RE: [ECOS] EDB7312(ARM720T) interrupts

["Aaron Case" <aaron dot case at dynazign dot com>]

Andrew,

The interrupt named in the cyg_interrupt_create() call is from the
hal_platform_ints.h file and is an onboard UART to the ARM 720T core of the
EDB7312 microprocessor. To my knowledge all that is needed is to program the
syscon1 register to enable UART1 and to enable interrupts.  I have verified
this is done by the eCos system startup routines with my ICE.

Is there something else that I am missing??

Thanks,
Aaron

I don't see anywhere in your code where you program the serial chip to
actually enable it to generate interrupts. Also, does eCos provide a
serial driver for this chip? If so, that driver may already have the
interrupt.
