Porting memory test utility : target does not start anymore

Hi,

We were using Tasking EDE and we moved to Keil µVision3 and I am

trying to port Memory test utility which can be found

http://www.tasking.com/support/c166-classic/AN019-12_v8.ZIP

from tasking to keil.

I made the code assemble but my target does not start anymore.

Some explanations :

A

_mem_test assembly routine (see attached memtest_keil.a66) is called from startup code (see attached STARTa66) to test RAM memory locations. When complete, this test stores the result code into _error_code and returns to startup normal path.

Note that _error_code will be later accessed from C (Since _error_code is declared as const in my C file, startup ram clear won't affect it).

What happens :

- If my _mem_test call is commented in my STARTa66 file, my target starts as usual without any problem.

- If I uncomment _mem_test call in my STARTa66 file, my target does not start or seems to reset.

Here the code I comment/uncomment :

MOV DPP0, #0

MOV DPP2, #PAG C166_DGROUP

CALL _mem_test

So, in fact, I think I may not configure ST10 as it has to be to make this _mem_test call pass... I am not so familiar with DDP configuration, I have tried to push/pop registers before/after calling this _mem_test routine but did not work...

I have attached my STARTA66 and memtest_keil.a66 files. For TASKING original files, you will find them

http://www.tasking.com/support/c166-classic/AN019-12_v8.ZIP

(same link as in top of this email)

Any help from an St10 expert will be appreciated...

Thanks for your time !

Pierre

PS : My platform is an ST10276 home based mainboard.

Hi again,

I made some corrections on my code :

- added some push/pop before/after my mem_test call in my STARTa66

- Saved DDP2 register and configured it (DPP2 = 60) to access _error_code variable that I forced to be located at 0xF0000 (page 60)

- refreshed my software WDOG regularly in my mem_test routine

And the result is :

- It seems to work on Keil IDE simulator (I can reach jump to main routine) without any ''access violation'' warning in the output...

- It still does not work on my target which does not start.

From the two attached files (which represent all the stuff before entering C routines : main, etc...),

if I

comment the CALL _mem_test instruction, my

target starts

and

if I

uncomment the CALL _mem_test instruction, my

target does not start

I can't understand what happens...

Thanks a lot for your help !

Pierre
