10.5.7 UIC Vector Configuration Register (UICO_ VCR)
The write-only UICO_ VCR enables software control
of
interrupt vector generation for critical interrupts.
UICO_VCR contains an address, used
as
an interrupt vector base address, and specifies interrupt
ordering priority.
Vector generation is not performed for non-critical interrupts.
UICO_ VCR[VBA] can contain either the base address for an interrupt handler vector table or the base
address for the interrupt handler associated with each interrupt. The actual interrupt vector (the
address of the interrupt handler that services the interrupt) is generated in the
UICO_ VR, using
UICO_VCR[VBA]. Vector generation is described in "UIC Vector Register (UICO_VR)" on page 10-19.
Because the two lowest-order bits
of
an interrupt handler address are assumed to be 00 to ensure
word alignment,
30 bits are sufficient to form the base address.
A general interrupt handler uses the vector to access a table of interrupt vectors. Each interrupt vector
table entry contains the address of an interrupt handler for a specific interrupt. Alternatively,
UICO_VCR[VBA] can directly address the interrupt handlers for specific interrupts, which in memory
are separated by an offset calculated in
UICO_ VA.
UICO_VCR[PRO]
controls whether the interrupt associated with UICO_SR[O]
or
UICO_SR[31] has the
highest priority.
If UICO_ VCR[PRO] = 0, the interrupt associated with UICO_SR[O] has the highest
priority; if
UICO_VCR[PRO] =
1,
the interrupt associated with UICO_SR[31] has the highest priority.
