MPC5554 divide-by-zero exception on an integer

[schlosserolivie]

Hello,

I am trying to generate an interrupt in case divide-by-zero.

This is working on divide float instruction but not on a divide integer instruction ("divw").

On a divide integer instruction, the result of a divide-by-zero is the maximum value (0xFFFFFFFF).

I do not find any configuration on the processor to force an interrupt. Do some one did it ?

Thanks

Hi Olivier,

Unfortunately, the integer division instructions implemented in the e200z6 core (MPC5554) do not generate an exception when a division by zero is performed.

I just tested integer division (both SPE and non-SPE division instructions) but the result

was the expected one: only the overflow bits get set when a division by zero is executed.

Ok, thank you for your help.
