C.4.2 Mixed System/User Mode Operation

This mode is similar to the previous mode, but with some portions of the program written
for the System mode—for example, peripheral interrupts where latency is critical. By
keeping the System mode code sections small, potential system crashes are still mini-
mized. An overview of this level of operation is shown in Figure C-3.
