2.2 Interrupts
The interrupt priorities are fixed and defined by the arrangement of the
modules in the connection chain as shown in Figure 23. The nearer a module
is to the CPU/NMIRS, the higher the priority. Interrupt priorities determine what
interrupt is taken when more than one interrupt is pending simultaneously.
There are three types of interrupts:
-System reset
-(Non)-maskable NMI
-Maskable
