Timer interrupt of the Lite 5200 board   
Hello,

what is the interrupt vector of the timer interrupt (IRQ 0 on x86) of the Lite5200 board ?

Best Regards

normaly You can find this out by doing:

pidin syspage=qtime

You should see something...  .... intr:number

You are searching for number.

Re: Timer interrupt of the Lite 5200 board   
Or, in your code

struct qtime_entry *qtp = SYSPAGE_ENTRY(qtime);

timer_intr = qtp->intr;

Re: Timer interrupt of the Lite 5200 board   
Hi Jeevan,

the code 'works'  ... but it returnes an interrupt vector of 0x80000000.
That seems not to be very useful ?

pidin syspage=qtime seems only to work with QNX 6.3.2 .... I'm testing for the first time under QNX 6.2.

Why is the timer interrupt not documented in the Lite5200B BSP ?

Regards

Re: Timer interrupt of the Lite 5200 board   
That's the id for the PPC decrementer.

That said, the build file doesn't seem to document those interrupts...

Sorry, what is a PPC decrementer ?
Can it be used with a InterruptAttach call ?

Re: Timer interrupt of the Lite 5200 board   
The PPC decrementer interrupt is used as the timer interrupt on most PPC
boards.

Yes, you can use it with InterruptAttach();

SYSPAGE_ENTRY(qtime)->intr will always be a useable interrupt id, or 
your system will be really hosed.. :-)

In addition to Colin.
Not that I am a ppc,  despite a ppc-expert, but :-)
