Hardware Interrupts

Software Interrupts

The programmer can generate interrupts by using the software interrupt instruction
(SWI), which is supported in qFORTH by predefined macros named SWI0...SWI7. The
software triggered interrupt operates exactly like any hardware triggered interrupt. The
SWI instruction takes the top two elements from the expression stack and writes the cor-
responding bits via the I/O bus to the interrupt pending register. Therefore, by using the
SWI instruction, interrupts can be re-prioritized or lower priority processes scheduled for
later execution.

Hardware Interrupts

In the microcontroller block, there are eleven hardware interrupt sources with seven dif-
ferent levels. Each source can be masked individually by mask bits in the corresponding
control registers. An overview of the possible hardware configurations is shown in
Table 3.
