[U-Boot-Users] bug in at91rm9200 interrupt.c [udelay()] ?

[Mirco Fuchs]

hello,

i'm porting u-boot to the csb637 board from cogent.

I think i found a bug in the udelay (); function in file interrupt.c (at91rm9200).

Assume the following C code:

...
start = get_timer(0);

/* some code */

udelay(1500)     // delay of about 1500us
next = get_timer(start);
...

what we expect is that the value of next holds the difference between next and start in milliseconds. This works fine without the udelay() function between the get_timer() function calls. But in udelay() the global variable timestamp is reset to zero and so there is no longer any relationship between next and start. The effect will be that any time measurements will fail.

I allready looked in some other interrupt.c files, but the udelay() function is handled in a similar way.

Maybe i'm wrong with my assumption, but i don't think so. I'm very interested in your answers.


Regards

Mirco
