16.5 Initialization/Application Information
16.5.1 Initialization
After system reset, software should:
• Initialize the interrupt vector base register if the interrupt vector table is not located at the default
location (0xFF10–0xFFF9).
• Initialize the interrupt processing level configuration data registers (INT_CFADDR,
INT_CFDATA0–7) for all interrupt vector requests with the desired priority levels and the request
target (CPU or XGATE module). It might be a good idea to disable unused interrupt requests.
• If the XGATE module is used, setup the XGATE interrupt priority register (INT_XGPRIO) and
configure the XGATE module (please refer the XGATE Block Guide for details).
• Enable I maskable interrupts by clearing the I bit in the CCR.
• Enable the X maskable interrupt by clearing the X bit in the CCR (if required).
16.5.2 Interrupt Nesting
The interrupt request priority level scheme makes it possible to implement priority based interrupt request
nesting for the I bit maskable interrupt requests handled by the CPU.
• I bit maskable interrupt requests can be interrupted by an interrupt request with a higher priority,
so that there can be up to seven nested I bit maskable interrupt requests at a time (refer to
Figure 16-14 for an example using up to three nested interrupt requests).
I bit maskable interrupt requests cannot be interrupted by other I bit maskable interrupt requests per
default. In order to make an interrupt service routine (ISR) interruptible, the ISR must explicitly clear the
I bit in the CCR (CLI). After clearing the I bit, I bit maskable interrupt requests with higher priority can
interrupt the current ISR.
An ISR of an interruptible I bit maskable interrupt request could basically look like this:
• Service interrupt, e.g., clear interrupt flags, copy data, etc.
• Clear I bit in the CCR by executing the instruction CLI (thus allowing interrupt requests with
higher priority)
• Process data
• Return from interrupt by executing the instruction RTI
