Post problem with the pic
Hi!

I somehow have a strange problem that I' dont understand...

I'm trying to enable the timer.. the code is from brans tutorial
but somehow it raises no interrupt..

in my case freq = 100;

Code:
void init_timer(int32u freq){
    int32u divisor = 1193180 / freq;
    int8u l = (int8u)(divisor & 0xFF);
    int8u h = (int8u)( (divisor>>8));
    outportb(0x43, 0x36);
    outportb(0x40,l);
    outportb(0x40,h);
    kprintf("Timer initialized! Low: %h High: %h Total: %h", l, h, divisor);
}


this is my code....

I also tried:
Code:
    int8u h = (int8u)( (divisor>>8) & 0xFF);


and this is the output:

Timer initialized! Low: 00000037 High: 0000005D Total: 00005D37

so this seems correct...
any ideas?

Two things,
1. Do you have a working printf function?
2. Did you register a function in the IDT to handle the interrupt? In my case I have a function called timerHandler() that increments a variable called tick.

thanks for your answer.
I already got it working, I just forgot to enable interupts after the setup of my own table...

;)
