You have to write somethings yourself. Let me note some hints 1.- uClinux only provides irq drivers to manage its supported devices and the system tick, both of them are items of p u b l i c interest, so a resources framework is developed to be programmed/tested/published 2.- uClinux (as standard Linux) provides the typical "request_irq" symbol to register/unregister a custom isr into the interrupt vector table. It means the uClinux OS coders gives you software to "store cpu/stack context, the jumptomyservcice and the restore the stuff". Nothing else.. you have to be quite confidence about the performance of your "interrupts" environment, maybe some uClinux policies are not suitable for you stuff, this is your choice/exam.. 3.- The external interrupts of any machine are not (of course) public/common domain. So any software is/could be provided. You should read the chapter 14 related with the EDGE port where whatever MCFxxxx maps the external interrupts (Motorola policy). Before write any code line you should understand how this tricky matter works and what what/how you need to program it.. 4.- The Chapter 13.(Interrupt controller) of your processor describes how the vectors are mapped into your machine same as other MCF machines, which register/flags you should clear/set and so forth.. As general policy you should use the drivers set ported to uclinux-MCFxxx as examples about how to install your own stuff/application > > Is it that when these pins are configured in GPIO mode then interrupt > handlers are not called? but i can notice the output on my hyper terminal > when ever i ground the irq7 pins on my board. the o/p is like this - > > "GPIO value = 7 > status = FFFF" > > When i ground irq6 pins on my board, then o/p is very similar - > "GPIO value = 6 > status = FFFF" 5.- Review also the pin assignment for the edge port sure you have to verify/review the function. Any modern/respectable micro-controller-processor have multiplexed functions mapped into the i/o pines and their never are like the application need. > > > What exactly is happening, if these pins are configured in GPIO mode by > uclinux, then where from these o/p is coming.

This is my current understanding of this stuff, may i be wrong for any appreciation please guys apply the corrections if any Best regards.. _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by [email protected] To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
