6.7.3 ARM/DSP Communications Interrupts
The INTGEN register is used for generating interrupts between the ARM and DSP. The INTGEN register
format is shown in Figure 6-18. Table 6-24 describes the register bit fields. The ARM may generate an
interrupt to the DSP by setting one of the four INTDSP[3:0] bits or the INTNMI bit. The interrupt bit
automatically self clears and the corresponding DSP[3:0]STAT or NMISTAT bit is automatically set to
indicate that the interrupt was generated. After servicing the interrupt, the DSP clears the status bit by
writing ‘0’. The ARM may poll the status bit to determine when the DSP has completed servicing the
interrupt. The DSP may generate an interrupt to the ARM in the same manner using the INTARM[1:0] bits
and monitor ARM interrupt servicing via the ARM[1:0]STAT bits.

Description
(1) Write '0' to clear. Writing '1' has no effect.
(2) Write '1' to generate the interrupt. The register bit automatically clears to a value of '0'. Writing a '0' has no effect.
