Alright...I am trying to develop a system of my own..
Consider that i am not using any linux kernel...I m writing some
program right from scratch.........
The major steps that i have taken are...
1. Started with a assembly file...
2. Have relocated the interrupt handlers to there respective
positions...The interrupt handlers are written in assembly language...
3. Initialised Decrementer register to get an interrupt after some interval...
4. Jump to some function using
bl <function_name_main>
function_name_main which will have a infinite while loop..
This works fine i.e. the interrupts(decrementer interrupt to be more
specific) work fine...I have initialised serial port to get the
output...
Now, the problem that i am facing....
If in interrupt handler of the decrementer, i make a call to some C
function in some other C file...using the follwing statement...
Dec_handler: /* I have relocated this to interrupt vector address of
decrementer interrupt*/
/*code to print using serial port*/
bla <function_name_handler> /*code to call some function in C file*/
/*code to print using serial port---but i m never able to see this output*/
RFI
This starts creating a problem...somehow we dont return to this code
after the end of the function_name_handler...
Consider the following code for the function_name_handler:
void function_name_handler(void)
{
/*Some action*/
}
So, if its possible for anyone to help me with this...please reply...
Regards,
Sumedh
