Hi all, In the process of learning ADI's assembly language, I've stumbled on what I think is a bug in the simulator software that shipped with my EZ-KIT (I have release 3.3, version 2.30 of the software). In the SHARC 2106x user's guide, chapter 3.6.6 "Status Stack Save & Restore", there's the following passage: "Note, however, that the FLAG 3-0 bits in ASTAT are not affected by status stack pushes and pops; the values of these bits carry over from the main program to the service routine and from the service routine back to the main program." I've written a timer ISR that toggles the FLAG2 bit in ASTAT and I've managed to blink the FLAG2 LED on and off...exciting!!!! (I must remember to get out more often). Unfortunately, this same code fails in the simulator because upon returning from the ISR, the ASTAT stack is (apparently) popped and my FLAG2 bit gets (incorrectly) reset to its previous (pre-interrupt) state. I have three questions: 1) Who maintains the simulator? (I'm hoping it's Bittware instead of ADI...I doubt that I would have any luck getting ADI to fix the simulator; I don't imagine that it's a high-priority thing for them). 2) Anybody seen a newer, fixed version of the simulator available somewhere? 3) Better yet, is the source code available? I looked around on Analog's FTP site and found updates of some of the other tools, but saw no update for the simulator. Thanks in advance, Rick Armstrong |
