3.4 Interrupt/General Control Register
The interrupt/general control (IntGenCtrl) is a 16-bit wide port-mapped register
located at address 0x38. The primary component in the IntGenCtrl is the 8-bit
interrupt mask register (IMR). The IMR is used to individually enable all
interrupts except RESET. Each bit of the IMR is associated with one of the
interrupts described in Section 3.1.5. An interrupt is enabled when the
appropriate IMR bit is set. The IMR is located at bits 0 through 7 in the
IntGenCtrl. Bit 0 is associated with INT0, which is the highest priority interrupt.
Bit 7 is associated with INT7. Refer to Section 2.7, Interrupt Logic, for more
information regarding the interrupt-system logic and initialization sequence.

The remaining bits in the IntGenCtrl have various control functions which are
not directly related to the interrupt system. Four of these are related to the timer
functions. Bits 8 and 9 are used to select the clock sources which govern the
rates of TIMER1 and TIMER2. Clearing bit 8 chooses 1/2 MC as the source
for TIMER1 (i.e., the TIMER runs at one-half the frequency of the Master
Clock). Setting bit 8 chooses the reference oscillator (RTO or CRO) as the
source for TIMER1. (The same applies for bit 9 and TIMER2.) Bits 10 and 11
are used to enable TIMER1 and TIMER2, respectively. Setting bit 10 starts
TIMER1, and clearing bit 10 stops TIMER1. (The same applies for bit 11 and
TIMER2).
