Hard Fault exception is triggered when an user interrupt fired with uvisor enabled

Hi All,
I am new to mbed and uVisor, when I enabled uvisor for a new platform having MPU in cortex-M4 cpu. I am now able to register one user interrupt successfully, but when ever the system fires a user interrupt, I am getting an Hard Fault exception(debug prints are showing). but in the HFSR(Hard fault status register) is having all zeros only.

I am working with “mbed OS 15.11 Technology Preview Release”.

Thanks for your quick answer.

If you have a license for uVision could you take a look at Blog | Mbed and share the stack trace?

Hi, you mentioned you are getting debug prints, so I guess you enabled semihosting. Could you please post here the full set of semihosting messages, from reset up to the fault?

Also, it would help to see a snippet that shows the code sequence you use to set, enable and handle an IRQ. Which platform are you running this code on?

Hi AlessandroA,
ARM’s Semihosting feature is not enabled in this case. and for debugging prints we are using UART. and coming to platform ours is a own in house platform.
Here are the debug UART prints for reference.
