Changing interrupt priorities for CAN on LPCXpresso54S018

[brian_ungar]

I have a LPCXpresso54S018 card. I have code that use the MCAN driver that comes with the SDK. I am also using FreeRTOS.

When the driver gets an interrupt, it invokes a callback function that calls xSemaphoreGiveFromISR. Within this function there is a check that ensures that the priority of the interrupt is greater than or equal to configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY. I am failing this check and crashing the program.

I see documentation in various locations that indicate that the priority of an interrupt has to be changed when using FreeRTOS on the LPCXpresso54S018 card. However, I see no documentation telling you how. In particular, how can I change the priority of the CAN0 and CAN1 interrupts on my board? Is there an SDK function call or something in the MCAN driver?

Hello,

You can config CAN0 and CAN priority through Interrupt priority register 10 and 11:

Is there a function somewhere that provides the capability to change these registers?

Hello,

/**
\brief Set Interrupt Priority
\details Sets the priority of a device specific interrupt or a processor exception.
The interrupt number can be positive to specify a device specific interrupt,
or negative to specify a processor exception.
\param [in] IRQn Interrupt number.
\param [in] priority Priority to set.
\note The priority cannot be set for every processor exception.
*/
__STATIC_INLINE void __NVIC_SetPriority(IRQn_Type IRQn, uint32_t priority)
{
if ((int32_t)(IRQn) >= 0)
{
NVIC->IP[((uint32_t)IRQn)] = (uint8_t)((priority << (8U - __NVIC_PRIO_BITS)) & (uint32_t)0xFFUL);
}
else
{
SCB->SHP[(((uint32_t)IRQn) & 0xFUL)-4UL] = (uint8_t)((priority << (8U - __NVIC_PRIO_BITS)) & (uint32_t)0xFFUL);
}
}

Thank you.
