Causing Virtual Interrupts from the Debugger?

[kiliant3072]

Hi,

I'm wondering whether it is possible to generate a virtual interrupt by writing a value to the appropriate memory location on the 8156. I tried but it only works from inside the program when running on an ADS board and not from the debugger.

The goal is to use TCL to stimulate an interrupt i.e. through a change or mem command. This doesn't work and so I tried to pause the program and use the memory window to set the register in memory. An interrupt is not generated however.

If you have any suggestions on how to cause an interrupt from the debugger I would be glad.

Regards,

Kilian

Answering my own question here I have to say it works now. Just writing to the appropriate GIC register does the trick.
