AW: pc686: --enable-rtems-debug not working

[Jan.Sommer at dlr.de]

Hi Joel,

Thank you for the hint.
It worked and the testsuite runs through again now.
I attached a patch for the master branch.

Best regards,

   Jan

Hello,

if I build the pc686 BSP with --enable-rtems-debug activated I can't run any of the testsuites examples, but get the following error:

It seems to stem from rtems/bsps/i386/pc386/clock/ckinit.c:165:

> bsp_interrupt_vector_enable( BSP_PERIODIC_TIMER - BSP_IRQ_VECTOR_BASE );

because "BSP_PERIODIC_TIMER - BSP_IRQ_VECTOR_BASE" equates to 0xFFFFFFE0, but the subsequent assert on bsp_interrupt_is_valid_vector() only allows vectors between 0 and 16.
The BSP still works with the option disabled, but it makes debugging more difficult.
Does someone has some guidance on this problem. I could remove the assert in bsp_interrupt_vector_enable, but I am a bit hesitant with simply removing things from core files.

I suspect based on the other uses and math that this check is valid but that the calls to bsp_interrupt_vector_enable and bsp_interrupt_vector_disable in pc386/clock/ckinit.c should not be subtracting the BSP_IRQ_VECTOR_BASE. BSP_IRQ_VECTOR_BASE is set to BSP_IRQ_VECTOR_BASE which is used in conjunction with IDT manipulation. The vector passed into  bsp_interrupt_vector_*able directly corresponds to a source on the two i2859s (0-15).

I would try deleting the subtraction in ckinit.c. The interrupt is likely already on so as written it is probably a NOP.

The similar subtraction in btimer.c is probably right because the benchmark timer is installing a raw timer and the math is subtracting from an IDT index.

This is all a remnant from converting to the newer BSP interrupt Framework. Just a nit.

Give that a try. It would be nice to see debug work on the pc386.
