How do I initialize the stack for banked memory mode?

Started by codewarr2000 August 25, 2004
All, How do I initialize the stack for banked memory for the 9S12DP256 in
Start12.c?
and, is it the same then for the 9S12DJ64 cpu?

Compiler line has:
-CpPpage=RUNTIME -Mb -D_HCS12 In Start12.c: Is not the stack being set with this macro?

void _Startup(void) {
#endif
/* purpose: 1) initialize the stack
2) initialize the RAM, copy down init data etc (Init)
3) call main;
parameters: NONE
called from: _PRESTART-code generated by the Linker
or directly referenced by the reset vector */
for(;;) { /* forever: initialize the program; call the
root-procedure */
if (!(_startupData.flags&STARTUP_FLAGS_NOT_INIT_SP)) {
/* initialize the stack pointer */
INIT_SP_FROM_STARTUP_DESC(); /*lint !e522 asm code */ /* HLI
macro definition in hidef.h */
}
Thanks in advance.



What you show below is that startup code using the startup descriptor
generated by the linker.
Have a look into the macro
INIT_SP_FROM_STARTUP_DESC
(defined in hidef.h)

You will see something like
#define INIT_SP_FROM_STARTUP_DESC() __asm LDS _startupData.stackOffset;

The stackOffset is where you have it defined in your linker .prm file
(either with STACKSIZE or STACKTOP).

This is the same for all derivatives. Erich > -----Original Message-----

I have it in my PRM file STACKSIZE 0x0080.
CPU bean Do Not Generate PRM file.

I had origionally defined the stacksize in the cpu bean, generated the
PRM file, then turned off autogeneration.

Now if I change the PRM file to STACKSIZE 0x0100 I am getting the
problem listed in Yahoo message 8114 <timeout> when trying to load
(that RAM problem was fixed."

I was having a problem with an Interrupt calling code in another bank
and not returning correctly - it was going out to another bank and
running off. Metrowerks replied that I had not set the stack pointer.
I had and have always set it in the PRM file as 0x0080. So I thought
that the stack was not large enough, so this is why I am trying to set
a larger size.

0x2308 and 0x2387 are the bounds in the map file set for stack.

So what exactly is the problem? Is it the stack size? How does one
calculate a good stack size?

If I need to increase the stack size, do I need to do it from the CPU
bean and generate a new PRM, then include my modifications back in,
then turn off auto generation?

If you call a banked routine from non banked/interrupt function: make sure
that you call it with the right calling convention. Is your banked function
correctly called with a CALL instruction? And your called banked routine is
returning with a RTC instruction?
This may be your problem.
