General Info Interrupts Purpose/ Applications Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Nurudeen Olayiwola Thomas Gutierrez Non-maskable interrupts Example Conclusion
Question?? General Info Purpose/ Applications • When you are at home sitting on your lazy boy, how do you know when someone wants to talk to you on the phone? • Do you periodically get up and pick up the phone to see if someone is there? • Or do you wait till the phone rings to answer it? Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Answer? General Info Purpose/ Applications • The first scenario shows a person doing what is known as polling. • The second case illustrates an interrupt-driven person. Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Polling General Info Purpose/ Applications • AKA “busy waiting”; looping program • Continues checking status register until a particular state exists • “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” • What happens if something occurs at other devices while the processor is busy waiting?? Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Interrupt General Info Purpose/ Applications • Device sends a special signal to CPU when data arrives. • “Wake me up when we get there.” • Responds to hardware interrupt signal by interrupting current processing. • Now CPU can perform tasks before and after interrupt instead of just polling!! Good! Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
General Interrupt Flow General Info Purpose/ Applications • Completes current instruction • Saves current state to status registers • Identify source • Jump to and activate Interrupt Service Routing (ISR) • Return to original program (RTI) and restore state Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Register CPU Interrupt driven Example I/O device I/O device

Brief Background General Info Purpose/ Applications • Univac 1103/1103A (1953-56) – first recognized CPU with interrupts. Current instruction was stored in memory and program counter loaded with a fixed address. • Other notables: • IBM (1954) – first to use interrupt masking • NBS DYSEAC (1954) – first with I/O interrupts Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Purpose/Applications General Info Purpose/ Applications • To modify or do additional instructions based on internal requests and/or external devices. • Provide a means for suspending current instructions for more important tasks. • Hardware (called InterruptsorResets) • Reset • User-defined interrupt • Timer operations • CPU operations monitor failure • Software • Illegal instruction • SWI Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Purpose/Applications (cont.) General Info Purpose/ Applications • Coordinating I/O operations • Notifies the CPU that an input is ready or an output can be changed • Timing • Periodic (clock-driven) interrupts remind the CPU of the passage of time • Multi-tasking • Updating counters • Timing during interactive programs • Errors • Interrupts can notify of error situations Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Purpose/Applications (cont.) General Info Purpose/ Applications • Practical uses/examples • Change direction of a motor. • Auto wiper speed increased or decreased. • Pressing a pause button on a VCR • HC11 controlled transmission system • Etc. Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Types of interrupts General Info Purpose/ Applications • Ignorable interrupts (or Maskable) • Most often used • Good for using when computer needs to do something more important • When the interruptmask is set, interrupts are hidden and therefore are ignored. • Non-ignorable interrupts (Non-maskable) • NMI’s take precedence and interrupt any task Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Interrupt Vector Table General Info Purpose/ Applications • When an interrupt occurs, control of the program moves to the interrupt handling routine • Event similar to subroutine • How do we know where the handler routine is though?? • The address of the handler is provided by the interrupt vector table • IVT has one entry for each type of interrupt • Each entry is indexed by interrupt type, and includes a pointer to the handler Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Maskable when the I-bit of CCR is set Interrupt Vector Table General Info Purpose/ Applications lowest priority Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example highest priority Unmaskable
Maskable/Unmaskable General Info Purpose/ Applications • 6 Non-Maskable • always interrupt the program execution • 15 Maskable • can enable or disable by mask bits • HOW? Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Stacking order General Info When an interrupt occurs: Purpose/ Applications SP-9 1. Finish execution of the current instructionNote: Non-maskable interrupts and resets happen immediately SP-8 CCR Interrupt Priority/ IVT SP-7 ACCB SP-6 ACCA 2. HC11 pushes on stack: PC, accumulators and registers, CCR SP-5 IXH Controlling Interrupts SP-4 IXL SP-3 IYH 3. HC11 sets the I-bit Masks interrupts - can’t interrupt an interrupt Maskable interrupts SP-2 IYL SP-1 PCH 4. Looks up vector of highest-priority interrupt SP-0 PCL 5. Branches to interrupt service routine Executes until RTI is encountered 6. Restores accumulators and registers, CCR from stack (note: this includes restoring the I-bit of CCR) Example 7. Returns to instruction after the one that was interrupted (note: other interrupts may be pending now)
Controlling Interrupts: The I-bit General Info Purpose/ Applications • Exists as bit 4 in the Condition Code Register (CCR) • When set (I=1), interrupts will be inhibited and placed as pending • When cleared (I=0), interrupt servicing will be allowed when asked • The I bit is always set while servicing an interrupt; Interrupts can’t nest • Set during RESET to allow minimum system initialization Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Controlling Interrupts: The I-bit General Info Purpose/ Applications • Can also be set by software to prevent execution of maskable interrupts • SEI (SEt Interrupt Mask) • Can be cleared by software instructions • CLI (CLear Interrupt Mask) • Automatically cleared by RTI instruction Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Maskable Interrupt: HPRIO General Info Purpose/ Applications • Can elevate the priority of one of the maskable interrupts. • Uses bits 0-3 of HPRIO (Highest PRIOrity Interrupt Register) • Default is IRQ. • Can be set at anytime during program as long as I bit is set. Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Maskable Interrupt: IRQ General Info Purpose/ Applications • Highest priority maskable interrupt • IRQ pin provides additional external interrupting source • Other additional MCU pins can be used as interrupt inputs: • Example: • XIRQ input • Main-Timer Capture Pins • Pulse Accumulator Pin • IRQE Bit in the OPTION control used to specify IRQ pin configuration • IRQE = 0 -> Low level sensitive • IRQE = 1 -> Low-going edge sensitive (single source only) Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
0 1 Maskable Interrupt: IRQ General Info Purpose/ Applications • Controlled by a pin on the HC11 • A low signal will initiate interrupt sequence Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Example
Non-maskable Interrupt: XIRQ General Info Purpose/ Applications • Enabled by TAP instruction by clearing X-bit upon system initialization • After being cleared, software cannot set the X-bit, thus XIRQ is non-maskable. • Higher priority than any source maskable by the I-bit. • Both the X and I bits are automatically set by hardware after stacking the CCR. • RTI restores X and I bit to pre-interrupt states Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Non-maskable interrupts Example
Non-maskable Interrupt: SWI General Info Purpose/ Applications • Software instruction, thus cannot be interrupted until completed • Uninhibited by global mask bits in the CCR • Similar to other interrupts, sets the I-bit upon servicing Interrupt Priority/ IVT Controlling Interrupts Maskable interrupts Non-maskable interrupts Example
