C Program To Count Numbers and Display Using LEDS

This document summarizes an experiment examining the execution of an interrupt service routine (ISR) in a C program on a microcontroller. It discusses how interrupts work by triggering an ISR in response to an event. The C program is compiled and run, toggling LEDs and incrementing a counter when a button is pressed. The ISR sets a flag to indicate when it is called. Register values and stack contents are examined before and after the ISR to understand its execution. A flowchart outlines the program flow of turning LEDs on/off, checking for the button press, and displaying the counter value.

Introduction:

In this lab exercise the c program has been compiled and examined the
execution of interrupt service routine.

Technical Discussion
Interrupts:
An interrupt is a signal generated by the software or hardware which
indicates an event that requires an attention by the processor. To service an
interrupt, interrupt service routine (ISR) is called.
Interrupt Service Routine (ISR):

An interrupt service routine is a routine that invokes the hardware in


response to an interrupt occurred by an event. ISR handles the interrupt and
returns the status to the processor.

5) The return address is same after servicing the interrupt. The return
address is 0x080007F1.
The address before servicing interrupt is 0x0800007F1

The address after servicing interrupt is 0x0800007F1, which is same.

2) Software Project
The C program is developed using keil compiler. Interrupt service routines
has been used as per the requirements provided. First all the leds are off,
then blue led switched on after random amount of time. Then the program
checks for push button continuously and also increments the counter value.
If the button is pressed the ISR gets activates and the flag isr_status is
updated in the interrupt service routine. After that the count value is
displayed using 3 leds for 5ms. The following is the flowchart.

Conclusion
The C program is compiled and analyzed the execution of an interrupt. I am
able to understand how an interrupt works in real time applications.

}
int main(void) {

pSW = gpio_get(P_SW);
__enable_irq();
while (1) {
//Turning off Leds
leds_set(0, 0, 0);
//clearing the counter

count=0;
// resetting the flag
isr_status=0;
// delay for random time
randomTime=(rand()%10);
delay_ms(randomTime*30);
// Turn on one LED - blue
leds_set(0,0,1);
while(isr_status==0){
gpio_toggle(P_DBG_MAIN);
pdbgMAIN = gpio_get(P_DBG_MAIN);
pSW = gpio_get(P_SW);
count++;
}
leds_set(count & 1, count & 2, count & 4);
//saving to memory
*address=count;
delay_ms(5000);
}
