Vector Table
The vector table contains the reset value of the stack pointer and the start addresses, also called
exception vectors, for all exception handlers. The vector table is constructed using the vector address
or offset shown in Table 2-8 on page 94. Figure 2-6 on page 96 shows the order of the exception
vectors in the vector table. The least-significant bit of each vector must be 1, indicating that the
exception handler is Thumb code

On system reset, the vector table is fixed at address 0x0000.0000. Privileged software can write to
the Vector Table Offset (VTABLE) register to relocate the vector table start address to a different
memory location, in the range 0x0000.0200 to 0x3FFF.FE00 (see “Vector Table” on page 96). Note
that when configuring the VTABLE register, the offset must be aligned on a 512-byte boundary.
Exception Priorities
As Table 2-8 on page 94 shows, all exceptions have an associated priority, with a lower priority
value indicating a higher priority and configurable priorities for all exceptions except Reset, Hard
fault, and NMI. If software does not configure any priorities, then all exceptions with a configurable
priority have a priority of 0. For information about configuring exception priorities, see page 147 and
page 131.
