Interrupts and Interrupt Controller (INTC)

PXR40 Microcontroller Reference Manual, Rev. 1
An ISR whose PRI
n
in INTC priority select registers (INTC_PSR0–INTC_PSR479) has a value of 0 does
not cause an interrupt request to the processor, even if its peripheral or software configurable interrupt
request is asserted. For a peripheral interrupt request, not setting its enable bit or disabling the mask bit
causes it to remain negated, which consequently also does not cause an interrupt request to the processor.
Since the ISRs are outside the control of the RTOS, this ISR does not run unless called by another ISR or
the interrupt exception handler, perhaps after executing another ISR.
10.5.4
Order of Execution
An ISR with a higher priority can preempt an ISR with a lower priority, regardless of the unique vectors
associated with each of their peripheral or software configurable interrupt requests. However, if multiple
peripheral or software configurable interrupt requests are asserted, more than one has the highest priority,
and that priority is high enough to cause preemption, the INTC selects the one with the lowest unique
vector regardless of the order in time that they asserted. However, the ability to meet deadlines with this
scheduling scheme is no less than if the ISRs execute in the time order that their peripheral or software
configurable interrupt requests asserted.
shows the order of execution of both ISRs with different priorities, and with
the same priority.
