Interrupts
9.3.3 INTSTR

Systems may have differing priorities for the various interrupt cases; the ICU allows system

designers to associate each internal interrupt source with one of the two internal interrupts: FIQ and

IRQ. This association is called steering.

INTSTR is used to specify how internal interrupt sources should be steered

Bits Access Description
31:2 Read-unpredictable / Write-as-Zero Reserved
1 Read / Write
BS - BCU Steering
If BCU interrupts are enabled, this bit steers them.
0 = BCU interrupts directed to internal IRQ
1 = BCU interrupts directed to internal FIQ
0 Read / Write
PS - PMU Steering
If PMU interrupts are enabled, this bit steers them.
0 = PMU interrupts directed to internal IRQ
1 = PMU interrupts directed to internal FIQ
