Re: Interrupts don't interrupt?!

Hi Gerry

Your problem is not with the interrupts but with the BDM port/XTL system in SWIFTX. This system over-rides the interrupts. It totally controls the processor when it wants to do i/o. The best thing you can do to test interrupt operation is to download, remove the BDM, boot and run. This means that you have to test your results through a serial port or some other I/O. While on the BDM interrupts do occur, but not in a timely fashion.
