I am working to make a bootloader using interrupts and I came across this line in one of the examples provided by CCS (bootloader.c)
#build(share_interrupts)// allows both programs to receive interrupts
does anyone knows exactly what did does?
I was not able to find any references in google or the manual
Thanks in advance for any help.

Interesting and I'm curious too !
The bootloader would be THE program running and once it's completed, then the loaded program would be THE running program...
so.....
only one or the other CAN run
not sure how they could share interrupts..... |

Interesting. What version of CCS C are you using?
I have searched every file in the latest version and cannot find that line
and there is no reference to that in any documentation I can find.

| hmm... historically, CCS examples were prefaced as EX_program.c so I wonder if it's another compiler or someone's modified version of the CCS bootloader ? |

I specifically checked ex_bootloader.c and that line is not in it that I could find.
That looks interestingly like some stuff in QNX that I have worked with.

That's in the API.ZIP archive with the examples.
It helps handle the re-vectoring (actually done by the #INT_GLOBAL in
this code). Creates a separate vector table, that can be called by this
routine. So it doesn't do the sharing for you, just makes it easier by
creating the separate table. |

thank you for the input, I am bit confused.
if it allows for multiple vector tables, why does the code seem to be using the vector table from the application? from lines 31- 35 of the example.
wouldn't this break the bootloader's interrupts if the application is corrupted?
where did you find the information about share_interrupts? |

If you look at the bootloader, it creates the jump to the offset ISR handler:
| Code: |
#int_default
void default_isr(void) {
if(app_running)
jump_to_isr(LOADER_END+5*(getenv("BITS_PER_INSTRUCTION")/8));
}
|
So it jumps to the ISR handler _inside the application code_.
The 'shared_interrupt' flag can be done in other ways. If you specify
the address for the interrupts in the build, the compiler does the same
relocation. It is just a 'shorthand' for this. |
