Hi!
I’m trying to write a small program in Assembly to blink with LED(s) without a CPU loop, but using WFI (wait for interrupt), which should save some energy.
The code is here: Blink-all-GPIO-timer_asm.
By some reason, it doesn’t work: after running, all GPIOs are always ON.
I use SparkFun RED-V thing plus, if it is important. I use PlatformIO for compiling and flashing.
Could you please help me to understand, why the program doesn’t work?
Maybe it was bad idea to use WFI and MTIMECMP?
Not a bad idea at all @Vazhnov it should work.
What first initializes t2 at line 94, first time through Main_loop? Seems like unspecified, to me.
There is some discussion of wfi here
Also, it’s good you remembered to use .balign 4 for each entry in the jump (vector) table, lines 30-54. You could equivalently prefix the table with .option push and then .option norvc, following the table with .option pop. That way you don’t have a whole bunch of .balign’s to repeat; you’d need only one of them before the push. Of course, it would make assembled code longer–extra credit for analogue forcing use of only compressed, 16-bit jump instruction forms, albeit with limited jump range.
