TimerInit

csopko — Thu, 25 May 2006 01:04:47 GMT

I'm having a problem with the TimerInit that I installed with the PE bean selector. I am running the debug simulator. It doesn't appear that the TimerInit is being fired. I've set a break point at TI1_OnInterrupt in Events.c, it never breaks. I've used functionMsg=TI1_Enable(); and functionMsg=TI1_EnableEvent();to enable the timer. The functionMsg variable returns ERR_OK from both calls but the TI1_OnInterrupt never occurs. I am also using the AD1_OnEnd interrupt which operates fine. Can you tell me if there are any known problems with the TimerInit or what else I can check to find out what I might be doing wrong. Thanks. The target is a MC9S08GT16CFB.

It is a problem of debug simulator probably, if you run the HW debugger, it should work correctly. Please try it.

Jan,

I'm not sure what you are referring to 'HW debugger'. If you mean a hardware platform, I don't currently have hardware available.

From your reply, apparently this is a known problem with the simulator.

Is there a list of known simulator debug problems/limitations posted any where?

Thanks.

I meant debuugging on real hardware like e.g. demo boards or real chips.

For more info about simulator limitation please contact Freescale.
