interrupt output signals to the CPU. The output signals are FIQ and IRQ, with FIQ having higher
priority.
FIQ handling
FIQ (Fast Interrupt reQuest) is the only non-vectored interrupt and the CPU can execute an
Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) directly without having to determine/prioritize the interrupt
source, minimizing ISR latency. Typically only one interrupt source is assigned to FIQ. An FIQ
interrupt has its own set of banked registers to minimize the time to make a context switch. Any
of the 32 interrupt request input signals coming into the VIC can be assigned to FIQ.
IRQ handling
IRQ is a vectored interrupt and is the logical OR of all 32 interrupt request signals coming into
the 32 IRQ channels. Priority of individual vectored interrupt requests is determined by
hardware (IRQ channel Intr 0 is highest priority, IRQ channel Intr 31 is lowest). However, CPU
firmware may re-assign individual interrupt sources to individual hardware IRQ channels,
meaning that firmware can effectively change interrupt priority levels as needed.
When the IRQ signal is activated by an interrupt request, VIC hardware will resolve the IRQ
interrupt priority, then the ISR reads the VIC to determine both the interrupt source and the
vector address to jump to the service code.
The STR91xF has a feature to reduce ISR response time for IRQ interrupts. Typically, it
requires two memory accesses to read the interrupt vector address from the VIC, but the
STR91xF reduces this to a single access by adding a 5th entry in the instruction branch cache,
dedicated for interrupts. This 5th cache entry always holds the instruction that reads the
interrupt vector address from the VIC, eliminating one of the memory accesses typically
required in traditional ARM implementations.
Interrupt sources
The 32 interrupt request signals coming into the VIC on 32 IRQ channels are from various
sources; 5 from a wake-up unit and the remaining 27 come from internal sources on the
STR91xF such as on-chip peripherals, see
on any IRQ channel.
One of the 5 interrupt requests generated by the wake-up unit (IRQ25 in
from the logical OR of all 32 inputs to the wake-up unit. Any of these 32 inputs may be used to
wake up the CPU and cause an interrupt. These 32 inputs consist of 30 external interrupts on
selected and enabled GPIO pins, plus the RTC interrupt, and the USB Resume interrupt.
Each of 4 remaining interrupt requests generated by the wake-up unit (IRQ26 in
derived from groupings of 8 interrupt sources. One group is from GPIO pins P3.2 to P3.7 plus
the RTC interrupt and the USB Resume interrupt; the next group is from pins P5.0 to P5.7; the
next group is from pins P6.0 to P6.7; and last the group is from pins P7.0 to P7.7. This allows
individual pins to be assigned directly to vectored IRQ interrupts or one pin assigned directly to
the non-vectored FIQ interrupt.
