Detecting a interrupt within HEW

Posted by Sivakumar Mohan at June 28. 2008

Hi Everyone. I would like to know how to detect an interrupt that occurs in the target controller from HEW.

This depends on which processor you use and which tools you use for debugging (E6000, E10A-USB, E8a, PC7501, ...)?

Basically HEW cannot detect any interrupts, because an interrupt signal is an internal signal of the processor. It cannot be detected externally. But HEW could detect the effect of an interrupt like the jump to the interrupt service routine.

Hi Frank, Thank you for your reply. I am using the HTS design contest board and the HEW ver 4.03 which I received along with the kit. Could you tell me how to detect if there is a jump to the ISR

The only way to do it is with a TRAP or a breakpoint. This breaks execution of the program. HTS will detect this, and you program can actually restart the target - but it does stop the MCU for a short time.
