New message "Interrupt level changed" - why?
PostPosted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 9:46 am     Reply with quote

Hi all,

Chip: PIC18F4620 Compiler: PCWH 4.092

I was using #INT_RTCC HIGH and INT_TIMER3, and everything was compiling like I expected. I was using the TIMER3 interrupt to read the status of several switches on PORTB.

Now I an trying to use the external interrupts to read individual buttons; I'll also use INT_RB to read the upper four bits, and INT_CCP2 to catch button presses on RB3. It's like getting interrupts on all eight RB pins... kind of. Anyway, I an now getting a warning I didn't see before:

WARNING 225 Interrupt level changed EXT:NORMAL=>HIGH

I tried stripping it down to just INT_RTCC and INT_EXT... same thing. So this gives me the warning:

Code:

#device HIGH_INTS=TRUE
...

// This function steps the PWM duty cycle value when Timer0 overflows.
#int_rtcc HIGH
void pwm_tone(void) {
    set_timer0(t0preload);
    set_pwm1_duty(s_table[s_table_idx++ % 8]);
}

#int_ext
void save_button6(void) {
    char x;
   
    if(!input(PIN_B0)) {
        button_state |= 1;
        flags.button_hit = TRUE;
    }
}



and this does not:
Code:
// This function steps the PWM duty cycle value when Timer0 overflows.
#int_rtcc HIGH
void pwm_tone(void) {
    set_timer0(t0preload);
    set_pwm1_duty(s_table[s_table_idx++ % 8]);
}

// Save the state of the six function buttons.
#int_timer3
void save_buttons(void) {
    char x;
   
    x = ~input_b();                     
    if(x) {
        button_state |= x;
        flags.button_hit = TRUE;
    }
}


What am I not seeing?

Read the data sheet.
Key is that INT_EXT, does not have a priority bit.
If _any_ interrupt is set to high_prority, and INT_EXT is used, INT_EXT, will also become a high priority interrupt.

Ah, there we are... "There is no priority bit associated with INT0. It is always a high-priority interrupt source."

Thanks. I can live with that. I guess I overlooked that, as I was seeing priority bits for INT1 and INT2 - must have assumed there was one for INT as well.

It is at times surprisingly 'annoying', but part of the design I'm afraid.....

Best Wishes
