2.4 Interrupt Control

The interrupt control logic processes internal interrupt requests (68EN360), together with external requests (VME) and
external autovectored interrupt requests. The interrupt control logic is built up using the 68EN360 internal interrupt
controlling and a 7-level VMEbus interrupt handler with the corresponding mask register.

2.4.1 Internal Requests

Internal requests are related to all interrupt requests caused by the 68EN360 sources, including the 68EN360 system
integration functions (watchdog timer, periodic interrupt timer) and the communication processor module (RISC
controller, timers, DMAs, SCCs and so on). For more information, please refer to the 68EN360 User’s Manual.

In order to avoid conflicts regarding interrupt levels, it is recommended to use IRQ level 4 for 68EN360 CPU internal
requests and IRQ level 6 for 68EN360 SIM60 internal requests.

Note

The 4 IRQ lines specified by CXC are supplied by the 68EN360 Port C lines and are therefore also
processed as internal requests (PC0, 1, 2, 3).

2.4.2 External Autovector Requests

Some 68EN360 external interrupt sources are routed to the IRQ lines of the 68EN360 and generated as autovectored
interrupts. Care must be taken that the relevant 68EN360 register is initialised with respect to the wiring (see also the
Software Configuration chapter in this manual).
