Caution:
To avoid missing interrupts, use the following coding style to clear bits in
the Interrupt Request 0 register:
Good coding style that avoids lost interrupt requests:
ANDX IRQ0, MASK
Software Interrupt Assertion
Program code can generate interrupts directly. Writing a 1 to the correct bit in the Interrupt
Request register triggers an interrupt (assuming that interrupt is enabled). When the inter-
rupt request is acknowledged by the eZ8 CPU, the bit in the Interrupt Request register is
automatically cleared to 0.
Caution: The following coding style used to generate software interrupts by setting bits in the In-
terrupt Request registers is NOT recommended. All incoming interrupts received be-
tween execution of the first LDX command and the final LDX command are lost.
Poor coding style that can result in lost interrupt requests:
LDX r0, IRQ0
OR r0, MASK
LDX IRQ0, r0
Caution: To avoid missing interrupts, use the following coding style to set bits in the Interrupt Re-
quest registers:
Good coding style that avoids lost interrupt requests:
ORX IRQ0, MASK
Interrupt Control Register Definitions
For all interrupts other than the Watch-Dog Timer interrupt, the Primary Oscillator Fail
Trap, and the Watchdog Oscillator Fail Trap, the interrupt control registers enable individ-
ual interrupts, set interrupt priorities, and indicate interrupt requests.
Interrupt Request 0 Register
The Interrupt Request 0 (IRQ0) register (Table 32) stores the interrupt requests for both
vectored and polled interrupts. When a request is presented to the interrupt controller, the
corresponding bit in the IRQ0 register becomes 1. If interrupts are globally enabled (vec-
tored interrupts), the interrupt controller passes an interrupt request to the eZ8 CPU. If
interrupts are globally disabled (polled interrupts), the eZ8 CPU can read the Interrupt
Request 0 register to determine if any interrupt requests are pending.
