Hi,
I'm not sure should I post this to 16-bit microcontrollers area, or here...
Anyway, I am trying to use XGATE to handle the I/O with the SCI module as per app note AN3144. The MCU that I'm programming is M9S12XEP100 and ultimately I am trying to exchange data trough RS-232 between my PC and the evaluation board.
However, I am not able to get the XGATE/SCI to operate even with the Full Chip Simulation of CodeWarrior. Nor am I able to do it with the real chip.
What happens is that the XGATE executes only once the SCI_Thread() interrupt handler, and then just has BRK instructions. Still, I think that there should be at least one '*' character transferred to the terminal window. But the terminal wondow doesn't even appear.
Is there a way to get the XGATE to repeat the SCI_Thread() interrupt handler? And how do I open the terminal window?
Here are the main.c and xgate.cxgate source files (I deleted some of the unused interrupt vectors on xgate.cxgate to keep the text under the 20 000 character limit):
