MicroBlaze crashes on interrupt (Spartan6/simulation)

[plip]

As you can see in the screenshot the MicroBlaze seems to crash/restart as soon as an interrupt (cursor) occurs. This does also happen if I use an empty ISR callback function but not if I do not register any function. What are possible reasons for this behavior?

You are using ISE/EDK, right? Which version?

Are you using axi interrupt controller? What is the interrupt source, any IP? What's the interrupt sensitive? edge or level?

Is C_BASE_VECTORS set 0 or other address? Can you describe the 'PC' pointer adress changes from interrupt happen till restart and the vector table reading?

Sorry for the late answer.

ISE 14.7. I am using an AXI interrupt controller with edge sensitive interrupt which is sourced by external logic.

At the moment I can not do further test as I'm dealing with another problem. Maybe you can take a look at this one, too:
