I though by default MQX would have to have the vectors in ram. However, I was reading a note about bootloaders and it talked about setting an option in user_config.h to move the vectors from rom to ram. Could not find this option in user_config.h. So are vectors moved by default or what?
Any help?
I have an application that needs a short 1ms timers and so I need to directly access a timer ISR. It works now but I am woried about after bootload process.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Barber,
The MQX_ROM_VECTOR definition by default has been set to 1 to have the vector table in ROM/Flash. Setting it to 1 in the user_config.h will over ride the default setting in the twrk60n512.h header in the BSP (this example is for Tower K60 but each BSP has a unigue header in the BSP-->BSP Files folder).

For having a direct interrupt, you need to stick your timer vector in the table (in the same folder listed above and in the vectors.c file). Then have your ISR have the prefixed __declspec(interrupt). This case is for running vector table from ROM/Flash.
If setting up the vector table for RAM, then your code can insert the vector directly in to the vector table...reference this post:

Hope this helps.
