HardwareFaultException thrown after "NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure);"

I'm playing with a modified 'STM IRQ_Channels' example utilising some code from 'toggle_with_CircleOS' in a Circle app to toggle the LEDs.

First time I debugged, I think I saw a HardwareFaultException reported in the disassembly window, as I stepped through the last line of this code block:

Code:

  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannel = TIM2_IRQChannel;
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = 0;
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelSubPriority = 1;
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelCmd = ENABLE;
  NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure);

Code:

Each subsequent time I debug, and at the same place, I no longer get a hardware fault exception, but the debug environment freezes - at a symbol called 'dummy handler' in the disassembly window.

Any suggestions appreciated - I'm a noobie - and going completely up a paddle without a creek!

Re: HardwareFaultException thrown after "NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure);"

You should not:
  1. Change the vector table. CircleOS already manages the vector table in RAM. If you want to add an interrupt entry, use the API.
  2. CircleOS uses the Timer2 irq too. You should at least call the default handler.

Re: HardwareFaultException thrown after "NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure);"

Thanks for the quick reply Francis.

And many thanks for your advice; it's a steep learning curve getting to know a device && an API && C concurrently!

Re Timer 2 IRQ, it's used for the MEMS GPIO isn't it? So if my app doesn't need the MEMS, would it be considered bad practise to reassign/appropriate its timer for my own app? And is this because I'd need to reassign TIM2 back to the MEMS on exiting my app? I know there are plenty of timers without my app using TIM2, but I ask the question anyway for better understanding.

Re: HardwareFaultException thrown after "NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure);"

In the API, there are 2 functions: UTIL_SetIrqHandler and UTIL_GetIrqHandler that allow to modify/restore the original irq handler. In version 3.7, the Timer2 is used for both the MEMS  (SPI) and the audio configuration (I2C for volume, ...). If you don't need any of these feature, just redirect the irq to your own handler, (but restore the original handler when exiting your application).
