stuck in GBL_init module of DSP/BIOS

Hey all,

I'm getting stuck somewhere in the GBL_init module of DSP/BIOS. I know I get past the part where it calls the USERINITFXN because I am able to turn off leds up until my function calls RET (it's an assembly function). However, when I put code in the BIOS_init function after it calls GBL_init, my code never gets called. Here is the code from GBL_init including where it calls my USERINITFXN function (from gbl.h54):

.if (GBL_USERINIT != 0)
; USERINITFXN below is defined in GBL_config
ssbx cpl ; CPL = 1 for C convention
.if __far_mode
fcall :USERINITFXN: ; (*fxn)()
; the 'fcall' instruction pushes a 2-word
; return address on the stack; the SP will
; be even on C function entry
.else
call :USERINITFXN: ; (*fxn)()
; the 'call' instruction pushes a one word
; return address on the stack; the SP will
; be odd on C function entry
.endif
rsbx cpl ; make CPL = 0 for BIOS environment
.endif

;
; Calling TRC_init from here until there is at trc.cdb file.
;
TRC_init

;
; fill memory using triples (nwords, addr, value) from
; gblinit table.
;

ld #0, b
.if __far_mode
ldx #gblinit, 16, a ; a = far gblinit address
or #gblinit, a, a
.else
rsbx sxm ; so 'ld #K,a' will not sign extend
nop
ld #gblinit, a ; a = gblinit address
.endif

loop0?:
reada *(bl) ; b = nwords
bc done?, beq
add #1, a
nop
reada *(ar2) ; ar2 = address
add #1, a
nop
reada *(ar3) ; ar3 = value
add #1, a
nop
loop1?:
mvkd #ar3, *ar2+
sub #1, b
bc loop1?, bgt

b loop0?
done?:

ld #1, b
.if __far_mode
ldx #GBL_initdone, 16, a
or #GBL_initdone, a, a
.else
rsbx sxm
nop
ld #GBL_initdone, a
.endif
writa *(bl)

.endm

Any ideas on what could be snagging here?

Where is the RET statement that you mention? Don't you need something like:

.if __far_mode
fret
.else
ret
.endif

Also, I hope you're right about DSP/BIOS using CPL set to 1. If it were me, I'd
*save* the state of the CPL bit before changing to C convention, then restore it to
whatever DSP/BIOS wanted it to be.
