GPIO interrupts in DSP56F827

Started by atid2 November 19, 2002
Hi,

I am trying to use the GPIO interrupt mechanism but I have a problem:
Immediately after I enable the pin interrupt - the interrupt occurs.
It happens every time I try it, no matter what the polarity is or
any other parameters I configured (I think I tried them all).
The inputs are connected to buttons that show a consistent value of
logic '0' (about 0.8v), when not pushed.

Does anybody have an idea of what might be the problem?

Thank you in advance,

Ari



Hi Ari,

In the Motorola SDK on-line documentation, I did a search for "GPIO interrupt",
and I found the following information. You can start the on-line documentation
as follows:
Start
Programs
Motorola
Embedded SDK 2.5
Help and Documentation

In "Contents", go to:
Motorola Embedded SDK
DSP56800/800E Processors
Manuals
DSP56F826/827 User's Manual
8 General Purpose I/O
8.3 GPIO Interrupts

This explains (in quite a bit of detail) just how the GPIO interrupt system
works. You should refer to the User's Manual for the specific processor you are
using, if it is not the DSP56F826/827.

Also, as a general rule for any type of interrupt problem like this, I usually
do one of the following things:

1) Immediately before enabling the interrupt, perform the procedure that is used
to clear the interrupt source. This usually involves reading from or writing to
some of the peripheral registers, and is explained in the User's Manual in the
section that describes that type of I/O (Section 8 in the above example for the
DSP56F826/827 User's Manual General Purpose I/O).

2) Use a flag or a counter, to ignore the first interrupt from the device.

I hope this information helps to solve your problem.

Hi all,

After a few weeks of breaking everything around me, I found the
problem with the GPIO interrupts:
I'm using port C on the DSP56F827 and it's pins are multiplexed.
Apparently the SRD(GPIO C0) and SRFS(GPIO C1) pins were connected to
a stereo CODEC in the EVM , which triggered the interrupts (although
the pins were configured to be controlled by GPIO and not the
peripherals).
Only after I physically disconnected R49 and R50, the interrupt
stoped from reoccurring.
It amazes me how motorola can sell a product with such a problem -
but I guess I'm a newbie.

Cheers,
Ari
