Is it normal for interrupt initialization to trigger the ISR? RESOLVED- Thanks

CarlC

While stepping through in debug mode, I find that changing the mode register to set WKPEND causes a triggering of my ISR in my initialization segment.

mov W,#$19

I even tried initially biasing my pins high (pulled up pins not connected to ground) in case seeing a low pin right after activating interrupts was causing a problem without effect.

In normal operation, my ISR uses the state of the WKPEND register (swapped through W) to determine the cause of an interrupt. I have problems when the ISR is called outside of the normal means. I guess I could put in a work around by setting a flag in the main body so the ISR is skipped through if the main hasn't been reached yet, but I'm wondering if there's a proper way to avoid running the ISR after making interrupts available during initialization.

Hi Carl,
In your intialization code you need to clear the WKPEND register before you enable the wake ups following a sequence such as;

;------------------------ INITIALIZATION ROUTINE -----------------------

Initialize
        ;Edge Detection Configuration

    [b]    mov     W,#$19            ;Allow Wake-Up Pending access
        mov     M,W
        mov    !rb,#%00000000        ;Clear Wake-Up Pending (WKPND_B)[/b]

        mov    W,#$1A            ;Allow Wake-Up Edge configuration
        mov    M,W
        mov    !rb,#%11111111        ;Set port B bits 0-7 to falling edge

        mov    W,#$1B            ;Allow Wake-Up Enable configuration
        mov    M,W
        mov    !rb,#%11110000        ;Set port B bits 4-7 to normal, bits 0-3 to Wake-Up Enable

        mov    W,#$1E            ;disAllow Pull-up configuration
        mov    M,W                
        mov    !rb,#%11111111        ;Port B bits 0-7 without pullups

        mov    W,#$1F            ;Allow Direction configuration
        mov    M,W
        mov    !rb,#%11111111        ;Set port B bits 0-7 to input direction

        mov    W,#$19            ;Allow Wake-Up Pending access
        mov    M,W
        mov    !rb,#%00000000        ;Clear Wake-Up Pending (WKPND_B)

does this answer your question?

Thanks mojo,

that was exactly my problem. I forgot to clear all the interrupt flags before enabling the interrupts.
