How to interpret this Xtensa exception info?

505 Views Asked by At

I am debugging on a Xtensa board. But I don't have enough knowledge or reference materials to interpret below exception info.

Could anyone familiar with Xtensa arch shed some light? Or point me to the docs explaining the Xtensa registers.

I only have a xtensa_lx7_data_book. Still digging into it...

Some findings so far:

  • A0:return address
  • A1: stack pointer, aka. SP
  • PC: Program Counter
  • PS: Program State (I guess)

According to the value of registers PC and EXCCAUSE the CPU attempted to execute code at address 0x1 and couldn't fetch an instruction from that address.

All registers mentioned in the exception info are the core xtensa registers and are described in the xtensa ISA book.
