RB-Interrupt problem when occuring the second time

[_olaf_]

Hi,

I have a small problem with my program. In this program I want to switch different voltages on. With the RB_Interrupts I want to check if everything is working correct.
When the program starts from a power-on reset everything is ok. The initialisation is working and the outputs are set. If I make an interrupt on the RB-Ports (e.g. RB4) then the controller goes into the RB_ISR(). After that the controller goes to the next sleep operation but does not wake up again when an RB-Interrupt occurs. I can do what I want, but there is no possibility to wake it up. Does somebody have an idea where the problem could be.

Code description


In the
RB_isr(char i) {} -> I get the portnumber of the RB-Interrupt and printout a corresponding errormessage.

Initialisierung() -> makes the initilisation of the PIC

Fehlermeldung(int e) -> print out an errormessage

Power_On_PIC() -> check the voltage of the PIC (Voltage regulator has a errorflag which is set at voltages below 5V, used PIC is 16LF84)

Power_On_Wandler() -> switching on the other voltages

Code:
#include "CCD_SPG1.h"
#int_RB

void Fehlermeldung(int e);

Do _not_ enable the global interrupt inside the ISR. This is a 'no no' on the PIC.
You don't need to disable interrupts either.
Basically,when an interrupt occurs, the _hardware_ disables the global interrupt flag. This flag is automatically re-enabled, on the return from the global interrupt handler, _when the instruction completes_.
This prevents interrupts interrupting themselves, and prevents recursive calls to the handler routines (which the chip does not support, having no software stack).
Now if you re-enable the global interrupt flag, inside the interrupt handler, you have killed this protection, and an interrupt can now occur inside the interrupt handler. This will destroy the contents of the registers, and result in values being destroyed.

Hi,

I tried it with deleting the Code for disabling the interrupts. But it was the same effect. When I debug the program in single step mode, something strange happens.

When I come to

if (INT_RB!=1)
{
RB_ISR(x);
}

in main, the TRISB is changed to 0xFF (all input)

when I continue stepping through the program in the RB_isr at the case command

RB_ISR()
{
...
switch (i) {
Case 0x10: OUTPUT_B(0x00);
Fehlermeldung(2);
break;
Case 0x20: OUTPUT_B(0x01);
Fehlermeldung(5);
break;
....
}

the TRISB is changed to 0x00 (all output)

So it's clear that the controller doesn't react at the second PortB-Change. But what is the reason for this? Another problem is the following. I have an updatet version (Version 3.232) of the Compiler. If I want to compile it with this Version I get the message that the RB_ISR()-description has changed and it generates an error.

Any idea what's the problem with this?

I checked the program with the updated compiler verison (3.232) but it is still the same behaviour. When I go into the RB_ISR() the TRISB is changed and so the RB_ISR can not react on a PortB-Change. I searched in the datasheet of the controller and the examples here in the newsgroup, but I didn't find something about this problem. Does anybody have a explanation for this?

(1) You should *not* actually call the rb_isr() routine yourself, as you do in main(). The interrupt handler will do this when you use the #int_rb directive.

(2) I would now the #int_rb directive to just before the isr routine.

(3) Remove the interrupt enable / disable code (as stated by Ttelmah).

(4) Add a "default" clause to your switch() statement.

(5) You cannot pass an variables to an isr, because of item (1).

(6) Are you testing for individual bit changes, or only specific bit combinations of PORTB ? For individual bit changes, you will have to use the bit_test() command.
