  1. ECE 353Introduction to Microprocessor Systems Michael G. Morrow, P.E. Week 11

  2. Topics • Interrupt Concepts • ARM7TDMI Interrupt Handling • ADuC7026 Interrupt Implementation • Interrupt Sources • Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs) • Interrupt Driven Systems • Software Interrupts and Exceptions • Interrupt Priority and Latency • Debugging Interrupt Hardware and Software

  3. Why Use Interrupts? • Maximize processor utilization and efficiency • Allow use of sleep/idle states to save power • Minimize latency in responding to complex input/output structures • Facilitate event-driven applications and preemptive multitasking

  4. Interrupt Primer • Terminology • Basic interrupt hardware • Interrupt request • Interrupt acknowledge • Interrupt masking • Non-maskable interrupt (NMI) • Interrupt sensitivity • Level-sensitive • Edge-sensitive

  5. Interrupt Concepts • Supporting multiple interrupt sources • Polled interrupts • Vectored interrupts • Fixed ISR locations • Vector table implementations • Generic implementation • Prioritization Schemes • Fixed • Rotating • Hierarchical • Software interrupts and exceptions

  6. ARM7TDMI Interrupt Handling • Interrupt modes • IRQ • Banks R13, R14, SPSR • FIQ • Banks R8-R12, R13, R14, SPSR • SWI (software interrupt) discussed later • Interrupt control • CPSR I/F flags • Interrupt processing sequence • Interrupt nesting

  7. ADuC7026 Hardware Interrupts • Interrupt sources • Internal peripherals • External IRQ pins • Programmed interrupts • Interrupt sources can be individually programmed to generate either FIQ or IRQ mode entry. • No prioritization of individual sources at a given level (FIQ/IRQ)

  8. ADuC7026 Interrupt MMRs • These MMRs are used to control the interrupt handling • IRQSIG, FIQSIG • Ones indicate that the source has an interrupt pending • IRQEN, FIQEN • Ones indicate that the interrupt request from the source is unmasked (i.e. the interrupt source is enabled) • IRQSTA, FIQSTA • Ones indicate that the sources have an interrupt enabled and pending • Used in ISR to determine which device(s) need(s) service • IRQCLR, FIQCLR • Write ones to clear the corresponding bit in IRQEN, FIQEN (i.e. to mask an interrupt source) • This is NOT how you clear an interrupt request in the ISR!

  9. ADuC7026 Programmed Interrupts • The programmed interrupt feature allows us to programmatically force an entry into FIQ mode or IRQ mode • Write to SWICFG register, do not need to have programmed interrupt enabled in IRQEN/FIQEN • Note that the use of “SWI” has absolutely nothing to do with the ARM7 SWI instruction and supervisor mode

  10. Interrupt Service Routines • ISR prerequisites • aduc7026.s • ISR implementation • Context save • Clear IRQ from interrupt source • Allow nesting (if desired) • Handle interrupt • Context restore • Return from interrupt/exception • Interrupt Checklist on course web page • Shared subroutines and resources

  11. Interrupt Driven Systems • Foreground vs. background tasks. • Events determine the actual order of execution.

  12. Software Interrupts & Exceptions • SWI instruction • Exceptions • ARM7TDMI exceptions • Prefetch abort • Data abort • Undefined instruction • Reset • Other common exceptions • Divide error • Single-step • Breakpoint

  13. Interrupt Prioritization and Latency • Handling multiple simultaneous interrupts and exceptions • ARM7TDMI exception priorities • Interrupt prioritization schemes • Fixed • Rotating • Tiered (hierarchical) • Interrupt Latency • Definition • ADuC7026 latency specifics

  14. Interrupt Issues • Using periodic interrupts to perform iterative tasks • What to do when good interrupts go bad… • Software debugging • Hardware debugging • Real-time issues • Inter-process communication (IPC) issues

  15. In-Class Assessment Quiz • What sort of safeguards might you need to design into NMI hardware? • For the ARM7TDMI, describe what happens between an IRQ being asserted and the actual execution of the ISR. • What are the differences between vectored interrupts and polled interrupts?

  16. In-Class Assessment Quiz • What is a ‘level-sensitive’ interrupt? • What problems could arise when using a semaphore to control access to a resource used by the main program and an ISR? What ARM7TDMI instruction(s) help handle this issue? • Draw a flowchart for a periodic (1 KHz) ISR that will be used to generate precise millisecond delays. Only a single word variable is to be used to communicate with the ISR.

  17. Wrapping Up • Homework #6 due Wednesday, 4/25. • Reading for next week • Textbook 15 • Supplement #5 (Learn@UW)

  18. ARM7 CPSR • Current Process Status Register (CPSR) • Condition code flags (N, Z, C, V) • Interrupt disable bits (I, F) • Thumb mode enable (T) • Never change directly! • Mode select • These bits cannot be changed in User mode

  19. ARM7 SPSR • Suspended Process Status Register (SPSR) • SPSR is only present when the CPU is operating in one of the exception modes • Each exception mode has its own SPSR, since exception handlers may cause other exceptions. • SPSR is a copy of the CPSR immediately before the exception mode was entered. • When returning from the exception, the value in SPSR is used to restore the CPSR to the proper state for the process that was interrupted.
