ECT_TCNT Random in Debugger

Destroy — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:35:13 GMT

Hello,

When I single step my program and watch the TCNT Word in the debugger, it changers by great amounts, like 30,000 steps at a time, even when I assembler step it.

It should change by two steps for each assembler step at the absolute maximum.

I am running 16x32 division through TSCR2 and PTPSR so I would expect the pulses to take many single steps.

What is happening?

My PLL is working fine as I can generate known frequencies on the ECLK pin.

Also this is causing continuous interrupts and the flags are always set.

However when I run it on the processor, it runs nearly as expected, except it is out by a factor of 8 to what my expected period is.

This is my Init routine...

**********************************************************

void ECT_Init(void){
    ECT_TSCR1 = 0x98;      / // turn Counter on and enable precision timer.
    ECT_TSCR2 = 0x04;      // Divide by 16
    ECT_PTPSR = 0x1F;      // Divide by 32
                                            // Bus Freq (80Mhz) Divided by (16*32) = 156,250hz
    ECT_TIOS |= 0x01;        // Set IOS0 as Output Compare
    ECT_TCTL2 |= 0x01;     // Set Output Compare 0 to toggle
    ECT_TIE = 0x01;            // Set OC0 and OC1 to allow interrupts

    ECT_TC0 = ECT_TCNT + 0x0870;   // Load first compare value 216 degrees

}

interrupt void ISR_MakeCrankSignal (void){ // ECT0
    int CmpVal = 0;

    ECT_TFLG1 = 0x01;      // Clear Flag

    if (CAS_Pos == 1){
        CmpVal = CAS_PW;
    }
    if (CAS_Pos == 2){
        CmpVal = CAS_PW*4;
    }
    if (CAS_Pos == 3){
        CmpVal = CAS_PW*2;
    }
    if (CAS_Pos == 4){
        CmpVal = CAS_PW*3;
    }
    ECT_TC0 += CmpVal;
    CAS_Pos = CAS_Pos + 1;
    if (CAS_Pos == 5){
        CAS_Pos = 1;
    }
    return;
}

Okay I realise that I made a mistake with thinking that TSCR2[PR2R0] Multiplied with PTPSR. It is wither one or the other. I have now rectified that error.

However, the TCNT word in the debugger jumps by counts of 30,000 or more each single step of the assembler.

I would think that most assembler instructions only take one or two clock pluses and therefore the TCNT registers should only step by 1 or 2 also, assuming no prescalar. I would think that a prescalr would make you have to do 2,4,8 etc: assembler steps to see a step in the TCNT register.

What Am I doing wrong?

When you single step or stop on breakpoint, TCNT keeps running. Try setting TSFRZ bit and see what happens.

Thank You very much, that was exactly it, that was doing my head in yesturday. It works as expected now.
