Interrupts and Interrupt Controller (INTC)
10.5.2.2 Hardware Vector Mode
This interrupt exception handler is useful with processor and system bus implementations that support a
hardware vector. In this example, each interrupt_exception_handlerx has space for only four
instructions, and therefore a branch to interrupt_ exception_handler_continuedx is needed.
interrupt_exception_handlerx:
b
interrupt_exception_handler_continuedx# 4 instructions available, branch to continue
interrupt_exception_handler_continuedx:
code to create stack frame, save working register, and save SRR0 and SRR1
wrteei 1
# enable processor recognition of interrupts
code to save rest of context required by e500 EABI
bl
ISRx
# branch to ISR for interrupt with vector x
epilog:
code to restore most of context required by e500 EABI
# Popping the LIFO after the restoration of most of the context and the disabling of processor
# recognition of interrupts eases the calculation of the maximum stack depth at the cost of
# postponing the servicing of the next interrupt request.
mbar
# ensure store to clear flag bit has completed
lis
r3,INTC_EOIR@ha
# form adjusted upper half of INTC_EOIR address
li
r4,0x0
# form 0 to write to INTC_EOIR
wrteei 0
# disable processor recognition of interrupts
stw
r4,INTC_EOIR@l(r3)
# store to INTC_EOIR, informing INTC to lower priority
code to restore SRR0 and SRR1, restore working registers, and delete stack frame
rfi
ISRx:
code to service the interrupt event
code to clear flag bit which drives interrupt request to INTC
blr
# branch to epilog
10.5.3 ISR, RTOS, and Task Hierarchy
The RTOS and all of the tasks under its control typically execute with PRI in INTC current priority register
(INTC_CPR) having a value of 0. The RTOS execute the tasks according to whatever priority scheme that
it has, but that priority scheme is independent and has a lower priority of execution than the priority scheme
of the INTC. In other words, the ISRs execute above INTC_CPR priority 0 and outside the control of the
RTOS, the RTOS executes at INTC_CPR priority 0, and while the tasks execute at different priorities
under the control of the RTOS, they also execute at INTC_CPR priority 0.
If a task shares a resource with an ISR and the PCP is being used to manage that shared resource, then the
task’s priority can be elevated in the INTC_CPR while the shared resource is being accessed.
