Description

Generic functions to access the Interrupt Controller.

This section describes the device agnostic interrupt API viable for a wide range of specific interrupt controllers. The IRQ Controller API allows interrupt dependend applications to be easily portable across a wide range of controllers.

Note: The default implementation for Arm GIC (Generic Interrupt Controller) can be found in irq_ctrl_gic.c. It uses weak functions thus it can easily be overwritten by an alternative user implementation if needed.

The Armv7-A architecture defines a common set of first level exceptions, see table below.

Exception	CMSIS Handler	Offset	Description
Reset	Reset_Handler	0x0000	First instruction executed after reset.
Undefined Instruction (Undef)	Undef_Handler	0x0004	Signals usage of an illegal instructions.
Supervisor Call (SVC)	SVC_Handler	0x0008	Issued by software using SVC instruction.
Prefetch Abort (PAbt)	PAbt_Handler	0x000C	Signals a memory abort on istruction fetch.
Data Abort (DAbt)	DAbt_Handler	0x0010	Signals a memory abort on data read or write.
Hyp Trap	(NOP)	0x0014	Hypervisor instruction trap, only available with Virtualization Extensions.
IRQ interrupt	IRQ_Handler	0x0018	Interrupt Request (typically from Interrupt Controller)
FIQ interrupt	FIQ_Handler	0x001C	Fast Interrupt Request (typically from Interrupt Controller)

By default those handlers are defined as weak empty functions by the device specific startup code. Software and peripheral interrupts are all handled by one of the both central interrupt handlers (IRQ and FIQ). These needs to be implemented application specific. If an RTOS is used the interrupt handlers are typically provided by the RTOS, e.g. when using CMSIS-RTX.

The interrupts available depends on the actual device in use. According to CMSIS specification the interrupts are defined in IRQn_Type in Device Header File <Device.h>. Using the generic IRQ API one can easily enable and disable interrupts, set up priorities, modes and preemption rules, and register interrupt callbacks.

Example:

void SGI0_Handler() {
  /* 
   * Handle Interrupt 
   */
  
  IRQ_ClearPending((IRQn_ID_t)SGI0_IRQn);
}
 
void main() {
  /* Initialize the Interrupt Controller */
  IRQ_Initialize();
  
  /* Register the user defined handler function */
  IRQ_SetHandler((IRQn_ID_t)SGI0_IRQn, SGI0_Handler);  
  
  /* Set the priority considering the priority grouping */
  const uint32_t subprio = IRQ_GetPriorityGroupBits();
  IRQ_SetPriority((IRQn_ID_t)SGI0_IRQn, 1u << subprio);
  
  /* Set interrupt mode to falling edge */
  IRQ_SetMode((IRQn_ID_t)SGI0_IRQn, IRQ_MODE_TYPE_IRQ | IRQ_MODE_CPU_0 | IRQ_MODE_TRIG_EDGE | IRQ_MODE_TRIG_EDGE_FALLING);
  
  IRQ_Enable((IRQn_ID_t)SGI0_IRQn);
  
  /* Trigger interrupt */
  IRQ_SetPending((IRQn_ID_t)SGI0_IRQn);
  
  IRQ_Disable((IRQn_ID_t)SGI0_IRQn);
}

This function sets the priority of the interrupt identified by the irqn parameter.

Higher priority numbers have lower priority. The highest interrupt priority has priority value 0, while the lowest value depends on the number of implemented priority levels.

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error.

This function sets the number of MSB priority bits used to determine whether a pending interrupt has sufficient priority to preempt a currently active interrupt.

The number of implemented group priority bits can be determined by setting value IRQ_PRIORITY_Msk and by retrieving the actual stored value with IRQ_GetPriorityGroupBits function. Function returns error status -1 if priority grouping is not supported.

For Arm GIC the default implementation looks like the following example:

int32_t IRQ_SetPriorityGroupBits (uint32_t bits) {

  }
 
  if (bits < 8U) {
