MS_uC / dnd / V VIC - Vectored Interrupts Programming without interrupts  The main() function executes all peripheral calls in a fixed sequence

MS_uC / dnd / V VIC - Vectored Interrupts What are interrupts?  Interrupts are asynchronous events that may happen any time  Interrupts stop the execution of the current task  The processor jumps into the interrupt service routine (ISR)  The short ISR is executed  Control is given back to the previously executing task  Interrupts may have priorities.  Concurrent interrupts (interrupts that happen at the same time) are serviced according to their priority  Interrupts may be enabled or disabled  Library functions that may be executed by an ISR must be thread-safe (they have to adhere to some specific rules)  An ISR should if possible not trigger another interrupt

MS_uC / dnd / V VIC - Vectored Interrupts VIC –Interrupt Controller Features zTwo ARM Interrupt Controllers are connected in Daisy Chain zGenerates Fast interrupt (FIQ) and Vectored interrupt requests (IRQ) to CPU z32 vectored interrupts, 16 from each VIC zProgrammable priority on interrupts z27 interrupts assigned to internal Peripherals z5 interrupts assigned to Wake Up Unit ( external interrupts) zUp to 30 external interrupts from Ports 3 ( 6 inputs), 5, 6 and 7 zWake Up Unit enables/disables external interrupts, generating Wake up event in low power mode ®

MS_uC / dnd / V VIC - Vectored Interrupts VIC Features zFIQ is a non-vectored interrupt and is dedicated to a user specified source. zIRQ is an ORed output of up to 32 interrupts. The CPU reads the current IRQ vector address in the VIC and jumps to ISR. Reading of the vector address clears the IRQ request. zVectored_Intr_0 has the highest and Vectored_Intr_31 has the lowest priority. The interrupt input source to each Vectored Interrupt is software selectable (programmable peripheral interrupt priority). zThe VIC hardware resolves the priority when multiple interrupts occur. z The IRQ and FIQ can be generated even when the AHB clock is disabled in a low power mode. ®

MS_uC / dnd / V VIC - Vectored Interrupts VIC-Wake Up Unit Features zWake Up Unit Generates 5 interrupts to the VIC yInterrupt_0 as an ORed interrupt of all 30 external interrupts, RTC and USB Resume interrupt yInterrupt_1 to _3, are interrupts selected from Ports 3,4,5 and 6 (one from each port) zEnables and configures external interrupts as inputs to the VIC zEnables and configures external inputs as Wake Up event to the CPU in Sleep mode zAll inputs can be masked individually, and edge polarity is programmable ®

MS_uC / dnd / V VIC - Vectored Interrupts VIC Configuration zA vectored interrupt requires the following VIC register configuration: zEnable interrupt channel by setting the enable bit in VICx_IntEnable register zClear bit in VICx_Select register to configure input as vectored IRQ interrupt or as FIQ interrupt. zSet the E bit and specify the interrupt source in the VICx_VectCntl (control) register ®

MS_uC / dnd / V VIC - Vectored Interrupts External Intr. Configuration zUp to 30 external interrupts from Ports 3,5,6 and 7 zOnly one interrupt from each port can be selected at one time. zWIU_TR Register– configure triggering edge of each interrupt zWIU_MR Register – mask out not used interrupt inputs zWIU_CTRL Register – define input as interrupt or/and as wake up event zSCU_WKUPSEL Register – select one input from each port (Ports 3,5,6,7) as interrupt input to the VIC. ®
