Port/pin assignment for multi-pin interrupt

[ToWe_1673171]

Please help!!

   

I've read this thread: http://www.cypress.com/forum/psoc-4-ble/two-interrupts-ez-ble-psoc-cyble-014008-00-pins-p01-and-p04?...

   

Unfortunately, I cannot use that solution because my interrupt must be triggered by both rising and falling edges. Anyway, I manage to use two adjacent pins but Creator doesn't take my pin assignment. According to PSoC Creator User Guide, Page 234: P#[#:#] – Specifies a range of locations where the first # is the port number, the second number is the offset within the port where the MSB of the signal should be placed, and the last # is the offset within the port where the LSB of the signal should be placed.  

   

Therefore, to assign P2.4 and P2.5, I entered P2[5:4] in the Port column of Pin Editor and, the Editor modifies P2[5:4] to P2[4:5] and automatically fills in 30,31 (which are correct pin #'s) in the Pin column. It then pops up an error: Invalid pin assignment. See the attachment 1.png. 

   

Question: what is the correct value to enter in the Port and Pin columns for P2.4 and P2.5?

   

Note: My version is 

   

PSoC Creator  4.0 Update 1 (4.0.0.432)
OS Version: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1
CLR Version: 4.0.30319.1

Please post your code so we can check it.

While I prepare a sample code, I figured out what went wrong.

   

I get the error if I type in P2[5:4] manually. There is no error if I select P2[5:4] from the dropdown list. Lesson learned: use the dropdown for multi-pin interrupt!!

   

Thank you, bobgoar, for reading my question.

I am still stuck.

   

I can configure two contiguous pins by using the dropdown list. However, I actually need to configure 3 pins in my application: P2.2, P2.4, and P2.5, and all three pins must accept Rising and Falling Edge interrupts. The dropdown list does not give me that option, but offers P2[5:3]. I typed manually P2[5:4],P2[2] (as the user guide suggests) but Creator rejects that. 

   

If I select <auto-assign during build> for the port, Creator generates the error

   

E2809: Unable to find a valid placement for pins .... (see error1.png)

   

My last attempt: uncheck Contiguous box in the Mapping tab of cy_pins configuration window, but Creator gives an error:

   

 When interrupts are used, spanning is not allowed ... (see error2.png)

   

I am wondering if Creator has a limit that it doesn't support the assignment of P2.2, P2.4, and P2.5 when interrupt is required. 

   

 The sample code is attached. In this example, place-holding pins are added so only P2.2, P2.4, and P2.5 are available.

   

I appreciate any input that may help.

When the creator says "Contiguous", it means pins with consecutive numbering: Port2:3-5, Port2:4-6, Port2:5-7, etc.

   

Is there any way you can get the interrupt pin to be P2-3 instead of P2-2? Otherwise, I don't see a way to do three interrupts on the same port.

Thanks, e.pratt! I'll take your advice and move P2.2 to P2.3 with jumper wire on my prototype. I'll change the design in the next version.
