Exception Types and Priorities
Status Registers
Exceptions
There are banked registers SPs, LRs and SPSRs for each privileged mode (for more details see
the ARM9EJ-S Technical Reference Manual, ref. DDI0222B, revision r1p2 page 2-12).
The ARM9EJ-S core contains one CPSR, and five SPSRs for exception handlers to use. The
program status registers:

leged mode. The types of exceptions are:
• CPSR
• hold information about the most recently performed ALU operation
• control the enabling and disabling of interrupts
• set the processor operation mode
• N: Negative, Z: Zero, C: Carry, and V: Overflow are the four ALU flags
• The Sticky Overflow (Q) flag can be set by certain multiply and fractional arithmetic
• The J bit in the CPSR indicates when the ARM9EJ-S core is in Jazelle state, where:
• Mode: five bits to encode the current processor mode
• Fast interrupt (FIQ)
• Normal interrupt (IRQ)
• Data and Prefetched aborts (Abort)
• Undefined instruction (Undefined)
• Software interrupt and Reset (Supervisor)
instructions like QADD, QDADD, QSUB, QDSUB, SMLAxy, and SMLAWy needed to achieve
DSP operations.
The Q flag is sticky in that, when set by an instruction, it remains set until explicitly cleared by
an MSR instruction writing to the CPSR. Instructions cannot execute conditionally on the
status of the Q flag.
ARM9EJ-S supports five types of exceptions. Each type drives the ARM9EJ-S in a privi-
