[ECOS] AT91 on EB55 DSR is started only once

[Marcel Ovidiu Achim <marcel.achim@ovidius-ib.de>]

Dear all,

I am experiencing some weird behaviour when trying to setup a timer
interrupt on an EB55 board.
I attached the relevant code below.
What happens is that the DSR is started only once after init from main,
and then never again, although the
timer interrupt is shown to occur (on an ascilloscope).
By accident I discovered that this can be fixed if I insert the
following line in the DSR:

HAL_READ_UINT32( AT91_TC1 + AT91_TC_SR, i );

Although the read seems to have no impact of the content of the SR
register,
it seems to magically have the DSR activated again.
I could live fine with that, but then other external interrupts seem to
considerably bring down overall system performance.
What am I overseeing here? Can anyone please help?

Thanks,
