Peripheral Architecture
For additional flexibility of interrupt handling, the INSTAT bit in the interrupt priority vector status/clear register (INTPRI) reports the highest priority interrupt asserted in INTPENDSET when INTLOCAL = 1 in CTRL. The VLYNQ interprets bit 0 of the INSTAT bits as the highest priority and interprets bit 31 as the lowest priority. The value that is returned when read is the vector of the highest priority interrupt. Software can clear that interrupt by writing back the vector value. Additionally, INTRPRI provides a
The VLYNQ interrupt generation mechanism is shown in Figure 8.

2.11.2Writes to Interrupt Pending/Set Register
As previously discussed, if the CPU writes to the VLYNQ interrupt pending/set register (INTPENDSET), then depending on the value of the INTLOCAL bit in the VLYNQ control register (CTRL), this will result in a local interrupt (to the device interrupt controller) or an interrupt packet transmitted over the serial interface to the remote device.
