I am trying to activate the reset button on the SAM7X demo board within FreeRTOS.   Here is the code I use, that is called in AT91F_LowLevelInit(): //configure system interrupts at highest priority level AT91F_AIC_ConfigureIt(AT91C_ID_SYS, AT91C_AIC_PRIOR_HIGHEST, AT91C_AIC_SRCTYPE_EXT_NEGATIVE_EDGE,( void (*)( void ) ) vNRST_pin_interrupt); //clears NRST pin interrupt reader = AT91C_BASE_RSTC->RSTC_RSR;        //enables NRST pin interrupt AT91C_BASE_RSTC->RSTC_RMR = (0xA5000000 | 91C_RSTC_URSTIEN);         //enables system interrupt AT91C_BASE_AIC->AIC_IECR = (1 << AT91C_ID_SYS); ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Then I connect the peripheral clock to the system : AT91C_BASE_PMC->PMC_PCER = 1 << AT91C_ID_SYS; I added this line in static void prvSetupHardware( void ) in main.c. I also wrote my interrupt function that is supposed to reset the processor: void vNRST_pin_interrupt(void) {     AT91C_BASE_MC->MC_RCR = AT91C_RSTC_PROCRST;     } But it seems the interrupt function is never called. What am I forgetting or doing wrong?

Not sure this is really a FreeRTOS question, best ask it on the at91.com forum.

I have posted it on at91.com forum, but I still think it is FreeRTOS related since I am trying to add this functionality to FreeRTOS lwip demo.

My code works fine when I don’t start FreeRTOS scheduler… I will check to see that my interrupt is enabled when RTOS is running.

Now I only enable user reset with: AT91C_BASE_RSTC->RSTC_RMR = (0xA5000000 | 91C_RSTC_URSTEN); at startup.  When I compile without starting scheduler, it works.  Any idea what could block the NRST pin functionality?

It looks like my problem is related to the lwIP task…

Finally, I found out it was the EMAC_Init function that posed problem. When changing the NRST output length, the function overwrites the other config bits (allowing user reset by NRST input).  I have simply masked the register and insured that only the reset signal length was modified and it works. I am posting this in case someone else has the same problem…

Thanks for taking the time to post the solution. Regards.
