I'm trying to create illegal instruction reset.

I'm programming Infineon TC29x Aurix Tricore Microcontroller based embedded system in 'C' language.

I need to set program counter to illegal address, i.e. 0x00FF FFFC. Can this be done with assembly language instructions?
If yes, please instrument assembly language instruction that would set program counter to 0x00FF FFFC while code is running.

 

Not familiar with your setup. Why is it an illegal address?

Because he wants it to be an illegal address. Apparently, an illegal address causes some reset code to be executed and he is trying to manually execute something at an illegal address.

 

You can do something like this in C.

typedef int(*funptr)(constchar*,char);
funptr ShowPopupMessage;

ShowPopupMessage=(funptr) your_address_goes_here; // illegal address

ShowPopupMessage("hello",0); // call illegal address trap
