S3C8245/P8245/C8249/P8249 INTERRUPT STRUCTURE
5-7
INTERRUPT PROCESSING CONTROL POINTS
Interrupt processing can therefore be controlled in two ways: globally or by specific interrupt level and source. The
system-level control points in the interrupt structure are:
Global interrupt enable and disable (by EI and DI instructions or by direct manipulation of SYM.0 )
Interrupt level enable/disable settings (IMR register)
Interrupt level priority settings (IPR register)
Interrupt source enable/disable settings in the corresponding peripheral control registers
NOTE
When writing an application program that handles interrupt processing, be sure to include the necessary
register file address (register pointer) information.
