Function

POPM peforms unexpected memory access and can cause VMAIFG to be set

Description

When the POPM assembly instruction is executed, the last Stack Pointer increment is followed by an unintended read access to the memory. If this read access is performed on vacant memory, the VMAIFG will be set and can trigger the corresponding interrupt (SFRIE1.VMAIE) if it is enabled. This issue occurs if the POPM assembly instruction is performed up to the top of the STACK.

Workaround

If the user is utilizing C, they will not be impacted by this issue. All TI/IAR/GCC pre-built libraries are not impacted by this bug. To ensure that POPM is never executed up to the memory border of the STACK when using assembly it is recommended to either

1. Initialize the SP to
a. TOP of STACK - 4 bytes if POPM.A is used
b. TOP of STACK - 2 bytes if POPM.W is used

OR

2. Use the POPM instruction for all but the last restore operation. For the the last restore operation use the POP assembly instruction instead.

For instance, instead of using:


POPM.W #5,R13



Use:


POPM.W #4,R12
POP.W R13



Refer to the table below for compiler-specific fix implementation information.
