M7 r0p1 port

Posted by cman12345 on January 26, 2016

Hi,

I was trying to find out more information about what M7 errata the pendSV handler is working around. I couldn't locate the errata doc and was hoping someone could point me to it. For reference I was looking at the "Errata workaround" lines below. Thanks!

~~~~ void xPortPendSVHandler( void ) { /* This is a naked function. */

__asm volatile
(
"	mrs r0, psp							\n"
"	isb									\n"
"										\n"
"	ldr	r3, pxCurrentTCBConst			\n" /* Get the location of the current TCB. */
"	ldr	r2, [r3]						\n"
"										\n"
"	tst r14, #0x10						\n" /* Is the task using the FPU context?  If so, push high vfp registers. */
"	it eq								\n"
"	vstmdbeq r0!, {s16-s31}				\n"
"										\n"
"	stmdb r0!, {r4-r11, r14}			\n" /* Save the core registers. */
"										\n"
"	str r0, [r2]						\n" /* Save the new top of stack into the first member of the TCB. */
"										\n"
"	stmdb sp!, {r3}						\n"
"	mov r0, %0 							\n"
"	cpsid i								\n" /* Errata workaround. */
"	msr basepri, r0						\n"
"	dsb									\n"
"   isb									\n"
"	cpsie i								\n" /* Errata workaround. */

M7 r0p1 port

This was something found by our testing. As I recall (?) the basepri update does not take effect immediately, and it was necessary to place the "cpsid i" "cpsie i" instructions around the update to basepri to ensure modifying its value has an effect by the end of the isb instruction. You will find those additional asm instructions are the only difference between the M7r0p1 port and the standard M4F port.

Regards.
