there is error, the pin C8 and C9 are blink together.

In the first 1 second everything is running well, means C8 blink successfully

when the systick interrupt is triggered, it should be turning on C9 only

But i always got error (hard fault) , means C8 and C9 blink together ( _dummy loop)

I tried to add this code:

LDR R1, =0xE000ED22 @ Set the PendSV exception priority (lowest)

LDR R2, =0xFF

STRB R2, [R1]

LDR R1, =0xE000ED23 @ Set the SysTick exception priority (lowest)

LDR R2, =0xFF

STRB R2, [R1]

but nothing change.

Does anyone can help me !

Thanks.

I'm not wading through the code, perhaps using a debugger and stepping through it will help you?

Pretty sure if the assembler knows it's in a code segment, you don't have to +1 subroutine/location addresses. Look at what's in the vector table if you DON'T do this, the addresses should be ODD. If they are not, then look at some startup_stm32fxx.s files to see the desired structure, organization, and section/segment definitions.

Also R6 isn't in the register set that the processor automatically pushes in interrupt context, so review that, and use a register that is pushed, or preserve it yourself.

Thanks, for your fast reply

I will follow your advise, and try to fix again

I will post the result later

Actually i don't know how to debug the assembly code using GNU assembler

I just use ST-Link Utility - LiveUpdate facility, and ''Target --> MCU Core'' to debug and to know Micro controller state

The +1 in my vector table is manually adjust to odd for thumb code

i have tried to remove all the +1 in the vector table and the result is no interrupt called,

by removing the +1 , the problem is not solved and my ''dummy loop'' as my indicator also never been called. when the reset button is pressed it should be return my pointer to the _start label, if i remove the +1 the _start label is never been called after the reset button is called.

So i think the +1 in vector table is correct.

i also tried to change r6 to r1 register but nothing change.

moreover, i want to know the process without any interrupt handler,

so i try to remove all the vector table except stackinit and reset, i just leave my vector table to this:

vectors:

.word STACKINIT

.word _start + 1

and the result is same, the blink of c8 (main loop) is running 1 second, ( 1 second is my systick_load value is 8M) and after that all led is off.

so i guess the problem is in systick interrupt event.

here is my reason:

The main loop is running well for 1 sec and then start error, means the error is happened exactly when systick countdown is reached 0.

i just want to know, why there is an error when the system tick interrupt is triggered.

sorry i am a newbie in microcontroller programming, so i need a lot of helps.

Hi Clieve, thanks for your help

but i change my code same as your suggestion, Apply the type and use the R1 on Interrupt handler (I attach my complete code and also the assembler program in zip file)

but the problem is not yet solved

I have the video result

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2WVFK60tDo&feature=youtu.be

The first 1 second everything running well, as you can see, the c8 blinks well

but when the systick countdown reach zero (1 second) it should be call the Systick handler and the c9 start blink, but i got hard fault so the dummy loop is running (c8 + c9 blink together)

Any other suggestion?

Thanks

The part you are using only has 8KB of RAM, not 20KB

Wow ..

Its work perfectly

I did not realize this very basic problem, but you know it

You are very genius

Thank you very much Clive
