I am trying to make systime.c work in mthomas' latest demo.  systime.c
is from the EFSL demo, simply adding systime.c to the makefile,
including the header, and calling systime_init does not work.  What
happens is that the chip is reset every millisecond for about 3 seconds
and then it hangs up completely.

Is this the instruction that points to the FIQ function?  What is going
on here?  Address of the FIQ function loads here?
ldr         r0 , [r8, #AIC_FVR]

Here is a section from the startup assembly file. (where above
instruction came from)


        .section   .reset
        .text
        .global _startup
        .func   _startup
_startup:
reset:

FIQ_Handler_Entry:

            mov         r9,r0

Here is part of the .map file where FIQ_Handler_Entry doesnt show up,
but AT91F_Default_FIQ_handler does show up. (why?)

.text           0x00100000      0xe38
 *Cstartup.o(.text)
 .text          0x00100000      0x13c Cstartup.o
                0x001000bc                IRQ_Handler_Entry
                0x0010010c                AT91F_Default_FIQ_handler
                0x00100000                _startup
                0x00100110                AT91F_Default_IRQ_handler
                0x00100114                AT91F_Spurious_handler
                0x001000b8                exit

Then I went to this part of the assembly file

        .global AT91F_Default_FIQ_handler
        .func   AT91F_Default_FIQ_handler
AT91F_Default_FIQ_handler:
            b     AT91F_Default_FIQ_handler
        .size   AT91F_Default_FIQ_handler, . - AT91F_Default_FIQ_handler
        .endfunc

I modified "b     AT91F_Default_FIQ_handler" to "b     systime_isr"
Which is obviously the wrong thing to do because it lead me to where I
am at right now.

Thanks for help.
