<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I understand from TSC691E Users manual issue I, sections
3.7.17 / 3.8.5 / 3.8.5.4 that: a trap causes the processor to clear ET; a
synchronous trap when ET=0 results in an error condition that forces a reset;
and that RETT automatically sets ET back to 1. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Am I right to believe that the RTEMS generic ISR “_ISR_Handler()”
sets ET to 1 just before calling the user-trap-handler, and then clears it
again just after it returns? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I guess that the end result of all this is that normally for
most of the processing time of a trap handler, a synch trap occurring will not
result in a processor error...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>(I refer to the TSC691E Users manual instead of the TSC695F
manual due to the far greater detail given in the former). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
