My application has one external Interrupt IRQ7 every second (no timer).
A trap occured up to 3 times in a day, in OsIntCtxSw (address 200DEF0 in the map) offset 0x1A (Faulted PC = 0200DF0A)
During three days the same application without IQ7 interrupt had no trap.
I added below the trap text, IRQ code and application tasks.
Could anyone help me, it's the first time I trap in NetBurner asm code.
Thanks,

The interrupt code is very simple

/**************************************/
/**************************************/
INTERRUPT(ISR_RTC,0x2700)
{
sim.eport.epfr|=0x80;// IRQ7
bIT_RTC=true;
isr_cpt++;
if ((isr_cpt & 0x01)==0)
sim.gpio.podr_timer &= ~PDDR_PODR_DTOUT1; //Set Led to 0
else
{
sim.gpio.podr_timer |= PDDR_PODR_DTOUT1; //Set Led to 1
isr_cpt=1;
}
}
/**************************************/
and the init code is:
SetIntc((long)&ISR_RTC,7,4,4);
/**************************************/
/**************************************/
Application tasks:
- Main task processing I2CMaster, RS232 out on UART0 (Mtty) and UART2
- UDPMulticast task processing commands on I2C , UART and SPI

Odds are that is not where the problem is. Rather, the interrupt code or some other part of your app is causing memory corruption, and the program counter just happens to end up there.

Your problem is due to using a non-maskable (level 7) interrupt with the standard interrupt macro. The standard interrupt macro interacts with the OS which is not allowed for level 7 interrupt routines. There is an explanation and example of how this works in the interrupt application note:

thanks Larry,
But there is a mistake somewhere:
I use IRQ7 but if take a look at my SetInc(.....,7,4,4.) you could see that I use the vector 7 with level and priority to 4.
I made an un-maskable interrupt (0x2700) but the same code with IRQ5 in place of IRQ7 works with no trap, why??

thanks for the link,

The external interrupts have no configurable IRQ level or priority. They are fixed to their labeled level... IRQ7 = level 7 and IRQ5 = level 5. The external IRQ pins also have a fixed mid-priority, between prio 3 and 4. This is documented in the eport chapter of the Freescale manuals.

Thanks Larry,

I learned something about IRQ7 : it works like NMI!
So I would rather use other interrupts (IRQ1, 3 and 5).
Thank you for the lesson,
