Introduction
• The software watchdog timer or the NMI input signal to the pro-
cessor generates this event. The NMI event is frequently used as a
power-down indicator to initiate an orderly shut down of the
system.
• Exceptions
• Synchronous to program flow. That is, the exception is taken
before the instruction is allowed to complete. Conditions such as
data alignment violations, undefined instructions, etc. cause
exceptions.
• Interrupts
• Asynchronous to program flow. These are caused by timers,
peripherals, input pins, etc.
Each event has an associated register to hold the return address and an
associated return-from-event instruction. When an event is triggered, the
state of the processor is saved on the kernel stack.
The ADSP-BF535 processor event controller consists of two stages: the
Core Event Controller (CEC) and the System Interrupt Controller (SIC).
The CEC works with the SIC to prioritize and control all system events.
Conceptually, interrupts from the peripherals arrive at the SIC and are
routed directly into the general-purpose interrupts of the CEC.
DMA Support
The ADSP-BF535 processor has independent DMA channels for each
DMA capable peripheral that supports automated data transfers with min-
imal processor core overhead. DMA transfers can occur between the
ADSP-BF535 internal memories and any of its DMA capable peripherals.
Additionally, DMA transfers can be accomplished between any of the
DMA capable peripherals and external devices connected to the external
memory interfaces. These include the SDRAM controller, asynchronous
