I am trying to debug my Interrupt routines with gdb but the interrupts dont work while using the debugger.

My current interrupt-routine is just a simple "increment a counter". When running without gdb, I can see that the counter is getting incremented (so my isr works) or when I put it into an endless loop, the execution stops.

When I run my code with gdb, no matter what, the interrupt is never getting handled.

I tried E_USER_INT and E_TIMER0_INT.

Is there any way to make sure that the interrupts are getting triggered in the debugger as well?

I try to use E_USER_INT as a syscall. In some thread I found that there is another function "swi" but according to the current documentation, it got renamend to USER_INT, right?

Yeah, I am trying to implement an operating system on the device.

I am actually using the e_irq_set(0,0,E_USER_INT); but this fails to work while using gdb. e_signal however is a function for the arm and not the epiphany, if I am not mistaken.

Is it possible to trigger interrupts while using gdb and debug their routines?
